Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
A provincial regulation that has governed land use and zoning for parts of what are now the Towns of Oakville, Milton, and Halton Hills, and the City of Mississauga will be wound down. The bulk of the regulation's provisions and schedules are being revoked, but rather than simply disappearing, the relevant sections are being re-cast as deemed zoning by-laws of each respective municipality. This means the same zoning rules will continue to apply locally, but as municipal by-laws rather than provincial regulation. Landowners, developers, and planners working on properties in these municipalities covered by the old provincial regulation should confirm how their specific parcels are addressed in the new deemed by-law framework for their municipality. No substantive land use rules appear to be changing — only the legal form and authority under which they operate.
