Site Plan Control is a form of development approval authorized under Section 41 of the Planning Act and implemented through the Township of Perth East Site Plan Control By-law 47-2022. This means that, in respect of health, safety, and accepted development standards, the Township has the authority to influence the site design and layout of certain development in addition to meeting requirements of the Township Zoning By-law and the Ontario Building and Fire Codes.
Site Plan Approval applies to all development within Perth East with the general exception of single-detached dwellings; two-unit dwellings; buildings which are accessory to such dwellings; farm buildings; and temporary buildings, as per the above-noted by-law. Site Plan Approval is required prior to the issuance of a Building Permit for all development subject to Site Plan Control and is required for any new building; addition to existing buildings; or a commercial parking lot.
New and amended site plans shall conform to the Zoning By-law and to the Building and Fire Codes. Please consult the Perth East Site Plan Design Guidelines and Drainage Policy during the preparation of a site plan.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to speak with Township staff (typically building and planning staff are involved) prior to submitting a site plan application. As planning staff are only in the Township Office on a scheduled basis, it is recommended that discussions/meetings be arranged ahead of time by contacting the Township Planner.
