Purpose and Effect of Amendment:
The purpose of the amendment is to repeal and replace the entirety of the Development Permit By-law 15-2015, as amended.
After the previous Open House, statutory Public Meeting and general public consultation process, Town Staff have made revisions to the Draft Development Permit By-law. It was deemed appropriate that a 2nd circulation of the Draft By-law and an additional Public Meeting take place in order to provide full transparency throughout the Draft By-law process.
Although the entirety of the by-law is considered as part of this proposed amendment, the majority of the proposed changes are mainly related, but not limited to, the following sections:
- General changes including typographical errors, grammar, omissions and wording.
- Clarify administration, interpretation, enforcement, application classes, application requirements, application process and agreement/permit requirements.
- Expanding general provisions where gaps were identified.
- Refining Development Permit Area provisions and design guidelines to reflect industry standards.
- Updating the list of defined terms used in the by-law.
A tracked-change copy of the proposed by-law, showing all amended sections, is available to view at: https://carletonplace.ca/town/municipal-services-info/development-services
Land Affected by the Amendment:
The proposed amendment is general in nature and applies to all lands within the Town of
Carleton Place.
