# Zoning
What is a Zoning By-law?
A Zoning By-law is an implementation tool for the Official Plan. Using a series of land use zones and labels, it generally spells out:
* How land and buildings may be used
* Where buildings and other structures may be located
* What restrictions may be related to the development of a specific property
A Zoning By-law is a legally enforceable document intended to regulate land use and future development. Significant changes to land uses or zone regulations require a Zoning By-law Amendment and possibly an Official Plan Amendment. Small, technical adjustments to By-law provisions may be accommodated by a Minor Variance.
### Current Comprehensive Zoning By-law #2008-18
