Planning Advisory Commitee (CCU)
By virtue of the Land Use Planning and Development Act, each municipality is required to strike a Planning advisory committee, called the CCU or comité consultatif d'urbanisme, which has a mandate to give council an opinion on the various applications for minor exemptions and on the various planning by-laws submitted for approval: the normative by-laws (zoning, subdivision, construction and issuing of permits), the PPU (special planning program), PIIA (the site planning and architectural integration plan), PPCMOI (special projects in construction, modification or use of an immovable), PAE ( the comprehensive development plan), and UC (conditional uses ). The work of the CCU is intended to ensure good management of the municipality and uniform applicationof the various by-laws. In these cases, the CCU is asked to analyze the applications for citizens' projects and to recommend to the council whether they should be accepted or refused, based on the by-laws, the good of the community and similar decisions that have already been made (precedent).
Permits
If you are planning to do any renovations, enlargements, tree-cutting, work on the shoreline, or install a swimming pool or build a shed, don't forget that you must first obtain a permit !
