The Official Plan sets out directions for how to manage growth and change in neighbourhoods and how the City will respond to issues such as climate change and affordable housing.
The new Zoning By-law will help implement these directions by providing rules for what can be built on every property in Ottawa.
The Zoning By-law sets out rules for:
How tall buildings can be
Where different types of housing and businesses are permitted
How much soft landscaping and space for trees is required
