Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The District says its web copies are provided as-is and the certified copy at the District office is the only valid one. Zones in Part 5 are not numbered; the zone maps are Schedule B (District) and Schedule C (Townsite). PRPA land use is under federal jurisdiction. 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.
