Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. This is the original 2020 bylaw. The Village also posts Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 667, 2024 (adds small-scale multi-unit housing to R-1, R-2, RM-1 and RU-1 and secondary-suite definitions; text layer OK) and No. 660, 2023 (image-only PDF, no text layer), plus earlier amendments 610, 612 and 616 of 2019 that amended the older Bylaw 176. No consolidated version is published. The PDF text layer has some character errors (for example "R-l" for R-1 and "1-1" for I-1). 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.
