Zoning By-law Amendments
The Municipality of Brockton Comprehensive Zoning By-Law is a legal document, which is used to control the use and development of properties and buildings.
A Zoning By-law Amendment is used for major revisions to the By-law such as land use changes or significant increases in permitted building heights and development densities.
Amendments to the Zoning By-law may be obtained from time to time by submitting an application to the Bruce County Planning Department as the County of Bruce is the approval authority for Zoning By-law Amendment Applications.
When is a Zoning By-Law Amendment required?
If you want to use or build something your property in a way that is not permitted by the provisions of the Zoning By-law, you may be required to apply for a Zoning by-law amendment (also called a Re-zoning).
A Zoning By-law amendment is required to ensure significant property changes align with the overlying Zoning By-law and aligns with permitted uses within the Official Plan.
What is the process for a Zoning By-Law Amendment?
A Zoning By-law Amendment application process described here applies to most applications and takes approximately three (3) months. The timeframe will vary for complicated applications and is affected by Council’s schedule and the number of applications processed at any given time.
