Zones in Montrose
From Zoning Bylaw. The PDF text layer has some character errors (for example "Rl" for R1, "Cl" for C1) and the cover page has no readable text. Later amendments posted separately (for example Bylaw 777 on sea cans and Bylaw 783 of 2024 on accessory dwelling units) are not merged into this text. Section 3 mentions a C3 zone that Part 4 does not establish. Each zone has its own page with its uses, lot sizes, heights and setbacks. Zone pages are drafts taken from the bylaw text and not yet reviewed by a person.

How it works
The Village of Montrose posts a Zoning Map (PDF, dated June 2, 2026) under Latest Bylaws on its Municipality page and in its bylaws library. It is Appendix A to Zoning Bylaw 771. It shows zones such as R1 and RU by parcel. No online address search is stated.
Steps
- Open the Zoning Map and find your parcel and its zone.
- Open Zoning Bylaw 771 and read Part 4 for your zone.
- For a specific property, call or visit the Village Office, which the Village says to visit for more information on development permits and rezoning.
Good to know
- Each zone sets permitted uses, minimum lot area, width and depth, setbacks, lot coverage, height and minimum building width. For example, the R1 zone allows 35% lot coverage and a 560 m² minimum lot with community water and sewer.
- The posted bylaw is the 2022 original, not a consolidated copy. The Village's library also lists amending bylaws 777 (sea cans, 2023) and 783 (2024), which changed suite rules and the R1 and RU permitted uses.
