Development Services is responsible for planning, regulating and coordinating the
               development and re-development of property in the City. The Department is divided
               into two sections: Planning and Building Inspection. 

               Planning

               The Planning section helps Council formulate policies to govern the longer-term
               development of the City. These policies, which focus primarily on land-use issues, are
               reflected in the City's Official Community Plan and other important documents such as
               the City's Zoning Bylaw. 

               In addition to providing longer-term policy advice, the Planning section is responsible
               for addressing day-to-day, or "current", planning issues. In this role, the Planning
               section: 

                    responds to development-related inquiries from builders and the general public 
                    reviews and processes development applications 
                    publishes user-friendly development procedures and guides 
                    liaises with neighbourhood groups and associations 
                    compiles and distributes development and socio-economic information

               Building Inspection

               The City provides and requires building inspection to ensure the safety and security of
               construction in the community. The Building Inspection section performs inspections on
               a wide range of urban, semi-urban and rural residential and commercial developments
               during various stages of construction, alteration and/or repair. The BC Building Code,
               the BC Plumbing Code, City and Regional District bylaws and design guidelines are the
               documents that the section uses to measure compliance.
