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 Village was formerly named Queen Charlotte and the bylaw still carries that name. A draft Zoning Amendment Bylaw 166-2025 is posted but not adopted and is not in the consolidation. Schedule B (zoning map) is a separate page at the end of the PDF (map pages are images). 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.
