Development Control Tools

Development control tools provide standards to ensure efficient and responsible development. These include town planning acts, building bylaws, zoning laws, density controls, and guidelines. Zoning laws specify permitted land uses to separate incompatible uses and preserve resources. Density controls manage the intensity of land use through measures like the number of dwelling units per area. Guidelines provide indications for safe, secure, and well-overlooked development. Together, these various development control tools aim to establish orderly growth.
