Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The bylaw repeals Zoning Bylaw No. 439, 2007 and all its amendments. The Village lists it as a new bylaw, not a consolidation. The zoning map is Schedule B. 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.
