Where I applies

Polygons by the Town’s Official Plan community, with the OakvilleIQ neighbourhood page where one covers it.

Wards: Ward 7 (13), Ward 6 (4).


Special provisions, holding symbols

A special provision (sp) changes the zone’s rules for that site; a holding symbol (H) keeps development from proceeding until the Town lifts it. Both are set out in the by-law, which is the only place their terms are written.

What the zone permits

The permitted uses, setbacks, lot coverage and heights for I are set out in Institutional and Park zone regulations of Zoning By-law 2009-189. OakvilleIQ does not paraphrase them: a site-specific special provision, a holding symbol or a later amendment can change what applies to one lot, and only the Town’s zoning certificate is binding. Zoning By-law 2009-189 governs North Oakville only; the same code south of Dundas Street, where one exists, is a different zone under By-law 2014-014.
