Land Use Regulations

The Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw are used to regulate land use and handle issues like the nature of development, uses, and the subdivision of land in Prince George. Proposals to develop land must be reviewed by City staff at a pre-application meeting where applicants will be informed on what to expect in the formal application process. Contact the Development Services department in City Hall to book a pre-application meeting or for more information.

Land Use Contracts

Land Use Contracts are coming to an end…

Land Use contracts were created in BC through the 1970's as a form of site specific land use regulation between local governments and landowners.  The terms and conditions of Land Use Contracts may impact the land uses permitted.  The presence of a Land Use Contract on a property title requires that any regulations within the contract take precedent over local government land use regulations on that land. 

As per Section 547 of the Local Government Act, all Land Use Contracts will be terminated as of June 30, 2024, unless discharged prior to June 30, 2022.  If you would like to discuss discharging your Land Use Contract, please contact Development Services on or before March 31, 2022. 

.Common Permits and Applications

Rezoning

Rezoning applications are required when land use being proposed is not permitting under existing zoning. Applications may be used to amend the text of an existing zone or to change the zone categorization altogether.

Contact Development Services to schedule a pre-application meeting or refer to the Rezoning and OCP Amendment Process Guide for more information.

  • Apply now for a Rezoning Application
