Pre-applications
A pre-application is a voluntary process where a prospective applicant may present a development proposal to The City for review and comment, prior to a formal application being submitted. The City currently offers two types of pre-application services:
- Planner pre-applications: Contact the Planning Services Centre at (403) 268-5311 or calgary.ca/livechat.
- Development Applications Review Team (DART) pre-applications: To start your application, contact the Planning Services Centre at (403) 268-5311 or calgary.ca/livechat.
Development Applications Review Team (DART) pre-applications are strongly recommended on all major, complex or controversial outline plan, subdivision, land use amendment and development permit applications. Having a DART pre-application can help identify major issues with the proposal, as well as identify supplemental technical information that will be required to accompany the formal application.
A Development Applications Review Team (DART) pre-application is reviewed by a planner and representatives from mobility and utility engineering and is submitted online through vista.calgary.ca.
