The Zoning Map is Schedule B of that bylaw. The consolidated bylaw is posted on the Village's [Zoning & OCP Bylaws page](https://www.fraserlake.ca/business/builders-developers/ocp-zoning).\n\nEach zone sets permitted uses, number of dwelling units, setbacks, building height, site coverage and, for R1, minimum lot size. The bylaw has 12 zones: agricultural, residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, municipal, parks and utility.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Open the Zoning Bylaw and find your property on the Zoning Map (Schedule B).\n2. Read your zone's section for permitted uses, setbacks and height.\n3. If you cannot read the map or want a copy, call the Village office at 250-699-6257. For bylaw questions, email cao@fraserlake.ca.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- The Village site mentions no interactive online zoning map.\n- The posted consolidated copy states no \"current to\" date. Rezoning bylaws 876 and 877 (2026) are listed separately and may not be reflected, so confirm with the Village before relying on a zone.\n- Other rules, such as the Building Bylaw and development permit areas in the Official Community Plan, may also apply.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.fraserlake.ca/media/480","title":"Bylaw 875, 2025 Zoning Bylaw (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.fraserlake.ca/business/builders-developers/ocp-zoning","title":"Zoning & OCP Bylaws, Village of Fraser Lake","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.fraserlake.ca/municipal-hall/bylaw-listing","title":"Municipal Bylaws, Village of Fraser Lake","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.fraserlake.ca/contact","title":"Contact, Village of Fraser Lake","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.fraserlake.ca/municipal-hall/bylaw-listing?page=1","title":"Municipal Bylaws | Village of Fraser Lake | CiviKit","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 5 of 5 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/fraser-lake/zoning-lookup/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/fraser-lake/zoning-lookup.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/fraser-lake/zoning-lookup.json"}}
