Summit-Permit Makes Re-zoning Easy

Zoning is a method of preventing conflicting land uses and establishing development standards. Specific zoning by-laws specify the height limits of buildings, property line setbacks, parking requirements for specific uses, and other factors.

Rezoning application typically splits the land into zoning districts (Residence, Commercial, Industrial), and sub-district(s) (R1 and R2). One residential district may only permit single-family detached homes, while another may allow duplexes and specific in-home businesses. Single-family residential areas are generally the most regulated regions.

Zoning regulations have an impact on the construction and land use permits, as well as other factors such as building type and lot size.

The Zoning Certificate of Occupancy is a legal document that authorizes the modification or expansion in reliance on zoning regulations. Ex. changing from a store to eat, or an unoccupied room to some other purpose. The Zoning Certificate of Occupancy is necessary for anyone to change the use of any land, building or structure.

The Zoning Change bylaw amendment is utilized for major revisions to the by law, such as land use changes or significant increases in permitted building heights and development densities. Issues such as parking requirements or slight modifications to building height are classified as Minor Variances.

In Ontario, a developer must submit sworn planning application and seek approval from the appropriate decision maker to alter land use or establish new lots. The decision maker will consider your application and make recommendations for land use changes.
