Zoning By-Law Amendment |
|
If a property owner has a plan to develop a property in a way that does not comply with the requirements in the zoning by-law for the property, they would be required to apply for a zoning by-law amendment. This application would need to be approved prior to the development occurring. For example, changing the use of a house in a residential area to a commercial business would require an amendment to the zoning by-law through an application. |

Zoning By-Law Amendment Application |
|
A Zoning By-law Amendment Application is submitted to the Township for review, and Council will make the final decision on the application. Certain changes may require not only a zoning amendment, but may also require an Official Plan Amendment or a Site Plan Agreement. Anyone interested in filing a Zoning by-law Amendment Application is encouraged to review the process guide as well as consult with the Township of Warwick Planning team ahead of time.
