Subdivision Applications

- Bareland Strata (individually titled lots with private access roads and utilities)
- Building Strata (individual unit ownership, with shared yard or common areas)
- Strata Conversion of Existing Buildings (conversion of a previously occupied building to strata title ownership)
With SCRD area, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) is the approving authority for subdivisions. SCRD and Vancouver Coastal Health are referral agencies in the review of applications. SCRD is the regulator of land use.
