Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The Town says its zoning bylaw covers the part of View Royal south of and including Thetis Lake Park; the areas north of Thetis Lake remain under the zoning adopted by the Capital Regional District before the Town was incorporated in 1988 (that CRD bylaw is not in this file). Sub-zones CD-8A to 8E and CD-9A to 9D are written inside the CD-8 and CD-9 sections. The zone list also names C-2 (Apartment Commercial), which has no section in the body of the bylaw. 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.
