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; in case of discrepancy the original bylaw or amending bylaws must be consulted. Zone sections are in Part 5 (ss. 34 to 67); Comprehensive Development districts are s. 67.x. Abandoned, defeated and rescinded CD numbers are not listed. 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.
