# Zoning
Zoning By-laws are regulations governing land use that implement policies in the Town's **Official Plan**, and are regulated by Section 34 of the *Planning Act*, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 in Ontario.
Each provision and zone within the Zoning By-law has specific requirements that control the use of land and provide a legally enforceable way of managing land use and guiding future development.
The Zoning By-law regulates:
* Land use
* Building/structure location on a property
* Building density, height, massing, type, and setbacks
* Landscape and amenity area requirements
* Lot size and dimension requirements
* Parking and loading facilities
* Specific use requirements (such as Cannabis Facilities, Bed and Breakfast, Accessory Structures, etc.)
In certain situations, the Zoning By-law also requires compliance with **Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) Formulae** which mitigates odour between agricultural and non-agricultural uses.
Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2006-50, as amended, applies to all lands within the Town of Caledon with few exceptions (see Section 1.10).

### Amending the Zoning By-law
Sometimes it's not possible to meet all of the Zoning By-law requirements. You can change your plans to meet the requirements, or apply for a preliminary meeting to discuss your proposal. If you can't meet the Zoning By-law you may need to apply for either a Zoning By-law Amendment or a Minor Variance application.
### Request a compliance letter
A compliance letter can be used for:
* Written confirmation of the Official Plan designation and Zoning of a property
* Establishing an Inspection Station
* Establishing a Propane Cylinder Exchange program
* Establishing a Day Nursery
* Establishing a Before/After School Program
Request a compliance Letter.
### Request a zoning certificate
You can apply to have your zoning reviewed (including uses and buildings/structures) to see whether it complies. A Zoning Certificate may be requested for any reason, including:
* To have a zoning review done before you submit a planning application
* For a proposed Motor Vehicles Sales (OMVIC)
* For a proposed propane distribution centre
* For a proposed day nursery
Request a Zoning Certificate Application.
### Request a legal non-conforming use
A legal non-conforming use is a use which was legally established under the Zoning By-law in effect at the time the use began but which is not currently permitted. You can apply to have a use recognized as a legal non-conforming use so long as the original use has continued uninterrupted at that location until today.
