OakvilleIQ’s words: the summary sentences
Kept current: Rebuilt from the Town's layer; a weekly check warns when the record is more than 90 days old. One polygon in the Town's layer has a degenerate outline (three vertices) and is left out. The Town's zoning certificate is the only binding statement of a property's zoning.

Zoning By-law 2009-189 zones the lands between Dundas Street and Highway 407 into 796 zone polygons under 26 codes. The most common is GU, General Urban, with 256 polygons; the largest by area is FD, Future Development, at about 1,669 hectares. Its codes are not the RL, RM and C codes used south of Dundas Street: where a code appears in both by-laws (I, FD, SMF) it is a different zone with different rules.

How this database works

The Town of Oakville publishes the zoning map behind Zoning By-law 2009-189 as an open-data layer: one polygon per zone with the code, the Town’s name for the zone, any special provision numbers, holding symbols, and a link to the regulation document that governs it. OakvilleIQ groups the polygons by code, measures them, places each in an Official Plan community and ward by its location, and links the regulation. It does not restate what a zone permits in its own words.

The by-law applies only between Dundas Street and Highway 407. Oakville south of Dundas, and the lands north of the 407, are under By-law 2014-014. Polygon outlines are simplified for the maps; a point on a boundary can fall either side.
