# Zoning Bylaw
The New Westminster Zoning Bylaw is a document which includes requirements such as:
* the types of uses which are allowed on a property (e.g. retail stores, libraries, residential units),
* the allowed density (e.g. number of residential units and/or amount of floor space),
* building height, and
* the amount of parking.
The Zoning Bylaw is also an important tool for implementing City policies and objectives. Every property in New Westminster is assigned to a zoning district.
