Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. This is the Town's bylaw library copy (Laserfiche portal, DocView id 36093). The text carries only the 2024 adoption dates and no consolidation notice, so later amendments may not be included. Schedule B (zoning map) and Schedule C (floodplain map) are separate documents. 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.
