Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The Town calls this the "Combined Version"; the PDF does not say what amendment it is current to. The text file has a typo in the R5 heading ("Section 6.4.115"). 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.
