Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. This text is the posted final version of Bylaw 705 (July 2022, adoption date left blank), not the signed scan, and may not include later amendments. The signed scan is at https://portmcneill.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/No.-705-2021-Zoning-Bylaw.pdf. The bylaw's zone table lists the MHI zone only inside the MI section, and the zoning map legend also shows A-2, MIC and a Proposed Zoning list; those are not separate sections in this text. 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.
