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 is for convenience only and is not a legal document; certified copies of the original bylaws should be consulted. Resource Management Zone (MR) and Resource Management Industrial Zone (MR1) share one section (9.9.1), so they share one line range. The PDF is hosted on the District's website CDN (linked from kentbc.ca). 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.
