This is part of the First Draft Maps of the City of Kingston’s new Official Plan. The maps and information provided are for public consultation purposes only and do not have any legal effect. 

An Official Plan is the City’s most important land use planning document. It sets out a long-term vision and policy framework to guide how and where Kingston will grow, develop, and evolve through to the year 2051. This Plan is being created in accordance with the Planning Act, and must be consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024, and have regard to matters of Provincial interest. 

Each map in this viewer corresponds to a section of the Plan, covering topics like land use, building form, cultural heritage, infrastructure, the natural heritage system, and growth phasing. Please note that these maps are consultation drafts only and are not yet approved or in effect. 

Kingston is growing and the Official Plan will ensure that the city continues to be livable, diverse, equitable and prosperous by strategically directing growth. This plan will be used as the basis of other plans and bylaws the City will develop and update, including the servicing plans, the zoning bylaw, parks plans, recreation plans and more, they all build off the details in the Official Plan. 

What's YG220K? It's a shared vision for the future of Kingston carrying us forward for the next 25 years. YG220K is the amalgamation of YGK - the city's airport code and regional identifier - and 220K, short for 220,000, which is the population Kingston is expected to hit by 2051.
