City of Winnipeg Zoning By-law
” or the “
Winnipeg
Zoning By-law
.
Purpose
2. This By-law is intended to promote orderly and thoughtful development of real property and
development in the city, except for the part of the city governed by the

DEVELOPMENT TO COMPLY
Requirement for Compliance with By-law
6. (1) No development or use of land or a building may take place or be maintained except in
conformity with this By-law and with any development agreement, variance, conditional
use approval, condition or permit issued under this By-law.
2
The duty to comply with this
By-law is imposed on the owner of a parcel or a building and on any person who has
charge or control of the parcel or building, whether as lessee, tenant, occupier, agent or
otherwise. The City’s approval of a development application, the issuance of a permit,
the approval of drawings and specifications, or completion of inspections does not relieve
a person from the responsibility to comply with this By-law or any other by-law.
(2) The Director may, upon receipt of such proof as the Director deems necessary, issue a
Zoning Compliance Certificate in respect of a zoning lot confirming any one or more of
the following as of the date of that certificate:
(a) that the described use or uses operated or proposed to be operated on the lot
comply with the applicable zoning rules, agreements and orders;
(b) that the development on the lot complies with all zoning rules, agreements and
orders affecting it; and
(c) that the location of the building or buildings on the lot complies with the
applicable zoning rules, agreements and order (Zoning Memorandum).
(3) A request for a Zoning Memorandum shall be accompanied by a Building Location
Certificate confirming the location of the building or buildings on a zoning lot.
Conflicting or Overlapping Provisions
7. If two or more provisions of this By-law contain conflicting or overlapping provisions, the most
restrictive or highest standard is applicable, except that if the provisions of a zoning district
conflict with the provisions of an overlay district as defined in section 57,
Planned Development
Overlay Districts,
as they relate to the same parcel of land, the provisions of the overlay zoning
district are applicable.
Development Permit Required
8. (1) No person shall undertake or permit the existence of a development that is subject to
this By-law without first
making application and obtaining a development permit for that
purpose except for the following:
(a) subject to subsection 8(2), single level decks 24 inches or less in height above
grade located in a side or rear yard of a single family or two-family dwelling;
2
NOTE:
The City of Winnipeg Charter
defines “building” as “a well, pipe line, conduit, cut, excavation, fill, transmission line and any
structure or erection, and any part of any of those things, and also includes an addition to or extension of any building or any of
those things and a chattel that is attached to, or installed in or on, any building or any of those things.
The City of Winnipeg
Charter
defines “development” to be “the construction of a building or structure on, over or under land, a change in the use or
intensity of use of a building or land, the removal of soil or vegetation from land, the deposit or stockpiling of soil or material on
land, or the excavation of land.”

Director and shall be accompanied by the applicable fee specified in the
Planning
Development and Building Fees By-law
.
(5) A development permit shall expire and the right of an owner under that permit shall

shown on the Zoning Maps in Schedule B.
Urban Infill Areas Maps
10. While newer portions of the city have been divided or can be divided into parcels that are of
adequate size and shape to accommodate the general standards of this By-law related to
required on-site parking and landscaping, some older portions of the city have been divided into
parcels that are too small or shallow to accommodate such parking and landscaping. In order to
promote infill redevelopment in older portions of the city, the City of Winnipeg hereby provides
for the establishment of Urban Infill Areas. Urban Infill standards described in Part 5,
Development and Design Standards, of this By-law apply to commercial and institutional and
manufacturing zone districts located within that area designated on the Urban Infill Areas Maps in
Schedule C to this By-law. The location and boundaries of the Urban Infill Areas provided for in
Part 3 are hereby established as shown on the Urban Infill Areas Maps in Schedule C.
Interpretation of Zoning District and Urban Infill Areas Boundaries
11. The following rules apply in the interpretation and application of the Zoning Maps, Schedule B,
and the Urban Infill Areas Maps, Schedule C:
(1) Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centre lines of streets, public lanes,
footpaths, public walks, rivers, and public rights-of-way are construed to follow such
centre lines.
(2) Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot or holding lines on a registered plan
are construed as following such lot or holding lines.
(3) Boundaries indicated as approximately following city, community or municipal limits are
construed as following the city, community or municipal limits.
(4) Boundaries indicated as following a railway right-of-way or a public utility right-of-way
are construed as following the centre line of the right-of-way unless clearly designated
otherwise.
(5) Boundaries indicated as following the shorelines of streams or rivers are construed as
following the centre line of such streams or rivers.
(6) If a street, public lane, footpath, or public walk shown on the Zoning Maps is lawfully
closed, the land formerly comprising it shall be included within the zoning district within
which it is located. If the centre line of said closed right-of-way was a zoning district
boundary between two or more different zoning districts, the zoning district boundary
shall continue to be the former centre line.

PROTECTED NON-CONFORMITIES
Purpose of This Division
21. The provisions of this division are intended to supplement those provisions addressing non-
conformities in
The City of Winnipeg Charter
. It provides extended protection to certain uses and
buildings that would otherwise be legal non-conformities under
The City of Winnipeg Charter
.
Protected Uses
22. No use that lawfully exists on the effective date of this By-law is non-conforming solely because:
(1) When it was established no conditional use approval was required and under this By-law
conditional use approval is required; or
(2) It exists with less than the accessory off-street parking or loading spaces required by this
By-law; or
(3) It exists with a non-conforming accessory sign.
Prior Non-conformities Continue
23. A protected non-conformity that existed prior to the effective date of this By-law remains a
protected non-conformity for the purposes of this By-law unless it complies with this By-law.
The intent of this By-law is to permit a non-conformity to continue until it is removed but not to
encourage its survival.
Structural Alterations
24. A building devoted to a non-conforming use may be structurally altered:
(1) To comply with a legal requirement;
(2) To accommodate a conforming use;
(3) To conform to the development standards of Part 5; or
Part 1: Administration
Protected Non-Conformities
Repair or Incidental Alterations to a Non-Conforming Use
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 7
(4) In the course of an enlargement permitted in accordance with section 26,
Expansion of
Non-Conforming Use
.
Repair or Incidental Alterations to a Non-Conforming Use
25. Repairs or incidental alterations to a building occupied by a non-conforming use may be made as
follows:
(1) To the exterior of the building; and
(2) To those portions of the interior of the building occupied by the non-conforming use, or
in connection with an expansion of the non-conforming use permitted in accordance with
section 26,
Expansion of Non-Conforming Use
.
Expansion of Non-Conforming Use
26. A non-conforming use may be enlarged if:
(1) It is a single-family or two-family dwelling and the enlargement conforms to the
applicable district dimensional standards; or
(2) The enlargement is required to comply with the provisions of this By-law related to off-
street parking or loading spaces.
Non-Conforming Use Discontinued for 12 Months
27. A non-conforming use of a structure or of a parcel of land, or portion thereof, which is, or
hereafter becomes, abandoned, vacant or unoccupied, and remains vacant and unoccupied for
twelve consecutive months, shall not thereafter be occupied or used except for a use which
conforms to the applicable district regulations. For the purpose of this Part, the stock in trade
within the structure or on the land shall not in itself constitute a use thereof, nor shall the
occasion or partial operation of such equipment or the presence of any stock in trade in itself
constitute a use of any structure or parcel of land.
Accessory Uses
28. A use that is accessory to a principal non-conforming use may continue as long as the principal
use exists.
Repairs or Incidental Alterations to Non-Conforming Structure
29. Repairs or incidental alterations may be made to a non-conforming structure.
30. If a non-conforming building is damaged to the extent of 50 percent or less of the value of an
equivalent new building, repairs or restoration that result in any non-conformity with the
regulations for the district where it is located may be made if a building permit is obtained within
180 days of the date of damage, and restoration is actually begun within one year and is
diligently pursued to completion. The determination of the reduced structural valuation will be
made by the City, or, at the applicant's option, by a certified independent appraiser.
Expansion of Non-Conforming Structure
31. A non-conforming structure may be enlarged or extended, provided that the use of the structure
conforms with the regulations of the applicable zoning district and the enlargement or extension
would not create a new non-conformity or increase the degree of non-conformity. The addition
or enlargement shall conform to all the applicable zoning district dimensional standards in which
the non-conforming structure is located.

