93 zone definitions. 21 with development rules (height, FAR, setbacks).

The municipality, located in the Sea-to-Sky corridor between Vancouver and Pemberton in southwestern British Columbia, employs specific zone codes for different land uses including Athletes' Centre zones (AC1-AC3), Commercial Core zones (CC1-CC4), Commercial Local zones (CL1-CL5), and multiple Industrial zones covering processing, service, and light industrial uses. Specific height, setback, and secondary suite regulations for residential zones are not detailed in the available zone designation data.
