Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Consolidated for convenience. Zones are NOT written as one section each: the zone list is Table 3-1 and intents are s. 3.2 (text.txt lines 1256-1360, PDF p. 33-35); permitted uses for all zones are in Table 5-1 Principal Use Table (lines 1941-2131, PDF p. 49-); dimensional standards for all zones are in Table 6-1 (lines 2572-2677, PDF p. 63-65). Schedules B to E (zoning maps) are at the end of the 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.
