Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The consolidation is for convenience only and is not a legal document; certified copies of the original bylaws should be consulted. The City says the online copy may not be the latest version. The zoning map is Schedule A/B of the bylaw (separate PDF). 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.
