Apply For A Rezoning Application

The Zoning Bylaw regulates how a property can be used, what type and size of buildings may be constructed, the size of lots that can be created, required landscaping, and required parking for vehicles and bicycles. The purpose of zoning is to ensure that certain types of land uses are located in appropriate areas. The different zones are generally grouped as residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional. 

A rezoning application amends the Zoning Bylaw. When a development proposal is not in compliance with provisions of the Zoning Bylaw and changes to components such as land use and density are required for the development to proceed, a rezoning application is necessary. Any rezoning must be in accordance with the Official Community Plan (OCP). If the rezoning application is not consistent with the OCP, an application to amend the OCP may also be required.

Public open houses are recommended for land use bylaw amendments such as rezoning applications for commercial, industrial, or multiple-family developments (eight units or greater) located within 100 m of land zoned for residential use.

Public Open House

A public open house provides the applicant with an opportunity to engage with residents in the surrounding area by providing information on the proposal, discussing and answering any related questions, and obtaining feedback so that potential issues or concerns can be identified and addressed before the application goes to Council.

Please see the Guide to Hosting a Public Open House for details.
