Planning application forms
Sometimes there are situations where the zone of a property doesn't meet the property owner's needs or project goals. In these situations, we encourage you to arrange a pre-consultation meeting with our Town Planner to determine which planning application meets your project needs.
Part lot control application
The Part Lot Control exemption by-law is generally used for the purpose of reconfiguring existing lots or blocks within a registered plan of subdivision to facilitate development. Exemption from part-lot control is appropriate when a large number of land transactions are involved, but the resulting changes will not have cause any changes to the character or nature of the subdivision. Part-lot control exemptions are also used for semi-detached or townhouse developments. Utilizing the part lot control exemption allows a process to ensure that common walls of multi-unit buildings are located directly on property lines. Fill out the Part Lot Application Form and submit it to the Planning Department.
You should also review our planning fees to see how much each planning application costs.
