Development Permit System - The Story So Far

October 06, 2015

12:00pm-1:00pm

This session will explore some of the issues that have held back implementation of the Development Permit System in the province and look ahead to the challenges and opportunities that are offered by development permit by-laws, particularly in terms of built form and urban design.
 
The Development Permit System was first introduced by the province in 2002. However, to date, only four municipalities have adopted Development Permit By-laws: Lake of Bays (2004), the Town of Carleton Place (2008), the Town of Gananoque (2010), and the City of Brampton - Main Street North (2012). The City of Toronto has recently adopted authorizing policies in its official plan and is looking to roll out a Development System in a number of locations throughout the city.
