Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The consolidation is printed by authority of the Corporate Officer under section 139 of the Community Charter. Zones marked deleted in the bylaw (RM8, RM32, RR3, TP1 to TP3, CR3, CR5, CR6, LNP, LNL) are not listed. 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.
