New Zoning Bylaw Project
The City of Burlington’s New Zoning Bylaw Project is underway. This project will create a new Zoning Bylaw that will provide a set of rules for land use planning and development across Burlington. The first draft of the new zoning bylaw for residential zones is now available for review and comment.
