URBANISM PLAN AND BY-LAWS 2022 REVISION

2018, the Municipality has been working on revising all of its urbanism regulations, including the current versions dating back to 2007. No substantial changes have been made to these versions for 15 years. The municipal council felt that an important updating exercise was required to ensure that the plans accurately represent the vision and direction of the Municipality in terms of urban planning. In addition, planning practices have evolved, and the Municipality is facing new challenges that did not exist 15 years ago.

This is an important, demanding, and imposing exercise. Everyone’s input is essential in this regard. Thus, the municipal council has clearly indicated and expressed its intention to carry out the revision exercise in all transparency and openness and in compliance, of course, with the legislative provisions stipulated in the Act respecting Land use planning and development when it pertains to the revision of urban planning by-laws.

In June 2020, the municipal council adopted a resolution which became, three months later, in September 2020, an interim control by-law (ICB) aimed at establishing various exceptional urbanism regulations during the revision period of urbanism by-laws. This ICB will be replaced by new urbanism by-laws as soon as the new ones enter into effect. Therefore, the moratorium on cadastral operations under the ICB will be replaced by the new subdivision rules once they are in effect. In addition, the ICB allows for the enactment of various rules to ensure compliance with future municipal council directions.
