3.1.4 The symbols listed in subsection 3.1.1 of this Section may be used to refer to buildings and
structures, the uses of lots, buildings and structures permitted by this By-Law in the said
zones, and whenever in this By-Law the word "Zone" is used, preceded by any of the said
symbols, such zones shall mean any area within the Corporation within the scope of this

3.1.5 Where the Zone symbol designation on certain lands as shown on Schedule "A" is followed
by a dash and a number, (for example MR-1), special provisions shall apply to such lands
and such special provisions will be found by reference to that section of the By-Law which
deals with that particular zone. Lands designated in this manner shall be subject to all the

3.1.6 Where the Zone symbol is followed by a holding symbol denoted (H), no person shall use
such lands except for such purpose permitted in the respective zone in the By-Law, and,
further, no person shall erect, enlarge, extend or reconstruct any new or existing building or
structure except where such building or structure existed as of the date of passing of this
By-Law and the existing building or structure is a use permitted within the zone.
