GE2 zone polygons (By-law 2020)The outline is the City of Burlington boundary.

The 3 smallest polygons are too small to see at this scale and are not drawn; every polygon is counted.


Where GE2 applies

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

Wards: Ward 4 (12), Ward 1 (8), Ward 2 (8), Ward 5 (4), Ward 3 (3).


Exceptions, holding and other markers

The markers the layer records on GE2 polygons. Their terms are written only in the by-law; each line says where.

Exception (17 polygons)
354 (×2), 27, 40, 49, 53, 57, 97, 135, 220, 251, 275, 289, 369, 372, 377, 495Part 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.

What the zone permits

The permitted uses and regulations for GE2 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.
