Application details

Town of Milton’s Development Services Department has initiated a series of housekeeping amendments that will amend various parts of the Town’s Urban Zoning By-law 016-2014, as amended, and Rural Zoning By-law 144-2003, as amended, for the purpose of updating, clarifying, and correcting various provisions and regulations within the By-laws.

Comprehensive Zoning By-law 016, 2014, as amended

The purpose and effect of the proposed housekeeping amendments relating to regulations and provisions of Comprehensive Zoning By-law 016-2014, as amended, is:

To revise the following:

  • The definition of “Lot”
  • The minimum off-street parking requirements for Mixed Use buildings within an MU (Mixed Use) Zone
  • Numerical references to footnotes under and within Table 7A - Permitted Uses in Central Business District Zones
  • the “H82” holding provision reference to “H91” in Section 13.2.1.141 and in the holding symbol descriptions listed at the beginning of Section 13.2
  • Section 13.2.1.114 to clarify how holding Zones will be applied in the Milton GO / MTSA and to allow some expansion to legally existing non-residential uses in the area prior to the removal of holding provisions
  • The NHS*337 (Natural Heritage System Site-Specific) Zone boundary on the lands municipally known as 485, 501 and 511 Ontario Street South (location shown in map).

To add the following:

  • Provisions that describe how the Zoning By-law will be administered for different types of condominium developments

To delete the following:

  • The “Service Retail Office” use in its entirety from Table 7A – Permitted Uses in Central Business District Zones

Since most of the above noted changes are general in nature and apply to all lands in the Urban Area, no key map has been provided for the Urban Area except for the site-specific revision proposed for 485, 501 and 511 Ontario Street South.

Comprehensive Zoning By-law 144-2003, as amended

The purpose and effect of the proposed housekeeping amendment relating to regulations and provisions of Comprehensive Zoning By-law 144-2003, as amended, is:

To revise the following:

  • provisions for the parking of oversized motor vehicles in the Rural Zones and Greenlands Zones
  • Given that the proposed revision applies to all lands within the Rural Area, no key map has been provided.
