Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The Village says its posted bylaws are provided for convenience only and are not official versions; only the signed printed version issued by the Chief Administrative Officer is official. RD1 (14.6) and RM2D (14.7) are in the bylaw sections but not in the s. 2.3.1 zone table. 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.
