Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The Village's consolidation table lists amending bylaws up to No. 744, 2024 (adopted November 25, 2024). Bylaw 755 (an R-3 amendment) appears on the RDCK zoning map but is not in this consolidation. The Village says bylaws on its site are provided for information only and are subject to amendment.
