Where RL7 applies

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

Wards: Ward 5 (22), Ward 6 (10), Ward 4 (6), Ward 1 (1), Ward 2 (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 RL7 land

sp:78 (×12), sp:97 (×2), sp:95, sp:420

What the zone permits

The permitted uses, setbacks, lot coverage and heights for RL7 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.
