Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The District says this consolidation is for convenience only and anyone using it should confirm the content against the original bylaws; it covers amendments through Bylaw 1538/1535 as of February 2023, so later amendments (if any) are not in it. The District's Zoning page says Bylaw 1255 remains in force while a rewrite (draft Zoning Bylaw No. 1606) is under Council review as of October 2026; the draft is not adopted and is not used here. Zone C-6 and CD-5 to CD-7 are in the text but not in the bylaw's own zone list (s. 500). 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.
