Site Plan Applications
Site Plan applications address detailed aspects of site development, including access, landscaping, parking, accessibility, infrastructure, stormwater management, and compliance with Provincial, Regional, and Town requirements. These applications are supported by comprehensive drawings and documentation, which undergo rigorous review by Town departments, external agencies, and technical experts.
The Planning Act guides the Site Plan approval process and includes application processing, document review, and approval. Once approved, a Site Plan Agreement is registered on title, and all conditions must be fulfilled before development begins. Approval authority for Site Plans is delegated to the Director of Planning, Building and Development Services.
Site Plan materials are available for public viewing at Town Hall (1593 Four Mile Creek Road, Virgil). While public input is not required during this technical phase, individuals can schedule an appointment to review documents, meet with staff, and provide comments or concerns for consideration. To book an appointment, email planning.development@notl.com or call 905-468-3266.
Other Planning Act Applications
Information related to recent or open applications for Consent, Minor Variance, Fence Variance, Sign Variance, and Legal Non-Conforming Uses can be found on the Committee of Adjustment webpage (Committee of Adjustment | Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake).
