Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The City also posts each zone as a separate PDF and keeps a table of amendments at https://www.portalberni.ca/zoning-bylaw-no-5105-table-amendments. The CD6 zone (6123 Russell Place) is listed in section 5.1 but has no section in this PDF, so it is not in the zone list below. 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.
