The planning principle they are aspire to. Sub-division plan/ secondary plan = zoning designation for each area: zoning by-law: what is permitted and what is not permitted in the streets. Dictates the nature of that neighbourhood, law set by city councillor, some applied to the whole city, but some limited to some district, Tree by-law: when diameter is more than 1 foot (12 inches), you have to get the permission by the city to cut it down. Changes to the bylaw committee of adjustment appeal decide whether it is appropriate or not. The municipal board will travel across these province to make these decisions: legal but non-conforming use. It was there before, then they changed the by-law, they cannot remove it, but will remain there.
