RM1 zone polygons (By-law 2020)The outline is the City of Burlington boundary.

Where RM1 applies

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

Wards: Ward 1 (12), Ward 2 (4), Ward 6 (3).


Exceptions, holding and other markers

The markers the layer records on RM1 polygons. Their terms are written only in the by-law; each line says where.

Exception (18 polygons)
346 (×6), 118 (×2), 152 (×2), 98, 127, 130, 145, 186, 219, 293, 294Part 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 (1 polygons)
HTable 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 RM1 are set out in Part 2, Residential 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.
