Where CE applies

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

Wards: Ward 4 (3), Ward 3 (2), Ward 1 (1).


Exceptions, holding and other markers

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

Exception (5 polygons)
33, 34, 37, 267, 412Part 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 (2 polygons)
H (×2)Table 1.4.1 lists the Holding Zone as an H prefix; the holding provisions are in Part 11.

What the zone permits

The permitted uses and regulations for CE are set out in Part 4, Commercial 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.
