Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Each Comprehensive Development (CD) zone is a separate site-specific by-law attached to Part 52 (listed on the Surrey map by lot as "CD" with its by-law number); those by-laws are not written out in this PDF. 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.
