Development Appeals

A municipality with a Zoning Bylaw is required to have a Development Appeals Board to resolve disagreements over enforcement of Zoning Bylaw provisions. Regarding development appeals, the responsibilities of City Council, board members and the Secretary of the Board are governed by The Planning and Development Act, 2007.

You can appeal if you believe that you or your property has been affected by one or more of the following:

Zoning Bylaw Appeal:

  • An alleged misapplication of a zoning bylaw in the issuance of a development permit
  • A refusal to issue a development permit because it would contravene the zoning bylaw
  • The issuance of an order

Subdivision Appeal:

  • A refusal of an application for a proposed subdivision
  • An approval in part of an application for a proposed subdivision
  • Conditions of approval of a proposed subdivision
  • A revocation of approval of a proposed subdivision
  • A failure to enter into a subdivision agreement within a proposed time limit

Development Permit Appeal:

  • Conditions of approval of an approved development permit

An appeal cannot be made in the following instances:

  • Where a Council refuses to rezone a person's land
  • An application for discretionary use has been denied by Council
  • Where a use or intensity of use is prohibited

Development Appeal Application must be completed along with payment of $100. Supporting documentation should also be included with the application. The application can be submitted in person at the City Clerk's Office, 2nd floor, City Hall, or mailed to:

City Clerk's Office
City of Prince Albert
1084 Central Avenue
Prince Albert, SK S6V 7P3

The Development Appeals Board is required under The Planning and Development Act, 2007. The members of the Board are appointed by City Council to hear and determine appeals in accordance with the Zoning Bylaw and The Act. The City's Board consists of five members of the general public, as well as a Secretary from the City Clerk's Office.
