Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. 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). 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.
