Official Plan (OP) and Zoning Bylaws: Preparation, Reviews and Amendments

Developed by the community for a community, an Official Plan is a policy tool which governs general land use matters as diverse as sewer locations and environmental protection. Municipalities are required to review their OP every 5 years. An OP might require an amendment as a result of this review or a privately initiated application. Whether you are a municipality or a private developer, LPC is available to assist with the development and review of OPs and any amendments thereto.

A zoning bylaw describes the permitted uses for all land within a town or city. Zoning bylaws are often reviewed and amended to reflect the changing needs of a community. Whether you are a municipality or a private developer, LPC is available to assist with the development and review of zoning bylaws and any amendments thereto.
