Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The PDF is marked "Consolidated only for convenience". Zone sections are in Division 200. CD-15 and several other CD numbers no longer exist (repealed or never used), so they are not listed. 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.
