2.29 DEVELOPMENT CONTROL

Drawings showing plan, elevation and cross-section views for each building to be erected, which drawings are sufficient to display:

2.30 LANDS ADJACENT TO LAKE ONTARIO AND BURLINGTON BAY

for lots located adjacent to the Lake Ontario and Burlington Bay shoreline, all buildings and structures shall maintain a 5 m side yard setback along one side lot line. This setback may be reduced to the side yard standard contained in the base zoning, provided that there is a municipal road with direct access to the shoreline, or there is a combined setback on two neighbouring properties totaling 5 m, and provided the approval of Conservation Halton is obtained;

except that, the following shall be exempt from these provisions:

• shoreline protection works
• docks
• waterfront trails
• archaeological restoration projects
• forest, wildlife and fisheries management projects
• storm water management and flood control projects

Where regulatory Flood Plain mapping has been prepared for watercourses in the City, the regulatory flood lines are shown conceptually on the maps contained in Part 15 of this By-law. These lines are intended for information and reference purposes, shall not constitute part of this By-law, and are subject to change from time to time without requiring a further amendment to this By-law. In addition to the provisions of their underlying zoning shown in this By-law, areas contained within these lines, among others, are also subject to the Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses regulations administered by Conservation Halton.

It is noted that all watercourses have a natural flood plain associated with them; however, Regulatory Flood Plain mapping has only been prepared for certain watercourses. Any works within or near a watercourse shall be reviewed by the City and Conservation Halton for flood plain hazard implications. Landowners are advised to contact Conservation Halton for accurate determination of the precise limits of the areas subject to the Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses regulations and for more detailed information concerning the administration of these regulations. As such, a permit may be required from Conservation Halton prior to development occurring.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this By-law, the Chief Building Official shall not issue a building permit under this by-law with respect to the lands in the City of Burlington defined by and subject to the Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulations, without the approval of Conservation Halton.
