City Concludes Land Use Policy Review in support of the Employment Land Strategy

The City of Greater Sudbury has completed a review of its land use policy framework for commercial and industrial development. As part of this process, updates to the Zoning Bylaw and Official Plan are now in place to support economic growth and development in the City of Greater Sudbury.

Throughout the review process, residents were invited to provide feedback regarding possible improvements or challenges through online surveys and in-person public hearings. Public input was considered and incorporated where possible.

The adjustments made to the Zoning Bylaw and Official Plan focus on increasing land available for development, reducing and simplifying parking requirements, addressing site design barriers, enabling easier reuse of existing buildings, and expanding opportunities for home-based businesses.

These changes will make it easier for Greater Sudbury residents to start or grow local businesses, supporting a strong and vibrant local economy across Greater Sudbury.

More information is available on the City’s Employment Land Strategy website.


The City of Greater Sudbury would like to give a big THANK YOU to the members of DLAC who contributed to the review and provided insight and feedback. You were a major part of the development of the new policy framework.
