1 INCLUDE SITE-SPECIFIC BEST PRACTICES MY NOTES: COMMON QUESTIONS HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE? The length of the process depends both on the type and size of the project and how robust the application package is in meeting best practice. The more thoughtful the application is in regards to the Form and Character guidelines and best practices, the faster approval can be. Working with Staff is always welcomed prior to and during your application and the sooner, the better. In general, the review process will be approximately 4 to 6 weeks for small proposals and longer for more robust or drastic changes in use. If possible, we will review the Building Permit Application in concordance with the Form & Character Use Permit Application to expedite the process. DO I HAVE TO INCLUDE ALL GUIDELINES AND BEST PRACTICES? A GUIDE TO FORM & CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT PERMITS No, the exercise is meant to include as many as possible without being over-bearing. Some items may just not work within the context of the development and some may provide benefits over others resulting in picking the best choice. Every property and use is unique and it requires a question of balance, specifically with the surrounding built form as integration with other properties is a key factor to Form and Character. If you have questions, Staff are always available to aid you in the decision-making process! OVERVIEW This guide is designed to aid in the understanding of the Form and Character Development Permit and the process es associated with obtaining one. RELATED PUBLICATIONS 1. Zoning Bylaw Official Community Plan (Bylaw 1165) WHAT IS AN FORM AND CHARACTER The Form and Character Development Permit is a permit which establishes guidelines for the development of multi-family, commercial and industrial development.

2 WHEN DO I NEED A FORM AND CHARACTER You will require a Form and Character Development Permit if you are planning to either construct a new structure or renovate an existing structure within the Form and Character Development Permit Area. This includes all Multi-family, Commercial and Industrial properties with limited exceptions. WHEN DO I NOT NEED A FORM AND CHARACTER There are a number of circumstances where you may not need a Form and Character Development Permit. For instance, you will not need a permit if the renovations you are planning are entirely interior or exterior work on a building or structure that is not visible from any road right-of-way, adjacent park or residential property. If you are unsure if you are able to gain an exemption from the Permit, bring in your detailed site plan and Staff will help you determine your eligibility. developing the site and buildings. HUMAN SCALE - Use windows and overhangs to break up the monolithic monotony of structures PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE - Use landscaping to FLOOR PLANS - Showing scale, natural and artificial light sources, entries and public spaces, loading and storage areas and any elements that connect the inside to the outside ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN - The quality and detail of any component that adds ecological benefit or reduces the carbon footprint of the development. Once we receive your application package, Staff will review the plans and may request further information for specific items or ask for specific changes to the plan. Once Staff is satisfied that the development positively contributes to the Form and Character of an area, a permit will be issued. Permits may contain conditions and request guarantees for performance. RETAINING the services of an architect, engineer, planner or other professional for your application is highly recommended. The submission of a high-quality application package will assist in the successful and timely consideration of your Form and Character Permit Application. application fees for multiple permits if you applying for them at the same time. There is a 25% discount on the total fees if applied for the same property and project and at the same time. HOW DO I OBTAIN A FORM AND CHARACTER BEFORE YOU APPLY First, check with Staff if you require a Form and Character Development Permit. Then, use the following guidelines, and review the Official Community Plan, to review your plans before applying for a permit: AUTHENTICITY - Incorporate building elements that are distinct to our region s natural and cultural landscapes CONTEXT - Transition heights and styles of surrounding structures and ensure cohesiveness with existing structures RELATIONSHIP TO THE STREET - Build frontages that define a street edge and maintains views between public and private spaces MASSING & HEIGHT - Use architecture elements and stepped-back design to limit imposing or bulky sizes. Consider line-of-sight, shadows, materials and landscaping when transition between places and identify paths and openings PEDESTRIAN, CYCLE AND VEHICLE ACCESS - Attempt to locate parking towards the rear of the structure, limit impact of service accesses and prioritize pedestrians. ENVIRONMENT DESIGN AND GREEN BUILDING - Orient buildings in a manner that promotes energy-efficiency and capitalize on green technologies, where possible. AMENITIES, UTILITIES AND LIGHTING - Locate garbage away from public view and incorporate snow storage into the lot design APPLICATION PROCESS You can apply for your Form and Character Development Permit along with your Building Permit. The following items are required along with your application: SITE PLANS - Detailed site plans with the location of the development and includes all structures, landscaping, parking facilities, pedestrian and vehicle flows and any other amenities. DESIGN PLANS - includes side elevations depicted the design and mass of the structures and represents human scale, materials and colours and their relation to surrounding properties PERFORMANCE BONDING The District may require that a Form and Character Development Permit Application be accompanied by a security deposit.
