Love it! Can someone give me a quick lesson on permits? So this is a development permit. After that is building permit which means construction can start? Does that usually come quickly after?
What is before development permit?
Development Permit approves the building plans with focus on approving use/occupancy type and size ensuring compliance to Zoning By-laws mainly.
Building permit follows with review of building plans ensuring compliance to Safety Codes and other City-Bylaws. Building permits are sometimes broken up into separate project stages. We will probably see this soon.
Final occupancy is provided when the Safety Codes Officer is satisfied with the building and when all engineering approvals/certificates are submitted.
