The Governance and Priorities Committee is recommending that Council add a decision point to the 2027-2032 Financial Plan and direct staff to implement the four remaining recommendations from the 2021 Building Permit Function Review. The 2021 review targeted permit processing efficiency; the outstanding changes are expected to further reduce approval timelines, though the specific measures are not detailed in the available materials. Council consideration of the recommendation will determine whether funding is secured in the next financial plan cycle; if adopted, staff implementation would begin after 2027.

Council approval is sought for an unspecified proposal at an undisclosed address in Nanaimo, BC, by an unnamed applicant. The application is scheduled for a meeting on April 27, 2026. No outcome is currently available.
