Determine Your Property’s Subdivision Potential

Subdivision

Determine your property’s subdivision potential by following these steps:

1. Review your property information

Use the GeoSource Mapping Tool to view:

• Zoning
• Approximate lot dimensions
• Site features like watercourses, trees, and road access
  • Activate the Environment layer to view watercourses and classifications.

Property details in GeoSource are for reference only. Confirm accuracy with a BC land surveyor (BCLS).

2. Confirm subdivision eligibility

Your lot must meet the requirements outlined in:

• Zoning Bylaw

See Section 110 for minimum lot area, frontage, and depth by zone.

• Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw

Outlines all servicing requirements (roads, sanitary sewer, water, drainage, landscaping, tree protection, etc.)

• • Minimum required service levels are identified in Schedule A
• Subdivision Policy

Identifies additional considerations used by the Approving Officer when reviewing applications.

3. Understand the costs

Residential subdivision applications are subject to payment of:

• Development cost charges
• 5% neighbourhood park land fees
• Other charges where applicable
