The zone is for railways and the operations that go with them (s. 12.3.1). T1 land is railway and transit corridor, so a lot here is rarely for sale (our reading); ask the City what a lot here may be used for before you buy.

No homes here, so no short-term rental; ask the City.

Parking and bicycle parking by use (Section 6, s. 6.10); landscaping under s. 5.2.10 (ss. 12.3.4, 12.3.5).

Lots listed in Schedule B have their own site-specific rules; ask the City whether this lot is one.

Gaming, firearms sales, adult entertainment, pawnbrokers and medical cannabis production are prohibited in every zone (s. 5.1.2).

Sections 5 (general regulations) and 6 (parking) of the bylaw also apply, and 5.2.10 for landscaping.

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 Port Moody's planning department before you buy or build.
