Zoning by-laws are a particularly relevant detail of any planner's career, and their implementation can determine the nature, use, and form of every building and property in a municipality. Re-envision your planning approach to by-laws with “Writing a Comprehensive Zoning By-law”, featuring Zoning Trilogy's Bob Lehman FCIP and Derek De Giovanni.

Bob will walk you through the stages of drafting a by-law, including by-law research and Council engagement, while showing you some of the valuable tools available on Zoning Trilogy. No matter what stage you're at in your career, this webinar will help improve your workflow and set you up for planning success. Click here to view the presentation slides.
