Shaping your City: Know your Zone
The purpose of the Zoning By-law review is to...
- Consolidate our multitude of zoning by-laws;
- 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
- Public access to the by-law text and mapping through the City’s website.
The First Draft of the Zoning By-law Text and Zoning By-law Interactive Map is now available for review

What is a Zoning By-law? |
A Zoning By-law controls the use of land in your community. 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 Aside for the Seaton Urban Area (7364/14) and City Centre (7553/17) Zoning By-laws, the other by-laws are outdated and do not reflect current policies and trends.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 development applications. |
