Application Process

STEP 1 – Make a Pre-Consultation Request on Cloudpermit

Register an account on Cloudpermit and submit your request. Staff will confirm application requirements specific to your property and proposed subdivision. Generally, the following documentation is required:

• Subdivision Plan Drawing

• Development Permit Application (Required for subdivisions within any Development Permit Area (DPA) – can be submitted after receiving the Preliminary Subdivision Review)

STEP 2 – Submit your Application on Cloudpermit

Staff will send out internal referrals and confirm that the required application materials have been provided and are compliant with District bylaws. Staff will contact the applicant if there are any deficiencies or changes required.

STEP 3 – Preliminary Subdivision Review

If an application meets requirements, staff will issue a Preliminary Subdivision Review (PSR) to the applicant. A PSR outlines the conditions and fees required for construction and / or subdivision approval.

STEP 4 – Construction Approval

Once construction drawings have been approved, the applicant will be issued a Works & Services Agreement and construction approval.

STEP 5 – Final Approval

When all of the conditions outlined in the PSR are met & inspected, and documentation/fees are submitted to the District, the subdivision shall be approved. Documentation must meet District standards, subject to approval by the Director of Public Works and the Approving Officer.
