Welcome to the online portal to request a pre-application meeting. Follow the steps below to ensure a smooth and successful meeting request process. If your current request times out as you try to meet any criteria, your progress is saved for 60 days. You can find your saved request progress on the eApply Dashboard.

A pre-application meeting is needed for an official community plan amendment, rezoning or zoning bylaw amendment, development permit, development variance permit, temporary use permit, and subdivision applications.

To ensure your request is processed as quickly as possible, it is important to have all the required documentation submitted along with your request. A pre-application meeting gives the applicant/owner the opportunity to present their proposal to City staff and go over any issues/requirements that may need to be addressed prior to formal submission. It also gives City staff the opportunity to answer questions or concerns the requestor may have, and to identify any outstanding items that are required as part of the submission.

Step 1: Review Requirements / Understanding the Process

• Preliminary Concept Plans (see respective application requirements above for plan requirements)

Note: Files must be in PDF format. Photos or screenshots of documents and plans converted to PDFs will not be accepted.

Step 3: Create/Login to a MyCity Profile

• Once the request is completed, a pre-application meeting number will be issued. You can view this number along with all folders held by the account holder in your MyCity profile.

Note: The pre-application meeting number given out at the end of this request is for reference only. Please allow 3-5 business days for confirmation of your meeting date. Your pre-application meeting will be booked at least 10-15 business days in advance. Following the meeting, staff will provide any preliminary comments and next steps in writing via email. It may take up to 3 weeks after the pre-application meeting date to receive all comments, depending on the complexity of the proposal.
