Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Consolidated for convenience only. Zones are grouped by topic in Parts 5 to 8, so most general zones share a Part-wide line range; each Comprehensive Development zone has its own range. 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.
