How it works

Zoning Bylaw 2069-2014 divides Terrace into zones. Each zone lists permitted primary and secondary uses (a use not listed is prohibited) and a regulations table covering parcel size, setbacks, parcel coverage, density, building height, floor area limits and parking.

Steps

  1. Open TerraMap and search by civic address, PID or roll number.
  2. Click the property. The left panel shows its zoning and lot area.
  3. Find that zone in the Zoning Bylaw for permitted uses and regulations.
  4. For overlays such as development permit areas, ask Development Services which apply to your lot.

Good to know

  • The City's copy of the Zoning Bylaw is a consolidation that includes amendments up to Bylaw 2345-2026. It states it has no legislative sanction, and the original bylaw prevails.
  • The City warns its online maps and documents may lag. If it matters, confirm with the City Clerk (250-638-4724) or cityhall@terrace.ca.
