The Village's planning page links to the RDNO Maps and Digital Data page, which has a Public Interactive Map and a "Lumby - Zoning" map. The Zoning Map is part of [Zoning Bylaw No. 750, 2012](https://lumby.civicweb.net/document/7189/). The posted copy is consolidated for convenience to October 2024 and lists amendments through Bylaw No. 897, 2024. Bylaw No. 906, 2025 (Zoning Amendment, Industrial Park), adopted May 20, 2025, is after that date. Your zone controls the use of land and buildings, density, the siting, size and dimensions of buildings and structures, and the shape, dimensions and area of parcels created by subdivision. It also covers off-street parking and loading, screening and landscaping, signs, and floodplain and riparian areas. ## Steps 1. Open the RDNO interactive map (rdno.ca/maps) and find your property. 2. Note your zone. 3. Look up that zone in Zoning Bylaw No. 750 to see permitted uses and limits. 4. Check any later amending bylaws in the Village's bylaw list. 5. To confirm, call the Village office (250-547-2171) or RDNO planning (250-550-3700, planning@rdno.ca). ## Good to know - The consolidated bylaw is for convenience only. The adopted bylaws are the legal text. - Other rules, such as the Building Bylaw and Official Community Plan, may also apply to your project. ## Zones 16 zones are listed from [Zoning Bylaw No. 750, 2012 (consolidated with amendments for convenience only, through Bylaw No. 897, 2024)](https://lumby.civicweb.net/document/7189).
