R4 zone polygons (By-law 05-200)The outline is the City of Hamilton boundary.
Where R4 applies
Polygons and hectares by the City of Hamilton’s neighbourhood outlines, each polygon placed by a point inside it.
The permitted uses and regulations for R4 are set out in Section 15.5, 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.
