Pre-Consultation Meeting
A pre-consultation meeting is required prior to the acceptance of a planning application for:
- Official Plan amendment
- Zoning By-law amendment
- Site Plan Application
- Plan of subdivision or condominium
Occasionally at the discretion of staff:
- Minor Variance
- Severance
Pre-consultation meetings are hosted by Planning staff, and include representatives from various Town departments and/or external agencies as required.
The purpose of these meetings is to:
- Confirm what approvals are required
- Identify any drawings, supporting studies, and reports that are required
- Review planning policies that apply to the site and expected timelines
- Flag any relevant Council decisions, and any potential areas of concern
Step 1. Request a Pre-Consultation Meeting
To request a pre-consultation meeting, please complete the application form:
Step 2. Submission
Submit the form, along with required documents, which include an associated concept plan, to the Planning and By-law Department, prior to the submission deadline.
Meetings are held the first and third Thursday of each month from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. An exact appointment time will be provided as soon as possible once the request is confirmed.
Step 3. Confirmation
Once received, Town staff will ensure the request is complete.
Step 4. Fee Payment
Following confirmation, the Town will contact you to arrange for payment of the applicable fee in accordance with the Town's Fee Schedule.
The cost of this fee will be deducted from the final application fee(s). Please note that if an application is not submitted, the pre-consultation fee(s) are not refundable.
Pre-consultations for minor variance applications are not charged a separate pre-consultation fee.
Step 5. Scheduling
A meeting date will then be scheduled, and the information will be circulated to internal departments and external agencies for review. While we strive to process applications in a timely manner, high volumes of applications can result in delays to the meeting schedule.
