The Town of Huntsville's Draft Community Planning Perrnit (CPP) By-law is now available for public feedback.

Watch the Sept. 15 Planning Committee Presentation on the draft CPP By-law to learn more about its structure and content.

Feedback may be provided directly to planning staff by selecting the questions tab or staff contacts available on this page. Comments on the draft By-law and associated mapping can also be made directly on the Draft Precinct Interactive Map tool.

The CPP By-law will replace the existing Huntsville Zoning By-law, will apply to all lands within the Town and will implement the policies of the Town’s Official Plan.

What is the CPP By-law and why is it important?

The Community Planning Permit By-law is a tool available to municipalities in Ontario that combines the development process by addressing all zoning amendments, minor variance and site plan agreements under one application.

This means that the CPP By-law will provide Huntsville with the ability to regulate and manage development in a more streamlined and flexible manner, with applications being reviewed within a 45 day timeframe.

For the community, it means faster approval timelines, less applications, and less approvals that need to be considered by Council.

The By-law will help the Town address some of the ongoing issues related to development, such as erosion, natural heritage, tree removal and site alteration.
