Overview
Site plan approval is required for the construction, development and re-development of all lands within the Town. The objective of site plan review is to improve the function, design and appearance of proposed developments. This is achieved by:
- Implementing consistent municipal design and technical standards
- Encouraging a high standard of structural and landscape design
- Ensuring safe and efficient vehicular and pedestrian access, connections and circulation
- Mitigating impacts on adjacent properties
- Controlling the provision and placement of required services and facilities
- Applying for site plan approval
Prior to submitting a site plan application, applicants are required to attend a pre-consultation meeting in order to receive initial feedback on a concept plan. To book a pre-consultation meeting, contact the Planning Division at 905-476-4301, ext. 3008.
Following this initial meeting, applicants should submit their Site Plan Application to the Development Engineering Division. All drawings and reports requested at the time of pre-consultation must be submitted at the time of application.
All documents accompanying an application must be in conformance with the requirements of the Town’s Development Design Criteria, 2013.
Fees
Fees are outlined in the Site Plan Control Applications section of the Town’s Planning Fee Bylaw and are also due at the time of initial submission. Once submitted, applications will be reviewed for completeness and circulated to internal and external agencies. All comments will be compiled internally and returned within four weeks of the time of acceptance of the application.
