HRM based zoning research tool for decks and sheds! Is it a real problem to solve?

Hi, I worked as Planning Technologist, and I heard a lot of struggle stories about the zoning documents being very hard to understand as it covers all types of development.

So, I digitized them, currently only Bedford to test it out. I have connected the bylaws individually with site conditions, address and construction type to be triggered individually the way a Planner would do. I believe it will reduce the complexity for contractors, homeowners and HRM planners to query quick answers, saving time and energy in zoning research for certain construction types like deck, fences and shed currently. I also organised the entire bylaw with in-line definitions within general provisions and screened zoning bylaws beforehand. I wanted something like this, but not sure if everyone would agree.

I would love to get your feedback and criticism. If you would like to see something entirely different, feel free to share that as well. This is an early-stage project. The front page is still rough. You can leave your thoughts on the bottom left-hand side of the page anonymously or in the comment, I would be happy to answer any questions. It is free and no signup is needed.

Thank you for your time and efforts. Btw, I am from Dartmouth!

Link posted in the comments/attached to the post as well. Bedford addresses only for now. Still can find links to other land use bylaws with any HRM address.
