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 consolidation is placed online for convenience only; it is not the official or legal version, and certified copies are available from Legislative Services at City Hall. Zone T2 (Airport), section 11.6, is repealed and not listed. The bylaw is also published one section per file at https://kamloops.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/138848.
