4.2      Zoning and Overlay Boundaries

  1. Should uncertainty or dispute arise relative to the precise location of any  Zone boundary, as depicted on the Zoning Map, or Overlay boundary, as depicted on the Zoning Map, the location shall be determined by applying the following rules:

  2. where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following the centre of streets, Lanes or other public thoroughfares, it shall be deemed to follow the centre line thereof;

  3. where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following the boundary of a Site, the Site boundary shall be deemed to be the boundary of the Zone or Overlay;

  4. where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following city limits, it shall be deemed to be following city limits;

  5. where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following the centre of pipelines, railway lines, or utility easements, it shall be deemed to follow the centre line of the right-of-way thereof;

  6. where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following the edge or shore lines of the North Saskatchewan River, or other bodies of water, it shall be deemed to follow such lines, and in the event of change in such edge or shorelines, it shall be deemed as moving with the same;

  7. where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as being parallel to or as an extension of features noted above, it shall be so construed;

  8. where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following a topographic contour line or a top of bank line, it shall be deemed to follow such line, and in the event of change in such line, it shall be deemed as moving with that line;

  9. where features on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Zoning Map or map appended to an Overlay, or in other circumstances not mentioned above, the Development Officer shall interpret the Zone or Overlay boundaries. Any such decision shall be a Class B Discretionary Development; and

  10. where a Zone or Overlay boundary is not located in conformity to the provisions of subsections 4.2(1)(a) to (h), and in effect divides or splits a registered parcel of land, the disposition of such boundary shall be determined by dimensions indicated on the Zoning Map or map appended to an Overlay, or by measurements directly scaled from that Map.

Bylaw 16032

March 12, 2012

  1. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Bylaw, no Zone shall be deemed to apply to any public roadway and any public roadway may be designed, constructed, widened, altered, redesigned and maintained in such manner as may be determined by Transportation Services.

  2. Where any public roadway is closed pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Government Act, the land contained therein shall thereupon be deemed to carry the same Zone as the Abutting land, even where the Abutting land is designated as a Direct Control Provision.

  3. Where such Abutting lands are governed by different Zones, the centre line of the public roadway shall be deemed to be the Zone boundary.

  4. Where through the operation of subsection 4.3(2) the boundaries of a Direct Control Provision are extended to include a closed portion of public roadway, the Area of Application for the Direct Control Provision, as set out in the regulations governing that Zone boundary, which are within Part IV of this Bylaw, shall be automatically amended by the Development Officer to include, as part of the Area of Application, reference to the closed portion of public roadway which becomes part of the Direct Control Provision.
