The City of Peterborough is inviting members of the public to review and provide feedback on the draft Community Planning Permit (CPP) By-law through open houses and an online survey.

The draft CPP By-law, along with interactive mapping, is now available for public review online.

The CPP By-law will replace the City’s existing Zoning By-law and will establish new rules for how land can be used and what types of buildings can be developed across the City. 

Community members are encouraged to review the draft By-law and attend one of the in-person public open houses to learn more and share feedback. These are drop-in open houses, and no formal presentation will be provided.

In-Person Public Open House Schedule: 

  • Jan. 28 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Westdale United Church, 1509 Sherbrooke St. 

  • Jan. 29 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Queen Alexandra Community Centre (Activity Haven), 180 Barnardo Ave. 

  • Feb. 4 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at McDonnel Street Community Centre, 577 McDonnel St. 

  • Feb. 5 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Healthy Planet Arena Banquet Hall, 911 Monaghan Rd. 

Virtual Open House: 

A virtual Statutory Public Open House will be held on Feb. 11 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. via Zoom. This session will include a presentation outlining the draft CPP By-law, followed by a question-and-answer period. Those wishing to attend can find details via Eventbrite. The meeting will be recorded and posted online following the presentation.  

In addition to attending an open house, community members can provide feedback through an online survey from Jan. 28 to Feb. 13.
