Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The Township publishes the bylaw as nine section PDFs (each zone's source_url, pdf_page counts within that PDF). It is consolidated for convenience only and the Township does not warrant it is current. 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.
