Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Bylaw 392 republishes the whole zoning bylaw (Schedule A) with small changes (for example it drops the affordable-housing density bonus in R-3). The original Bylaw 389 is at https://newhazelton.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/BL-389-Zoning.pdf.