Effects of Public Land Acquisition
Damage to a Non-conforming Structure
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 8
Damage to a Non-conforming Structure
32. The right to maintain a non-conforming structure shall terminate when;
(1) The structure is damaged, in any manner whatsoever, to the extent the cost of repairing
such damage exceeds one hundred percent (100%) of the structure’s assessed value on
the last revised assessment roll; or
(2) The structure has been abandoned and/or deteriorated from natural causes to the extent
that the cost of repair or renovation would exceed one hundred percent (100%) of its
assessed value on the last revised assessment roll.
Lots of Record
33. No structure may be erected on a lot of record unless:
(1) The parcel of land was on record in the Winnipeg Land Titles Office prior to the effective
date of this By-law, or amendments thereto, and did not form part of a larger contiguous
holding under the same ownership;
(2) The parcel of land is in separate ownership and is not part of a continuous frontage with
other parcels of land of the same ownership; and
(3) The yards are provided as set forth in the dimensional standards table of the district in
which the parcel of land is located, except that where width is a factor of the non-
compliance, the side yards may be reduced to 10 percent of the width of the lot but shall
not be less than 3 feet.
Non-conforming Signs
34. A non-conforming sign may be structurally altered, reconstructed, or replaced in the same
location and position in any way that does not change the size, height, or degree of illumination
of the sign, and does not create a new non-conformity or increase an existing non-conformity.
EFFECTS OF PUBLIC LAND ACQUISITION
35. The following applies to lots created by public land acquisition:
(1) If a lot is separated from the street upon which it would otherwise front by a parcel
acquired by the City for the purpose of street-widening, the lot is deemed to have
frontage on that street and a building or structure may be erected, or enlarged, altered
or repaired and used on such lot provided that it conforms to all other requirements of
this By-law.
(2) If a lot having a lesser width and/or area than that required by this By-law is created by
expropriation or street-widening or other land acquisition from the owner of the lot by
the City and the non-conformity is due to no other cause, the lot is deemed to comply
with this By-law and a building or structure may be erected, altered or repaired and used
on the lot provided that it conforms to all other requirements of this By-law.
(3) If a building or structure having lesser yards than those required by this By-law is
created in the manner described in subsection (2), the building or structure is deemed to
comply with this By-law and may:

(a) be maintained, altered or repaired and used, provided that it conforms to all
other requirements of this By-law; and
(b) be enlarged, provided that a substandard yard is not further decreased.
VARIANCE ORDERS
36. Where an owner requests a Variance Order from the provisions of this By-law, the person or
body with the authority to approve a variance must not grant a Variance Order unless in the
opinion of the person or body, the provisions of this By-law have an injurious effect on the
owner’s property. For purposes of this determination, injurious effects includes physical
characteristics of the owner’s site that make it difficult or impossible to comply with the
provisions of this By-law, but does not include conditions created by the owner or conditions
generally shared with other properties in the same area. Without restricting the generality of the
foregoing, only the provisions of Parts 4 and 5 may be the subject of a Variance Order.

Rules of Measurement
47. The following rules of measurement apply to the text of this By-law:
Building Height
(1) Building height is measured as the vertical distance from grade to:
(a) the highest point of the roof surface of a flat roof or a shanty roof; or
(b) to the deck of a mansard roof; or
(c) to the mean height level between the eaves and ridge of a gable, hip or gambrel
roof.
(2) Where the slope of a gable, gambrel, or hip roof, or any portion of such roof is less than
1:3 (rise:run), the building height is measured as though the roof were flat.
Part 2: Definitions
Definitions
Rules of Measurement
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 12
(3) Where a roof contains multiple gables, multiple ridgelines, or multiple flat surfaces, or a
combination of those features, the measurement is made pursuant to the provisions of
subsection (1) above as they apply to that portion of the roof resulting in the highest
measurement. (See Illustration 1.)
Illustration 1: Building Height
Height (a) indicates measurement for flat or shanty roof; height (b) indicates measurement for a
mansard roof; and, height (c) indicates measurement for a gable or hipped roof at the mean level
between ridge and eave. Overall height for the structure is determined based on the highest of
the various measurements - in this case, height (b).
Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
(4) Floor area ratio (FAR) is measured as the gross floor area of all buildings on a lot or
parcel, divided by the lot area, except that such floor area does not include any area
used for parking within the principal building and does not include any area used for
incidental service storage, installations of mechanical equipment, penthouses housing
ventilators and heating systems, and similar uses. (See Illustration 2.)
Illustration 2: Floor Area Ratio
In this illustration, a floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.0 is depicted in three ways: a single-storey building
occupying the entire lot; a two-storey building occupying one-half the lot; and, a 4-storey building
occupying one-quarter of the lot. In each case, the total floor area is equal to the lot size.
Lot Area
(5) Lot area is measured as the amount of gross land area contained within the property
lines of a lot or parcel.
Part 2: Definitions
Definitions
Rules of Measurement
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 13
Lot Coverage
(6) Lot coverage is measured as the percentage of the total lot area covered by buildings. It
is calculated by dividing the square footage of building cover by the square footage of
the lot, except that the following structures are not counted as covered areas for
purposes of determining lot coverage:
(a) areas covered by open swimming pools and hot tubs;
(b) open decks, landings, and stairs less than 4 feet above grade (See Illustration
3.);
(c) accessory structures with a cumulative lot coverage under 108 square feet in
total area; and
(d) any permitted projections.
Illustration 3: Lot Coverage
Lot coverage is the ratio between the total area covered by buildings and the lot size. In this example, the
uncovered deck (less than 4 feet above grade) would not count as building cover. The building footprint
(shown as shaded in the plan view) divided by the lot size would determine lot coverage.
Lot Depth
(7) Lot depth is the depth of a lot from the street, measured as the horizontal distance
between the centre points in the front and rear lot lines, and generally equal to the
horizontal length of the lot depth line. In the case of a flag lot, the lot depth is measured

