Development of certain properties may be subject to site plan approval which is normally identified through the official plan and/or zoning amendment process. Site plan approval is basically a detailed site plan which is approved by Council and shows the following information:

• parking and loading spaces to serve the building;
• landscaping;
• lighting;
• garbage facilities;
• walkways;
• highway widenings (if applicable); and,
• site drainage.

Once the site plan is approved an agreement is entered between the property owner and municipality which is registered on the title of the property.
