The Village posts the 2019 bylaw and each amending bylaw as separate PDFs in its bylaw library, with no consolidation. 508-A, 2021 rezones Lot 13, Block 4, PRP5308 (4 MacDonald Avenue) from P-1 to R-2. 508-B, 2024 adds secondary suites and secondary dwelling units to R-1 (document 3858). 508-C, 2024 (document 6951) is image-only with no text layer, so its changes are not known; it is not used.

Zone pages are drafts taken from the bylaw text and not yet reviewed by a person.

How it works
The Village of Granisle's Zoning Bylaw No. 508, 2019 divides the village into zones shown on the Zoning Map (Schedule A) attached to the bylaw. 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.
The bylaw has been amended by 508-A (2021, one lot on MacDonald Avenue rezoned to R-2), 508-B (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.
