The Township of Brock's Zoning By-law divides land in our community into categories that detail a property's permitted uses as well as regulatory and general provisions. The Chief Building Official cannot issue a building permit for a building or land use that does not conform to our Zoning By-law. Please see the Zoning By-law to learn more about the policies that direct our zoning.

Comprehensive Zoning By-law

You can view the text and maps of our Zoning By-law, which include amendments up to August 2019 below. This information is provided for the purposes of convenience only.  Contact us if you'd like to view the original by-law and its amendments, which are available in the Clerk's Office.  The development of structures within each zone category must follow our regulatory provisions, which include setbacks from lot lines, lot coverage, minimum gross floor area, open space, and more.

Some helpful tips for navigating the zoning by-law:

  • To find the zoning of your property, please view the "Plates" listed in the Maps section below.
  • To find the permitted uses within your zoning, please view Plate B - Permitted uses and activities
  • To find the provisions to locate a primary dwelling in your zone, please view Plate C - Regulatory Provisions for Residential Uses
  • To find the provisions for locating a non-residential building or use, please view Plate D - Regulatory Provisions for Non-Residential Uses and Activities 
  • To read about the provisions for an accessory building, please view Section 10.1 in  Section 10 - General Provisions
  • To read definitions of various terms, please view Sections 11, 12, 13

Plate D - Regulatory Provisions for Non-Residential Uses and Activities (please use this table to determine such information as setbacks and lot coverage etc. for NON RESIDENTIAL uses)
