It repealed Zoning Bylaw No. 184 (1990) and its amendments. It sets fourteen zones: R-1, R-2, RM-1, MH-2, C-1, C-2, M-1, M-2, M-2-A, M-3, I-1, I-2, P, RS and A-1. Each zone sets permitted uses, minimum parcel size, site coverage, setbacks and building height. ## Steps 1. Ask the Village Office for the zone of your parcel, or look at the Zoning Map attached to the bylaw. 2. Read your zone's section in the bylaw for permitted uses, setbacks and height. 3. Call 250-557-4295 or email office@portclements.ca to confirm before you plan work. ## Good to know - The zoning map is a schedule signed by the Mayor and Village Administrator. No online map tool was found. - The bylaw's table of contents calls the map Schedule A while section 7.2 says Schedule B, so ask for the current map. - The standalone bylaw PDF on the Village's bylaw page has no readable text, so the bylaw is cited here from the council agenda package. ## Zones 15 zones are listed from [Village of Port Clements Zoning Bylaw No. 444, 2024 (adopted February 17, 2026)](https://portclements.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/February-17-2026-Regular-Council-Meeting-Agenda-Package.pdf).
