The posted consolidated copy includes amendments up to Bylaw No. 258 and is for convenience only. The zoning map is Schedule A of that copy. Each zone sets permitted uses (principal and accessory), the minimum parcel size for subdivision, maximum lot coverage, minimum lot line setbacks, building height and conditions of use. Division Three has rules for all zones, such as accessory buildings, secondary dwelling units, parking and fences. ## Steps 1. Look up your lot on the Schedule A map in the bylaw to find your zone. 2. Read that zone's division for permitted uses and limits, and Division Three for rules that apply everywhere. 3. For details on a particular parcel, lot or address, use the TNRD Interactive Map, which the District links from its permit page. 4. For specific or unusual cases, contact the District Office. ## Good to know - The District's page does not say the TNRD map displays zones, so confirm the zone on the Schedule A map or with the District. - Check the amendments: the posted copy is only a consolidation, and the District says to confirm with its office. - Inquiries on planning go to the District Office, 250-672-9751 or inquiry@barriere.ca. ## Zones 15 zones are listed from [Zoning Bylaw No. 111 (consolidated July 2025 through Amendment Bylaws 127 to 258, with map)](https://barriere.municipalwebsites.ca/ckfinder/connector?command=Proxy&lang=en&type=Files¤tFolder=%2FDevelopment%20Related%2F&hash=c245c263ce0eced480effe66bbede6b4d46c15ae&fileName=Bylaw%20No%20111%20Zoning%20Bylaw%20-%20CONSOLIDATED%20July%202025%20with%20MAP.pdf).
