Planning Services
Official Plan

The City of North Bay has a new Official Plan which came into effect on January 6, 2012. Any development application submitted and deemed to be complete will be reviewed under the previous Official Plan. Any development application submitted on or after January 6, 2012 will be reviewed under the new Official Plan.

What is an Official Plan?

The Official Plan is a legal document approved by Council which describes policies and objectives for future land use. It reflects a community vision for future change and development. The Official Plan is prepared with citizen input.

An Official Plan is a long range planning policy document which guides and shapes growth and manages development over a 20 - 30 year time frame. It contains goals, objectives and policies to guide future physical development of a community while taking into consideration important social, economic and environmental matters and goals.

The City of North Bay Official Plan is a policy document, which describes the future direction of the City and how land is to be used. It also provides the basis for the Zoning By-law applying to all properties in the City.

Changes to an Official Plan

Sometimes it is necessary to amend the Plan to provide appropriate policy or land use designation for certain development that was not anticipated when the Plan was prepared. As the owner of a property, one can make an application to amend the City's Official Plan at the Planning Services Department.

In some cases the Official Plan requires that specific studies and assessments be submitted before Council can consider a change. Before making an application, all applicants should contact the Planning Services Department to determine what information will be required.

Applications for Official Plan Amendment are circulated to various municipal departments and agencies for review and comment. Planning Services prepares a report to the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC), which is appointed by Council to review the report, hold public meetings, and make recommendations to Council.

The recommendations together with the planning staff report are forwarded to Council for final decision. The decision of Council may be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. Appeals are made through the City Clerk.
