From Zoning Bylaw No. 215, 2019 (consolidated to Bylaw 298, 2026). The Village's consolidation is for convenience only; the official bylaw and amendments prevail. The s. 5.1 zone table calls the mobile home zone R-MH, but its section heading (5.6) and the rest of the bylaw use R-MP. Each zone has its own page with its uses, lot sizes, heights and setbacks. Zone pages are drafts taken from the bylaw text and not yet reviewed by a person.
