BC1 zone polygons (By-law 2020)The outline is the City of Burlington boundary.

The 9 smallest polygons are too small to see at this scale and are not drawn; every polygon is counted.


Where BC1 applies

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

Wards: Ward 4 (33), Ward 6 (15), Ward 5 (14), Ward 1 (7), Ward 2 (2).


Exceptions, holding and other markers

The markers the layer records on BC1 polygons. Their terms are written only in the by-law; each line says where.

Exception (47 polygons)
319 (×5), 225 (×3), 42 (×2), 62 (×2), 337 (×2), 36, 38, 39, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, 226, 283, 288, 292, 320, 333, 335, 338, 341, 356, 409, 433, 445, 448, 456, 461, 471, 485, 492, 505, 525, 528, 537, 548Part 1, s. 1.5: a dash and a number after a zone designation (e.g. RH4-10) is an exception number; the special provisions are set out in Part 14, Exceptions to Zone Designations.
Holding (H) prefix (3 polygons)
H (×3)Table 1.4.1 lists the Holding Zone as an H prefix; the holding provisions are in Part 11.
Drawn over another polygon
1 zone polygon sit inside another polygon on the layer (the map draws one zone over another without cutting a hole). Their hectares are counted here and in the other zone; the by-law map decides which applies.

What the zone permits

The permitted uses and regulations for BC1 are set out in Part 3, Employment Zones, Zoning By-law 2020. 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.
