Site Plan Approval means the final and binding approval from the municipality and all relevant authorities for the construction and siting, upon the Property, of a building with ancillary parking, landscaping, buildings, structures, entrances, and exits all by plans and specifications as determined by the Purchaser on conditions acceptable to the purchaser.

SiteA site plan approval is a required process that you must follow for most developments including major building renovations or additions. The purpose of a site plan approval is to review site design features and coordinate the following:

• High-quality building design
• Impact of the proposal on surrounding land uses
• Placement of buildings
• Overall site design
• Landscaping
• Pedestrian movement and barrier-free design
• Grading, drainage, and stormwater management
• Parking, loading layout, vehicular access, and maneuvering

Site Plan Control, or Site Plan Approval, is a tool used by the Municipality to make sure development applications meet the focus of the Official Plan, Zoning By-law, and Urban & Landscape Design Guidelines. Site plans approved under this process are very detailed and outline exactly how the property will be developed.
