Exceptions, holding and other markers

The markers the layer records on I2 polygons. Their terms are written only in the by-law; each line says where.

What the zone permits

The permitted uses and regulations for I2 are set out in Section 8.2, 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.
