As part of getting to know your lot(s), you need to determine the zoning of the lot(s) and obtain a
copy of the applicable regulations that will impact your subdivision design and siting of buildings.
The City’s zoning bylaw “ZONING BYLAW 2011, NO. 4500” can be accessed through
the City website at www.nanaimo.ca, and the associated zoning map can be viewed by
using NanaimoMap. Zoning of a property can be confirmed through the Service Centre.

Tip!
To determine if there are any restrictions on the lot, you
can obtain a copy of the Certificate of Title. The Title will
identify the presence of any easements, rights-of-way,
covenants, or building schemes. For a minimal fee, you
can obtain a copy of the Certificate of Title from Service
BC, which is located at 460 Selby Street in Nanaimo,
phone 250-741-3636, or search their website at www.
servicebc.gov.bc.ca for more information. Be prepared
with your P.I.D. number (available from City staff and
soon to be available on NanaimoMap).

Your lot’s Certificate of Title may identify the
presence of easements or rights-of-way on your
lot. It is important to identify easements and
rights-of-way as they may affect lot layout or the
siting of future buildings.

When considering lot layout and the design and
placement of your home on your lot, be sure
to keep in mind there are criteria which govern
locations of driveways, which are outlined in
“CROSSING CONTROL BYLAW 1996 NO.
5174”. For example, the driveway access
cannot be in the same location as a bus stop, nor
can the access be through the corner of the lot.
Most lots are found to contain some natural or
manipulated slope. It is important to understand the
slope of the property as it may have implications for
the design/layout of your subdivision.

the developer which limit what an owner can do with
his property. As the City of Nanaimo is not party to
the drafting or registration of building schemes, they

A review of the property title may identify the
presence of covenants that are registered on
your lot. All covenants should be reviewed as
they may contain requirements or restrictions
that will impact the use of the lot or siting of future
buildings. If the Covenant is registered in favour
of the City, Staff in the Service Centre may be
able to provide you with a copy of the document.

against the title of the land that stipulates
conditions on how the land can or cannot be
developed or used. The covenant may be
negative (restrictions) or positive (requirements)
in nature and may include provisions in respect
of the use of the land; the use of buildings on,
or to be built on, the land; how the land can or
cannot be built on; whether or not the land can
be subdivided; the protection, preservation,
conservation, maintenance, enhancement or
restoration of the land or a specified amenity.

What is a Subdivision?
What is a Subdivision?
Any time you change the boundaries of a parcel of land, you are subdividing.
Why is City Approval required?
The Subdivision Approving Officer
Typically "subdivision" is thought of as the creation of two or more parcels of land from a
larger parent parcel. It can also include the realignment of existing property lines (boundary
adjustment), the creation of individual units within a multi-family development (building
strata), the creation of parcels of land with commonly owned private areas (bare land strata),
the conversion of existing rental building into individual units for independent ownership
(strata conversion), and so on.
The Land Title Act stipulates that for land within
a municipality, the municipal council must
appoint an Approving Officer. The Approving
Officer is responsible for administering and
approving/rejecting applications to subdivide
lands.
The Approving Officer is responsible for ensuring
that:
Legislation regulating the subdivision process
can be found in the Local Government Act, the
Land Title Act, and the Strata Property Act.
What is a Subdivision?
The City's Subdivision Control Bylaw sets
further standards for subdivision access and
works & services requirements.
TO THIS:
Fee Simple
FROM THIS:
̆̆ All lots are adequately serviced with
water, sanitary sewer, and storm.
̆̆ The property has adequate roads/
traffic flow, access, and pedestrian
interconnectivity with adjacent lands.
Boundary
Adjustment
̆̆ The subdivision meets the minimum
requirements under the Zoning Bylaw
(e.g. lot size, frontage, depth etc.)
̆̆ The subdivision supports future
development of neighbouring properties.
Air Space
Parcel
̆̆ Natural features and amenities (i.e.
trees,
environmentally
sensitive
areas, landmarks etc.) are protected.
Strata Lots
̆̆ Adequate open space is provided.
*Plans which cancel interior lot lines within the
same plan or consolidate adjoining parcels do
not require approval by the Approving Officer
and can be registered at the Land Title Office
by a BC Land Surveyor.

