Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Consolidated PDF with a list of amending bylaws at the end. Residential sections 601 to 604 and 615 are deleted by Bylaw 8104-2026; CD sections 1037, 1038, 1043, 1044 and 1046 to 1049 are held for future zones (no text). Zone section numbers are the bylaw's 3 to 4 digit section numbers. The City's map still carries old Bylaw 3510 zones (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, RT-1) on some lots, which are not part of Bylaw 7600. 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.
