Development Permit Guidelines


Appendix N to the Official Community Plan contains objectives and guidelines affecting the form and character of commercial, industrial, or multi-family development within a designated development permit area (DPA).  These guidelines may also specify the means of protecting the natural environment, its eco-systems and biological diversity or areas of hazardous conditions.

Saanich is divided into development permit areas.  Specific development permit areas apply to major commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential areas, and areas which may be subject to flooding or hazardous conditions.  Scattered commercial, industrial, and multi-family dwelling uses, including two-family dwellings, are included within the Saanich General Development Permit Area.

If a commercial, industrial or multi-family development is deemed exempt from a development permit as outlined in the exemptions criteria in the document, but the building permit value would exceed $100,000, these developments will be considered by the Design Panel.