The Subdivision Approval Process
Preliminary Layout Acceptance (PLA)
Design Stage Acceptance (DSA)
Upon completion of the application review, a PLA may be granted by the Approving Officer. The PLA
is essentially a "shopping list" outlining the requirements established through formal review that the
applicant must fulfill before Final Approval of the subdivision can be granted.
After the conditions of subdivision are identified in the PLA, the applicant/owner must retain a
professional civil Engineer to work with City Engineering staff to prepare and submit detailed design
drawings for the design of any roads, services and utilities.
A PLA is valid for 12 months and typically contains the following conditions/requirements necessary to
obtain Final Approval:
̆̆ Construction requirements for Works and Services
(road standards including curb, gutter, sidewalk, street
lighting).
The Engineering staff will review and coordinate the
requirements, design, cost estimates etc. with the
Engineering consultant, involving other City departments
and external agencies as necessary.
̆̆ Servicing requirements (water, sanitary, storm).
The detailed design drawings must indicate the location of
all future City owned infrastructure (i.e. road works, street
lighting, storm drainage system, sanitary sewers, water
mains, landscaping, etc.), an erosion and sediment control
plan, lot grading plan, tree management plan as well as
BC Hydro, Telus, Fortis Gas and Shaw Cable utilities.
̆̆Tree Management (removal/retention).
̆̆Aquatic Setback requirements.
̆̆Dedication of Parkland or cash-in-lieu of park (if
required), linear open spaces and walkway, etc.
̆̆Required reports (geotechnical, environmental etc.)
Once the drawings meet City approval, Design Stage Acceptance (DSA) can be issued.
̆̆Identification of required legal documents (rights-ofway, easements, restrictive covenants, etc.)
̆̆Requirements from external Agencies (Min. of
Environment, Min. of Transportation, Min. of Health,
Agricultural Land Commission, etc.)
̆̆ Payment of Development Cost Charges (DCCs), Final
application fees, taxes outstanding accounts payable,
etc.
̆̆ Other approvals required to facilitate subdivision (e.g.
Development Permits, Development Variance Permits,
Rezoning Approval, etc.)
If the subdivision cannot be completed within the one year time frame, an
application (prior to the PLA expiry date) for PLA Renewal will be required in
order to keep the application active.

The Subdivision Approval Process
The Subdivision Approval Process
Substantial Completion
Once DSA has been issued, the applicant will hire a contractor to complete the construction of the
Works and Services. The applicant's Engineer will arrange a pre-construction meeting through City
Engineering staff.
The contractor will need to apply for, and be issued, a Works in City Streets permit prior to
commencement of construction. The contractor will also provide liability insurance naming the City
as an additional Insured, covered by the policy, and security equal to 10% of the estimated value of
the works to be contracted within City lands (i.e. road dedication, title property or within City statutory
right-of-way areas).
Throughout construction, the applicant's Engineer
oversees and inspects the Works & Services being
constructed, and reports any issues that arise to the City
Engineering section.
When the consulting Engineer is satisfied that all works
have been completed in accordance with the approved
design drawings and City requirements, a Final Inspection
is requested through the City's Municipal Service
Inspector. All deficient items must be corrected prior to
submission for review and approval.
The consulting Engineer will provide a Certification of
Installed Works, as well as a Statistics Sheet for the Works & Services that itemizes the quantity and
value of the various components, so that the City's Engineering section can determine the security
required (usually 10% of the value of the City works constructed + engineering and contingency) for
the Maintenance Agreement required for the Maintenance Period.
The consulting Engineer is responsible for maintaining and/or correcting the work against any
defects arising from installation, materials, workmanship, or engineering design, which may appear
after the Certification of Installed Works is signed and until the end of the Maintenance Period, which
is a minimum of 1 year.
NOTE:
Final Approval is generally not applied for until after
the works have been constructed and a Maintenance
Agreement, as outlined above, is provided. However, the
Approving Officer may accept an application for Final
Approval under the following conditions:
•
25% of the Works & Services have been constructed,
•
an estimate for the value of the remaining Works
& Services - and works on private property (e.g.
lot grading, common driveways, etc.) - has been
provided, and
•
the applicant has entered into a Construction
Agreement, providing security equal to 100% of the
remaining works + engineering contingency.
The Approving Officer will also require that the applicant
provide a "No-Build/No Independent Sale" restrictive
covenant to ensure the works are complete before any
building permits can be applied for and the title of the
newly created lots cannot be sold to multiple parties.
A "Certificate of Substantial Completion" will be issued upon completion of all the service, utility and
road works related to the project, and final inspection by the City of Nanaimo's Engineering section.

