Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The District's consolidation has no legislative sanction and is for convenience of reference only; the original bylaw and all amending bylaws must be consulted for interpreting and applying the law. The District says its Zoning Bylaw is being updated alongside the new OCP (Bylaw 1617, adopted February 9, 2026). An older consolidation (to July 1, 2024) also exists at hopebc.web.catalisgov.ca/uploads/dm/72314/Zoning_Bylaw.pdf. 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.
