M2 zone polygons (By-law 016-2014)The outline is the Town of Milton boundary.

Where M2 applies

Polygons and hectares by the Town of Milton’s neighbourhood outlines, each polygon placed by a point inside it.

Wards: Ward 1 (22), Ward 2 (21).


Exceptions, holding and other markers

The markers the layer records on M2 polygons. Their terms are written only in the by-law; each line says where.

Site-specific exception (17 polygons)
241 (×3), 124 (×2), 328 (×2), 6, 27, 33, 168, 238, 343, 345, 349, 350, 373Section 2.6 says a star and a number after a zone symbol (such as *17) refers to a site-specific exception listed in Section 13.
Temporary-use symbol (1 polygons)
T14A “T” number before the zone symbol, as the layer writes it.
Drawn over another polygon
1 zone polygon 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 M2 are set out in Section 8 of Comprehensive Zoning By-law 016-2014 (HUSP Urban Area), 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.
