RL3 zone polygons (By-law 2014-014)Outlines are the Town’s Official Plan communities.

Where RL3 applies

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

Wards: Ward 3 (31), Ward 2 (23), Ward 5 (20), Ward 6 (17), Ward 4 (12), Ward 1 (11).

Special provisions

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 RL3 land

sp:11 (×19), sp:205 (×9), sp:12 (×4), sp:1 (×3), sp:104 (×3), sp:116 (×3), sp:183, sp:288

What the zone permits

The permitted uses, setbacks, lot coverage and heights for RL3 are set out in Residential zones (Part 6) 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.
