R2 zone polygons (By-law 05-200)The outline is the City of Hamilton boundary.

The 56 smallest polygons are too small to see at this scale and are not drawn; every polygon is counted.


Where R2 applies

Polygons and hectares by the City of Hamilton’s neighbourhood outlines, each polygon placed by a point inside it.

And 17 more neighbourhoods.

Wards: Ward 10 (39), Ward 12 (18), Ward 11 (8), Ward 14 (6), Ward 13 (4), Ward 8 (3), Ward 15 (3), Ward 2 (2), Ward 5 (2), Ward 6 (2), Ward 1 (1), Ward 7 (1).


Exceptions, holding and other markers

The markers the layer records on R2 polygons. Their terms are written only in the by-law; each line says where.

Special exception (1 polygons)
941The City's guide to the by-law: a special exception's terms are in Schedule C – Special Exceptions. Read it
Drawn over another polygon
1 zone polygon sit inside another polygon on the layer (the map draws one zone over another without cutting a hole). Their hectares are counted here and in the other zone; the by-law map decides which applies.

What the zone permits

The permitted uses and regulations for R2 are set out in Section 15.3, 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.
