EXISTING BY-LAW -- One (1) certified copy of the entire main section of the existing by-law within which each proposed amendment occurs.

By-law amendments must be understood to mean even minor technical changes in current by-laws, amendments to tables showing uses permitted in ' different zoning districts and amendments which re-codify, reorganize or renumber existing by-laws previously approved by the Attorney General.
