Starting January 1, 2024, a new development permit enquiry service will be in effect for the City of Vancouver.
This new optional service for conditional development permit enquiries will provide early feedback and guidance on proposals to help applicants make complete and successful submissions of a development permit application. Staff will help individuals identify high-level design and technical challenges and provide advice and direction on form of development, variances, relaxations, and areas of discretion within City zoning regulations, as well as input from other key departmental review groups. The objective is to support project readiness and certainty in advance of submission of a development permit application.
