Planning Advisory Committee (PAC)

Call for applications underway for a two-year term. See the public notice.

Mission

The Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) plays an important, active role in land use planning. Its main mandate is to provide advice and recommendations to the municipal council on matters concerning urban planning, zoning, subdivision and construction. In particular, it studies requests for minor exemptions, modifications to urban planning bylaws, site planning and architectural integration programs (SPAIP), or any other subject submitted by Council.

The PAC’s recommendations and opinions enable the Municipal Council to benefit from the contribution of elected officials and citizens, who can put forward their experience of living in the Town and their particular concerns for the development of their territory.

The PAC sits in camera every month and is made up of seven (7) permanent members: Two (2) municipal councillors and five (5) appointed residents, whose term of office is two (2) years.

Please consult the PIIA Guide to learn more about the application process for permits subject to the PIIA by-law, and the documents required.
