Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The District's consolidation is for convenience only and is not admissible in court unless certified by the Corporate Officer; the original bylaws prevail. Amendments adopted after May 2025 are not in this text.
