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; if there are discrepancies the amendment bylaws prevail. Zones are grouped by Part, so each zone's lines range covers its whole Part (shared tables). 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.
