Where MU3 applies

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

Wards: Ward 4 (9), Ward 2 (4), Ward 7 (3), Ward 3 (1).


Special provisions, holding symbols and growth areas

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 MU3 land

sp:439 (×2), sp:310, sp:321, sp:346, sp:358

Holding symbols

H1 (×7), H63, H64, H68, H68, H63, H64, H67

What the zone permits

The permitted uses, setbacks, lot coverage and heights for MU3 are set out in Mixed use zones (Part 8) of Zoning By-law 2014-014. 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.
