Exceptions, holding and other markers

The markers the layer records on D5 polygons. Their terms are written only in the by-law; each line says where.

Special exception (5 polygons)
1, 4, 444, 619, 660The City's guide to the by-law: a special exception's terms are in Schedule C – Special Exceptions. Read it
Holding provision (17 polygons)

What the zone permits

The permitted uses and regulations for D5 are set out in Section 6.5, Zoning By-law 05-200. HamiltonIQ does not paraphrase them: an exception, a holding provision or a later amendment can change what applies to one lot. The City of Hamilton’s Zoning Verification Report Application is the City of Hamilton’s own answer for a property. The interactive zoning map shows the zone on a single lot.
