Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Read the linked consolidation and check amendments with planning before relying on a zone for a project. A sheet lists only the rules traced to that zone. Additional definitions, exceptions and general provisions may apply. The accessible consolidation is older than the current City master PDF. The purposes shown were cross-checked against the City zoning layer. The map reports base districts. Consult the City map for parcel-specific subzones and conditions. Check the current PDF and posted amendments for any project. 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.
