Legal Block
Subdivision block lines are created or modified whenever there is a change to one or more property lines. This can include consolidating two or more parcels into one parcel; adjusting or realigning an existing property line; or creating several parcels from one or more existing parcels. These layer adjustments are initiated only when the City of Burnaby has approved the subdivision application. Steps taken to create or modify subdivision layers: Applicant submits application for subdivision approval along with various documents and surveys. Intake Staff creates case file and distributes application to various agencies and departments for review, commenting and providing recommendations. Assigned Subdivision Technician reviews development with all parties and prepares Letter of Approval to be signed by Approving Officer outlining all requirements and conditions of subdivision, Once applicant has satisfied prerequisites, the signed Survey plan is deposited in Land Titles Office (LTO) along with all associated documentation. Planning Technician accesses the LTO Tax system to gather information relevant for entering into the Permit Plan system. Once permit plan database is updated, Planning Technician informs Mapping Technician of all necessary changes needed to be made to the subdivision layers. Mapping Technician reviews the information on the database and makes the adjustments.
