Comprehensive Zoning By-law

On March 16, 2021, the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) issued Order PL190276 regarding the City of Thorold's  Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw 60-2019. The issuance of this LPAT order permits majority of Zoning Bylaw 60-2019 to take effect as of March 16, 2021 excluding residential zones and associated parking requirements and parking related provisions.

Applications for properties zoned residential will be reviewed by applying the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2140 (97).

A Zoning By-law regulates the use of land and controls how each property in the city can be used. More specifically, it regulates:

  • the types of buildings and uses that are permitted
  • where buildings and structures can locate on a property
  • the lot sizes and dimensions, parking requirements, building heights, setbacks from the street and other such regulation
