If a holiday falls on the third Monday, the meeting will be moved to the next day. Meetings are cancelled if there are no items on the agenda to discuss, or if a quorum cannot be met.

Development regulations in the Zoning By-law may not apply in the same way to all properties. Depending on the physical dimensions or constraints of the site, there may be instances where regulations may need to be adjusted to accommodate the project and ensure that the land is used safely, functionally and efficiently. Variances are special exceptions to the standards outlined in the zoning by-law regulations. Requests for variances need approval of the Planning Advisory Committee and can be subject to special conditions. To apply for a variance or conditional use, a Planning Advisory Committee Application Form must be completed and submitted to the Director of Development, as outlined in the PAC Constitution.
The applicant must submit a Council Application Form, along with any applicable fees to:
