To initiate your application, submit a pre-application meeting request in ePlans. You can choose to waive your pre-application meeting later.
After we receive your pre-application meeting request, we’ll review the drawings and documents.
Drawings and documents should be saved in the correct page orientation. Each drawing plan sheet should be saved as an individual file.
File names for all drawings should include the:
For example: A100 Site Plan.
Log into ePlans and follow the steps to create an application request and pay the administration fee.
You’ll receive an email that includes your temporary project number and a request to upload your drawings and documents.
Review the terms of reference for details on the required information for each study, report or plan that you need to submit with your application.
Some or all of the forms and schedules may also be required.
After you upload the drawings and documents, we’ll do a pre-screen review to check that the application meets requirements. This usually takes 3 to 5 business days.
If we need more information, we’ll email you. The application will move forward when you make all of the pre-screen corrections.
After we complete the pre-screen review, we’ll email you to let you know it’s time to pay your fees.
Submit your fee calculation worksheet for approval before you make a payment.
When your full payment is processed, we’ll create your application and email you an application number. We’ll then review your application to make sure it’s complete. You’ll receive an email:
All relevant City departments and agencies will review your application to make sure it meets requirements. You can view comments in your project status report in ePlans.
City staff will then compile a report on your application and present it to the Planning and Development Committee in a statutory public meeting. You may be requested to provide a presentation to the committee.
If you have applied for an Official Plan amendment and rezoning, this will occur within about 120 days. If you applied for a rezoning only, this will occur within about 90 days.
The Planning and Development Committee will make a decision on your application based on the report prepared by staff. Staff will typically recommend one of three potential options:
If your application is refused, you may be able to appeal.
If you receive draft approval for a plan of subdivision, you’ll need to work with the City to meet conditions of approval before your subdivision can be registered with the Ontario Land Registry Office.
If you have questions about application comments, contact your reviewers directly. The phone number and email address for each reviewer is located on the first page of the project status report in ePlans.
