Commercial Construction

To build, add or improve the interior of a commercial building, one must obtain the proper approval from all the authorities having jurisdiction. This process can be complex and may require the support from the community and city, sometimes the region. A team of consultants such as  architects, engineers, planners and more are oftentimes required for Commercial construction. We are here to help you in the processing and the coordination of the project.

Exterior Improvement

In any repair, improvement or updating your building exteriors, proper approvals from your local authorities are needed. For example, the seasonal use of an outdoor space like an outdoor patio is an opportunity to maximize the revenue of a food and drink establishment. This process may need the support of the local community and the planning department authorization. With our guidance, your navigation of this process will be efficient and assured.

Re-zoning Applications (Zoning Bylaw Amendment)

The re-zoning process allows both the City and the community to analyze the potential effects and benefits that a development may have. This involves analysis of surrounding land use and evaluating compliance with existing City policies, including the Official Community Plan. This allows you to change the use of a site and increase its real estate value. The process is long, complicated and has high risk. We can guide you through the process and improve chances of approvals.

Change Of Use

All new business in a commercial building requires a change of use permit. Change of use permits are necessary to ensure that zoning, health and safety standards for the building use are met. It is required when there is a change of major occupancy in the building and reviews parking and all regulations applicable to the new user. When the permits are conditions for a lease agreement or a sale, this type of permit is seriously important. We increase the chance of success and speed up this type of approvals.

 

STOP WORK ORDER /REMEDIATION

Construction work that was not applied for or not part of the building permit can receive a Stop Work Order from the city. Besides this, a Stop Work Order always involves non-compliance with city’s regulation and by-laws. Permit plans can help with compliance to lift this Order and remediate on our clients behalf.

A minor variance is a minor change to a performance standard under the Zoning By-law, granted by the Committee of Adjustment. The Committee of Adjustment is the body authorized to hold public hearings and makes decisions on applications for minor variances to City zoning bylaws and land severances. A minor variance can allow bylaw change in height, setbacks, coverage, parking requirements, etc.
