Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Replaces Zoning Bylaw No. 2500, 2007. Zone sections are in Division 8, one "Part" per zone. The PDF text has no explicit "convenience only" statement, so check the City's page for the legal status of 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.
