Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The Islands Trust says the consolidation is for convenience only and is not to be construed as a legal document. The zone names for R, RU1-RU3, RW1-RW2, Ri, S1-S8 are written out in the bylaw only as column codes or in generic lists, so names for those are derived from the bylaw's usage. The CRD zoning layer also carries R13 and CF3, which the bylaw text does not list (it lists R1 to R12 and CF1, CF2). 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.
