Zoning

Purpose of a Zoning By-law

A Zoning By-law identifies the zones that show how a property can be used. A property can be used for various land uses that range from residential to commercial to industrial to agricultural, along with many other land uses.

A zoning bylaw contains provisions that regulate:

  • how land can be used;
  • what can be built on a property;
  • the use, size, height, density and location of buildings and/or structures on a property; and
  • where a building and/or structure can be located on a property.
