The Deep River Area :: Deep River Area

Development Approvals

All new commercial and industrial developments and significant re-developments in the area are subject to site plan approval.

The process for a site plan agreement is:

1. The developer has a preliminary meeting with municipal staff to review local by-laws and the site plan process, and to discuss the proposed project. Staff will make the proponent aware of any possible issues that may be apparent at this stage.

2. The developer will present a preliminary site plan drawing to the municipality. The drawing will be distributed to all appropriate municipal staff and any outside agencies as required.

3. The developer meets with the site plan committee to discuss the preliminary drawing. Any changes that are required will be discussed and documented.

4. The developer brings forward the site plan drawing(s) as agreed upon above for approval of the site plan committee.

5. The Municipal Solicitor prepares the site plan agreement.

6. The agreement is submitted to Council. Council may pass a by-law adopting the agreement or recommend changes or resubmission. Such last minute changes a rarely occur.

7. Council passes the by-law and the agreement is signed by both parties and registered on title by the Municipal Solicitor. The Chief Building Official is notified and may now issue a building permit. Development work may now commence.
