Community Development

The Planning Section of the Community Development Department is responsible for land use planning and review and approval of applications, and environmental initiatives.

The Department handles re-zonings, Development Permits, Development Variance Permits, Official Community Plan amendments, Subdivisions, Agricultural Land Reserve applications, and liquor license administration. Its mandate is to provide quality "one-stop" service to customers and to work actively with customers to find solutions and solve problems.  This Department tackles emerging planning issues, identifying and exploring trends and issues, developing forecasts, and proposing and assessing policy responses. It is also responsible for the Official Community Plan which is the blueprint for land development for the future.
