Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The City marks the consolidation "for convenience only". The cover lists one amending bylaw, No. 1928 (adopted August 12, 2024, map amendment for 2600 Pleasant Valley Road).
