Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review

The  Corporation  of  the  Township  of  The  Archipelago  has  initiated  a Review of its Comprehensive Zoning By-law pursuant to Section 34 of the Planning Act. The Comprehensive Zoning By-law is the primary implementation tool of the Township's Official Plan and is the legal document which regulates how land can be used, as well as the type, size and location of buildings and structures on properties.  The Township's current Comprehensive Zoning By-law was prepared in 2007 and is being reviewed to ensure it:

  • conforms to the recently updated Official Plan for the Township of The Archipelago;
  • is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and all provincial policies and regulations; and,
  • contains appropriate zoning and development standards.

J.L. Richards & Associates Limited has recently been retained by the Township to assist with the review of the Township’s Zoning By-law, and presented a background report and presentation at the June 20, 2025 Committee of the Whole Meeting.
