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.
