Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The PDF text layer has some character errors (for example "Rl" for R1, "Cl" for C1) and the cover page has no readable text. Later amendments posted separately (for example Bylaw 777 on sea cans and Bylaw 783 of 2024 on accessory dwelling units) are not merged into this text. Section 3 mentions a C3 zone that Part 4 does not establish. 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.
