Where LE applies

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

Wards: Ward 7 (7).


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.

Special provisions on LE land

sp:45 (×2), sp:85 (×2), sp:8, sp:57, sp:142

Holding symbols

H37, H38, H56, H39, H41


What the zone permits

The permitted uses, setbacks, lot coverage and heights for LE are set out in Employment 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.
