The consolidation is for convenience only (the amending bylaws are consolidated with the original). Deleted zones CD-A, CD-B, CD-C, CD-D, CD-F, CD-I, CD-J and CD-P (Bylaw 2986, 2024) are not listed. Site-specific CD zones are in section 16. 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.
