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 Open House #2 - Thanks to everyone who participated in our open house on March 5, 2025 for the Community Planning Permit System (CPPS) and Official Plan Review projects. If you couldn't attend, the draft CPPS By-law for Alcona and our shoreline area and materials from the open house are available on this project page for your review.
Public Open House #1 - We hosted a virtual public information session on May 25, 2023 to share information about the CPPS tool, how it's used, and why the Town is expanding the tool to new areas. View a recording of the meeting.
Completion Update
Council approved the Phase 1: Background Study and Strategic Directions on June 28, 2023 through report DSR-090-23. Council also endorsed a gradual approach for implementing the new CPPS By-law, based on the following priority areas. The Town is currently working on 1a and 1b.
Priority Area 1a: Update Our Shore CPPS
Priority Area 1b: Alcona Primary Settlement Area
Priority Area 2: All other Urban Settlement Areas of the Town
Priority Area 3: Village and Hamlet Settlement Areas
Priority Area 4: Future settlement areas/expansion areas

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.
