Planning Advisory Committee

What is the Planning Advisory Committee?

The Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) is a policy-driven committee that recognizes and balances the complex relationships between environmental, built form, social, and economic factors in land use planning. The committee makes recommendations to Council on planning-related matters.

Types of Applications Assessed by the Committee

The PAC reviews various types of planning and development applications, including:

• Land Division (Severances)

• Zoning By-law Amendments / Official Plan Amendments

• Plans of Subdivision

• Site Plan Development

• Deeming By-laws

• The Township’s Comprehensive Official Plan Review Process

• Other planning and development-related reports

The processes for each type of application are outlined in the Planning Act and related regulations. Relevant fees are determined by Township by-law.

The PAC reviews the above applications by:

• Meeting with applicants

• Reviewing filed materials and staff reports

• Conducting site visits

Recommendations are based on compliance or non-compliance with the Official Plan, Zoning By-laws, and the Provincial Policy Statements (PPS).
