Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. This is the original 2000 bylaw text. The District posts amending bylaws separately and not folded in: No. 6 1998 (an older CRD bylaw), No. 123, 2013 (adds single family dwelling as permitted use in CW, s. 4.1.A.1(a)iii) and No. 125, 2013 (adds RV seasonal temporary dwelling rules, s. 3.13(g),(h)). Neither adds a zone. 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.
