Generally, a development application will require:

• Copies of a scaled site plan showing the property subject to the application, existing structures with building dimensions, setbacks from the property line, land uses, site access locations, and any significant natural features;
• A copy of the state of title certificate or land title search providing proof of ownership;
• Copies of any registered charges, interests, or notices to the title of the property; 
• A survey certificate or building location certificate.

As part of an application, you may be required to submit additional information beyond the requirements of the Development Procedures, Guidelines & Fees Bylaw. These additional requirements only apply to areas which are designated by an Official Community Plan as being an area for which additional development information is required.

This may include reports from qualified professionals (an engineer, surveyor, biologist, professional planner, archeologist, or architect) related to:

• the geotechnical suitability of the land in relation to a proposed development;
• the impact on transportation networks and traffic flow;
• the impact on local infrastructure systems;
• the impact on the natural environment;
• the impact on housing availability and affordability;
• the impact on heritage or archeological sites or resources;
• wildfire risks and necessary risk reduction actions;
• the impacts on local community services and public facilities; or
• how the proposal protects and/or enhances the natural environment as indicated by the CRD's sustainability checklist.

While the CRD is committed to ensuring a completed review within 21 days, an independent review of the information may be required. An additional 60 days would be provided in order to allow a qualified professional from the same association as the report's author to conduct the review.
