Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO)
A Minister's Zoning Order is a tool from the Province of Ontario that authorizes the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to issue a zoning order to regulate the use of land, buildings and structures. Zoning orders are made at the discretion of the minister provided they meet at least one of the following:
- requests delivering on a provincial priority supported by a minister (e.g. long-term care, hospitals, transit-oriented communities, educational facilities, housing priorities, economic development, manufacturing, etc.); and/or,
- requests supported by a single-tier or lower-tier municipality (e.g. through a municipal council resolution or a letter from a mayor where the municipality has been designated with strong mayor powers)
The minister may consider requests submitted by parties such as ministries, municipalities, organizations, businesses, or individuals.
Bill 185, Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, 2024 eliminated the Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator (CIHA) applications that were introduced under Bill 109, More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022, replacing the CIHA process with the Minister's Zoning Order framework.
