The Town Planning Committee (CCU) |
|
|
The Town Planning and
Development law, (LAU), as well as certain charters and decrees allows each
municipality to adopt a Town Planning committee(CCU). The main goal of
the committee is to make recommendations to the Town Council concerning
projects that affect the development of the territory |
The
LAU obligates all municipalitys to adopt a Town planning committee when they
wish to enforce or apply the following development plans:
- Development Plan (PAE)
- Heritage Program (PIIA)
- Special minor
dispensation
- Conditional uses
- Particular
construction projects, modification or use of a building with exceptions
to the town planning by-laws.
- Designation of
buildings or landscapes
|
|
The Town
planning committee is extremely useful and necessary for a solid development
plan along with by-laws for zoning lots and constructions |
|
|
Role and mandate of the CCU
- Make recommendations
to the municipal council about town planning, and development projects;
- Act as an
intermediate between the citizen and the municipal council;
- Offer the community
access to tools that are flexible;
|
- Make room for innovative
and original ideas;
- Allow diverse points
of view and increase citizen participation;
- Collaborate with
landscape and heritage protection programs (PIIA)
|
Often the
Municipal Council will entrust other mandates to the CCU.
The council can initiate analysis
and propose modifications to town planning by-laws that can benefit the
citizens
The final acceptance
or refusal of a project remains the exclusif decision of the elected. |
