Overview

A one-page information sheet the City of Mississauga publishes with its zoning guidance for non-residential projects, showing how parking is calculated under Zoning By-law 225-2007. It works one sample scenario — a 350 square metre recreational establishment — from the by-law definition of the use, through the parking rate of 4.5 spaces per 100 square metres in Section 3.1.2, the definition of gross floor area non-residential and its exclusions, to sixteen off-street spaces, one accessible space under Section 3.1.3 and one loading space under Section 3.1.4.
