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 original bylaws should be consulted for interpretation and application. Colwood's zoning bylaw is called the Land Use Bylaw. Zone sections for CD zones from 10.5 onward are numbered with roman-numeral page footers in the document; pdf_page is the PDF page. No Section 10.28 exists in the consolidation. 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.
