What is a zoning bylaw?

A zoning bylaw is a series of rules that tell us:

  • What a property can be used for;
  • How big the property or structure can be;
  • Where buildings can be placed;
  • How tall, what size, and how many buildings can be built, and;
  • How many parking spaces are needed, and where the parking spaces can be located.
