Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The City says the online version is an unofficial consolidation of Bylaw No. 14815, provided for the public's convenience. Schedules I-III (development permit area guidelines) are separate PDFs not included in the saved text. 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.
