Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Read the linked consolidation and check amendments with planning before relying on a zone for a project. A sheet lists only the rules traced to that zone. Additional definitions, exceptions and general provisions may apply. 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.
