Strict zoning controls were imposed in March, 1972, on areas likely to be affected by excessive noise ievels from the operation of the airport. The zoning orders, which take precedence over local zoning bylaws, were applied ini the towns of Whitby, Markham, Whitchurch - Stouffvile, Ajax, Uxbridge Township, and the former Township of Pickering, now under the jurisdications of Ajax and Pickering. The zoning orders have the effect of restricting de- velopment in areas. that would probably be affected adversely by high noise levels, said Mr. Irvine. "However, the Ministry of Housing recently received a more, precise noise contour map from the federal govern- ment. The arca covered by the zoning orders has been revised to refleet this latest information," he said. Details of the amended provincial zoning orders are avaflable from the Ministry of Housing, Plans Admnini- stration Division, 56 Wellesley Street West, 7th Floor, Toronto M7A 2L6.
