Development Variance Permit

A Development Variance Permit (DVP) allows for variances to requirements set out in the District’s bylaws such as the Zoning Bylaw. A variance, whether granted through a DVP or through the Board of Variance, may not vary the use or density of land. Changes to land use or density of a site must be done through a bylaw amendment which may require an OCP or Zoning Amendment.

We want to ensure your application is clear and complete therefore prior to submission we encourage you to speak with one of our planners regarding your proposal. Staff have prepared the following forms to help guide you through the application requirements.
