Zoning By-laws are a set of regulations governing land uses that implement the policies in the Official Plan​. A Zoning By-law contains specific requirements that provide a way of managing land use and future development that is legally enforceable. It also protects property owners from conflicting land uses.

More specifically, it regulates:

• the types of buildings and uses that are permitted
• where buildings and structures can locate on a property
• the lot sizes and dimensions, parking requirements, building heights, setbacks from the street and other such regulations
