A Zoning By-Law Amendment, also known as a Rezoning, is a process where parts of the Zoning By-law are added, altered or deleted. The Zoning By-law imposes specific regulations on how land can be used and developed. The amendments may affect the text of the by-law, the zoning maps, or both. The scale of a zoning by-law amendment may also vary from an individual property to the entire City.

A Variance is a process that allows a deviation from the zoning by-law for a particular property. If a property can not meet the requirements of the zoning by-law due to unique circumstances, the approval authority may grant an affected owner an opportunity from the zoning by-law. A variance can be approved to allow a modification to development standards such as minimum building setbacks and height restrictions.

A Subdivision is a process where a property is legally split into two or more properties. The scale of a subdivision application may vary from a single urban lot to a new neighbourhood development. Subdivision approval is also required where a property line between two properties is being shifted.

*New Subdivision Submission Requirement*

Effective immediately, in accordance with the Government of Manitoba’s Subdivision Regulation 137/2006 as amended, the City of Brandon Planning & Buildings Department requires subdivision applicants to submit a Surveyor’s Sketch instead of a site plan. Drawn by a Manitoba Land Surveyor, a Surveyor’s Sketch will accurately show the proposed subdivision of a property, as well as features that may affect the proposed subdivision.  A site plan may still be required if the subdivision application is submitted in conjunction with another land use application, such as a rezoning application.
