The plan needs to have a neat and professional appearance.  Many plans can be modified from versions of your site plan, landscape plan, architecture plan or legal plan of survey.

It is recommended, but not required, that you hire a professional draftsperson.  If you decide not to hire a professional, hand-drawn parking plans are acceptable. Please use a ruler and draw the plan to scale with dimensions in metric units. Ensure that the dimensions of a typical parking are clear.  Calculate the total area proposed to be rented and indicate this area in the bottom right corner.

Regardless of the method, all parking plan diagrams must have the following elements:

• the location of all parking stalls the boulevard
• building outlines
• the adjacent public streets  
• the curb

• sidewalks (if applicable)  
• hydro poles and streetlight poles
• the dimensions of a typical parking stall
• the locations of trees and shrubs
• regulatory street signs
• above-ground utilities
• all dimensions in metric
• North arrow

The application will be circulated to our transportation planning and design division for processing.  If approved, a five-year agreement will be executed between the City of London and the landowners.  Each year, an invoice will be sent on the anniversary date of the agreement.  The agreement will be renewed every five years.

If you are signing a legal document that requires your oath, the content of that document is your sole responsibility. When you are making an oath, you must understand the details in the document to which you are attesting – and you must understand that, by swearing an oath, you are attesting that those details are correct.

If a commissioner of oaths is unsure about the identity of the individual or the content of the document, the commissioner of oaths may refuse to sign the document. It is at the sole discretion of the individual commissioner of oaths whether they choose to sign any document or declaration.

The request for the commissioner of oaths service must be made by the same individual(s) taking the oath and signing the document. You must present one original and valid government issued piece of photo identification with a signature on it (a driver's licence, a government issued identity card, a passport, for example). If your identification is in a language other than English or French, an official translation of the document may be required.

Your signature must be witnessed in front of the commissioner.
