I was curious about the zoning at Grand River Rocks to see whether they'd follow the fate of numerous Toronto climbing gyms and get booted by condo developers in a decade or so. (Turns out that their land is zoned industrial, M-2. Zoning to the rescue, for once.)
So I went and looked at the Kitchener interactive map: http://maps.kitchener.ca/
The zone itself is fairly self-explanatory as these things go. You can find the big list of zones here: http://app.kitchener.ca/zonebylaw/es_zon...t\Sections
But the zone information also comes with codes "1R" and "153U". It took me some time to figure out what those were.
Appendix D defines the R symbols, "Special Regulation Provisions for Specific Lands": http://app.kitchener.ca/zonebylaw/es_zon...ic%20Lands. 1R means "wetlands protected".
Appendix C defines the U symbols, "Special Use Provisions for Specific Lands": http://app.kitchener.ca/zonebylaw/es_zon...ic%20Lands. 153U means "no car dealerships".
Hope that helps someone.
