The map identifies the district attached to a parcel. The written regulations explain what that district means for a proposed use, building size or location on the lot. The district sets permitted principal and accessory uses, lot size and width, building setbacks, lot coverage and heights.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Start the parcel search with [Village of Pemberton map](https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/b6d340fe06ff4337bdf93c47d16034cc). Search for the civic address, select the actual parcel and copy the complete zone code, including any suffix. For a parcel crossed by a zone line, identify where the proposed work would sit.\n2. Open the matching district or zone section. Read the permitted uses and the relevant dimensions together with definitions and any rules that apply across zones.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Email Village Development Services at developmentservices@pemberton.ca for questions about the parcel map.\n- Save the address, zone code and relevant section with your sketch. Give those details to planning when asking about an amendment, a site-specific provision or a boundary that is hard to read.\n- Read the applicable provisions in [Zoning Bylaw No. 832, 2018 (PDF)](https://www.pemberton.ca/public/download/files/322446).","sources":[{"url":"https://www.pemberton.ca/public/download/files/251768","title":"Using the Village geographic information system (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-09"},{"url":"https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/b6d340fe06ff4337bdf93c47d16034cc","title":"Village of Pemberton map","accessed":"2026-11-09"},{"url":"https://www.pemberton.ca/public/download/files/322446","title":"Zoning Bylaw No. 832, 2018 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-09"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-09","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 5 of 5 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/pemberton/zoning-lookup/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/pemberton/zoning-lookup.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/pemberton/zoning-lookup.json"}}
