The City of Peterborough is hosting two community meetings to share details about the updated Community Planning Permit System and By-law Project.

At the March 10 meeting, City Council expanded the scope of the Community Planning Permit System and By-law Project beyond the Strategic Growth Areas to include all lands within the City.

The Community Planning Permit System is a land-use planning tool that combines three current development approval processes (Zoning By-law Amendments, Minor Variances, and Site Plan applications) into a single application and approval process. This will streamline development approvals and modernize development regulations.  

The Community Planning Permit By-law will implement the vision of the City’s Official Plan and replace the City’s Zoning By-law with established regulations for development and redevelopment, including permitted and discretionary land uses, building heights, setbacks and other relevant details.

This project builds on previous community engagement meetings held in October 2024 and February 2025.

There are two options to take part in this community meeting, both of which cover the same material. Please note that registration is required.

The in-person meeting will take place on June 17 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Miskin Law Community Complex Multipurpose Room, located at 271 Lansdowne St. W. Please note that capacity is limited to 120 participants.

An online meeting will take place via Zoom Webinar on June 24 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

To register for either the in-person or online meeting, please visit connectptbo.ca/cpps.

This project is related to the ongoing ‘Planning for the Future of Our Strategic Growth Areas’ project.
