Complete pre-consultation if needed
Pre-consultation is required prior to applying for:
- Zoning By-law and/or Official Plan amendment
- Draft Plan of Subdivision or Condominium
- Consent to Sever
- Site Plan Approval or Amendment
Pre-consultation is not required prior to applying for:
- Minor variance
- Permission to enlarge or change a legal non-conforming use
Although not required, pre-consultation is recommended prior to applying for a Minor Variance. This application tends to be technical in nature, and having a planner review your application for accuracy can be helpful.
You can Request Planning Pre-Consultation to start this process. Before starting the process, it is recommended to first find zoning and property information.
Find fees and timelines
Fees are charged on planning applications to help recover the cost of administering planning services in the city. The timelines to complete a planning approval can widely vary, dependent on the complexity of the project.
Submit Committee of Adjustment application
The Committee of Adjustment (COA) is the approval authority for permissions to expand or change a legal non-conforming use, minor variances to the Zoning By-law, and consents to sever land. The Committee is made up of six members who are appointed by Council on a 4-year term. Committee members typically have knowledge or professions related to land use and development. Download the COA guide for more background.
Applications must be submitted approximately five weeks prior to the meeting date.
