Manitoba Zoning By Laws
The purpose of this layer is to provide end users with a spatial representation of the Zones in adopted Zoning bylaws and their consolidated amendments in Manitoba. This layer is intended to be a source of data delivery as well as usage in situ.
This dataset is comprised of boundary geometry representing the zones in the Zoning bylaws (as defined in The Planning Act) in force and effect within the Province of Manitoba.
Spatial referencing of the zones is based on the best available land parcel data for each municipality. Where available, land parcel data based on registered survey plans and ground control coordinates was used. Otherwise, the reference grid maintained by Manitoba Sustainable Development was used. The delineation of the boundaries is set by the bylaw establishing or amending the boundary of each zone. Dataset content is subject to:
- Ongoing changes in zone boundaries which are determined by amendments to adopted Zoning bylaws or the adoption of new Zoning bylaws.
- Ongoing development and maintenance of the land parcel datasets. Improvements to the land parcel data are used to improve the positional accuracy of the zone polygons.
As of the publication date of this dataset, the following known issues remain:
- For zone boundaries that include water boundaries, the water boundary that best reflects the intended zone boundary was used.
- In some instances, road allowances on a municipal boundary are included in both of the adjoining municipalities.
Please visit the Manitoba Municipal Relations website for more information at www.gov.mb.ca/mr.
The Zoning bylaw data reflects the most current zones at the time of export and was uploaded to Manitoba Maps as a feature layer.
