Land Use Maps
When Land Use Bylaw 1P2007 came into effect on June 1, 2008,, all parcels of land in The City were redesignated to new Land Use Districts. In order to do this, the existing land use for every property was reviewed to determine the most appropriate Land Use District from 1P2007 for it.
The land use analysis and district transition process followed several guiding principles to ensure an equitable and consistent approach. As a general principle, the existing land use designation of a site was changed to the closest matching land use district in the new Land Use Bylaw.
Principles of the Transitioning Process
- To facilitate the goals of the Land Use Bylaw and the purposes of the districts
- To be consistent with existing policy, such as area structure plans, area redevelopment plans or other approved community planning policies
- To facilitate clarity and legibility, so that land use maps are more representative of the development that is on, or allowed on, a parcel
- To be consistent and equitable
- To maintain a parcel's development potential, to the extent possible, recognizing the new Land Use Bylaw will include adjustments to processes and standards
- Where possible to replace existing Direct Control districts with a new districts from the Proposed Land Use Bylaw, where the new districts closely match the regulations of the Direct Control Bylaw.
The Land Use (Zoning) Maps on this site show how the districts in Land Use Bylaw 1P2007 have been applied. They are provided for reference purposes only. Please carefully read the disclaimer at the bottom of each map section on this page.
