Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Consolidated for convenience only; the consolidation is not a legal document and certified copies of the original bylaws should be consulted. R-2-D2 (10.6) is reserved for future use and has no zone text.
