Throughout the City are sites and areas that require policies that vary from
one or more of the provisions of the Official Plan and may require a further
layer of local policy direction for an area. In most cases, the site and area
specific policies provide direction on land use.
Note: The Site Area and Specific Policies shapefile does contain polygons
which are intended to overlap as the policy areas are not mutually exclusive.
The drawing order of polygons is software-dependent and cannot be controlled
by City Planning when preparing the shapefile. It is suggested to change the
styling of the polygons to be outlines only with no fill. This will allow
users to view the overlapping polygons, as they will not completely cover one
another.
