Municipal Planning Commission

Since February 2020, the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) has considered the majority of subdivision applications, and many development permit applications.

As of November 12, 2020, meeting agendas, minutes, and live streaming became available on our Meetings & Hearings web page. Meetings held prior to then are archived below.

At the March 22, 2022, Council Meeting, Council directed that the MPC be dissolved, and on May 25, 2022, the final MPC meeting was held. Going forward, as previously occurred prior to the creation of MPC, decisions will now be made by either Council, or by Administration.

Subdivision Applications

Subdivision applications will now be considered by Council subject to criteria based broadly on:

The level of concern from an applicant, affected landowners, and other stakeholders;
Compliance with statutory and non-statutory plans and standards; and,
Any previous Council motion passed at land use amendment.

If a subdivision application does not meet the criteria for referral to Council, it will be determined by Administration.

Development Permit Applications

Development permit applications will now be determined by Administration, with the exception of a few instances where Council has previously directed that it shall determine applications for development on certain sites, for example in direct control districts.
