NOTE:
The text was copied from the City's online Code (as of March 2007). In the interest of space and clarity, the excepts presented here contain only text relavent to Victoria Park (for example, Industial zoning districts are edited out). A series of dots ( . . . . ) indicates where a passage was deleted. Often there will be a link to the full text of the Code on the City's website, in case you wish to examine the edited passages. On the "Zoning Districts" page, sections of the text have been reorganized to consolidate all of the regulations pertaining to a particular zoning category. Similarly, on the "Parking" page, the table indicating minimum number of parking spaces has been rearranged to separate residential from commercial requirements. Additional links have also been inserted to refer you to related items in the Code. In a few instances, the text has been paraphrased, this is shown in brackets [paraphrased text]. Otherwise the text is original.
Some pages contain an "index" on the left side to help you find references on that page to a particular topic. A general index of topics on all pages is being prepared and will appear here shortly.
