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. 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.
