Pre-Consultation Application

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.

Meeting and application submission dates 

Meeting dates are booked on a first received first booked basis. If the meeting date requested is already full, you may be provided an alternative date.
