Part 9 holds the zoning map, and the Village's [Business & Development page](https://www.kaslo.ca/p/building-development) lists zoning maps. No online address-search map was found.\n\nA zone controls permitted uses (principal and secondary), subdivision size, lot coverage, number of dwelling units, building height and storeys, and setbacks. For example, R-1 allows 40% lot coverage, up to 4 dwelling units, 10.0 m height and 3 storeys. The zones are R-1, R-2, RM-1, RM-1A, C-1 to C-4, AERO, M-1, P-1 and P-2.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Open the Zoning Bylaw and find your lot on the Part 9 zoning map.\n2. Read your zone's section in Part 8 for permitted uses and limits.\n3. If you cannot tell which zone applies, call the Village Office at 250-353-2311 or email admin@kaslo.ca.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- A zoning verification or compliance letter costs $90.\n- The Village's [OCP and Zoning Bylaw Update page](https://www.kaslo.ca/p/ocp-and-zoning-bylaw-update) still calls Bylaw 1341 a draft, but the bylaw itself records adoption.
