Community Permit Planning System
Community Planning Permit System (CPPS)
Saugeen Shores is exploring a Community Planning Permit System (CPPS) specifically designed to support affordable housing and to increase housing supply and diversity.
What is a CPPS?
Traditional planning can be a long and arduous process. The CPPS is a land use planning tool that can streamline development. It combines zoning, site plan and minor variances processes into one process with shorter approval timelines (45 days vs 90 days). It can improve transparency and certainty for community members, landowners and developers, and provide flexibility in defining land uses to support local priorities, such as getting housing to market quicker.
