Zoning By-Law and Key Maps
Page Content
By-law1-88 (PDF) is the City of Vaughan’s Zoning By-law.
 
The by-law controls how land is used, including:
  • required building heights, setbacks, lot sizes, lot dimensions and parking requirements
  • types of buildings allowed and how they can be used
  • where buildings and other structures can be located

Zoning Map

The Zoning Map can be used to obtain information for general areas of the city and information about zoning designations.
 
The City of Vaughan makes every effort to ensure that this map is free of errors but does not assert that the map or its features are spatially, tabularly or temporally accurate or fit for a particular use.  This map is provided by the City of Vaughan without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied.
 
New streets are derived from approved development plans. The inclusion of a street in this guide does not necessarily indicate that construction is complete.
 
For the most current zoning information, including any site specific zoning exceptions, please contact the Building Standards Department, Zoning Section at 905-832-8510.
 
Site-Specific Zoning Exceptions
Some properties in the city may have a site-specific zoning exception. This exception is an amendment to the zoning for a specific property. An exemption must accompany general provisions found in section a.a of By-law 1-88 (PDF).
 
Site-specific zoning exceptions are made up of various schedules in the by-law: 
  • D-Schedule – the mandatory part of the exception
  • E-Schedule – a map showing the lands where the site-specific exemption applies to
  • T-Schedule – additional zoning standards that apply to the lands
If information in this section is required in another format, contact the Office of the City Clerk at 905-832-2281, ext. 8905.
