8.1 Lot Area Calculations

(1) The average lot area of every subdivision must equal or exceed the applicable minimum and average lot area specified by this Bylaw and for that purpose the average lot area of the proposed subdivision is the sum of the areas of the proposed lots divided by the number of proposed lots.

(2) For the purposes of determining compliance with average lot area regulations set out in Part 5 of this bylaw, areas of land in excess of 5 percent of the land being subdivided that are designated as park on the subdivision plan may be included in the total area of lots being created, and the park is deemed not to be a lot being created.

8.2 Exemptions from Average and Minimum Lot Area Requirements

(1) The lot size requirements of Part 5, the parcel regulations in sections 8.5 and 8.6 and the servicing requirements in section 8.11 do not apply:

(a) to a lot being created solely for unattended equipment necessary for the operation of facilities referred to in Section 3.1, a community sewer or water system, electrical and telecommunication utilities, telephone receiving antenna, radio or television broadcasting antenna, a telecommunication relay, an automatic telephone exchange, an air or marine navigational aid, or an electrical substation, or a similar public service facility or utility, and the owner grants to the Local Trust Committee a Section 219 covenant under the Land Title Act restricting the use of the lot to one of these uses;

(b) to a lot being created for a public park, a conservation area, or an ecological reserve;

BL 180 (d) to lot boundary adjustments, provided that the area of any lot would not be increased to an extent that it could be subdivided into more lots than would be permitted under this bylaw without the boundary adjustment;

(e) to subdivision solely for the purpose of adding natural accretion to a lot; or

(f) to subdivision solely for the purpose of dedicating land to the Crown.

8.3 Covenants Prohibiting Further Subdivision and Development

(1) When a subdivision is proposed that yields the maximum number of lots permitted by the applicable minimum and average lot sizes specified by this Bylaw, and one or more of the lots being created has an area equal to or greater than twice the applicable average lot size, the applicant must grant a covenant complying with s.2.6 of this Bylaw in respect of every such lot prohibiting further subdivision of the lot and prohibiting the construction, erection, or occupancy on the lot of more than one single family residential dwelling unit and where a cottage is a permitted use, more than one such cottage.

(a) one or more of the lots being created has an area equal to or greater than twice the applicable average lot size; and

(b) one or more of the lots being created has an area less than the applicable average lot size;

the applicant must grant a covenant complying with s.2.6 of this bylaw in respect of every lot referred to in article (a) prohibiting:

(c) the subdivision of the lot so as to create a greater total number of lots by subdivision and resubdivision of the original lot than would have been created had the first subdivision created the maximum number of lots permitted by the applicable minimum and average lot sizes specified by this Bylaw; and

(d) the construction, erection, or occupancy on the lot of single family residential dwelling units and, where permitted by this Bylaw, cottages so as to create a greater density of such development on the original lot than would have been created had the original lot been developed to the greatest density permitted by this Bylaw.

(3) Where the approval of a bare land strata plan creates common property on which this Bylaw would permit the construction of a residential dwelling unit or cottage if the common property were a lot, the applicant must grant a covenant complying with s.2.6 of this bylaw in respect of the common property prohibiting the further subdivision of the common property, the construction of any residential dwelling unit or cottage on the common property, and the disposition of the common property separately from the strata lots.

8.4 Section 514 Subdivisions (Residence for a Relative)

BL 180 (1) No lot having an area less than 10 ha (24.7 acres) may be subdivided under section 514 of the Local Government Act to provide a residence for a relative of the owner unless the lot is entirely within the Agricultural Land Reserve.

8.5 Lot Frontage and Lot Shape

(1) The frontage of any lot in a proposed subdivision must not be less than 20 metres (66 feet).

(2) No lot in a proposed subdivision may have an average depth greater than five times its average width.

8.6 Split Zoned Lots
