The City of Dryden must review and approve your development plan. Site Plan Control monitors development according to the Ontario Planning Act. Once approved, you must develop and maintain your site according to the approved plans and the terms of the agreement.
Site Plan Control application
The Site Plan Control application fee of $1195.00 is due with your application. You can pay in person with cash, cheque, credit or debit or online with credit or debit. The Site Plan Control procedure takes approximately five to eight weeks from the time you file an application. You'll receive a response after the Site Plan Control Group deems the application complete. At which time the completed and signed site plan agreement and value of works security will be presented to Council for a final and binding decision.
Make sure to consult with the Building and Planning Department prior to submitting a Site Plan Control application to review Official Plan policies and requirements of the Zoning By-law.
