Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Consolidated for convenience only; the official bylaws and amendments adopted by Council prevail. R7 (s. 8.3) is in the bylaw text but not in its s. 5.1 zone table. 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.
