Planning & Development Services
The Planning Department is responsible for providing assistance to residents respecting development – big and small. Whether its a question about permitted uses on your property or an inquiry about setbacks, we’re available to answer your questions.
TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Carleton Place passed By-law 53-2025 (the “By-law”) on the 24th day of June 2025, under Sections 34 and 70.2 of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990, c. P. 13 as amended (the “Planning Act”), and Section 2 of Ontario Regulation 173/16, as amended.
THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT SYSTEM in the Town of Carleton Place (the “Town”) is to control the land use development within the municipality. The whole of the Town is within the development permit area, and the By-law applies to all the lands falling within the municipal boundaries of the Town. An appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal against a decision on a development permit application may be made only by the owner of land to which the application relates. The development permit review process is set out in Sections 2.21 to 2.33 of the By-law, which identifies those internal review procedures and approval authority applicable depending on which of the four classes of development permit have been applied for (as set out in Section 2.17 of the By-law). Where a proposed development cannot meet the tests for variation to the baseline development standards and development criteria described in the By-law, an amendment to the By-law shall be required as set out in Section 2.19 of the By-law.
THE SUBJECT LANDS of the By-law are all properties within the Town. As such, no key map is provided as part of this Notice. A copy of Schedule “A” to the By-law, identifying the development permit area, is available in the following list of hyperlinks.
THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE BY-LAW is to repeal the entirety of the Development Permit By-law 15-2015, as amended, and to enact a new Development Permit By-law that articulates and establishes development requirements, provisions and standards that need to be met before development approvals can be issued. The By-law implements the policies of the Town’s Official Plan, and provides for a streamlined approach to development approvals that allows for flexibility within a clearly articulated context. The By-law may also include regulations regarding tree cutting and site alteration. The By-law does not replace the requirement for building permits under the Building Code Act or approvals for the division of land under Section 50.1 of the Planning Act.
A copy of the By-law is available in the following list of hyperlinks.
WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS received by the Town throughout the public consultation for the proposed By-law were consolidated and addressed individually by staff. Council reviewed the consolidated comment-response matrix prior to making a decision on the By-law. No parties made oral submissions relating to the By-law at the public meetings held for the purpose of giving the public an opportunity to make representations in respect of the proposed By-law.
TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body may appeal the passing of the By-law to the Ontario Lands Tribunal by filing a notice of appeal with the Clerk of the Town of Carleton Place no later than the 23rd day of July, 2025. The notice of appeal must be accompanied by the fee required by the Ontario Land Tribunal and must set out the reason(s) for the appeal.
No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the By-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

CARLETON PLACE IS A SMALL TOWN EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT GROWTH AND CHANGE, PROMPTING THE NEED FOR A COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT.
This assessment aims to evaluate the current housing stock, identify gaps in housing availability and affordability, and project future housing needs based on demographic trends and economic conditions. As the Town evolves, ensuring that its housing strategies meet the diverse needs of its residents is paramount to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community.
The first step in the Housing Needs Assessment involves analyzing the existing housing market in Carleton Place. This includes assessing the types of housing available, such as single-family homes, apartments, and townhouses, and examining their affordability relative to the median household income. Additionally, the assessment considers the condition and age of existing housing stock and identifies areas that may require renovation or redevelopment. Understanding these factors helps to paint a clear picture of the current housing landscape and highlights areas where there may be shortages or surpluses.
Looking ahead, the assessment also incorporates population and employment projections to forecast future housing needs. Carleton Place is expected to see continued population growth due to its proximity to Ottawa and its appeal as a commuter town. This growth will likely increase demand for a variety of housing types, from affordable rental units to family homes. The assessment considers the needs of various demographic groups, including young professionals, families, seniors, and low-income households. By identifying these needs and planning accordingly, Carleton Place can develop strategies to ensure that all residents have access to safe, affordable, and suitable housing options, ultimately supporting the Town’s long-term sustainability and quality of life.
The following report covers the housing continuum, housing demand, housing supply, affordability, existing gaps and future community needs.
DP3-02-2024 – Block 207 and 208 27M-101, Mississippi Shores Subdivision
An application for a Class III Development Permit has been received for privately owned lands located on O’Donovan Drive in the Mississippi Shores Subdivision (legally described as Blocks 207 and 208 on PLAN 27M-101; Town of Carleton Place).
The property is designated “Residential” in both the Development Permit By-law and Official Plan.
Purpose and Effect of Application:
The purpose of the application is to permit the construction of four (4) apartment dwelling houses. Each three-story building will include twenty-one (21) residential dwelling units for a total of 84 residential units on the subject lands. The site plan also includes the construction of underground and surface parking as well as landscape amenity space for the units. A portion of the subject lands are located within the 1:100-year floodplain, however the site plan development does not propose grading impacts within the floodplain.
The proposal seeks to recognize a variance from the provisions to provide 20% landscaped open space within the defined “rear yard” of the site. Instead, the design includes 53% landscaped open space over the entire site with a planned amenity space concentrated on the northern end of the site abutting Lake Avenue West. The proposal also seeks to provide cash-in-lieu for sixteen (16) parking spaces. 89 resident spaces and 21 visitor spaces are provided on the site.
Please note that any written or verbal submissions (including your name but excluding personal contact information) will form part of the public record and be made available to Town Council and the public. Comments can be submitted to the Planning Department in the following manner:
