## How it works

The Village's Public Cadastral Land Use Web Map (Radium Hot Springs Public Webmap) shows each parcel's zone, zoning bylaw, Official Community Plan designation and any development permit areas. The Zoning Map is also posted in the Village Document Centre.

For each zone it sets permitted principal and accessory uses, minimum parcel size and frontage, maximum parcel coverage, density (dwelling units per parcel), building height, and setbacks from each parcel line.

## Steps

1. Open the Village web map from the Maps and GIS page.
2. Search by civic address, PID or BC Assessment folio number.

4. Find that zone in the Zoning Bylaw and read its section.
