Zoning shown from the City of Port Moody's ViewPort data, downloaded 2026-11-07. The City's data portal describes this layer as zoning as reflected from the 2018 Bylaw 2937 with additional changes as amendments are passed, so the Zoning Bylaw is the legal definition of zoning districts.
Zones in Port Moody
From City of Port Moody Zoning Bylaw, 2018, No. 2937 (consolidated for convenience, includes amendments to July 14, 2026). The City's PDF (listed as BL2937-C on its Bylaws page) is "Consolidated for Convenience". Many older CD zones (CD1 to CD5, CD2R, CD10 to CD15) are listed in s. 3.1 but their text is not in this document; the bylaw says to refer to the original enacting bylaws, so those entries have no lines. CD81, CD94 and CD95 appear in Schedule D but not in the s. 3.1 list. CD zone text is in Schedule D (lines for CD zones are inside Schedule D). Each zone has its own page with its uses, lot sizes, heights and setbacks. Zone pages are drafts taken from the bylaw text and not yet reviewed by a person.
