Please note that this dataset is not an official City of Toronto land use dataset. It was created for personal and academic use using City of Toronto Land Use Maps (2019) found on the City of Toronto Official Plan website at https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/official-plan-guidelines/official-plan/official-plan-maps-copy, along with the City of Toronto parcel fabric (Property Boundaries) found at https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/property-boundaries/ and Statistics Canada Census Dissemination Blocks level boundary files (2016). The property boundaries used were dated November 11, 2021.

They could also have possibly been published in UTM Zone 17 EPSG 26917 The TIF images were georeferenced in ArcGIS Pro using this projection with very good results. The images were matched against the City of Toronto's Centreline dataset found here The resulting TIF files and their supporting spatial files include: TOLandUseMap13.tfwx TOLandUseMap13.tif TOLandUseMap13.tif.aux.xml TOLandUseMap13.tif.ovr TOLandUseMap14.tfwx TOLandUseMap14.tif TOLandUseMap14.tif.aux.xml TOLandUseMap14.tif.ovr TOLandUseMap15.tfwx TOLandUseMap15.tif TOLandUseMap15.tif.aux.xml TOLandUseMap15.tif.ovr TOLandUseMap16.tfwx TOLandUseMap16.tif TOLandUseMap16.tif.aux.xml TOLandUseMap16.tif.ovr TOLandUseMap17.tfwx TOLandUseMap17.tif TOLandUseMap17.tif.aux.xml TOLandUseMap17.tif.ovr TOLandUseMap18.tfwx TOLandUseMap18.tif TOLandUseMap18.tif.aux.xml TOLandUseMap18.tif.ovr TOLandUseMap19.tif TOLandUseMap19.tif.aux.xml TOLandUseMap19.tif.ovr TOLandUseMap20.tfwx TOLandUseMap20.tif TOLandUseMap20.tif.aux.xml TOLandUseMap20.tif.ovr TOLandUseMap21.tfwx TOLandUseMap21.tif TOLandUseMap21.tif.aux.xml TOLandUseMap21.tif.ovr TOLandUseMap22.tfwx TOLandUseMap22.tif TOLandUseMap22.tif.aux.xml TOLandUseMap22.tif.ovr TOLandUseMap23.tfwx TOLandUseMap23.tif TOLandUseMap23.tif.aux.xml TOLandUseMap23.tif.ov Ground control points were saved for all georeferenced images.

Using Deep learning Objects, the images were re-classified into useful consistent colours. Deep Learning Objects and Training The resulting mosaic was then prepared for reclassification using the Label Objects for Deep Learning tool in ArcGIS Pro. A training sample, "LandUseTrainingSamples20211220", was created in the geodatabase for all land use types as follows: Neighbourhoods Insitutional Natural Areas Core Employment Areas Mixed Use Areas Apartment Neighbourhoods Parks Roads Utility Corridors Other Open Spaces General Employment Areas Regeneration Areas Lettering (not a land use type, but an image colour (black), used to label streets). By identifying the letters, it then made the reclassification and vectorization results easier to clean up of unnecessary clutter caused by the labels of streets. Reclassification Once the training samples were created and saved, the raster was then reclassified using the Image Classification Wizard tool in ArcGIS Pro, using the Support...

This map shows how commercial activity is distributed within urban areas and the impact of commercial services on the urban landscape, by mapping what proportion of stores (hence jobs) in an urban area that are found in industrial zones. Industrial zones are extensive areas zoned for industrial use that nowadays are home to wholesalers, big-box retailers and a variety of services and small office buildings. These are specialized destinations, often oriented to other businesses; not the kinds of places you stumble upon by accident. As the most recent form of commercial concentration, they are most often found in rapidly growing cities, especially the largest cities. Since industrial zones support a wide range of specialized activities they usually benefit from commercial specialization as indicated by the index of centrality. The distribution indicates that cities in Ontario and the Prairies have higher values than cities in Quebec, the Atlantic region and British Columbia.

Property mapping and associated databases have been compiled for the County of Oxford through data received from a provincial mapping and data project called POLARIS (Province of Ontario Land Registration Information System). The POLARIS database is the computerized system that stores and manages ownership data for each property in Ontario. All of the information in the POLARIS database is taken from the actual Land Registry Office documents. The County of Oxford maintains the mapping of properties in the county using information provided by Teranet, the licensed vendor of the POLARIS product. The County of Oxford also integrates assessment property information into the ownership data to show the "tax" ownership of land. Data to support this is received from MPAC, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, as well as the current zoning.

