Development Variance Permit

When a property owner would like to make changes that do not align with the Zoning Bylaw and other Village bylaws, they have an option to apply for a Development Variance Permit to seek an exemption from the requirements. This can include changes to the setbacks or building height restrictions. Applicants can submit a Development Variance Permit application at the same time as other applicable rezoning or development permits for a proposed project. An approved Development Variance Permit is registered on the title of the property at the Land Title Office.  Prior to submitting a development variance permit application, we recommend that you consult with Village staff by emailing cboit@islengineering.com or phoning Village Hall at 604-469-9877 to make sure that you have all of the necessary paperwork. This will help you save time during the application process.

Currently there are no Development Variance Permit applications under review.
