Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The District says this consolidation is unofficial and for convenience only; the original bylaws govern. CD-1 to CD-6 sections are partly historical reference (CD-5A and an earlier CD-6 are deleted). 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.
