What does it mean when a Suite is registered?

It means that the suite has been:

  • approved through a development permit, including advertising if required, or it is exempt from a development permit as it meets the rules of the Land Use Bylaw and is permitted in the current zoning.
  • inspected and approved by a Safety Codes Officer for life safety requirements.
  • assigned a separate address.
  • screened and added to the Suite Registry and given a registration number.
