Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The consolidated copy is to be used for convenience only; users are asked to refer to the Zoning Bylaw as amended from time to time. CD6 (s. 15.7) is in the bylaw only as a stub saying final reading and adoption has not yet taken place, so it is not listed. 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.