City Council enacted the new Kingston Zoning Bylaw Number 2022-62 on April 26, 2022. The Kingston Zoning Bylaw regulates the use of lands and the size and location of buildings for almost all properties in the City of Kingston (all properties except those identified as “Not Subject to this By-law”). Two appeals were filed during the appeal period to the Ontario Land Tribunal. On September 28, 2022, the Ontario Land Tribunal issued an oral decision confirming that all of the unappealed portions of Kingston Zoning By-law are now in effect.Portions of the Former Zoning By-laws remain in effect and are identified in By-law 2022-62 as "“Not Subject to this By-law”. The 5 Former zoning bylaws are as follows:> City of Kingston Restricted Area Zoning By-law No. 8499> Downtown and Harbour Restricted Area Zoning By-law No. 96-259> Kingston Township Restricted Area Zoning By-law No. 76-26> Cataraqui North Zoning By-law No. 97-102> Pittsburgh Township Restricted Area Zoning By-law No. 32-74For more information, please contact Planning Services located at 1211 John Counter Boulevard, Phone: 613-546-4291.

Zoning is the process of dividing land in a municipality into zones (e.g. residential, industrial) in which certain land uses are permitted or prohibited. In addition, the sizes, bulk, and placement of buildings may be regulated. The type of zone determines whether planning permission for a given development is granted. Zoning may specify a variety of outright and conditional uses of land. It may also indicate the size and dimensions of land area as well as the form and scale of buildings. These guidelines are set in order to guide urban growth and development.Areas of land are divided by appropriate authorities into zones within which various uses are permitted.Thus, zoning is a technique of land-use planning as a tool of urban planning used by local governments in most developed countries.The word is derived from the practice of designating mapped zones which regulate the use, form, design and compatibility of development. Legally, a zoning plan is usually enacted as a by-law with the respective procedures. In some countries, e. g. Canada (Ontario) or Germany, zoning plans must comply with upper-tier (regional, state, provincial) planning and policy statements.There are a great variety of zoning types, some of which focus on regulating building form and the relation of buildings to the street with mixed-uses, known as form-based, others with separating land uses, known as use-based or a combination thereof.Similar urban planning methods have dictated the use of various areas for particular purposes in many cities from ancient times.

This is a georeferenced raster image of a printed paper map of the Shebandowan, Ontario region (Sheet No. 052B09), published in 1979.

The land cover classes consist of vegetation types (such as forest, wetlands and agricultural crops or pasture) and categories of non-vegetated surface (such as water bodies, bedrock outcrops or settlements).

These classes reflect the nature of the land surface rather than actual or potential land use. The 2000 Edition of the Ontario Land Cover Data Base is the Second Edition of this provincial land cover classification. The coverage is derived wholly from Landsat-7 Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite data frames recorded between 1999 and 2002, most from 2000 onward.

The Provincial Land Cover (2000) Data Base is divided into 4 individual Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid zone tiles (15, 16, 17, and 18) and is distributed in TIFF format. Documentation is provided with this database in the form of a user's guide and general use caveats.

Under the Ontario Planning Act, the Greater Toronto Airport Authority is a commenting agency regarding land use developments in the vicinity of the L.B.P.I.A.; G.T.A.A.’s Land Use Planning section reviews all development proposals within the surrounding municipalities to ensure their compliance with airport height restrictions, aircraft noise and bird hazard zone policies and guidelines. Any developments must be reviewed as part of a municipal site plan review process, or, prior to starting any construction activities for those developments that are not subject to municipal site plan approval.

City of Mississauga digital mapping data contains very detailed topographic and planning information clipped to the City of Mississauga municipal boundary based on a scale of 1:2,000.

This data set contains policy code areas in the City of Mississauga, Ontario. Existing land use codes have been applied based on the principle land use activity occurring on the site.

This dataset represents the digitized version of the Canada Land Inventory Land Use (circa 1966) 1:50,000 scale mapping for Southern Ontario. The land use classification is based on air photo interpretation, field surveys, and census information and is divided by NTS map base. Most of the classifications are 'use' classes however, some vegetative cover classes are included (productive woodland, unproductive woodland, swamps-marsh-or-bog, and unproductive land). Classifications have been standardized across the coverage.
