A Zoning By-Law is a set of regulations established by local governments to control land use and development within specific areas. These laws dictate how land can be used, such as for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes, and help ensure that communities develop in an organized and sustainable manner. Zoning By-Laws also specify building heights, lot sizes, and the types of structures allowed in different zones. This helps to maintain the character of neighborhoods and protect the environment, ensuring that new developments align with community goals and standards.
