Who enacts zoning bylaws in Ontario?

The regional planning groups.
The provincial government.
The federal government.
The zoning committee.
The municipal government.
The county administration.

The correct answer is: The regional planning groups.

The correct choice is that zoning bylaws in Ontario are enacted by the municipal government. Each municipality has the authority to create its own zoning bylaws which dictate land use and development requirements within their jurisdiction. This local level of governance allows municipalities to tailor regulations to fit the specific needs and contexts of their communities, ensuring that development aligns with local planning goals, infrastructure capabilities, and public interests. While regional planning groups, the provincial government, and county administrations play important roles in overall land use planning and provide frameworks that municipalities operate within, the direct authority to create and implement zoning bylaws rests with the municipal government. The zoning committee, while it may assist in the planning process, does not hold the primary authority for enacting bylaws. Therefore, the municipal government's role is crucial in establishing the detailed land use regulations that affect day-to-day development and property use.
