Pre-Application Review

A pre-application review is recommended prior to submitting Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment, rezoning, and heritage revitalization agreement (HRA) applications. This preliminary review process provides a coordinated response from relevant City departments to help identify major development considerations, as can be determined from the preliminary concept plans and proposed development description submitted. You will also be provided the opportunity to present your tentative proposal to Council for their early input.

From submission to presentation to Council this review process typically takes two to three months.

The pre-application review process does not include the following:

• referrals to outside bodies or organizations
• suggested or implied results of your official application
