Source: Zoning Bylaw Number 880, 2013 (consolidated for convenience, including amending bylaws up to and including Bylaw No. 1032, 2022), s. 20 (read 2026-11-08)

Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The consolidation has no legislative sanction; the original bylaw must be consulted for interpreting and applying the law. Later amending bylaws (for example 1039/2023 and 1040/2023 CD3 Culbertson Way, 1048/2024, 1049/2024 Business Park, 1051/2024, 1064/2025) are posted separately and are not in this consolidation, so zones created only by them (such as CD3) are not listed. 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.
