Pre-Consultation Application
Effective January 1, 2022 the applicant will be required to pay a fee of $400 prior to the Pre-Consultation meeting. City Staff will reach out with payment details, once the Pre-Consultation application has been submitted.
Overview
A Pre-Consultation Meeting with City staff is required prior to the submission of an application for:
- Official Plan Amendment,
- Zoning By-Law Amendment,
- Site-Plan,
- Plan of Subdivision,
- Plan of Condominium.
The pre-consultation process allows the Applicant to present the Pre-Consultation Application and concept plans to the City and provides City staff the opportunity to:
- Clarify the application process,
- Identify key issues and provide preliminary written comment (circulated after the meeting),
- Identify and confirm the necessary plans, supporting studies and any other information that would be required for a Complete Application at such time as formal submission is made.
Any technical comments made during the pre-consultation process are preliminary and subject to further circulation and review at the time of a complete development application. Pre-consultation does not imply or suggest any decision on behalf of City staff or the Corporation of the City of Peterborough. Participating in the pre-application consultation process does not allow for construction on the proposed development site.
To deem a Pre-Consultation Application complete, the following information is required:
- Completed application form,
- One (1) digital copy in PDF format of all concept plans including concept site plan in compliance with concept site plan requirements provided in this application.
Pre-Consultation meetings will not be booked until sufficient information has been provided. Should additional information be required, staff will contact the applicant.
Pre-Consultation meetings are held every third Thursday and City staff will contact the applicant to arrange a date and time for the meeting based on availability.
A preliminary discussion or meeting with a City of Peterborough Planner is mandatory prior to submitting a Pre-Consultation Application.
