Cannabis stores stay 150 m from P3 (school) lots and 100 m from each other; liquor stores 1 km from each other (ss. 3.13, 3.14).

The zone doesn't list short-term rental (stays under 30 days), so homes here are let for 30 days or more (ss. 1.3.1, 2.2).

Fences up to 1.2 m in a required front or side-street yard and 2 m elsewhere (s. 5.7).

Up to two for storage, each at most 12.1 m long, under the accessory building limits, never lived in and never holding fuel or explosives (s. 3.11.4).

Beside a provincial highway, buildings and structures stand at least 4.5 m from that lot line (3 m where a public lane gives secondary access); less needs the Ministry of Transportation's consent and a variance (s. 3.15).

Below the 200-year flood level, floors used for living, business or storing goods in multi-unit or small-scale multi-unit housing and in garden or carriage suites sit above that level (s. 3.16).

A lot registered before this bylaw that is smaller or narrower than the zone's minimum may still be developed to the zone's density (s. 2.1.1).

Site-specific exceptions listed in the bylaw by legal description can add or change uses for one property, and development permit areas, the ALR and building rules apply on top. Confirm with the City of Kamloops' planning and development department before you buy or build.
