Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The District's page posts the signed bylaw PDF; Schedule A-1 (the zoning districts map) is an image page in the PDF. No consolidation date is stated. 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.
