Book a Pre-Consultation

Land Use Inquiry

Do you have questions about a property? A land use inquiry can be conducted if you are trying to find out more about a property. Fill out the land use inquiry form and submit it to Building and Planning Staff. This process is more informal and will result in an email response or a phone call to discuss your inquiry, and potential next steps within two weeks.

If your inquiry results in the need for a planning application such as a rezoning, minor variance or site plan approval, a pre-consultation is recommended.  For more information regarding pre-consultations, see below.

Pre-consultations

Before submitting a planning application, you will want to meet with staff to talk about your project and priorities. A pre-consultation takes place before a formal application is submitted.
