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 office consolidation is not an authoritative text and is produced for convenience only; the original bylaw and amending bylaws are authoritative. Amendments 2039-A38 and A39 (January 2026) are published separately and are not in this consolidation. Sections 57 and 58 (Cannabis overlays CPO and CRO) are overlays, not zones, and are not listed. 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.
