Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Schedule "B" (the zoning maps, Maps 1 to 13) is at the end of the same PDF as images with no text layer; sections 13 and 37 are blank placeholders and CD-5 and CD-10 are listed as "Pending" in Table 1. 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.
