The District of Port Edward's Development Permit process ensures that new developments align with community goals and local regulations. Applicants must submit a completed Development Permit Application Form, including property details, project descriptions, required supporting documents, and applicable fees. The process is designed to review proposals for consistency with zoning, environmental considerations, and design guidelines. Once submitted, applications are carefully assessed by staff, and approvals are granted based on compliance with the District’s Development Permit Procedures Bylaw No. 543, 2013. For more information and to access the required forms, please visit our website or contact the District Office.
Temporary Use Permit (TUP):
If the intent is to use the property temporarily outside of the zoning, you must apply for a Temporary Use Permit, which would allow Council to consider permitting this non-conforming use for a limited period, subject to conditions.
