Development Permits

The Official Community Plan (OCP)  identifies five Development Permit Areas within Esquimalt.

Properties within these Development Permit Areas require a Development Permit to be issued by Council, for any new development or redevelopment.

Development Permits:

• Provide guidelines for the exterior form and character of developments, including landscaping
• Protect the natural environment
• Are registered on the property title, once approved, and are binding for current and future owners of the property.
