How it works
A zoning search has two parts. The map identifies the district attached to a parcel. The written regulations explain what that district means for a proposed use, building size or location on the lot. The zone specifies permitted uses and regulates siting and height. In R1, the written schedule distinguishes front, rear and side setbacks.
Steps
- Start the parcel search with Bylaws, Policies, Mapping - New Denver. Search for the civic address, select the actual parcel and copy the complete zone code, including any suffix. For a parcel crossed by a zone line, identify where the proposed work would sit.
- Open the matching district or zone section. Read the permitted uses and the relevant dimensions together with definitions and any rules that apply across zones.
Good to know
- Contact the Village Office about planning documents or amendments at office@newdenver.ca.
- Save the address, zone code and relevant section with your sketch. Give those details to planning when asking about an amendment, a site-specific provision or a boundary that is hard to read.
- Read the applicable provisions in Village of New Denver Zoning Bylaw No. 612, 2007 (PDF).
