Multi-Unit Developments

What Permits Do I Need?

A Development Permit, a Building Permit, Plumbing, Gas, and Electrical Permits will always be required for new multi-unit developments.

Rules & Requirements

There are many considerations to every project such as:

1. The types of development permitted in various land use districts (zoning)
2. The amount of area on a lot that buildings can cover (site coverage)
3. The required distances from property lines and other structures (setbacks)
4. How high a building can be in various land use districts (elevation)
5. The restriction of building structures over gas lines or other utilities (URWs)

Hinton's Land Use Bylaw describes rules and requirements for building new multi-unit developments in town.

Top Tips

• Consider items in your design such as waste pick up, snow removal and storage, parking for residents and guests, shared amenity space, landscaping, and storm water management.
