RM2 zone polygons (By-law 2020)The outline is the City of Burlington boundary.

The 49 smallest polygons are too small to see at this scale and are not drawn; every polygon is counted.


Where RM2 applies

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

Wards: Ward 2 (24), Ward 4 (16), Ward 6 (16), Ward 1 (14), Ward 5 (4), Ward 3 (2).


Exceptions, holding and other markers

The markers the layer records on RM2 polygons. Their terms are written only in the by-law; each line says where.

Holding (H) prefix (22 polygons)
H (×22)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 RM2 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.
