In some cases, where development plans do not meet certain regulations, it may be possible to request a variance to relax some of the development-related bylaw regulations.
You are encouraged to contact the Planning Department to discuss your proposal and determine if a Development Variance Permit (DVP) is required. DVPs must be approved and issued by resolution of Council prior to any construction taking place on property.
For more information on the DP and DVP Application process see the Guide for DPs and DVPs
