Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The cover says the bylaw was consolidated by the Corporate Officer; the repealed zones CD3, CD5 and CD7 are not listed. Suffix a or b on a zone code (for example W2a) marks a sub-zone with additional uses (s. 44).
