Zoning
Our Zoning By-law* is a legal document that regulates the use of land within the municipality. The by-law regulates, among other things:
- What each parcel of land can be used for (permitted uses);
- Where and what types of buildings or structures may be located on the land; and
- Lot sizes, parking lots, building heights and setbacks.
Bill 23 has created new opportunities for additional residential units which are not yet reflected in the zoning by-law. Find out more in this Explanatory Note to Bill 23 – Accessory Residential Units. Please contact the Building Department at 519-396-3468 for permitting requirements to create an Accessory Residential Unit or Secondary Suite.
General information is also available on our Building and Renovating webpage.
*This By-Law is not a live document and may not contain all recently updated changes and amendments – please consult the Development Services Department regarding any updates and zoning inquiries.
