Site Plan Control
To ensure that development meets the standards and requirements of the Town, District of Muskoka and other agencies, Section 41 of the Planning Act allows municipalities to review a detailed design of a property through the Site Plan Control process.
Plans are reviewed for development include details such as building location, loading and parking facilities, grading, illumination, stormwater management works, etc. Until the Town grants approval, development projects on properties subject to site plan control cannot proceed.
Upon approval of the plans, the owner and the Town enter into a site plan agreement that contractually binds the owner (and successive owners) to develop and maintain a site in accordance with the approved plans and the terms of the agreement. Securities for any outdoor works are taking as part of the site plan agreement. All costs related to the development and registration of Site Plan Agreements are the responsibility of the applicant.
The Director of Planning and Development is appointed as the approving official for all site plan applications.
