law prepared under Section 34 of Ontario’s Planning Act.

– Regulates the use of land and the location, character, height and massing of buildings and structures.

• The Zoning By-law is enforced by the

Township:

– To receive a building permit, your project must comply with all applicable provisions of the Zoning By-law.

What is the Purpose of this Project?

• The purpose of the project is to develop a new Comprehensive Zoning By-law for the

King City Urban Area (see map below) and the Schomberg Urban Area.

• This meeting is being held to introduce the Draft Urban Areas Zoning By-law. The Draft

By-law is now available on the Township’s website (www.king.ca) for download.

King City Urban Area Zoning By-law Review

• King City is currently subject to the

Township’s comprehensive Zoning By-law

• No. 74-53.
• The current Zoning By-law is structured

and functions similarly to other Zoning By- laws in Ontario. It contains:

– Zoning maps that designate all lands into different “zones” (see image at right) – 21 zone categories, each of which is associated with permitted uses and lot and building requirements – There are also General Provisions that are applicable to certain uses or in certain circumstances – There are Definitions to assist in interpreting the Zoning By-law

What does the existing zoning for King City look like?

• Part 5 identifies the Zones and

Maps.

– Schedule “A” zones all lands in King City with a particular zone category. In total, 24 zones are identified. The zones are shown on Schedule A. – Part 5 also defines the various overlays and suffices applied in certain areas, such as the holding symbol (H) which is applied to some areas. – Parts 6 through 9 outline the provisions that apply to the defined zone categories. – Part 5 also includes provisions for ensuring the maps are interpreted consistently.

List of Proposed Zone Categories Residential Zones

R1, R1A, R1B, R1C, R1D, R1E, R1F, R1G and R1H The R1 and variations of the R1 zone is applied to lots with single detached dwellings. Generally speaking:

• R1 is used for newer residential areas.
• R1A is a zone created to be applied for future development.
• R1B through R1H provide specific provisions that reflect certain neighbourhoods. These zones are

applied to various established neighbourhoods in King City, Nobleton and Schomberg. R2 This zone is applied to semi-detached dwellings. R3 This zone is applied to townhouse dwellings. R4 This zone is applied to multi-unit buildings, such as apartment buildings and retirement homes.

Commercial Zones

CAK The Core Area – King City zone applies special design standards and provides for a mix of uses in King City’s core area. This is a new zone. An equivalent zone was created for Nobleton (CAN) and for Schomberg (CAS). C1 The Commercial General zone is used for a variety of commercial uses. It is applied to a few commercial lots in King City. C2 The Commercial Highway Zone is used for highway-oriented commercial uses. This zone is not applied anywhere in King City.

How have the key issues been addressed?

• The Discussion Paper presented several key issues to be addressed through this review. The

approach for addressing some of the key issues are described as follows:

Key Issue How was this Issue Addressed in the Draft Zoning By-law?

The development of a new Zoning By-law represents an opportunity to modernize and improve the clarity

• f the Zoning By-law.
• Defined terms and consistent use of defined terms have been implemented throughout the Zoning By-law.
• Zone exceptions are consolidated into the By-law.
• The General Provisions have been updated to address modern zoning practices and new issues not previously addressed.
• Illustrations, an index of defined terms and italicized defined terms have been integrated to provide convenience for readers.
• The By-law integrates a new, modern format and structure.

There is a need to conserve the character of stable residential neighbourhoods.

• New zone categories have been developed and applied to the established neighbourhoods of the community which better

reflect current setbacks, building heights, and other characteristics.

• Special front yard provisions apply within the established neighbourhoods (Section 3.17).
• Some developments were associated with zoning amendments at the time of development, and any such amendments have

been integrated into the Draft Urban Areas Zoning By-law.

• These approaches have integrated input received from the community at the June 29 mature neighbourhoods workshop.

There is a need to implement the design, density and permitted use policies for King City’s Core Area, to assist in creating a mixed use, walkable built form, in accordance with the King City Community Plan.

• New Core Area – King City (CAK) Zone incorporates minimum and maximum front yard setbacks and minimum building

heights to help create a more desirable, attractive, walkable Village core.

• The new CAK zone is applied within the Core Area designation of the King City Community Plan.

There is a need to facilitate higher density and mixed use development in the vicinity of the GO Station, in accordance with the King City Community Plan.

• A Future Use/Development zone (F zone) has been applied to the areas designated by the King City Community Plan as the GO

Station area.

• In this area, only existing uses are permitted. Future development will require a Zoning By-law Amendment, at which time the

Township will be able to review the application in detail for conformity to the Community Plan’s policies. There is a need to implement the Source Protection Plan.

• New Schedule “B” and associated general provisions implement restrictions on uses to protect source water within the

wellhead protection areas.
