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

The 241 smallest polygons are too small to see at this scale and are not drawn; every polygon is counted.


Where OS applies

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

And 3 more neighbourhoods.

Wards: Ward 1 (176), Ward 3 (81), Ward 2 (72), Ward 4 (62).


Exceptions, holding and other markers

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

Site-specific exception (3 polygons)
86, 154, 169Section 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 (2 polygons)
T13 (×2)A “T” number before the zone symbol, as the layer writes it.
Drawn over another polygon
33 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 OS are set out in Section 11 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.
