The date the official copy is current to is not stated.\n\nFor each zone the bylaw sets permitted principal and secondary uses, minimum parcel area and frontage, density, setbacks, building height, accessory building size and height, and site coverage. General sections add fence, landscaping, sign and parking rules.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Find your parcel on Schedule B, the Zoning Bylaw Map, in the bylaw.\n2.
