LOTS REDUCED BY PUBLIC ACQUISITION
Where the area of a lot is reduced by means of an acquisition of part of

have a lot area, lot frontage, lot coverage, area of landscaped open space,
setback, front yard depth, side yard depth or rear yard depth that does not
conform to the requirements hereof for the zone in which such lot is
located, then nothing in this By-Law shall apply to prevent the continued
use of the lot as reduced as if no such acquisition had taken place,
provided that:

no change is made in the dimensions, area or any other
characteristics of the lot as reduced, subsequent to the date of such
acquisition, that would increase the extent of the said

lot is located.
(ii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph (i) of this
Clause, where a use or uses are permitted by the zones applying to
two or more portions of the lot, those portions shall be considered
to constitute a single lot as defined herein and the highest or most

BONUS PROVISION
Notwithstanding the density and height provisions which apply to a lot, the
maximum permitted density and/or height may be increased in accordance with
the provisions set out in this Section on having entered into a Bonusing
Agreement with the County. Notwithstanding the gross floor area and parking
requirements of the By-Law, calculations of floor area and parking may be
altered in accordance with the provisions of this Section on entering into a
Bonusing Agreement with the County. The cumulative impact of utilizing this
Section shall not result in a density more than twenty-five percent (25%) greater
than the density permitted by the non-bonused site.
(a)
For structures designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, or
for structures and/or districts identified as historically significant by the
County of Brant, in consideration for their designation under The Ontario
Heritage Act, a twenty-five percent (25%) increase in density may be
granted. Increased density may be achieved through an increase in
height of not greater than fifty percent (50%) for Medium Density
Residential Zones and twenty-five percent (25%) of that allowed under the
By-Law for other zones, and/or increased coverage and/or reduced
setbacks.
(b)
For every 100 square metres (1,076 sq. ft.) of public open space which is
dedicated to the County (in excess of the required parkland dedication and
any undevelopable flood plain lands), the density of the residential
development may be increased by one unit per hectare up to twenty-five
percent (25%) of the total number of units that would otherwise be
permitted by this By-Law.
(c)
Where day care facilities are provided within commercial or mixed-use
buildings having a gross floor area greater than 1858.0 square metres
(20,000 sq.ft.), the floor area devoted to the day care facilities shall not be
included in the floor area ratio, the maximum gross or gross leaseable

density and/or height and/or parking may be altered in accordance with
the provisions set out below on having entered into a Bonusing Agreement
with the County of Brant.

B.1
TEMPORARY USE ZONES
Where the zone symbol on Schedule “A” is preceded by a “T” and followed by a
date, such as T-A-1-8-1-2003, the “T” stands for a Temporary Zone as permitted
under Section 38 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13. When the time
period specified within the zone has passed and if an extension has not been
granted by Council, the property reverts to the base zone. In the example given,
the A-1 stands for the use permitted (two dwellings on a lot), and the 8-1-2003
stands for when the zone will cease to be in effect, with the order of the numbers
being the month, the day, and the year. Once the temporary time period has
lapsed, the base zone would then apply. In the example, given the base zone
would be Agricultural (A) Zone.
