Reminder: Public Open Houses for Draft Community Planning Permit By-law

Peterborough, ON – The draft Community Planning Permit (CPP) By-law, along with interactive mapping, can be viewed online at connectptbo.ca/cpps. The CPP By-law will replace the City’s existing Zoning By-law and set new rules for how land can be used and what types of buildings can be developed across the city. 

Residents are encouraged to review the draft By-law and attend one of the upcoming public open houses.