Relationship to Overlay Districts
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 45
Relationship to Overlay Districts
51. All lands within the city must be designated by the City as one of the base zoning districts set
forth in Table 3-1. In addition, some lands may be designated as one or more of the overlay
districts set forth in section 57,
Planned Development Overlay Districts
. Where the City
designates a property as an overlay district as well as a base zoning district, the regulations
governing development in the overlay district apply in addition to the regulations governing
development in the underlying base district. In the event of a conflict between the two sets of
standards, the standards for the overlay district control, regardless of whether other regulations
in this By-law are more restrictive.
District Descriptions
52. The descriptions of districts contained in this Part are intended to assist in selecting the
appropriate zoning district for different types of land, and to assist in identifying the intended
character of each district. When there is a conflict between any statement in the district
description and a substantive requirement in other sections of this By-law, the substantive
requirements in other sections apply. In no case may a district description be interpreted to
require performance levels beyond the substantive requirements of this By-law.
AGRICULTURAL AND PARK DISTRICTS
General Purposes of All Agricultural and Park Districts
53. (1) The agricultural and park districts contained in this section are intended to:
(a) provide rural and open land for agricultural purposes until such time as it is
required for future urban development; and
(b) provide lands for active and passive recreation needs for all citizens.
Specific Purposes of Individual Agricultural and Park Districts
Agricultural (A)
(2) The Agricultural (A) district is intended for general agricultural activities.
Parks and Recreation 1 (PR1) (Neighbourhood)
(3) The Parks and Recreation 1 (PR1) district is intended for sites that are generally passive
neighbourhood and community parks and facilities with predominantly pedestrian and
cyclist access. These sites may provide unstructured drop-in play and recreation
opportunities, including play structures, passive parks, plazas and natural areas.
Generally, there are no parking facilities associated with these uses. These parks and
open spaces typically occur in a residential neighbourhood or riverbank context and are
generally accessed by residential streets.
Parks and Recreation 2 (PR2) (Community)
(4) The Parks and Recreation 2 (PR2) district is intended for sites that include community
recreation facilities and parks that are accessed by a mix of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic. These sites may provide active programs and activities, including community
centres, hockey pens, arenas, indoor soccer, wading pools, spray parks, skateboard
parks and athletic fields. Parking facilities ranging from 10 to 100 stalls may be
associated with these uses. These parks and facilities typically occur along collector
streets.
Part 3: Zoning Districts
Residential Districts
General Purposes of All Residential Districts
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 46
Parks and Recreation 3 (PR3) (Regional)
(5) The Parks and Recreation 3 (PR3) district is intended for sites that include major
recreation facilities and parks that are a regional destination. These sites may include
major recreation facilities, aquatic leisure centres, regional parks, sport multi-plexes and
athletic field developments. Parking facilities ranging from 100 to 300+ stalls may be
associated with these uses. These facilities are typically found along major arterials.
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
General Purposes of All Residential Districts
54. (1) The residential zoning districts contained in this section are intended to:
(a) provide appropriately located areas for residential development that are
consistent with
Plan Winnipeg
and with standards for public health, safety, and
general welfare;
(b) allow for a variety of housing types and community amenities that meet the
diverse physical, economic, and social needs of residents; and
(c) respect the scale and character of existing residential neighbourhoods and
surrounding areas.
Specific Purposes of Individual Residential Districts
Rural Residential 5 (RR5)
(2) The Rural Residential 5 (RR5) district is intended to provide areas for large-lot rural
residential development, along with limited agricultural uses.
Rural Residential 2 (RR2)
(3) The Rural Residential 2 (RR2) district is intended to provide for large-lot rural residential
development.
Residential Single-Family (R1)
(4) The Residential Single-Family (R1) district is intended to accommodate primarily single-
family residential development in lower-density neighbourhoods.
Residential Two-Family (R2)
(5) The Residential Two-Family (R2) district is intended to accommodate the development of
single- and two-family units and where appropriate limited multi-family units in lower-
density neighbourhoods. Residential units are permitted at densities as set out in Part 5.
Residential Multi-Family (RMF)
(6) The Residential Multi-Family (RMF) district is intended to accommodate the development
of multi-family units in neighbourhoods with medium to high residential densities.
Residential units are permitted at densities as set out in Part 5.
Part 3: Zoning Districts
Commercial and Institutional Districts
General Purposes of All Commercial and Institutional Districts
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 47
Residential Mixed Use (RMU)
(7) The Residential Mixed Use (RMU) district is intended to facilitate the development of
primarily medium- to higher-density residential development, though it also may contain
limited small-scale commercial, institutional, recreational, and service facilities needed to
support residential development. The area, site, or building should retain a
predominantly residential character. Development in the RMU district should facilitate
and encourage pedestrian travel between residential and nonresidential uses. This
district is often adjacent and incidental to a town centre, neighbourhood commercial
centre, or other type of mixed use or major employment centre.
Residential Mobile Home Park (RMH)
(8) The Residential Mobile Home Park (RMH) district is intended to provide areas for the
location of mobile homes. All provisions of this By-law apply to the RMH zoning district
unless superseded by the district-specific standards in Part 5.
COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICTS
General Purposes of All Commercial and Institutional Districts
55. (1) The commercial and institutional zoning districts contained in this section generally are
intended to:
(a) provide appropriately located areas consistent with
Plan Winnipeg
for retail,
service, office, and institutional uses.
(b) provide adequate space and locations to meet the needs of commercial
development.
(c) ensure that the appearance of commercial buildings and lands are of high quality
and are harmonious with the character of the area in which they are located.
Specific Purposes of Individual Commercial and Institutional Districts
Commercial Neighbourhood (C1)
(2) The Commercial Neighbourhood (C1) district is intended to accommodate small, compact
commercial uses within or surrounded by residential areas that are attractive and
compatible in scale and character with surrounding residential uses, to serve the
convenience needs of the surrounding neighbourhood. This district is not intended to
accommodate businesses sized or designed to serve a trade area more than one-half
mile from the business. C1 districts are generally located along local streets or at
local/collector intersections.
Commercial Community (C2)
(3) The Commercial Community (C2) district is intended to accommodate more intensive
commercial sites that do not have a local or neighbourhood orientation. The district is
intended to include attractive commercial, institutional, recreational, and service facilities
needed to support the surrounding neighbourhoods and the broader community. C2
districts are generally located along collector streets, at arterial/collector intersections, or
along portions of arterial streets with relatively shallow lots.
Part 3: Zoning Districts
Commercial and Institutional Districts
Specific Purposes of Individual Commercial and Institutional Districts
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 48
Commercial Corridor (C3)
(4) The Commercial Corridor (C3) district is intended primarily for uses that provide
commercial goods and services to residents of the community in areas that are
dependent on automobile access and exposed to heavy automobile traffic, but not
including regional shopping malls or regional shopping areas. These commercial uses are
subject to frequent view by the public and visitors to Winnipeg, and they should provide
an attractive appearance with landscaping, sufficient parking, and controlled traffic
movement. C3 districts are generally located along portions of arterial streets where lot
depths are 200 feet or greater, or at arterial/arterial intersections.
Commercial Regional (C4)
(5) The Commercial Regional (C4) district is intended to accommodate the development of
large-scale, distinctive and attractive regional centres containing a mix of concentrated
land uses. These commercial uses are subject to frequent view by the public and visitors
to Winnipeg, and they should provide an attractive appearance with landscaping,
sufficient parking, and controlled traffic movement. The centre should provide
commercial, office, institutional, and residential uses and structures at higher intensities
than surrounding areas. The area may also contain concentrations of medium- to high-
density office development, as well as a broad mix of complementary uses, which may
include major civic and public facilities and parks. The district may contain multi-family
housing, and development should facilitate and encourage pedestrian travel between
residential and nonresidential uses. These areas are generally associated with the Areas
of Regional Commercial and Mixed Use Concentration identified in
Plan Winnipeg
.
Commercial Mixed Use (CMU)
(6) The Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) district is intended to provide for community-serving
mixed use development at a higher scale than is appropriate for neighbourhood
locations. The CMU district is intended for use along selected corridors and at important
nodes in the city. The district is intended to include attractive commercial, institutional,
recreational, and service facilities needed to support surrounding neighbourhoods and
the community at-large. Although the area, site, or building should have a
predominantly commercial character, multi-family housing may be incorporated within
the district, and development should facilitate pedestrian connections between residential
and nonresidential uses.
Educational and Institutional (EI)
(7) The Educational and Institutional (EI) district is intended to provide areas for the
development of large and significant, multi-building, public, quasi-public, or private
facilities of a non-commercial character that may have significant impacts on the
surrounding areas. Typical uses may include places of worship, schools, colleges and
universities, libraries, cultural facilities, hospitals, and large research facilities as well as
supporting residential uses. Attractive, campus-style development is encouraged within
this district. In some cases, EI zoning may be appropriate for clustered or core facilities,
while supporting facilities on non-contiguous lots remain in other zoning districts.
Commercial or non-commercial uses that support the function of the facility or its
population would be considered as accessory uses.
Part 3: Zoning Districts
Manufacturing Districts
General Purposes of All Manufacturing Districts
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 49
MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS
General Purposes of All Manufacturing Districts
56. (1) The manufacturing zoning districts established in this section generally are intended to:
(a) provide appropriately located areas consistent with
Plan Winnipeg
for industrial
and employment purposes, and limit non-industrial uses that may erode the
supply of industrial lands that are well-located and serviced to accommodate
industrial development; and
(b) ensure that the appearance of industrial buildings and lands are of high quality
and are compatible with the area in which they are located.
Specific Purposes of Individual Manufacturing Districts
Manufacturing Mixed Use (MMU)
(2) The Manufacturing Mixed Use (MMU) district is intended to provide linked commercial
and industrial activities that are supportive of industrial functions and are compatible with
surrounding industrial use areas, while allowing more flexibility of uses and requiring a
higher standard of landscaping and design. Uses may include offices, wholesale and
business service establishments, campus-style industrial or business parks, and limited
retail/personal service storefronts. Supportive retail development, not including offices,
would be allowed to a maximum of 35% of site area including any land needed by the
supportive retail to satisfy parking requirements, yards/setbacks and development and
design standards (e.g., landscaping). During build out, supportive retail shall not exceed
50% of built site area. MMU zone districts should generally include at least thirty-five
(35) acres of contiguous land, or land that would be contiguous except for intervening
rights-of-way.
Manufacturing Light (M1)
(3) The Manufacturing Light (M1) district is intended to provide for light manufacturing,
processing, service, storage, wholesale, and distribution operations with all operations
contained within an enclosed building with some limited outside storage.
Manufacturing General (M2)
(4) The Manufacturing General (M2) district is intended to provide for light manufacturing,
processing, service, storage, wholesale, and distribution operations, with some limited
outside operations and storage.
Manufacturing Heavy (M3)
(5) The Manufacturing Heavy (M3) district is intended to provide for light or heavy industrial
development, including heavy manufacturing, storage, major freight terminals, waste and
salvage, resource extraction, processing, transportation, major utilities, and other related
uses, particularly those that require very large buildings, frequent heavy truck traffic for
supplies or shipments, or that may require substantial mitigation to avoid sound, noise,
and odour impacts to neighbouring properties. New M3 zone districts should not be
established within 300 feet of an existing residential zone district.
Part 3: Zoning Districts
Planned Development Overlay Districts
Planned Development Overlay - 1 (PDO-1) (District)
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 50
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICTS
57. The following overlay zoning districts are hereby established by the City, and each such district is
intended for the purposes described below.
Planned Development Overlay - 1 (PDO-1) (District)
Purpose
(1) The purpose of the Planned Development Overlay 1 (PDO-1) overlay district is to provide
a means to alter or specify allowed uses and/or development standards in otherwise
appropriate zones, in unique or special circumstances, in order to achieve local planning
objectives in specially designated areas. A PDO-1 zoning district is appropriate when
additional zoning controls are required to address an area-wide (rather than site-specific)
condition, or to implement an area-wide plan for the proposed district. PDO-1 districts
are generally appropriate for areas with unique or special circumstances containing 10 or
more parcels or containing 25 acres or more in area.
Eligibility
(2) The PDO-1 overlay must only be applied to zones where specified through an
amendment to the Zoning By-law. Such amendment must include:
(a) a map of the location(s) of any neighbourhood(s) affected by the overlay at an
appropriate scale indicating the designation, location, and boundaries of each
underlying zoning district;
(b) the name and boundaries of any List of Adopted Secondary Plans applicable to
the area covered by the PDO-1 designation; and
(c) every regulation specified or changed by the PDO-1 overlay.
Criteria
(3) The PDO-1 overlay must meet criteria in subsection 57(1) and:
(a) the proposed development rules are to implement an adopted Secondary Plan or
an area-wide plan; or
(b) the proposed development rules apply to land in more than one underlying base
zoning district; and
(c) the proposed development rules are unique to the proposed area, and are not
likely to be used in other areas of the City without significant changes; and
(d) the proposed development rules contain relatively minor changes to the
permitted and conditional uses in the underlying zoning district and/or minor
changes to permitted dimensional standards applicable to the underlying zoning
district.
(4) The PDO-1 overlay may not be used:
(a) in conjunction with a PDO-2 overlay district;
(b) to add to the list of permitted or conditional uses or increase density;
Part 3: Zoning Districts
Planned Development Overlay Districts
Planned Development Overlay - 1 (PDO-1) (District)
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 51
(c) to allow more than one single-family detached dwelling on a lot; or
(d) where the proposed changes to the regulations of the underlying zoning district:
(i) are significant enough to be inconsistent with the general purpose of
that zoning district and the designation of another zone would be more
appropriate;
(ii) are not merely related to local planning objectives but would have
significant general application to warrant an amendment to the text of
the underlying zoning district itself; or
(iii) are intended to provide such detailed or site-specific control over the
design and siting of development that the use of the PDO-2 district
would be more appropriate.
Uses
(5) The permitted uses specified in the underlying zones are permitted and the conditional
uses specified in the underlying zones are conditional, unless the development
regulations adopted in the PDO-1 district state otherwise.
Development Regulations
(6) The regulations provided in the PDO-1 district may be substituted for the specified
regulations of the underlying zone. Where there is a conflict between the provisions of
the PDO-1 district and those of the underlying zone, the provisions of the PDO-1 govern.
(7) Notwithstanding subsection (6) above, where there is a conflict between the provisions
of the Airport Vicinity Protection Area Overlay District and any PDO-1 overlay district, the
provisions of the Airport Vicinity Protection Area Overlay District govern.
(8) The PDO-1 may change or specify regulations and submission requirements, as provided
below, and may specify the conditions under which such changed or specified regulations
would apply:
(a) the total residential density;
(b) site dimensions and area;
(c) building height;
(d) size and floor area ratio for each use category and use type;
(e) yard requirements;
(f) separation spaces;
(g) parking requirements for each use category or use type;
(h) architectural and site design requirements;
(i) performance criteria;
Part 3: Zoning Districts
Planned Development Overlay Districts
Planned Development Overlay - 2 (PDO-2) (Site-Specific)
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 52
(j) landscaping requirements;
(k) regulations pertaining to accessory structures;
(l) signage requirements; and
(m) environmental regulations, which may include such things as flood proofing,
noise attenuation, and servicing requirements.
Effect of Approval
(9) All regulations in the
Zoning By-law
must apply to development in the area covered by
the adopted PDO-1 overlay, unless the PDO-1 By-law specifically modifies those
regulations.
Adopted PDO-1 Districts
(10) All adopted PDO-1 districts are contained in the attached schedules which form part of
this By-law.
Planned Development Overlay - 2 (PDO-2) (Site-Specific)
Purpose
(11) The purpose of the Planned Development Overlay 2 (PDO-2) overlay district is to provide
for site-specific control over an individual proposed development, in unique or special
circumstances, where any other zone would be inappropriate or inadequate. A PDO-2
district is appropriate when the proposed development regulations do not relate to an
area-wide condition or the implementation of an area-wide Secondary Plan, but are
specific to the lot(s) or parcel(s) proposed for the PDO-2 zoning. PDO-2 districts are
appropriate for areas with unique or special site characteristics containing fewer than 10
parcels and a total land area of 25 acres or less.
Eligibility
(12) This PDO-2 overlay must only be applied to a site to regulate a specific proposed
development under the following circumstances:
(a) the proposed development exceeds the development provisions of the closest
equivalent conventional zoning district.
(b) the proposed development requires specific regulations to ensure land use
conflicts with neighbouring properties are minimized.
(c) the site for the proposed development has unique characteristics that require
specific regulations.
(d) the ongoing operation of the proposed development requires specific regulations.
Criteria
(13) The PDO-2 must meet criteria in subsection 57(11) and:
(a) the proposed development rules are intended to apply to a contiguous area of
land in single ownership or control, or under multiple ownership and control if
Part 3: Zoning Districts
Planned Development Overlay Districts
Planned Development Overlay - 2 (PDO-2) (Site-Specific)
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 53
each of the ownership units has requested to be subject to the proposed
development rules; and
(b) the proposed development rules are unique to the proposed development area,
and are not likely to be used in other areas of the City without significant
changes; and
(c) the proposed development rules contain relatively minor changes to the
permitted and conditional uses in the underlying zoning district and/or minor
changes to permitted dimensional standards applicable to the underlying zoning
district.
Procedural Requirements
(14) The procedures for creation of a PDO-2 overlay district are set forth in the
Development
Procedures By-law
.
Effect of Approval
(15) All development in the site covered by the adopted PDO-2 overlay must be in accordance
with the approved site plan and other materials provided with the application.
(16) All regulations in the Zoning By-law must apply to development in the site covered by the
adopted PDO-2 overlay, unless such regulations are specifically excluded or modified by
the PDO-2 By-law.
(17) Notwithstanding subsection (16) above, where there is a conflict between the provisions
of the Airport Vicinity Protection Area Overlay District and any PDO-2 overlay district, the
provisions of the Airport Vicinity Protection Area Overlay District govern.

