What do the letters and numbers mean for commercial residential zones?

No, the residential zone category is broken into six different residential zone categories from detached to apartment buildings, as well as capturing a multitude of frontages, lot areas, f.s.i. factor, and exceptions that were in force in the old zoning bylaws.
What regulations apply to a property identified on the new zoning map as "Not Part of This Bylaw"?
These properties are left out of the new zoning bylaw and are regulated by the former zoning bylaws that are still in effect.
Why were these properties left out of the new zoning bylaw?
There are various reasons why some properties and lands were excluded from the zoning bylaw, a sample of which include:
- Properties whose current zoning conflicts with the Official Plan
- Lands that are regulated by complicated and comprehensive area-based zoning bylaws such as the Centres (in Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough), the Railway Lands, Harbourfront, the Fort York Neighbourhood, University of Toronto Downtown Campus, Liberty Village, West Don lands and the East Bayfront
- School sites owned by Toronto District School Board and Toronto Catholic School Board School, as directed by the Planning and Growth Management Committee
- Properties that were under development but still in the site plan approval process
- A number of properties that were on the threshold of enactment of a site specific zoning amendment
- Site specific bylaw passed by Council but currently under appeal at the Ontario Municipal Board
How many properties are identified as "Not Part of This Bylaw"?
In total, there are 478,239 parcels of land in the zoning map and over 6,300 parcels are "Not Part of This Bylaw", which represents 1.3% of the total number of zoned properties.
Why is "Not Part of this Bylaw" shown differently between the on-line and paper copy of the zoning bylaw?
"Not Part of This Bylaw" is shaded black on the online version of the maps and as hatching on the paper copy of the zoning bylaw only because what works on the screen doesn't necessarily work on paper.
How do I find the old zoning bylaws for properties that regulate propertied identified as "Not Part Of This Bylaw"?
The old zoning bylaws are not available online. You need to contact the Customer Service Counter in the appropriate District.
