Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The document says it is reproduced for convenience only and is a consolidation of the bylaw with its amending bylaws. Several sections hold more than one zone (for example Section 901 holds R465, R558, R669 and R930), so those zones share one line range. Zones CD8, CD11, CD13 and CD18 are listed in the contents as rescinded and are left out; CD16 is also rescinded. 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.
