Deeming By-law (DEEM)

The applicant submits an application via ePLAN.

After receiving an application, the Development Technician will conduct a preliminary ‘Prescreen Review’ task to ensure that the required plans and documents have been successfully uploaded. The Development Technician will also ensure all submitted plans and documents meet the City’s ePLAN Submission Standards and the application fees have been determined and confirmed.

Note: The submission does not become an application with the benefit of a review timeline until it passes the City’s ‘Prescreen Review’ process and the application fees are paid.

For more information on how to submit an application, please refer to the DEEM ePLAN Quick Reference Guide. For the application fees, please refer to the City’s Fee By-law.

Council reviews and decides on the application.

Council approves the By-law, which would be forwarded to the City’s Legal Department for registration.
