A zoning by-law implements the policies of an official plan. It regulates:  

  • how land and buildings are used, 
  • the location of buildings, 
  • lot coverage, 
  • building heights, and  
  • other provisions necessary to ensure proper development. 

In Oakville, there are currently three comprehensive zoning by-laws in effect, Zoning By-law 2014-014, Zoning By-law 2009-198 and Zoning By-law 1984-063.
