Engineering Development Review Process
Engineering has now assigned a single project manager to improve customer service and streamline the development review process. Project managers will coordinate the development review for all engineering infrastructure, environment and transportation items.
To help with this review, your engineering submission requirements related to rezoning applications have been consolidated into four key stages. Please provide your complete submissions for each of these stages to your assigned project manager. Provision and approval of each submission will enable your application to proceed past the associated stage. Your project manager will then distribute to all Burnaby staff involved and respond to you with consolidated comments.
Checklists for each submission stage have been provided below for your convenience. Please print, review, sign in the appropriate place, scan and attach to your submission.
- Stage 1: Suitable Plan of Development (SPoD) Checklist
- Stage 2: Third Reading Checklist
- Stage 3: Final Adoption / Fourth Reading Checklist
- Stage 4: Building Permit Checklist
Following completion of these four stages, you will proceed to the Prior to Construction phase, outlined in the table below.
