Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The consolidation is not a legal document; individual copies of the bylaw can be obtained from the Village Office. The Zoning Map (Schedule A) is near the end of the PDF. 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.
