Zoning By-Law
The City has two planning documents, which control the use of land within our municipality. The first is the Official Plan, which is a long-range planning tool that establishes goals and objectives of how our community should grow. The second document is the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 85-95, which establishes permitted uses and performance standards for individual properties throughout the City.
Both these documents can be amended through a public process. If you wish to amend these documents applications are available through the City Clerk’s office and processed by the Planning Services Department. Planning staff can be contacted at (705) 739-4208 and would be happy to assist you with completing these applications and guiding you through the process.

City of Barrie Zoning By-law 2009-141 Contents
The Comprehensive Zoning By-law (August 2009) was approved by the Council of the City of Barrie on August 10, 2009 as By-law 2009-141. The By-law was appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board and is not in full force and effect.
Staff are implementing Zoning By-law 2009-141 as well as existing Zoning By-law 85-95 and applying the more restrictive of the By-laws to all active applications. This action will ensure the long term conformity of new development to the zoning provisions of the City.
