Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The District's consolidated version is for convenience only and should be read with the complete document. The District also links the same file at https://tofino.civicweb.net/document/1425. Zones are numbered as Parts (for example Part 41E); Parts 40 to 43 are site-specific comprehensive development zones. 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.