TABLE ORGANIZATION
60. In Table 4-1, Table 4-2, and Table 4-3, land uses and activities are classified into general “use
categories” and specific “use types” based on common functional or physical impact
characteristics, such as the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how
goods or services are sold or delivered, and site conditions. This classification provides a
systematic basis for assigning present and future land uses into appropriate zoning districts. This
classification does not list every use or activity that may appropriately exist within the categories
and specific uses may be listed in one category when they may reasonably have been listed in
one or more other categories. The use category titles are intended merely as an indexing tool
and are not exhaustive and do not form part of the by-law:
Use Categories and Use Sub-Categories
(1) The following provides a description of the Use Category and Use Sub-Categories found
in Table 4-1: Principal Use Table.
accommodations uses means a subcategory of uses including facilities where lodging and
ancillary activities are provided to transient visitors and guests for a defined period.

purposes including farming, dairying, pasturage, apiculture, horticulture, floriculture, viticulture,
and animal and poultry husbandry. Accessory uses may include dwellings for employees, barns,
storage of grain, animal raising, feed preparation, and wholesale sales of products produced on-
site.
animal sales and service uses means a subcategory of uses involving the selling, boarding, or
care of animals on a commercial basis. Accessory uses may include confinement facilities for
animals, parking, and storage areas.
commercial sales and service uses means a category of uses primarily associated with the

Special Boundary Conditions
138. (1) If an undeveloped parcel of land is located in the R1 or R2 zoning districts, or proposed
for rezoning to the R1 or R2 zoning districts, and abuts an existing R1 or R2 zoning
district, or is separated from an R1 or R2 zoning district by a street right-of-way, railroad
right-of-way, or waterway, the undeveloped parcel must not be subdivided unless the
width/square footage of the proposed lot(s) within 200 feet (measured from the edges of
the proposed subdivision) of the adjacent R1 or R2 zoning district is not less than the
average lot width/square footage of existing developed lots in residential use in the
adjacent R1 or R2 areas along such shared boundary, but in no case may be less than 35
feet.
(2) Other lots proposed to be created within the undeveloped parcel must comply with Table
5-2. (Illustration 10 provides an example of this requirement.)

139. Where a new single-family or two-family dwelling or addition to a dwelling is proposed within a
street block or a portion of a street block where at least 80 percent of the lots have been
developed with principal residential structures, and the front yard required by Table 5-2 is
inconsistent with the majority of existing front yards for developed single- and two-family
dwellings on the street block, the new structure must be developed with a front yard consistent
with the average of the existing front yards within that block or portion of the block. In the case

STREET
Illustration 11: Front Yard Building Alignments
In this example, lots “B” through “F” are included in the street block for purposes of measuring front yard
building alignments. Lot “A” is not included, as the front of this lot is on a different street. Setback
averaging is measured to the bulk of the buildings (shaded areas) and does not include porches
(unshaded).
The minimum required front yard setback in this example is 25 feet. An addition to the front of lot “E”
would require the averaging of the setbacks of lots “D” and “F”, the two closest buildings on the same block
face. In this example the resulting setback would be 20 feet - the average of lot “D” (15 feet) and lot “F”
(25 feet). An addition to the front of lot “F” would be based on the average of the two closest buildings on
the same block face; in this case, lots “D” and “E” or the average of all the lots facing the same street (“B”
through “F”).
Alternative Development Patterns
140. (1) As an alternative to organizing each single-family lot with separate access to a public
street, the owner of land in the R1 or R2 zoning districts may develop an auto court
pursuant to the standards in subsection (2) below or a loop lane pursuant to the
standards in subsection (3) below. An owner may only create flag lots pursuant to the
standards in subsection (4) below. All dimensional standards in Table 5-2 continue to
apply unless modified by the standards in subsections (2) through (4) below.
Bare Land Condominium - Auto Courts
(2) Up to 4 single-family dwelling units may share a single driveway access to a public street
through the use of an auto court layout (see Illustration 12) that complies with the
following conditions:
(a) the minimum width of the surface of an auto court must be 20 feet;
(b) shared driveways must be surfaced with concrete, asphalt, or paving stone, or a
combination of those materials;
Part 5: Development and Design Standards
Dimensional Standards
Residential Districts
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 93
(c) individual driveways leading from the shared driveway to each dwelling unit must
be at least 20 feet long, as measured between the front of the garage or carport
and the closest edge of the shared driveway;
(d) the design of the auto court must permit a passenger vehicle to back out of an
individual driveway and turn 90 degrees using the individual drive or intersecting
street;
(e) the auto court design must comply with all off-street parking requirements
applicable to singe-family dwellings. In addition, each auto court design must
provide one-half off-street parking space per dwelling unit, in a location other
than a private driveway; and
(f) the maintenance and repair of shared driveways is the responsibility of the
homeowner’s association unless such driveways are constructed to City street
standards and the City accepts responsibility for maintenance and repair during
the development approval process.
Illustration 12: Auto Courts
Bare Land Condominium - Loop Lane
(3) Up to 7 single-family dwelling units may share access to a public street through the
use of a loop lane layout (see Illustration 13) that complies with the following conditions:
(a) the surface of the loop lane must be at least 16 feet wide, and must be surfaced
with concrete, asphalt, or paving stone, or a combination of those materials;
(b) no portion of the loop lane may extend more than 250 feet from the public street

