The boundaries of the zones are shown on the Zoning Maps in Schedule A.
Where the boundary of a zone is uncertain, it shall be located based on the following:
Where a zone boundary is shown to be generally parallel to or, as an extension to any of the features listed above, it shall be considered as following that feature.
Where the development authority is unable to determine a zone boundary or overlay boundary by applying the above provisions, they shall determine the applicable boundary in a manner consistent with the provisions of this bylaw and with the degree of detail as to measurements and directions as circumstances require. The decision of the development authority may be appealed to the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board.
Where a road or lane is closed, it shall have the same zone as the abutting property. When different zones govern abutting lands, the center line of the road or lane shall be the boundary. If the road or lane is consolidated with an adjacent lot, the designation of that lot shall apply to affected portions of the closed lane or road.
For each of the zones and overlays in Parts 7 to 16 there shall be a set of uses comprised of one, some or all of the following:
