GE1 zone polygons (By-law 2020)The outline is the City of Burlington boundary.

The 5 smallest polygons are too small to see at this scale and are not drawn; every polygon is counted.


Where GE1 applies

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

Wards: Ward 4 (21), Ward 5 (13), Ward 1 (8), Ward 6 (6), Ward 2 (2).


Exceptions, holding and other markers

The markers the layer records on GE1 polygons. Their terms are written only in the by-law; each line says where.

Exception (25 polygons)
182 (×3), 354 (×3), 54 (×2), 334 (×2), 352 (×2), 400 (×2), 12, 52, 57, 59, 203, 217, 311, 359, 410, 486, 507Part 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 (7 polygons)
H (×7)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 GE1 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.
