Zoning
Remnant Zones Project
The City of Hamilton’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 05-200 came into effect on May 25, 2005. Since then, it has been implemented across the city in stages, replacing the Zoning By-laws of the former communities.
The final category of new zones is residential, which are being implemented through the Residential Zones Project. The City is now also working to incorporate remaining “remnant” properties into Zoning By-law No. 05-200. Remnant properties are properties that are still zoned in a former community zoning by-law.
As staff incorporate categories of remnant zoned properties into Zoning By-law No. 05-200, project information and progress updates will be made available.

Remnant Commercial Zones - What is captured in this update?
Some areas were not included in the Commercial and Mixed-Use Zones and Transit Oriented Corridor Zones when they were first introduced, as they required further evaluation.
To ensure consistent zoning across the city, staff are updating the zoning for these remnant commercial properties by zoning them in Zoning By-law No. 05-200, replacing the zoning from the former Community Zoning By-laws.
