145.42. The council of a municipality that has an advisory planning committee may, by by-law, in any part of the territory divided for the purposes of subparagraph 16 or 16.1 of the second paragraph of section 113 or subparagraph 4 or 4.1 of the second paragraph of section 115, subordinate the issue of a construction or subdivision permit or a certificate of authorization to the production by the applicant of an expert assessment for the purpose of providing the council with information on the relevance of issuing the permit or certificate and on any conditions on which it should be issued given those constraints.
The by-law identifies the constraints and, on the basis in particular of those constraints and the different types of permit and certificate, determines the types of expert assessment required and what each must contain.
Where such a by-law is in force, the council shall render its decision after receiving the opinion of the advisory planning committee. If, in light of the expert assessment produced by the applicant and the committee’s opinion, the council decides to authorize the issue of the permit or certificate, it may, given the applicable constraints, subordinate the issue to any condition, which may in particular apply to the carrying out of work.
