Site Plan Control

Prerequisites:

Before any site plan control authority given by the Planning Act can be used, the following must be in place and is in place for the City of Pembroke:

  • Official Plan with a description of the proposed site plan control area.
  • Site plan control by-law

Purpose:

Generally, the main purpose for using site plan control is to achieve some control on the design, layout and/or features of a specific proposed development. This control goes beyond the matters regulated under a Zoning By-Law.
 
This control cannot be used to prevent a use that is permitted by the Zoning By-Law. However, a building permit cannot be issued until plans and drawings are approved by the City.
 

Note: The City of Pembroke’s Comprehensive Zoning By-Law 97-38 is situated within the Planning section on the City’s website at www.pembroke.ca. A list of definitions pertaining to this document can be found within the By-Law.
