OTTAWA — The City of Ottawa is one step closer to streamlining its development review process.
To help build consensus before a complete application is submitted, three phases of pre-consultation are planned. Applicants would first be required to present a preliminary proposal for initial feedback, then present a refined idea for further comment, and then submit the completed supporting information and materials for review to ensure they meet city standards.
Other changes related to the planning and housing committee include that reports for committee consideration would be released for public review six calendar days prior to a meeting instead of the current 10 calendar days. Additionally, the city would seek council approval of a future Official Plan amendment to define zoning applications that could be deemed minor, setting the stage for delegating authority on the amendments to staff.
