Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The City says this version is consolidated for convenience. Zone sections that share a heading cover variant codes (AR3m, RS1m, RS2m, RM9r, C1c/C1l, C2c, C4c/C4l/C4lc, C6c/C6l/C6lc, M1n, M2n, M3n, M5n). Sections 10.5 (deleted), 15.13 (Z13 not in the bylaw) and 15.18 (Z18, deleted by Bylaw 9466) are not zones. Schedule A, the zoning map, is the zoning layer in PGMap. 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.
