The new rules also apply to some residential properties that are not on Major Streets.
The new permissions apply to detached homes that meet one of the following criteria and are in the Toronto and East York District:
- on a corner lot on a Community Street;
- beside a park or public school that fronts on the same street; or
- beside a qualifying commercial or institutional property that fronts on the same street.

Community Streets
Community Streets are certain Minor Arterial and Collector streets that are not designated Major Streets.
To identify whether a street is a qualifying Community Street, see the City’s Community Street maps;

Because the City does not provide a single consolidated list, COTRA has compiled a list of approved Community Streets in the Toronto and East York District to make it easier to identify the streets that are affected.
COTRA has compiled this information using the City’s zoning maps and road classifications.

Please note: This list is provided as a guide and may contain errors or omissions. If you are checking a specific property, we recommend also consulting the City’s maps and the applicable zoning by-law.
