What's New - In the Planning, Property and Development Department

	2011 Building and Site Design Summary (BSDS) Updates to the BSDS and Simplified BSDS have been incorporated for submission with building permit applications effective January 1, 2012. For your convenience, on-line documents are available in both Word and PDF versions as well as offering access to each section of the BSDS for use by multiple industry professionals......

	Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) A strategy available to help Winnipeg manage growth and improve the quality of life by aligning transit investments with the community’s vision for how it wants to grow, creating “livable” mixed-use, denser, walkable places, and providing an alternative to low-density suburban development and automobile-dependent land use patterns..

	Neighbourhood Main Streets Zoning Review The intent of this project is to create a zoning framework to implement the community’s vision in three neighbourhood main street areas – Academy Road, St. Norbert and Transcona.

	Redevelopment at Sterling Lyon Parkway and Kenaston Blvd. This super-regional commercial destination centre will be unique in Winnipeg, and is one of the largest commercial projects for Winnipeg in the last 25 years.

	Introducing the Simplified Version of the Building Design Summary. This version has been streamlined to include only those submission requirements specific to commercial building permit applications for one storey Group D, E or F buildings. For all other new commercial, new construction or major addition projects, please use the original, full-length version of the Building Design Summary.

	PERMITS ONLINE Permits Online is a new e-service that enables the trades and building industry to apply for plumbing, electrical and new home construction permits over the Internet. The new Permits Online system provides flexibility in how, where and when permit applications are filed. Once a permit application has been submitted, this secure system enables registered users to check on the status of their permit application(s) seven days a week, day or night. As the Permits Online system continues to develop, more features and additional types of permit applications will be added. Users will see the site expand to offer a number of functions related to the permit application process, including the electronic submission of documents related to a permit application, online payment options, and the ability to receive and print completed permits using the Permits Online system. Permits Online (pdf, 337KB) user handbook is available to guide new users.
