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)."},"source_url":"https://islandstrust.bc.ca/document/ssi-ltc-bylaw-no-355/#page=101","place":{"path":"ca/bc/salt-spring-island","name":"Salt Spring Island","region":{"code":"bc","name":"British Columbia"},"country":{"code":"ca","name":"Canada"}},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/salt-spring-island/zoning/r5/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/salt-spring-island/zoning/r5.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/salt-spring-island/zoning/r5.json","index":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/salt-spring-island/zoning/index.json"}}
