Using a series of land use zones and corresponding text, the Town of Inuvik Zoning By-law Plan generally spells out how land and buildings may be used, where buildings and other structures may be located and what constraints may be applicable to the development of a particular property. Contrary to the Community Plan, the zoning By-law is a legally enforceable document which is designed to regulate land use and future development.
The purpose of Zoning is:
- To facilitate the orderly, economic and sustainable development of the town.
- To maintain efficiency and harmony in the use of land in the community;.
- To establish and promote minimum standards for the health, safety, convenience and welfare of the public.
- To prevent overcrowding of lands.
- To secure adequate light, air and access.
- To protect property values.
