Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. Zoning amendment Bylaws 975 (map, 2025) and 979 (2025) are posted separately on the Village bylaws page and are not in this consolidation. In this bylaw zones are not written as separate sections. Each zone's uses are a column in Table 5-1 (pdf pages 49-51, lines 1984-2110), its dimensions a row in Table 6-1 (pdf pages 61-62, lines 2420-2560), and its intent a paragraph in s. 3.3 (the lines given below). CD1 and CD2 have extra requirements in ss. 3.4 and 3.5. 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.
