Site Plan Approval and Building Permits

Depending upon the scale, complexity and information requirements of an application, the site plan approval process may be completed in six to eight weeks. Complex applications involving a public participation meeting may take an additional four to six weeks.

Once a Site Plan is approved, a Building Permit must be obtained. The Building Permit is required to begin construction of new facilities or alteration of existing facilities. The City's Building Division reviews all applications for building permits to ensure compliance with zoning by-laws and building code requirements.

Buildings have gone up in as little as 168 days, and the city administration is very willing to work with clients to meet their needs. The LEDC will help facilitate. Dancor's Testimonial
