Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The cover reads 'Consolidated to June 8, 2026'. The District's older consolidations say reference should be made to Bylaw 3531 and its amendments for legal purposes. Each zone is its own Part (R zones Part 6, CD Part 7, RM Part 8, C Part 9, CS Part 10, P Part 11); the 'section' field holds the Part.
