Inclusionary Zoning has been identified as a planning tool available to municipalities to require the provision of affordable housing through the development process in key, transit-supported locations. This helps to create mixed-income housing developments in Brampton, particularly in areas receiving significant transit investment where the market may not deliver affordable options on its own. By adopting Inclusionary Zoning, this is one way that Brampton can help create complete communities, where people of all incomes can afford to live, work and play.

Policy Framework
The City’s Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) requirements were adopted by Council on February 25, 2026, and will come
into effect on January 1, 2028, within the City’s
14 Major Transit Station Areas (MTSA).
MTSA Locations
The requirements are being phased in gradually between 2028 to 2030 to
a maximum of five per cent for MTSAs located within urban centres (Brampton Downtown GO, Dixie Road, Central Parkway Drive and Gateway) and
three per cent for all other MTSAs.
The IZ requirements will apply:
- to new developments or redevelopments of
50 units or more
- to
either ownership or rental units within condominium projects (purpose-built rentals are exempt from these requirements)
- Units are to remain
affordable for a 25-year period
