Planning and Development The Planning Department is involved in the preparation and review of plans for future development within the Town. Two documents are primarily used to administer the municipality's planning programme. The first is called the "Official Plan." It sets out a general policy framework for decisions on planning related matters. For example, it indicates where housing, commercial and industrial activity will be encouraged to locate and what services will be needed for anticipated growth. The second document is called the "Zoning By-law" which specifies the type of development that can occur in different parts of the Town. Any type of proposal that requires a Building Permit must conform to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Official Plan Zoning By-law Committee of Adjustment The Committee of Adjustment has delegated authority under the Planning Act to review and make decisions on applications regarding the subdivision of land (Consent) and minor variances to the Town's Zoning By-law. Development Applications The Planning and Development Department manages the processing and management of all development applications, including Official Plan Amendments, Zoning By-law Amendments, Applications for Site Plan Approval, Plans of Subdivision, and other.
