    Pre-consultation Request Form


    Complete this form to request a Pre-consultation with Planning Division Staff prior to the submission of a Planning Application to obtain preliminary review and considerations related to your proposal.

    Detailed information of the proposed development, lot configuration, and/or zoning amendment requirements are required at the pre-consultation stage.

    Pre-consultations are mandatory for Zoning By-law Amendment Applications and Applications for Site Plan Approval. They are highly recommended for Minor Variance and Consent/Severance applications. A Pre-consultation can improve application processing times.

    Before completing this form, please ensure that you have reviewed the zoning of the property and reviewed the relevant zoning provisions in the Township Comprehensive Zoning By-law.

    You can review the zoning of your property on the Muskoka Lakes GeoHub map here. The Muskoka Lakes Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2014-14 can be found here and the Muskoka Lakes Official Plan can be found here. 

    Requirements

    Please ensure that your request contains the following information:

    • Completed request form, including description summarizing the development proposal.
    • A detailed site plan including; lot lines, existing buildings and structures, proposed building and structures with measurements, lot area, lot frontage, natural features, landscaped areas, parking areas, setbacks, servicing, and roads. 
    • Any drawings, if available (e.g. floor plan and elevations). 
    • If the proposal is for a consent/severance, a detaile consent sketch is required.
    • If the proposal is for a rezoning, a detailed rezoning sketch is required. 

    Personal information on this form is collected under the authority of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter P.13, as amended, and will be used in processing this request. Questions regarding the collection of this information should be directed to: The Township of Muskoka Lakes, 1 Bailey Street,  P.O. Box 129, Port Carling, Ontario, P0B 1J0, or planning@muskokalakes.ca.
