For each zone the bylaw lists permitted uses, minimum lot area, setbacks, site coverage, building height, signs and parking. For example, R-1 Low Density Residential lists lot areas and setbacks in Table 4.1.\n\nThe bylaw has been amended by 508-A (2021, one lot on MacDonald Avenue rezoned to R-2), [508-B](https://granisle.civicweb.net/document/3858/) (2024, secondary suites) and 508-C (2024, text not readable). The Village's site does not state a \"current to\" date for a consolidated copy.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Ask the Village Office to confirm your property's zone: 250-697-2248 or general@villageofgranisle.ca.\n2. Read the zone's section in the bylaw for what is allowed.\n3. Ask whether any amendment affects your lot.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- No online map or lookup tool was found on the Village's website.\n- No planning staff are named; the Village's building inspection page says to contact the Village Office for more information.","sources":[{"url":"https://granisle.civicweb.net/document/1691/","title":"Zoning Bylaw No. 508, 2019 (PDF), Village of Granisle","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://granisle.civicweb.net/document/3858/","title":"Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 508-B, 2024 (PDF), Village of Granisle","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://villageofgranisle.ca/contact/","title":"Contact, Village of Granisle","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/granisle/zoning-lookup/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/granisle/zoning-lookup.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/granisle/zoning-lookup.json"}}
