PREAMBLE <br />Preamble <br />This Section provides an overview of the structure of this By -law and describes generally how <br />each Section of this By -law should be used. This Section is provided for information purposes <br />only and does not form part of the By -law. <br />Sections of the By -law <br />The Zoning By -law is comprised of the following Sections, which are described briefly as <br />follows: <br />Section 1.0: General <br />Section 1.0 addresses legal matters of the By -law, including its name, scope and other <br />matters. <br />Section 2.0: Interpretation <br />Section 2.0 addresses how the By -law is to be interpreted with respect to the use and meaning <br />of terms, and the interpretation of special use regulations. <br />Section 3.0: Administration <br />Section 3.0 addresses the administration of the By -law and the relationship of the By -law to <br />issuance of building permits, certificates of occupancy and other administrative or legal <br />matters. <br />Section 4.0: Definitions <br />The Zoning By -law is a legal document, and as such, it must be clear and easily interpreted in <br />order to be effective. Section 4.0 provides the definitions for terms and uses identified within <br />this By -law. In some cases, the definition of a term may be technical in nature, and as such, <br />understanding the definitions is critical to ensuring conformity with the Zoning By -law. For <br />some technical or complex definitions, a diagram may be provided to help clarify the meaning <br />of a term, for illustration purposes only. Where a definition for a term is provided in Section 4.0, <br />the term is italicized in the text of the By -law. <br />Section 5.0: Zones and Zoning Maps <br />Section 5.0 establishes the zones, zone symbols and the zoning maps (Schedule A). Section <br />4.0 also provides provisions regarding the interpretation of the zoning maps, as well as holding <br />symbol (h) provisions. For convenience, each zone established in the By -law is given a zone <br />symbol, usually consisting of one or two capitalized letters and possibly a number, and written <br />with no spaces (e.g., R1 is the zone symbol for the Residential Type 1 zone). The zoning maps <br />illustrate the zoning of the Town by assigning zone symbols to delineated areas in the Town. <br />Town of Lakeshore Zoning By -law <br />Council Adopted I January 10, 2012 <br />
