Urban Boundary, Rural Settlement Areas

Notes

1. Hamilton is a single-tier municipality, therefore no lower tier-mapping is available.

2. The detailed historic boundaries of rural settlement areas are not available online. Consequently, Schedule D of the Rural Hamilton Official Plan was used to delineate the boundaries of these settlement areas. It was confirmed by City of Hamilton planner Lindsay King that there were no proposed expansions planned to any of the smaller settlement areas in Hamilton.

3. The proposed urban area expansion related to the Airport Employment Growth District was not added as part of the Hamilton official plan review, but instead proposed through a separate Employment Growth District Secondary Plan and Official Plan Amendment (OPA). These lands were mapped as a settlement area.
