Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. No amendments were found on the Village's planning page; the page lists a second copy of the bylaw (a93d86_d217a583...pdf) with minor wording differences in the landscaping and fence section. 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.
