Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The text is from the Feb 17, 2026 Council agenda package (item G-1, pages 48-116 of the package PDF) because the posted bylaw (https://portclements.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Zoning-Bylaw.pdf) is a scan with no text layer. The bylaw was read a third time and adopted on February 17, 2026. pdf_page numbers below are page numbers of the agenda package.
