Development Permits<\/strong> are issued by the Town and authorize the construction, development or use of a property. They include the plans and applicable conditions of approval. The approval process guides ‘what’ goes ‘where’ on a property. New construction, structural additions, demolition, the use of signage, and change of use. A number of things don’t require a permit but must still meet Land Use Bylaw requirements for such things as setbacks from property line, height restrictions, visibility and site coverage.<\/p>\n
