Before Submitting an Application
Prior to submitting a Development Application, the Owner/Agent must have a pre-submission meeting with Development Planning Section Staff. The purpose of this meeting is for the applicant to present a development proposal on a preliminary basis so as to identify required materials for a full and complete submission of a development application(s). This is of assistance to both the applicant and the City as it identifies at the outset the submission requirements for a complete application and ensures applications can be processed efficiently.
Email the Planning and Regulatory Services Department to schedule a Pre-Submission Meeting.
A Pre-Submission Meeting is not required for Part Lot Control Exemption, Consent, Minor Variance, Sign By-law Variance, Sign By-law Amendment, Municipal Addressing or Street Naming applications.
