The municipality's zoning bylaw establishes specific zone types including Core Commercial (C-1), Arterial Commercial (C-2), Neighbourhood Commercial (C-3), and various agricultural zones (A-1, A-3, A-5, A-6, A-7) for different farming operations. Residential zoning comprises 16 designations including Residential Corridor (R-C) and zones within comprehensive development areas such as Gateway Park (CD-1), Carriage Pointe (CD-2), and The Generation (CD-8). Secondary suite regulations and specific dimensional requirements such as height and setback limits are set within the full bylaw text and vary by individual zone designation.
