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 copy is for convenience only; users are asked to refer to the Zoning Bylaw as amended to verify accuracy and completeness. Zones have no section numbers (headings only), shown under Part 8.
