Land use planning is the process of managing growth in order to meet the community’s needs and to address challenges associated with development. The goal of the planning process is to build complete and healthy communities through the efficient use of land. Planning and development affect many aspects of our community such as housing, transportation, infrastructure, municipal services, parks and recreation, cultural and natural heritage, and economic growth.
The Government of Ontario sets out the ground rules and directions for land use planning through the Planning Act and the Provincial Planning Statement. The County of Frontenac provides planning services to the Township of North Frontenac.
The Township's Official Plan and Zoning By-law outline specific conditions and requirements for development. Property owners may apply for an amendment to the Township's Official Plan or Zoning By-law to be considered by North Frontenac Council.
