The UEL website is full of information about community planning, development permits, filming permits, business licences, special events and helpful links.

Draft Land Use and Development Bylaw
The University Endowment Lands (UEL) Administration has been working on an update to the 1989 Land Use, Building and Community Administration Bylaw. As part of this review, the bylaw is being modernized and simplified by creating a number of different bylaws including, zoning, building, process and procedures, fees and charges, and community administration.
On November 3, 2010 a joint focus group meeting was held to obtain advice regarding the draft zoning bylaw. The most significant change in the draft bylaw provided to the focus groups was the removal of the Development Permit (DP) requirement for single family homes in Areas A, B, and C, except where an applicant is seeking a variance. Please check "What’s New" for further information.
In July, Draft 3.3 of the new Land Use and Development Bylaw (zoning bylaw), a description of the process, and a comparison sheet setting out the key changes were posted on the UEL website. To view this earlier information, please see July 2010 – Draft Land Use and Development Bylaw under "What's New".
