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 has no legislative sanction and is for convenience of reference only; the original bylaws must be consulted. Bylaw 2556 (2026) is an amendment bylaw posted separately and is not in this consolidation.
