A development permit governs the “what” of your project. It establishes land use and shows how you plan to use the site as well the size and location of any buildings or structures, exterior design elements, etc. Development must comply with the Winnipeg Zoning By-law, applicable guidelines, regulations and other City departments’ requirements.
