Source: Zoning Bylaw No. 8200 (Saanich, September 2003; office consolidation current on the District website, amendments include B. 10058 2025), s. 1015 (read 2026-11-07)

Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The District publishes the whole bylaw as one PDF and a separate Zoning Bylaw Amendment List (https://www.saanich.ca/assets/Local~Government/Documents/Planning/Zoning%20Bylaw%208200%20Amendments.pdf). Each zone is a numbered Schedule (e.g. Schedule 101 = zone A-1); the 'section' field holds the schedule number. 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.
