ARAC moves to make City Planning processes more efficient
The Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee approved changes to City planning processes that would make the review of development applications more efficient.
Under the revised process, the City would deliver a decision on zoning applications, as well as concurrent zoning and site plan applications, within 120 days. Individual site plan applications would be processed within 90 days. This streamlined process will help get homes built in Ottawa more quickly.
