Development Permits update
As part of the City’s transition to Development Permits, the Preliminary Plan Approval (PPA) process will be phased out. The City will no longer accept new PPA applications after June 30, 2026. For any ongoing applications, applicants will have until June 30, 2027 to complete them. In addition, an associated Building Permit application must be applied for no later than June 30, 2027. If you have an existing instream PPA application, please reach out to your assigned Technician or Planner.
