Source: Land Use Bylaw No. 57, 2002 (consolidated for convenience, November 2025), s. 4.10 (read 2026-11-08)

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; certified copies of the original bylaws should be consulted. Zones are in Part 4, grouped by section (several zones share one section). CD 14 is not listed in Table 4-1. Schedule B (Land Use Map) is a separate document. 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.
