Permit or Rezoning Application first?
Just a quick question regarding the real estate development process. Do you apply for a permit first then apply for rezoning or is it the other way around?

You will not be able to get a building permit until you comply with the applicable zoning for the site. In Toronto that both means amending both the older in-force bylaw (could be 438-86 for former City of Toronto etc) and the under appeal City-wide City of Toronto ZBL 569-2013. This is handled through the single application though. Once your zoning is in place and the appeal period has passed, you will be able to apply for a building permit.