security. (Security must be in the form of an automatically renewing Irrevocable
An application for Final Approval must include:
The Licenced Depositor takes the plan of subdivision and all other associated legal documentation
to be registered at the Land Title and Survey Authority Office of BC (LTO). You now have separate
title to each new lot.
Letter of Credit in a form acceptable to the City or a Certified Cheque in an amount
accepted by the Engineering Section).
̆̆
̆̆
Survey plan of the subdivision and all rights-of-way, easement or
covenant areas prepared by a registered BC Land Surveyor.
Any required legal documents prepared by a Lawyer.
Once the Approving Officer has reviewed the plans and supporting documentation and is satisfied
that all requirements of the PLA have been met, the plans and documents will be executed by the
Approving Officer and City as necessary, and returned to the applicant's Licenced Depositor (any
Surveyor, Lawyer, Engineer etc. registered with the Land Title & Survey Authority of BC to deposit
plans) with a Letter of Undertaking.
The Letter of Undertaking will specify that the plans and supporting documents will be registered at
the Land Title Office within 60 days of signature by the Approving Officer and that Proof of Registration
will be provided to the Approving Officer.
Release of Security
One month prior to completion of the Maintenance
Period, the Engineering Section will contact the
project Engineer to remind them that an End of
Maintenance Inspection is now due. The Engineer
is then to coordinate a Final Inspection of the works.
If the City's Municipal Inspector agrees that the
works are to the City's satisfaction, the Engineering
Section will issue a Certificate of Acceptance for the
works and release the Maintenance Security. If a
deficiency(ies)is found, the deficiency(ies) is to be corrected. If the deficiency is minor, the security will
be released upon confirmation that it has been repaired. If the deficiency is major, the Maintenance
Period may be extended, and the security may be reduced to cover the continued maintenance of
the repaired deficiency.
Once the Maintenance Security has been released, your subdivision is complete.

