HN zone polygons (By-law 09-2026)The outline is the City of Burlington boundary.

The 16 smallest polygons are too small to see at this scale and are not drawn; every polygon is counted.


Where HN applies

Polygons and hectares by the City of Burlington’s planning community outlines, each polygon placed by a point inside it.

Wards: Ward 2 (23), Ward 3 (8), Ward 4 (6), Ward 1 (3), Ward 5 (2), Ward 6 (1).


Exceptions, holding and other markers

The markers the layer records on HN polygons. Their terms are written only in the by-law; each line says where.

Holding provision (5 polygons)
H2 (×4), H4Part 2, s. 2.6: a prefix with the letter (H) and a number in brackets is a holding provision under s. 36 of the Planning Act; Part 8 sets out the conditions for removing it.

What the zone permits

The permitted uses and regulations for HN are set out in Part 7, Residential Zones, Residential Zoning By-law 09-2026. BurlingtonIQ does not paraphrase them: an exception, a holding provision or a later amendment can change what applies to one lot. The City of Burlington’s Zoning Clearance Certificate is the City of Burlington’s own answer for a property. The interactive zoning map shows the zone on a single lot.