(c) the common area surrounded by the loop lane must be at least 60 feet wide;
(d) individual driveways leading from the loop lane to each home must be at least 20
feet long, as measured from the closest edge of the loop lane;
(e) traffic on the loop lane must be one-way only and must be adequately signed as
a one-way drive;
(f) design of the loop lane must permit a passenger vehicle to back out of an
individual driveway and turn 90 degrees using only the individual driveway, the
loop lane, or the intersecting public street;
(g) the loop lane design must comply with all off-street parking requirements
applicable to singe-family dwellings. In addition, each loop lane court design
must provide one-half off-street parking space per dwelling unit, in a location
other than a private driveway; and
(h) the maintenance and repair of the loop lane surface and the common area
surrounded by the loop lane is the responsibility of the owner unless the loop
lane is constructed to City street standards and the City accepts responsibility for
maintenance and repair during the development approval process.

, within 20 feet of the right-
of-way of the public street or lane; and
(c) the lands adjacent to the intersection of the access driveway and the right-of-
way of the public street or lane must comply with the standards of section
189(4),
Avoiding Interference with Traffic/Pedestrian Safety
.
Splitting Two-Family Lots
141. The owner of a lot that has a two-family dwelling located on it may split the lot into 2 lots
provided that:
(1) The new lot line must be a straight line between the front and rear lot lines, located in
such a manner that the party wall of the two-family dwelling must form part of the new
lot line, and where the new lot line is unable to form a straight line due to the irregular
shape of the lot or the structure, the location of that new lot line must be determined by
the conditions of any subdivision approval issued.
(2) Each of the 2 lots created must have frontage on a street.
(3) The permitted use of each lot created must be for a semi-detached single-family dwelling
unit and permitted accessory uses only.
(4) Each lot created must provide one parking space with access to this required parking
space being directly from either a public lane or a street; however, the parking space
must not be permitted in the front yard.
(5) Each lot created must provide yards not less than the R2 zoning district minimum yard
requirements; except that the minimum side yard along the new lot line may be zero feet
in width. (See Illustration 14.)

a. For buildings taller than 35 ft, the principal building separation distance must be 50% of the height of the taller building to a
maximum of 25 feet.
b. In the RMF-M, RMF-L, and RMU zoning districts, where a building is more than one storey in height, the required interior side
yard increases by 2 feet for each storey above the ground floor to a maximum of 20 feet.
Front Yard Building Alignment
144. Where a multi-family dwelling building or addition to a multi-family dwelling building is proposed
within a street block or a portion of a street block, and the front yard required in the relevant
zoning district is inconsistent with the existing front yards of a majority of the principal buildings
on the street block, the new structure must be developed with a front yard consistent with the
average of the existing front yards within that block or portion of the block. In the case of a
corner lot, either the average of the setback for the two nearest properties on the same block or
for all the properties facing the same street on the same block may be used for calculating the
allowed setback. (See Illustration 11.)
Splitting a Lot Containing Attached Dwellings
145. The owner of a lot with attached dwellings located on it may split the lot to provide individual lots
for one or more of the attached dwelling units provided that:
(1) The new lot lines must be a straight line between the front and rear lot lines, located in
such a manner that the party walls of the attached dwelling must form part of the new
lot lines, and, where a new lot line is unable to form a straight line due to the irregular
shape of the lot or the structure, the location of that new lot line may be determined by
the Director.

PARKING AND LOADING
Parking Spaces Required
161. (1) Each owner must provide the amounts of accessory off-street parking spaces shown in
Table 5-9 for all principal and accessory uses unless the requirements in that table are
modified by another provision of this By-law.
(2) In the C1 and C2 zoning district, within those areas identified on the Urban Infill Areas
Maps 1 and 2 contained in Schedule C, owners are required to provide the amounts of
accessory off-street parking spaces shown in Table 5-9 only in the event of new
construction, expansion, or redevelopment of the property, but not in the event of a
change in use.
(3) Where Table 5-9 requires the applicant to provide more than 250 off-street automobile
parking spaces, the owner must not provide surface accessory off-street parking spaces
in an amount exceeding 125 percent of the minimum number required. This provision
does not apply to parking class 24 (shopping centres), and does not apply to structured
parking for any use. This provision shall apply at the time of development or
redevelopment of the property; if the tenancy or use of the property is later changed to a
use with lower parking requirements, the fact that surface parking exceeds 125 percent
of the minimum parking requirements of the new use will not create a non-conformity.
(4) Notwithstanding the parking class that would otherwise apply, if the development meets
the definition of a shopping centre, then the requirements of parking class 24 shall apply.

Calculation of Off-Street Parking Requirements
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 116
Calculation of Off-Street Parking Requirements
Fraction of a Parking Space
162. When the computation of the number of accessory off-street parking spaces required by this By-
law results in a requirement of a fractional parking space, any fraction less than one-half of a
parking space may be disregarded, but a fraction of one-half or more of a parking space must be
counted as one parking space.
Requirements Based on Floor Area
163. Where parking requirements are based on the “floor area” of the use, the term “floor area”
means the gross floor area of the premises excluding:
(1) Any area used for parking within the principal building; and
(2) Any area used for incidental service storage, installations of mechanical equipment,
penthouses housing ventilators and heating systems, and similar uses.
Places of Public Assembly
164. In places of public assembly, the following applies:
(1) Where those in attendance occupy benches, pews, or other similar seating facilities, each
20 inches of such seating facilities are counted as 1 seat;
(2) Where both fixed seats and an open assembly area are combined, the requirements for
each must be computed separately and added together; and
(3) Where movable seats or chairs are used in a place of public assembly, and a
determination of seating capacity is required, the said seating capacity must be
determined on the basis of 1 seat for every 6 square feet of assembly area.
Outdoor Dining/Drinking Areas
165. Where a restaurant or drinking establishment provides an outdoor dining/drinking area,
additional accessory off-street parking is not required for that area. The creation or maintenance
of an outdoor dining/drinking area is prohibited where such outdoor dining/drinking area reduces
the number of accessory parking spaces below the minimum number required by Table 5-9.
Parking Area Devoted to Transit Support
166. An existing accessory parking area may be modified to accommodate a transit centre, bus loop,
upgraded bus stop, or park-and-ride facility, even though the result of the modification may
reduce the number of remaining accessory off-street parking spaces below the number required
by Table 5-9.
Accessible Parking Spaces
167. (1) Out of the total number of required off-street parking spaces, the owner must provide a
portion of those spaces so as to be accessible to persons with disabilities. Each such
space:
(a) the width of each required accessible space must be at least 10 feet, and for
every 10 accessible parking spaces required to be provided, at least 1 space
must be a minimum of 8 feet wide and must have an adjacent loading and
manoeuvring area at least 8 feet wide;
Part 5: Development and Design Standards
Parking and Loading
Bicycle Parking
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 117
(b) must be located within 200 feet of major building entrances used by residents,
employees, or the public; and
(c) must include signage reserving the space for use by persons with disabilities.
(2) At least 1 curb ramp must be located within 100 horizontal feet of the auto parking space
closest to each entrance to a principal or accessory building that is not a service
entrance.
Minimum Required Accessible Spaces
168. Except single- and two-family residential dwelling units and mobile home parks, the owner must
provide at least the number of accessible spaces shown in Table 5-10 below, based on the total
minimum number of parking spaces required by Table 5-9.

