Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The District's PDF has a list of amendments up to Bylaw 1461 (2021) and prefixes Amendment Bylaw 1518 (2024); the District says a full list of zoning amendments is available from Corporate Services, so later amendments may not be in this text.
