Planning and Development
Land Use Planning
The Planning division reviews development applications for severances; minor variances; rezoning; amendments to the Official Plan; plans of subdivision; and site plan control, used for complex developments such as industrial, commercial, or institutional buildings.
Policy Planning
We are also responsible for long-range planning and policy development. The primary roles in policy planning include:
- Guidance of the preparation and maintenance of an Official Plan that establishes the Township's goals, objectives, and land use policies for guiding long-term physical growth and development of Loyalist Township
- Preparation and maintenance of Secondary Plans for coordinating subdivision designs, the provision of services and community facilities, housing mix and densities, and other related planning matters
- Preparation of Community Improvement Plans for promoting the renewal and revitalization of older areas and the rehabilitation of private properties
- Conducting studies (assembly, analysis, interpretation, projection and illustration of relevant economic, social, environmental and land use planning data) for policy planning and development review purposes
- Advise Council of the initiatives, plans, and policies of other levels of government as they may affect Loyalist Township
