  • Lot schedule including frontage at street line and at 7.5 m back from the street line, area of each part shown on the reference plan, and use of each part such as easements and rights of way
  • Certification from a consulting engineer (including engineer’s seal) advising that the proposed lot lines do not conflict with the location of lateral services, drainage plans or proposed site plan

City review, payment and decision

Pre-screen review

After you upload the required information, we’ll do a pre-screen review to ensure the minimum requirements are met. If everything is correct, we’ll let you know what additional user fees and charges apply.

If we still need more information, you’ll be sent an email with your pre-screen corrections. You will need to make all pre-screen corrections to move ahead with the application process.

Payment

After the pre-screen review, you’ll receive an email to pay your fees. Submit your fee calculation worksheet for approval before you make a payment.

Department review and approval

Your application will be reviewed by the relevant City departments and agencies to make sure it meets all the requirements. You can view all of the comments in your project status report in ePlans.

If any of the review groups withhold your application, you’ll need to resubmit with revisions or provide additional information. We’ll email you what to do next.

Once the by-law is approved by Council, you’ll be notified by email. The by-law will then be registered by the Office of the City Solicitor.

The by-law is valid for three years. Any land transfers must occur within that time.
