What each Oakville community is zoned for

Every zone polygon in the Town’s two zoning layers carries a code and, through its zone record, a link to the part of its by-law that governs it; OakvilleIQ groups polygons by that part. The hectares are computed from each polygon’s outline. A polygon is assigned to the Official Plan community whose outline contains its centre, so a polygon that straddles a line is counted once, in one community. Shares are a part’s hectares over the community’s zoned hectares.

Left out: polygons whose centre falls outside every community outline, the one degenerate polygon in the 2009-189 layer, and roads, which are not zoned. The parts are the by-laws’ own groupings, not land-use categories: an employment zone can hold offices or a warehouse, and a residential zone’s permitted forms differ by code. The zone pages say what each code is and where it applies; the Town’s zoning certificate is the only binding answer for one property.
