Exemptions

Notwithstanding its designation as a Development Permit Area under this
Official Community Plan, a Development Permit within that area may not be
required when:

Ae

The proposed development will be the subject of a Development
Agreement under an existing Land Use Contract, or a Comprehensive
Development Zone, or any other agreement which achieves the
objectives of the Development Permit Area;

The proposed Development will not alter the external appearance of a
building or structure;

The proposed Development is limited to a Subdivision of lands for the
purpose of consclidating two properties, or adjusting a property
line, and will not result in the alteration of the appearance of the
properties involved;

Alterations or additions to an existing building or structure are
proposed which, in the opinion of the Municipality, do not
significantly alter the appearance of the building or structure, and
the total value of the works does not exceed $20,000.00;

Advertising signs which are in full compliance with the Sign Bylaw
are proposed, or in the case of signs attached to the buildings, when
located within specified sign bands or other pre-designed sign

areas. A Development Permit however, is required for any new sign or
alteration to a sign, other than a text change, when a Development
Permit has been previously applied to a property and that Development
Permit regulated signs as part of the overall development.
