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 consolidation is marked "NOT THE OFFICIAL VERSION - FOR REFERENCE ONLY" and "consolidated for convenience only". Metchosin's zoning bylaw is called the Land Use Bylaw. Zone names carry (ALR) or (FLR) where the bylaw does. Zone regulations are Part 10 (sections 51 to 72). 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.
