How it works
The District of Lantzville's Zoning Bylaw No. 180, 2020 (consolidated for convenience to Amendment Bylaw No. 433, 2026) sets the rules for each zone. The consolidation is not a legal document; certified copies of the original bylaws should be consulted.
For each zone the bylaw lists permitted primary and secondary uses, the number and type of dwelling units, setbacks, maximum heights (including fences), parcel coverage and subdivision size. Uses not listed are prohibited. Part 2 has general rules, such as secondary suites, home businesses, fences, retaining walls and parking.
