A Zoning By-Law controls the use of land in our community, such as:
- Where buildings and other structures can be located;
- The types of buildings that are permitted and how they may be used; and
- The lot sizes and dimensions, parking requirements, building heights, and setbacks from the street.

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, they are required to apply for a Zoning By-Law Amendment. This application would need to be approved prior to the development starting. An example of this is changing the use of a house in a residential area to a commercial business, which 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 Department before submitting an application.
