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 Zoning & Land Use page also links an excerpted zoning map PDF (Schedule B). The Schedule B pages inside this PDF are headed "Zoning Bylaw No. XXXX of 2025". Table 6.1 of the bylaw omits zone C-4A, but section 25 of the bylaw establishes it. 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.
