Site Plan Control

 

What is a Site Plan?
A site plan establishes both the design and technical aspects of development proposals. It also ensures that the project blends with the character of the neighbourhood or local business area and meets the Town's development requirements for matters such as site servicing, setbacks, parking requirements and storm water management. Site plan approval is regulated by the Planning Act of Ontario.

The entire Town of Greater Napanee is designated by Council as a "Site Plan Control Area". A building permit cannot be issued and development cannot begin until site plan approval has been obtained.

Under the legislation, the Town can request site plans showing the locations of all facilities and works, elevation drawings showing massing and conceptual design, landscape plans, vehicular and pedestrian access, parking, and grading and drainage.

The Town recommends a pre-consultation meeting be held prior to submission of an Application for Site Plan Approval.

The nature of each Site Plan Application will vary, and the process will sometimes fluctuate accordingly. In addition to public input, review may be needed from other agencies or consultants specialized in specific design for development.
