Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The City publishes the bylaw as one PDF per section or zone in its Civix bylaw library (laws.abbotsford.ca); each zone below has its own source_url and its pdf_page is the page within that file. The text is described in the bylaw as an unofficial consolidation for convenience; no consolidation date is stated. Zone pages are taken from the bylaw text by a research agent and have not yet been reviewed by a person: confirm with the bylaw before you rely on them. How answers are checked.
