Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. A consolidated copy to be used for convenience only; users are asked to refer to the Zoning Bylaw as amended from time to time to verify accuracy and completeness. The bylaw's own zone table also lists DC6 (Direct Control 6), but that section is marked deleted by Bylaw 719 and is not listed below. 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.
