Zoning

The Town of Pelham's Zoning Bylaw 1136 (1987) contains detailed information on what kind of land use and physical structures are allowed on each property in the town. The details includes items such as the height of buildings, number of metres a building must be set back from the street, and landscaping requirements, etc.

The Zoning Bylaw is legally enforceable. Land uses that do not meet the bylaw requirements are not allowed without an amendment or variance to the bylaw.

The Town of Pelham is continuing to prepare a new Comprehensive Zoning By-law. Click to view additional information and upcoming public information sessions here.  

The Zoning By-law is the Town’s primary tool to regulate the use of all land in the Town; it divides land into various zone categories (i.e. residential, commercial), and establishes what uses are permitted and where buildings can be located on a property. The new Zoning By-law is a hybrid model using contextual zoning primarily in the greenfield areas of the Town and more conventional zoning in the built-up, rural and agricultural areas of the Town. This hybrid model will permit more flexibility, and better represents current development trends and diversity of uses in the Town.
