Zoning Bylaw Overview

The Zoning Bylaw governs land use and the form, siting, height, and density of all development within the City boundaries to provide for the orderly development of the community and to avoid conflicts between incompatible uses. 

To find out your current zoning, refer to the online map system online icon.

The bylaw divides the City into different zones each with specific regulations.  There are also several general or city wide requirements that may also be applicable.  Here is a beakdown and quick links to various sections of the bylaw:
