The City of Pickering has initiated a review of the six existing zoning by-laws. The purpose of this review is to:
- create one consolidated zoning by-law;
- update zoning to reflect Official Plan policies and associated development guidelines;
- complete necessary research to ensure the new by-law is consistent with current legislation, policy and trends; and
- post the by-law text and mapping on the City’s website.
What is a Zoning By-law? |
The zoning for a specific property can tell you exactly:
The City of Pickering is regulated by six parent Zoning By-laws 2511, 2520, 3036, 3037, 7364/14 and 7553/17. Aside for the Seaton Urban Area (7364/14) and City Centre (7553/17) Zoning By-laws, the other by-laws are outdated and do not reflect current policies and trends. It is the City’s intention that through this review, the older by-laws will be updated to reflect Pickering’s Official Plan, current development trends, and simplify the processing of building permits and planning applications. |
