Zoning By-law – Draft 3

What is a Zoning By-law

A Zoning By-law is a legal document that implements the City’s Official Plan and is the foundation for the day-to-day administration of land use standards across the city.
The City’s zoning by-law regulates the use of land in the City, including:

  • how land may be used
  • where buildings and other structures can be located
  • the types of buildings that are permitted and how they may be used
  • the lot sizes and dimensions, parking requirements, building heights and densities and setbacks from the street.

Construction or new development that does not comply with the zoning bylaw is not permitted unless an application for relief is approved by the approval authority – typically Council or the Committee of Adjustment.
