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 District is preparing a replacement Zoning Bylaw (a draft dated 2026-10-09 is on its zoning page); Bylaw 133 is the one in force until that is adopted. The zoning map is Schedule A. 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.