Bicycle Parking
169. Where Table 5-9 indicates that bicycle parking is required, the owner must provide 1 lockable
bicycle space per 10 required automobile parking spaces. Required bicycle parking must be
located with convenient access to major building entrances.
Vehicle Queuing Spaces
170. (1) In addition to those accessory off-street parking spaces listed in Table 5-9, if any, the
owner of property containing any of the uses listed in the first column of Table 5-11 must
provide the number of automobile queuing spaces indicated in the second column of the
table for any drive-through facility. The location of the queuing spaces is to be
measured from the point indicated in the third column in the table.

blocks or interferes with the smooth flow of traffic to and from (i) required off-street
parking spaces or (ii) the driving aisles providing access to those spaces, or (iii) any
adjacent street or public lane through an approved access point.
(3) Each required queuing space must have minimum dimensions of 16 feet in length and 8
feet in width.
Adjustments to Parking Requirements
171. (1) At the owner’s option, the accessory off-street parking requirements set forth in Table 5-
9 may be adjusted downward through the use of the provisions set forth in this section
171. No adjustment may reduce the total number of accessible parking spaces or bicycle
parking spaces below the number required in sections 168 and 169.
Urban Infill Areas
(2) Within the Urban Infill Areas designated on Maps 1 and 2 in Schedule C, the number of
required off-street parking spaces for the following types of uses designated in Table 4-1
are reduced to 80 percent of the minimum number shown in Table 5-9, provided that (i)
the property currently does not meet the minimum standards for accessory off-street
parking set forth in Table 5-9 above, or (ii) the property is located with frontage on a
public transit route with regular daily service:
(a) “multi-family” uses;
(b) “commercial sales and service” uses;
(c) “public and institutional” uses;
(d) “cultural and entertainment” uses; or
(e) “industrial” uses.

Combination of Uses
(3) Where principal uses from different sub-categories of uses listed in Table 4-1 are located
within a single building (for example: retail and service uses in a hotel or office building,
or offices combined with warehousing uses), the number of parking spaces required is
reduced to 80 percent of the aggregate of the accessory off-street parking spaces
required for each use established on the zoning lot pursuant to Table 5-9. This
adjustment may be combined with the adjustment in clause (2) above if applicable.
Parking Management Plan
(4) An applicant may propose to the Director a parking management plan prepared by a
professional traffic engineer or parking consultant, documenting that a lower amount of
automobile parking is adequate to meet the needs of the proposed use or combination of
uses and to prevent traffic or parking congestion on surrounding streets or public lanes:
because of unique patterns of peak hour use, the proximity of other public parking areas,
proximity to major public transportation routes, or other factors, without the imposition
of additional parking management tools.
(5) If the Director concludes that the proposed parking management plan will provide
automobile parking adequate to meet the needs of the proposed use or combination of
uses and to prevent traffic or parking congestion on surrounding streets and public lanes,
the Director may approve the parking management plan and may reduce the amount of
required off-street parking required to conform with the approved plan.
Development Standards for Parking Areas
172. (1) The following provisions shall apply to all new development after the effective date of
this By-law:
Dimensions of Parking Spaces
(2) The owner must provide all required accessory off-street parking spaces and parking
driveways so that they meet the dimensions and standards shown in Table 5-12, except
for required accessible parking spaces, which must meet the standards of section 167.
Parking space dimensions and driveway widths are determined based on the angle of
parking, shown in the first column.

c. Width must be increased to 10 feet if long dimension is immediately adjacent to a fence or wall.
Layout
(3) The owner must provide all required accessory off-street parking spaces and parking
driveways so that they meet the following standards:
(a) an accessory off-street parking area must be provided with a parking driveway
with a minimum width of 8 feet, having access to a street or, where permitted,
to a public lane;
(b) where the sill of a window to a habitable room is located 5 feet or less from
grade, no parking space may be permitted within 10 feet of the window;
(c) where an applicant provides more than 200 accessory automobile parking
spaces, and any parking area will be located more than 200 linear feet from a
sidewalk leading to a principal building entrance, the design of the parking area
must incorporate pedestrian walkways between each such area and either a
provided sidewalk or the building entrance. Required pedestrian walkways must
be:
(i) designed to minimize the need for pedestrians to cross parking aisles or
to walk behind parked cars on the parking surface; and
(ii) designated through the use of colours, textures, materials, or grade
elevations that differ from the automobile parking surface;
(d) parking areas must be designed to avoid the creation of isolated parking spaces
in which an automobile cannot be seen from either:
(i) an entrance to the principal building; or
(ii) from at least 2 other parking spaces located more than 50 feet away
from the subject space; (See Illustration 18.)

Parking and Loading
Development Standards for Parking Areas
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 121
Illustration 18: Parking Visibility
For safety reasons, isolated parking spots are not permitted. All spaces must be visible from a
building entrance or from other spaces located 50 feet or more away from the subject space. In
this example, the spaces on the side of the building are permitted because they can be seen from
other spaces in the lot.
(e) the owner must provide every parking space perpendicular and adjacent to a
fence or a required landscaped yard or berm with either:
(i) A wheel stop located at least 2½ feet from the front limit of the parking
space; or
(ii) A bumper guard fence located along the front limit of the said parking
space.
Surfacing
(4) The following standards apply to the surfacing of required parking areas:
(a) the owner must provide all required parking areas and driveways accessory to
single and two-family dwellings with an all-weather, adequately drained, hard
surface of compacted crushed stone, asphalt, concrete, paving stones, or similar
materials approved by the City, constructed and maintained so loose material is
not dislodged and thrown or carried onto adjoining public streets or lanes.
(b) the owner must surface all required parking areas and driveways accessory to all
other uses and all non-accessory parking areas, with asphalt, concrete, paving
stones, or other surface approved by the City.
Landscaping
(5) All required parking spaces accessory to a multi-family residential or a non-residential use
must comply with the requirements of sections 188 through 193,

.
(b) a maximum of 2 vehicles may be parked on a driveway leading to a parking
space in the principal building or in a side or rear yard.
(c) between May 15 and October 31, a maximum of 1 recreational vehicle, travel
trailer, or motor home may be parked on a driveway leading to a parking space
in the principal building or in a side or rear yard.
Vehicle Display Areas
(9) If a parking area is used as a vehicle display area for the exhibition, sale, or rental of
automobiles, light trucks, motorcycles, boats, recreational vehicles, off-road vehicles, or
similar items, the owner must comply with the following additional provisions. In the
event of a conflict between these provisions and the provisions of subsection (1) through
(6) above, these provisions govern:
(a) a bumper guard fence not exceeding 27 inches and not less than 18 inches in
height must be erected where the display area abuts upon a public right-of-way

Measurement of Sign Surface Area
Signs Attached to Building
185. Sign surface area is calculated as follows for signs attached to a building:
(1) Sign surface area includes the entire area of the smallest rectangle that encloses the
extreme limits of any writing, representation or emblem forming part of the display, and
also includes 10 percent of the area of the wall outside of that rectangle where a colour
or material is applied that is a colour or material in that fascia sign (see Illustration 19);
sign surface area =
smallest rectangle
enclosing writing or
other symbols
additional 10% of wall area
included in surface area if
colour of wall is the same as a
colour used in the sign
sign surface area =
smallest rectangle
enclosing writing or
other symbols
additional 10% of wall area
included in surface area if
colour of wall is the same as a
colour used in the sign
Illustration 19: Surface Area for Signs Attached to Buildings
(2) Sign surface area does not include non-illuminated signs visible through windows in the
building façade, provided that such signs do not exceed 30 percent of the glazed surface
on any façade of the building. Allowable window signage is not transferable to the
glazed surface on another façade of the building;
(3) In calculating wall area for purposes of determining maximum sign surface area, only the
first 3 storeys or 45 feet (whichever is lower) of the building may be used. Allowable
sign surface area is not transferable to another wall;
(4) Reado-graph or bulletin board sign areas are not included in calculation of sign surface
area provided that they comply with the following:
(a) are a maximum of 25 percent of the overall size of the sign;
(b) incorporate the same background color as the sign;
(c) do not exceed 15 square feet in area; and
Part 5: Development and Design Standards
Signs

WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 133
(d) are designed as an integral part of the sign (not an add on).
Free-Standing and Mobile Signs
186. Sign surface area is calculated as follows for free-standing and mobile signs:
(1) Sign surface area includes the entire area of the smallest rectangle that encloses the
extreme limits of any writing or symbol, background colour or material, and any
embellishment of the supporting structure forming part of the display;
(2) Sign surface area includes the total area of all faces exhibited or intended for display,
except where two faces are parallel and located back-to-back, sign surface area includes
the area of only one such face, and if the two parallel, back-to-back faces are not equal,
then the sign surface area is the larger of such faces (see Illustration 20);
(3) The maximum allowed surface area for free-standing signs is not transferable to any
frontage other than that from which its maximum size was calculated pursuant to Table
5-15,
District-Specific Sign Regulations
;
(4) Reado-graph or bulletin board sign areas are not included in calculation of sign surface
area provided that they comply with the following:
(a) is a maximum of 25 percent of the overall size of the sign;
(b) incorporates the same background color as the sign;
(c) does not exceed 15 square feet in area; and
(d) is designed as an integral part of the sign (not an add on).
ABAB
Illustration 20: Surface Area Measurement for Freestanding Signs
The two sides of sign “A” are back-to-back but are not parallel. As such, both sides are included in the
surface area calculation. The two sides of sign “B” intended to include copy (the larger faces) are back-to-
back and parallel. As such, only one side is included in the surface area calculation.

