Zoning By‐law By‐law 1‐H 86, the County’s Comprehensive Zoning By‐law for the former Town of Haldimand (“the Zoning By‐law”), regulates the use of land within the urban area of Hagersville. The Zoning Bylaw was adopted by Council in 1986. The study area is principally zoned General Commercial (CG) in the Zoning By‐law. The General Commercial zone permits a broad range of uses, including retail and service commercial, personal service uses, and accommodations, residential units within commercial buildings, as well as some uses that are not necessarily supportive of a pedestrian‐oriented downtown, including automobile sales and service, service stations, and car washes. Source: “Haldimand County Streetscape Plan and Urban Design Guidelines”, Office for Urbanism, January 2010 The General Commercial zone generally does not encourage a traditional main street environment with buildings close to the street, primarily due to large front yard and exterior side yard setback requirements. These regulations include the following: • Min front yard: 6.0 metres • Min exterior side yard: 6.0 metres • Min interior side yard: Nil (3.5 metres from residential) • Min rear yard: 6.0 metres (Nil abutting parking) • Max building height: 11.0 metres • Max lot coverage: 80% The General Commercial zone within downtown Hagersville is encouraging the re‐use of existing buildings given it has an overlay zone that allows changing the use within an existing building without the need for additional parking requirements, provided no addition in floor space is made to the existing building and no reduction is made to the existing parking supplied by the building.

Sign By‐law The Haldimand County Sign By‐law, By‐law No. 1064/10 (“the Sign By‐law”), generally regulates the use and application of signs within the County. Within commercial areas, the Sign By‐law permits a broad range of sign types, several of which are conducive to a vibrant and interesting downtown environment, including wall, projecting, canopy, ground, and portable signs. The Sign By‐law does prohibit a number of sign types that tend to interfere with the scale and character of downtown commercial settings, including roof signs, animated signs and third party signs. In terms of regulations, the Sign By‐law provides the following: Sign type Maximum Area Maximum Height Other Regulations Wall 20% of building area n/a • Maximum 0.3 metres from wall • Not above 1 st storey • No third part advertising Projecting 1.0 metres 2 n/a • Encroachment agreement required • Minimum height 2.5 metre above finished grade • Liability agreement required Canopy 20% of canopy n/a • n/a Ground Portable 0.3 times street line length 0.6 metres on public 1.0 metre on private 7.5 metres • n/a 1.0 metres • No impact to pedestrian movements • Only during business hours • Only in front of business Hagersville Streetscape Plan Page 9

Zoning By‐law<br />
By‐law 1‐H 86, the County’s Comprehensive Zoning By‐law for the<br />
former Town of Haldimand (“the Zoning By‐law”), regulates the<br />
use of land within the urban area of <strong>Hagersville</strong>. The Zoning Bylaw<br />
was adopted by Council in 1986. The study area is principally<br />
zoned General Commercial (CG) in the Zoning By‐law. The<br />
General Commercial zone permits a broad range of uses, including<br />
retail and service commercial, personal service uses, and<br />
accommodations, residential units within commercial buildings, as<br />
well as some uses that are not necessarily supportive of a<br />
pedestrian‐oriented downtown, including automobile sales and<br />
service, service stations, and car washes.<br />

The General Commercial zone generally does not encourage a<br />
traditional main street environment with buildings close to the<br />
street, primarily due to large front yard and exterior side yard<br />
setback requirements. These regulations include the following:<br />
• Min front yard: 6.0 metres<br />
• Min exterior side yard: 6.0 metres<br />
• Min interior side yard: Nil (3.5 metres from residential)<br />
• Min rear yard: 6.0 metres (Nil abutting parking)<br />
• Max building height: 11.0 metres<br />
• Max lot coverage: 80%<br />
The General Commercial zone within downtown <strong>Hagersville</strong> is<br />
encouraging the re‐use of existing buildings given it has an overlay<br />
zone that allows changing the use within an existing building<br />
without the need for additional parking requirements, provided<br />
no addition in floor space is made to the existing building and no<br />
reduction is made to the existing parking supplied by the building.<br />
