Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The District's bylaws page posts this as the consolidated version, including Amendment 1162 (May 2023) and the zoning maps as Schedules B, C and D. It replaces Zoning Bylaw No. 932, 2010. A 2026 shipping-container amendment is not in this text.
