Zoning By-Law

What is the Zoning By-Law?

The Township of Russell Zoning By-law provides regulations that apply to the use and type of development of properties within the Township. It provides specific information with regard to, but not limited to:

• Zoning designations of properties;
• Permitted land uses;
• Minimum required lot frontage and lot area;
• Minimum required yard setbacks;
• Maximum building height;
• Parking requirements; etc.

The provisions within the Zoning By-law are based on the framework provided within the Township of Russell Official Plan. Read the webpage with information on our Official Plan.

In some cases, relief from the Zoning By-law may be sought through a minor variance or a Zoning By-law amendment.
