Town-wide plan and current district

Read Envision Cochrane 2050, the current Land Use Bylaw, interactive map and every applicable area structure, neighbourhood, redevelopment or intermunicipal plan for the exact property. Preserve the date and amendment status of the source reviewed.

Change of tenancy

Cochrane states that a change-of-tenancy review confirms whether the proposed business and location comply with the Land Use Bylaw and must be completed before certain renovation permits or a business licence. Test the actual operator, prior use and current approval conditions before signing or opening.

Development and Safety Codes

A development permit and a building permit answer different questions. Reconcile use, parking, loading, signs, external impacts and appeal timing with building classification, occupant load, accessibility, fire, mechanical, electrical and trade work.

Land, servicing and delivery

For vacant land or new development, verify title, plan hierarchy, subdivision, roads, water, wastewater, stormwater, utilities, geotechnical and environmental evidence. Growth reports and planned infrastructure do not prove that a particular parcel is serviced or ready.
