When is a Planning Application required?
A MINOR VARIANCE is required when a building or structure does not comply with the provisions of the Zoning By-law. Applicants can submit a Minor Variance when minor amendments are required to the development standards and provisions in the Zoning By-law.
OFFICIAL PLAN/ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENTS are generally required when an applicant is proposing a land use that does not conform or comply to the Municipality’s planning policies and regulations. A Zoning By-law Amendment is also required when a proposal is not considered to be “minor”.
A CONSENT application is required to divide (sever) land into new lots, boundary adjustments, corrections to deeds or property descriptions, and establish easements or rights-of-way.
