Zones in Warfield

From Zoning Bylaw No. 896, 2021 (consolidated for convenience, June 2024, including amendments up to Bylaw 959). Zoning amendment Bylaws 975 (map, 2025) and 979 (2025) are posted separately on the Village bylaws page and are not in this consolidation. In this bylaw zones are not written as separate sections. Each zone's uses are a column in Table 5-1 (pdf pages 49-51, lines 1984-2110), its dimensions a row in Table 6-1 (pdf pages 61-62, lines 2420-2560), and its intent a paragraph in s. 3.3 (the lines given below). CD1 and CD2 have extra requirements in ss. 3.4 and 3.5. Each zone has its own page with its uses, lot sizes, heights and setbacks. Zone pages are drafts taken from the bylaw text and not yet reviewed by a person.

How it works

The Village posts a Zoning Map (PDF) on its Zoning and Development and Maps pages. There is no online address search. Bylaw 975 replaced the map in the Zoning Bylaw with a Zoning Map dated August 2025 (adopted September 8, 2025), but the PDF linked on the website is named with a June 2024 date, so confirm your zone with the Village.

The Village of Warfield Zoning Bylaw No. 896, 2021 sets the rules. The Village's copy is consolidated for convenience to June 2024, including amendments up to Bylaw 959. Later changes are in Bylaw 975 (zoning map, September 2025) and Bylaw 979 (text, December 2025).
