A1 zone polygons (By-law 144-2003)The outline is the Town of Milton boundary.

The 50 smallest polygons are too small to see at this scale and are not drawn; every polygon is counted.


Where A1 applies

Polygons and hectares by the Town of Milton’s neighbourhood outlines, each polygon placed by a point inside it. 5 zone polygons fall outside every neighbourhood outline.

Wards: Ward 3 (61), Ward 4 (16), Ward 2 (15), Ward 1 (3).


Exceptions, holding and other markers

The markers the layer records on A1 polygons. Their terms are written only in the by-law; each line says where.

Special provision (2 polygons)
8, 177Section 2.6 (Site Specific Zones); the special provisions are in Section 13.1.
Drawn over another polygon
16 zone polygons sit inside another polygon on the layer (the map draws one zone over another without cutting a hole). Their hectares are counted here and in the other zone; the by-law map decides which applies.

What the zone permits

The permitted uses and regulations for A1 are set out in Section 10 of Comprehensive Zoning By-law 144-2003, March 2026 consolidation (PDF). MiltonIQ does not paraphrase them: an exception, a holding provision or a later amendment can change what applies to one lot. The Town of Milton’s Certificate of Occupancy (Zoning) is the Town of Milton’s own answer for a property. The interactive zoning map shows the zone on a single lot.
