What is a Zoning By-law?

A zoning by-law divides each part of the City into zoning districts, such as the "R1" Single-Family District, the "C1" Commercial District or the "M1" Light Industrial District, in order to separate residential, commercial and industrial land development and to regulate specific land uses and buildings. A zoning by-law is made up of text and maps; the text sets forth the regulations for each zoning district and the maps show what zoning districts apply to each parcel of land.

Every parcel of land in the City of Winnipeg is zoned which determines how the land may be developed. In each zoning district certain land uses are permitted outright, others are conditional upon approval, and some are prohibited. In each zoning district there are also rules for the location and the size of buildings, including lot coverage, required parking, minimum landscaping requirements,etc
