6 rulings that cover more than one lot, such as a lot split or a building on each of two lots, are not listed here, because each line shows the size and the homes of one lot.
Read the whole city's registerWard boundaries and the rules change, and none of this is a zoning opinion on a specific lot. Confirm what an address allows with a TESA Scan.
