The Town of Innisfil is conducting a comprehensive study of its Zoning By-law and Our Shore Community Planning Permit System. The goal is to better align with the placemaking vision of our Official Plan and transition to a town-wide Community Planning Permit System (CPPS).
Streamlining the permitting process
A Community Planning Permit System makes development approval processes more streamlined and efficient. It's also a tool that will allow us to better address community needs. The CPPS will allow zoning adjustments, minor variances, and detailed site plan applications to be processed as one application and approval process, instead of two or three separate processes.
This system provides:
Greater certainty and transparency for the community, landowners, and developers
More timely approvals for applications that meet standards and guidelines
Outcomes that more closely align with the vision of our Official Plan
A tool to help get housing to the market more efficiently
Public Meeting – A statutory public meeting will be held on May 21 at 6:30 pm to present the draft CPPS By-law to Council. This meeting is a chance for community members to hear the latest updates and speak directly to Council with their feedback or concerns. To learn how you can participate in a public planning meeting, visit getinvolvedinnisfil.ca/planning.
What happens next? Feedback gathered at the public meeting and May 13 open house will help further refine the by-law before it’s brought back to Council for final consideration and adoption at a future meeting.
New GIS Map Tool
Review the draft CPPS precincts with our new interactive map! This tool lets you:
View boundaries and details of the proposed precincts
Drop pins and share your feedback directly on the map
Toggle between the draft precincts, current zoning, and Official Plan land use layers for easy comparison

Yes, where applicable, the application is circulated to the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) for review to ensure it meets LSRCA's regulations and guidelines.
