Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The Village's page is https://goldriver.ca/documents/zoning-bylaw-no-761-2025/. The bylaw text lists zone R-R as "R.R" in s. 5.1.1 and "R-R" in the zone heading; the Schedule A zoning map pages (PDF pages 79-80) have no text layer. 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.
