MANDATE
The PSDAC provides recommendations to Council on matters concerning land use planning, including:
- Minor exemption requests
- General development plans
- Preliminary subdivision proposals
- Site planning and architectural integration programmes
- Protection and enhancement of the natural environment
- Requests to amend the Planning By-laws
The Land Use Planning and Development Act specifies that a planning and advisory committee must be composed of at least one member of the Council. The committee is also made up of citizens. Municipal civil servants from the Planning and Sustainable Development Services also play a key role in assisting members of the committee and take part in the PSDAC meetings but they are not considered members and have no voting privileges. The Committee represents an important intermediate between the taxpayer and Council.