City of Nanaimo - Subdivision
Subdivision staff do their best to ensure that your
application is dealt with in a timely manner. After
a preliminary review by Subdivision staff, referrals
are sent out to various City departments and
external agencies. Any additional items identified
at that time will be brought to the applicant's
attention. Once all requirements are satisfied,
the application is put in a queue for drafting of
the PLA by the Subdivision Planner, and review
and acceptance by the Approving Officer. From
the time of a complete application submission to
issuance of PLA is approximately 8 weeks.
The time it takes to complete the requirements of subdivision is largely dependent upon the
applicant. The applicant must complete all of the requirements listed in the PLA before the
Approving Officer can grant Final Approval of the subdivision.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Frequently Asked Questions...
What is Evaluated in a Subdivision Application?
What is a Development Cost Charge (DCC)?
Subdivision application review includes, but is not limited to:
Development cost charges (DCCs) are monies that
municipalities and regional districts collect from land
developers to help offset future capital costs for the
construction, alteration or expansion of roads, drainage
systems, water mains, sewer mains and parks necessary
to accommodate growth City-wide.
̆̆ Ensuring conformance with lot sizes, frontage requirements, setbacks from existing
buildings, setbacks from watercourses, etc.
̆̆ Reviewing wildlife/environmental impacts and geotechnical hazards (subsidence,
rockfall, slope stability, etc.)
̆̆ Establishing whether Development Permits/Development Variance Permits are
required.
DCCs are imposed by Bylaw pursuant to the Local
Government Act.
̆̆ Determining whether the property is within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR),
and if so, ensuring ALR approval is obtained.
DCCs associated with subdivision are collected at Final
Approval.
̆̆ Confirming any additional requirements/approvals from any other external agencies.
̆̆ Ensuring conformance with the Official Community Plan, including sensitive hillside
development, trail and walkway connections, etc.
NOTE: The costs associated with the construction of frontage works & services required through
subdivision development (i.e. curb, gutter, sidewalks and street lighting) are separate from, and in
addition to, the required Development Cost Charges.
̆̆ Determining whether park dedication is required (The Local Government Act
requires 5% of land for park for subdivisions creating 3 (or more) additional parcels).
̆̆ Reviewing any charges on Title that may affect the subdivision.
Can I Build While Under Active Subdivision?
̆̆ Evaluating standards and requirements for Works & Services such as curb, gutter,
street lighting, sidewalk, etc.
Generally speaking, you cannot apply for a Building Permit while under active subdivision.
̆̆ Determining whether any rights-of-way or easements are required.
However, building permit applications may be accepted prior to registration of subdivision for the
number of homes permitted under the Zoning of the parent parcel, provided:
̆̆ Access/servicing to lands beyond.
̆̆ Ensuring development does not negatively impact development potential of
adjacent lands.
̆̆ The applicant has made application for Final Approval of the subdivision and the
Approving Officer has deemed the application complete,
̆̆ the subdivision has received Substantial Completion, and
̆̆ the subdivision is proceeding in a timely manner and there is not anticipated to be any
time delays in the registration of the plan.

Frequently Asked Questions...
What Triggers Park Dedication?
As per Section 941 of the Local Government Act, the
owner of land being subdivided must provide park land,
or cash-in-lieu of park land, where 3 (or more) additional
lots are being created by subdivision.
Frequently Asked Questions...
Why do I Need to Consider Neighbouring Properties when I Just Want to
Subdivide My Lot?
Section 75 of the Land Title Act states that land being subdivided must provide necessary and
reasonable access to all new parcels, including access through the land being subdivided to land
lying beyond or around the subdivided land.
In determining whether park, or cash-in-lieu of park
should be provided, City staff look to the Parks,
Recreation & Culture Master Plan as a guiding
document. Land is acquired to fulfill park needs in the
area and complement the City's park and trail system.
Cash in lieu is considered where the 5% of park land
dedication would be too small for a park, the parcel
would not complement an existing park or trail system,
or no local park land needs have been identified.
This requirement gives due consideration to neighbouring
properties to ensure the development does not compromise
the ability of owners of lands beyond to have equally
feasible development rights in the future. It also assists
in the creation of functional and permeable road networks
that provide for multiple modes of transportation, with a
focus on pedestrian connectivity.
My Property Has an Environmentally Sensitive
Area (ESA).
How Does This Affect My
Subdivision?
ESAs are areas that provide productive fish or wildlife
habitat, contain sensitive, rare or depleted ecosystems
or represent sites of natural diversity that are in danger
of disappearing. (E.g. watercourses, wildlife trees, rare
woodlands such as Garry oak and Arbutus groves, special
landforms such as coastal bluffs, etc.).
The City makes every effort to protect and preserve ESAs. If your property contains an ESA,
you will be required to provide an Environmental Assessment of the land being developed as part
of your application for subdivision. The Assessment will identify the environmentally sensitive
characteristics of the site and provide suggestions to protection environmental features, minimize
and/or mitigate environmental impacts, as well as specify measures to restore habitat damaged
during development.
Pursuant to the Income Tax Act, you may be eligible for tax benefits by donating ecologically
sensitive land to a qualified recipient. For more information, please see Environment Canada's
Ecological Gifts Program.
