Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The City's consolidation is for reference purposes only; refer to the City's online version for the current consolidation. Older site-specific "CD" zones (CD1 to CD495) are still regulated by the repealed Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 2750, 1977 and are not in this document; only the CDZ zones (CDZ1 onward) are written out here. 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.
