If a proposed use is not permitted in the zone for a property, or if the standards of that zone cannot be met by a proposed development, an application for a Zoning By-law amendment may be needed to change or amend the existing zoning. Any application to amend the zoning by-law must be considered in the context of the Official Plan policies for that zone. A Zoning By-law amendment is a By-law passed by Seguin Council.

Please note that Pre-consultation is highly recommended to help streamline the application process. Please request a pre-consultation through our Pre-consultation Request Form.

A review of an application and the circulation to other agencies would include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:

• conformity with the Official Plan,
• compatibility with surrounding land uses,
• impact on neighbours,
• affect on the natural environment including floodplains, wetlands, mineral aggregates, fish habitats
• visual impact,
• impact on roads,
• past decisions on similar matters.
