A consent may also be required when making adjustments to existing properties through right-of-ways, long term leases, easements or lot additions.

If the proposed use or structure on a property does not meet the requirements of the West Grey zoning bylaw the property owner may apply for a zoning bylaw amendment (also referred to as a re-zoning). The proposed zoning bylaw amendment must conform to the relevant Official Plan or an amendment to the Official Plan may also be required.

The required fee must be paid at the time of submission.

A zoning compliance letter provides information the Municipality may have ​with respect to the status of zoning and official plan designation on a property; it also includes outstanding bylaw enforcement complaints on the subject property. 

Zoning compliance letters do not include building permit records information, such as building code orders or status of permits.

Planning Department can provide a zoning compliance letter upon request, subject to the payment of the applicable fee (per the Fees and Charges Bylaw).