Intent
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 135
LANDSCAPING AND BUFFERING
Intent
188. The intent of sections 188 through 193,
Landscaping and Buffering
, is to specify landscaping and
buffering requirements for all land uses except single- and two-family residential dwelling units
and mobile home parks, and to provide for landscape techniques to achieve compatibility
between abutting and adjacent uses, including public and private streets. These regulations are
designed to provide flexibility, taking into account the high percentage of already-developed
properties and the wide variation in the size of existing lots.
General Landscaping and Buffering Standard
Landscape Plan Required
189. (1) A landscaping plan must be submitted as a part of any development application subject
to this section, unless the Director determines that compliance with the provisions of
these sections 188 through 193 can be documented without the use of such a plan.
Each landscaping plan must comply with the provisions of this section 189. A
landscaping plan may be combined with other required application materials if
compliance with this section 189 can be clearly demonstrated in the combined materials.
Plant Materials
(2) (a) plant material must be able to withstand local climatic conditions.
(b) plant material must be No. 1 Grade Nursery Stock, supplied and installed in
conformance with the latest edition of Canadian Nursery Landscape Association
“Canadian Standards for Nursery Stock”.
(c) plant materials located within 20 feet of a public street must be of a salt-tolerant
species.
Minimum Plant Sizes
(3) Plant materials must comply with the following:
(a) deciduous trees located within 5 feet of a walkway, path, or pathway: 2½ inch
caliper, and of species that normally have lower branches at least 6 feet above
grade at maturity.
(b) deciduous trees not located within 5 feet of a walkway, path, or pathway: 1¾
inch caliper.
(c) coniferous trees: 6 feet high at the time of planting.
(d) all shrubs: 2 gallon container, and of species that can remain healthy when
trimmed so as to maintain a height of not more than 30 inches at maturity.
(e) groundcover, annuals, and perennials: no minimum size.

Avoiding Interference with Traffic/Pedestrian Safety
(4) All required plantings must comply with the following:
(a) all required plantings within 30 linear feet of an intersection between any
combination of public streets, public lanes, railroad rights-of-way, or driveways
(except those accessory to single-and two-family dwellings) must be limited to
species that will not block sightlines between persons on such public streets,
public lanes, railroad rights-of-way, or driveways, between a height of 30 inches
and a height of 6 feet above grade; and
(5) Required landscape or buffer areas must not be used to accommodate accessory off-
street parking or loading, storage of materials, or commercial or industrial activities of
any kind.
Landscaping and Buffering Required
Requirement
190. (1) The following areas of each lot must be landscaped by the owner pursuant to the
standards of this section. In the event that standards for the landscaping of two or more
of the following areas overlap, or are inconsistent, the standard requiring more
landscaping governs.
Street Edge Landscaping
(2) All required or voluntary yards must contain a minimum of one deciduous or coniferous
tree for each 30 feet of linear street frontage, plus 3 shrubs for each 20 feet of linear
street frontage.
(3) Required trees may be clustered to provide visual interest as long as other requirements
of this By-law are met.
(4) Lot frontage areas occupied by curb cuts or driveways must be included when calculating
linear frontage planting requirements, and any trees that would otherwise be required in
such areas must be planted in remaining lot frontage areas unless prohibited by
minimum spacing requirements for the species being used.
Building Foundation Landscaping
(5) Outside of the Urban Infill Areas, as shown on Maps 1 and 2 in Schedule C, building
foundation landscaping is required for all principal buildings. At least 1 shrub must be
planted per each 10 lineal feet of each façade facing a public right-of-way or containing a
principal building entrance. Foundation plantings may be clustered to provide interest.
Foundation planting is not required along any portion of the sides or rears of buildings.

Parking Lot Interior Landscaping
(6) The following landscaping of areas internal to parking lots is required for all parking
areas within the Urban Infill Areas, as shown on Maps 1 and 2 in Schedule C that contain
more than 50 automobile parking spaces and all parking areas outside the Urban Infill
Areas having more than 20 automobile parking spaces:
(a) in addition to landscaping installed to meet any other requirements of this
section, 5 percent of the gross parking lot area must be landscaped;
(b) one tree must be provided for each 300 square feet of parking lot interior
landscape area within the area required in subsection (6)(a) above; and one
shrub must be installed for each 100 square feet of parking lot interior landscape
area within the area required in subsection (6)(a) above;
(c) internal landscape areas must be dispersed on the site so as to break up the
expanse of pavement;
(d) where landscaping is provided within landscape islands, those islands must be a
minimum of 5 feet wide; and
(e) required trees and shrubs within a required landscaped area may be clustered to
create visual interest.
Side and Rear Site Edge Buffering
(7) A landscaped buffer must be installed along side or rear lot lines to reduce the impacts of
traffic movements, light, noise, dust, and odours on adjacent properties in the following
two situations:
Part 5: Development and Design Standards
Landscaping and Buffering
Preservation of Existing Trees
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 138
Buffering of Residential Uses from Non-Residential Impacts
(a) a landscaped buffer must be installed where a side or rear lot line of a lot in a
commercial or institutional or manufacturing zoning district abuts a lot in a
single, two-family or multi-family residential zoning district. The required buffer
must comply with Option 1 or Option 2 below:
(i) Option 1: Site edge buffering must have a landscaped area with at least
1 deciduous or coniferous tree for every 35 linear feet of lot line and 3
shrubs per 20 linear feet of lot line where the abutting condition exists.
A landscaped berm a minimum of 2½ feet in height with a rise-to-run
ratio not exceeding 1:3 may be integrated into this option. The height of
planted materials (together with any berm provided) must be at least 6
feet in height at the time of planting.
(ii) Option 2: Site edge buffering must include an opaque wall, berm, fence
and/or dense vegetative screen with a minimum combined height of 6
feet. If a vegetative screen is proposed, it must be at least 6 feet in
height at the time of planting. If a wall or fence is used the maximum
continuous horizontal length of any section is 48 feet, at the end of
which a landscaped strip of a minimum length of 16 feet, a minimum
depth of 4 feet, and with shrubs a minimum height of 2½ feet must be
provided.
(b) regardless of which option is chosen, required trees and shrubs within a required
landscaped area may be clustered to create visual interest.
Buffering of Parking and Loading Areas
(8) A landscaped buffer must be installed when a parking or loading area accessory to any
use, other than a single- or two-family residential use, is located within 20 feet of a side
or rear lot line abutting a residential zoning district.
(9) Buffering of a parking or loading area may comply with either Option 1 or Option 2 in
clause (7)(a) above, but the required minimum height of any wall, fence, berm, or
combination of a wall, fence, or berm must be 4 feet rather than 6 feet.
Preservation of Existing Trees
Incentive
191. The owner shall receive credit against the amount of landscaping material otherwise required by
section 190 for each healthy mature tree over 2½ inches diameter at breast height (DBH)
preserved on the site. The credit for preserved trees is determined based on the size of the
preserved tree, as shown in Table 5-16, below. Credit for preserved trees must not result in any
reduction of trees planted in street frontage landscaping unless the preserved trees are located
within 20 feet of the front lot line.

dwelling must comply with the following standards in sections 201 to 204. These standards do
not apply to seasonal lighting used less than 60 days per calendar year.
Intent
200. The owner may design and install all site lighting to maintain adequate lighting on site and
provide security for people and property through the use of fixtures that are durable and energy
efficient, while preventing glare beyond the property line.
Part 5: Development and Design Standards
Lighting
General Standards
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 142
General Standards
201. The owner must design and install only on-site lighting that complies with the standards in this
section 201. Lighting of parking lots, canopies, and loading areas must also comply with the
provisions of sections 203 and 204 as applicable. In case of a conflict between the provisions of
this section 201 and the provisions of sections 203 and 204, the latter govern.
Wall-Mounted Lights
(1) Wall-mounted lights must have fully shielded luminaires to direct all light downward.
Direction of Lighting
(2) No owner may install or maintain a light source that is directed outward toward property
boundaries or adjacent rights-of-way.
(3) Lighting of non-residential properties must be directed downward except for low-voltage
architectural, landscape and decorative lighting, which is subject to subsection (4).
(4) Architectural, landscape, and decorative lighting may be directed upward to illuminate
flags, statues, or any other objects but must use a narrowly directed light whose light
source is not visible from adjacent residential properties or public streets.
Shielding
(5) All light sources must be shielded to prevent glare and spillover.
Walkways
(6) The owner must install all required lighting so as to maintain a minimum clear distance of
7 feet above all pedestrian walkways, and such lighting must be installed so as not to
cause a hazard to those using pedestrian walkways.
Prohibited Lighting
202. (1) No person may install or maintain strobe lights that are visible from another property,
unless required by a governmental aviation authority.
(2) No person may install or maintain red, blue, or yellow rotating lights designed to imitate
lighting on police, fire, or emergency vehicles that are visible from another property.
Parking Area Lighting
203. The owner may install and maintain parking area lighting only if it complies with the following
standards:
Location
(1) Light fixtures must be located to provide a relatively uniform level of lighting and to avoid
extreme contrasts between levels of lighting, except as necessary to prevent glare onto
adjacent properties.
Height
(2) Within any residential zoning district, the maximum permitted height of light poles is 20
feet.
Part 5: Development and Design Standards
Design Standards
Canopy and Service Area Lighting
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page 143
(3) Within any commercial or manufacturing zoning district, the maximum permitted height
of light poles is 25 feet within 50 feet of residential uses, and 35 feet in all other areas.
Canopy and Service Area Lighting
204. The owner may install and maintain canopy and service area lighting only if it complies with the
following standards.
Canopy Lighting
(1) All canopy lighting must use recessed luminaire fixtures and must be designed and
located so as to prevent glare onto adjacent properties. No light source in a canopy
structure may extend downward further than the lowest edge of the canopy ceiling.
Highly reflective material must not be installed on the underside of the canopy. As an
alternative (or supplement) to recessed lighting, indirect lighting may be used where light
is beamed upward and then reflected down from the underside of the canopy. When this
method is used, light fixtures must be shielded so that direct light is focused exclusively
on the underside of the canopy and is not visible from any residential use adjacent to or
across a street or public lane from the subject property, or from any public right-of-way.
Service Areas
(2) Service area lighting fixtures must be designed and located so that the light source
cannot be seen from adjacent streets or areas with residential uses. Wall mounted light
fixtures must use cutoff devices to contain direct lighting to the service area and must
have a concealed light source.
DESIGN STANDARDS
205. Owners must complete development in accordance with the design standards in sections 206
through 211 unless those standards are otherwise provided by another section of this By-law, by
the terms of an adopted PDO-1 or PDO-2 zoning district, or by a Variance Order.
Intent
206. The intent of the design standards in this section is to (a) implement those recommendations in
Plan Winnipeg
calling for high-quality design; (b) ensure that the design of multi-building
complexes integrate good circulation systems for automobiles, bicycles, and pedestrians; and, (c)
to ensure that the design quality of commercial, institutional, mixed use, and industrial
developments protects and enhances the image of surrounding developments.
Multi-Family Residential Development

WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page E-2
Design Review
5. (1) Subject to subsections (2), (3) and (4) within the District, all development,
redevelopment, expansion, demolition, or exterior alteration visible from public rights-of-
way is subject to urban design review and must be approved by the Director prior to
commencement. Urban design approval as set out herein is required whether or not the
proposal requires a building permit, development permit, Variance Order, Conditional Use
Order, or other approval.
(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1), temporary structures (for events not exceeding 14 days)
do not require urban design review and approval.
(3) In addition to the requirements in subsection (1), urban design approval is required for
development within public roads, public lanes, public walkways, and public rights-of-way.
(4) Notwithstanding subsection (1), interior building elements will be considered in urban
design review only when their arrangement impacts on exterior pedestrian circulation
and safety aspects.
Urban Design Considerations
6. (1) Review of development, redevelopment, expansion, demolition, or exterior alteration
proposals is primarily intended to ensure the thoughtful integration of such proposals into
their local context and consistency with the standards articulated in
Plan Winnipeg
. For
the purposes of this by-law, urban design review will focus on the quality of the public
environment and be predicated on the understanding that the quality of that
environment is formed as a result of many independent creative decisions.
(2) In making a decision concerning the approval or denial of approval of proposed
development and redevelopment in the Boulevard Provencher overlay district pursuant to
subsection 4(1), the Director must consider the extent to which the proposed
development or redevelopment is consistent with the guidelines set out in this section
and by the Standing Policy Committee on Property and Development pursuant to section
6 in respect of the following Key Considerations.
(a) building placement;
(b) façade treatment & building entrances;
(c) driveways & building services; and
(d) signs.
(3) In addition to serving as the basis for the Director’s decision-making, the guidelines set
out in this section:
(a) are provided to assist property owners, design professionals, administrators,
decision-makers, advisory committee members, and other parties involved in
preparing, reviewing, or approving new developments, redevelopments,
expansions, and exterior alterations;
(b) provide a bridge between current policy desires and any detailed urban design
guidelines, standards, or criteria that may be generated and which would then
supplant the Key Considerations;
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page E-3
(c) are not intended to stifle or discourage creativity; instead, they provide a
framework within which to exercise creative design approaches.
Building Placement Considerations
(4) The following guidelines are to be used in evaluating the placement of buildings:
(a) in general, buildings are expected to provide no or minimal yards to public road
rights-of-way (front and corner side yards);
(b) building setbacks for Active Uses (e.g. sidewalk cafés, newsstands, retailer
displays) can be accommodated;
(c) building setbacks to hotel, public & institutional, and cultural & entertainment
uses can be accommodated;
(d) where residential uses are located at street level, building setbacks are
encouraged (front and corner side yards);
(e) where a consistent building alignment exists along a block, buildings are
expected to respect this alignment (front and corner side yards);
(f) shape, size and alignment of buildings and spaces should reflect the existing
horizontal and vertical rhythm and urban form;
(g) new buildings or additions should acknowledge existing buildings in height and
form;
(h) the form and appearance of a building should consider views along the
Boulevard to landmark buildings such as the St. Boniface Cathedral, Hotel de
Ville, and vistas such as the Esplanade Riel;
(i) landscaped spaces, streetscapes and architectural qualities of the Boulevard
should be respected, including the preservation of Boulevard trees; and
(j) development should respect adjacent heritage buildings.
Façade Treatment and Building Entrance Considerations
(5) The following guidelines are to be used in evaluating the treatment of front facades and
building entrances:
(a) open and inviting building facades are encouraged at street level and 2nd storey,
in order to enhance the convenience, comfort, and enjoyment of pedestrian
experiences and enhance interactions between the public realm and business
operations on private property;
(b) long, undifferentiated blank walls located at street level and along public roads
are discouraged; instead, they should be enhanced by combinations of
transparent windows (not reflective or spandrel), window displays, active uses,
vertical architectural features (e.g. columns, bays, fenestration, pilasters), and
contrasting building materials/textures/colours/ shades;
(c) opaque window signs, storage of materials blocking windows, permanently
closed blinds, and other measures or operations that hamper transparent street
level pedestrian/business interactions are discouraged;
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page E-4
(d) direct access to retailers, service providers, and customer service areas from
street level is encouraged;
(e) multiple front entrances from street level to large developments are encouraged;
(f) measures to enhance visibility and accessibility of building front entrances (e.g.
setbacks or projections from building wall, architectural features, contrasting
materials, ornamentation) are encouraged.
(g) principal entrances to buildings should be on Provencher.
(h) doorways should replicate the existing rhythm of entrances on the Boulevard
(i) new buildings should use similarly sized and shaped windows and doors, creating
a consistent rhythm.
Driveways & Building Service Considerations
(6) The following guidelines are to be used in evaluating the treatment of driveways and
building services:
(a) in order to encourage an uninterrupted pedestrian boulevard, numbers and
dimensions of motor vehicle driveways, private approaches, and other intrusions
into the boulevard should be minimized;
(b) access to off street parking facilities, delivery loading spaces, refuse storage
areas, and other building services is encouraged to be via public lane (or from
secondary street, when public lane is not available);
(c) off street parking facilities, delivery loading spaces, refuse storage areas, and
other building services are encouraged to be located internal to buildings;
(d) off street parking facilities, delivery loading spaces, refuse storage areas, and
other building services located adjacent to public roads and residential uses are
encouraged to be screened via landscaping, fencing, building wing walls, or
combinations, ensuring pedestrian access and motor vehicle sight lines are
maintained;
(e) off street parking facilities, delivery loading spaces, refuse storage areas, and
other building services located between building walls and boulevard Provencher
are discouraged.
Signs
(7) The following guidelines are to be used in evaluating signs:
(a) signs are expected to: enhance visibility; be helpful in identifying a building or
use; have legible, clear, ordered copy/logo/symbol; be visible (primarily to
pedestrians, secondarily to motorists); not obscure neighbouring signs; not limit
individual tenant opportunities at multiple-tenant sites;
(b) signs are expected to enable orientation and to be helpful in finding a building or
use, from a distance or up close;
WINNIPEG ZONING BY-LAW 200/2006 Page E-5
(c) signs must not negatively impact personal safety or motor vehicle safety—
located and anchored safely and out of the way of pedestrians; not obscuring or
mimicking traffic signs/signals;
(d) signs are expected to respect historic areas and important sites; protect valued
views and vistas; and complement other notable features;
(e) all signage must be attached to a building;
(f) signs should be lit by external sources and not internally; and
(g) signage should be bilingual and feature at least the same size and quantity of
lettering in French and English.
Urban Design Review Process
7. (1) The Standing Policy Committee on Property and Development may approve urban design
guidelines, standards or criteria, not inconsistent with the guidelines set out in this
section, which are to be considered by the Director in urban design review of
development proposals.
(2) The Standing Policy Committee on Property and Development may appoint an advisory
committee (or committees) for the purpose of providing recommendations to the Director
regarding (i) urban design guidelines, standards, or criteria, and/or (ii) whether or not to
grant urban design approval for a particular development, redevelopment, expansion,
demolition, or exterior alteration. The advisory committee may establish its own
procedures, subject to approval by the Standing Policy Committee on Property and
Development.
(3) The Director may not deny an urban design review application without first giving the
applicant notice of the date, time, and location of a meeting to hear representation from
the applicant concerning the application.
