New Survey for City-wide Community Planning Permit System

Peterborough, ON – The City of Peterborough invites community members to help shape the priorities and related development control measures of the draft Community Planning Permit System through a public survey.  

The City is preparing a City-wide Community Planning Permit By-law to replace the Zoning By-law, which will establish new regulations for development such as permitted and discretionary land uses, building heights, setbacks and more.  

Survey participants will have an opportunity to identify which aspects of development are important to them when it comes to managing low-rise and medium-rise residential development within neighbourhoods and high-rise residential and mixed-use development within the Strategic Growth Areas, such as the City’s downtown, Lansdowne Street corridor and Chemong Road corridor. 

Take the survey, which is also available on the Connect Peterborough project page, connectptbo.ca/cpps.   

More information about the project, including the presentation and recording from a virtual community meeting on June 24, 2025 can be found at connectptbo.ca/cpps.
