Call for Applications: Planning Advisory Committee

The Planning Advisory Committee is established under by-law 1575 in accordance with the provisions of the Act Respecting Land Use Planning and Development. The mandate entrusted to the PAC by City Council, in accordance with the applicable by-laws, is to review files within its jurisdiction and provide:

• recommendations to the City Council, upon request, on all matters related to urban planning, zoning, subdivision, and construction; 
• advice on applications for minor exemptions (ME), comprehensive development programs (CDP), site planning and architectural integration programs (SPAIP), specific construction, alteration, or occupancy proposals for an immovable (SCAOPI), conditional uses (CU);
• advice to City Council on any other subject provided for by law.

To complete the current composition of the PAC and fill a vacancy in accordance with the by-law, the candidate sought for this mandate must be a Westmount resident and member in good standing of the Ordre des architectes du Québec.

The committee meets around once a month, on the mornings of Tuesday and Thursday of the same week, and the 2025 meeting schedule is available on the municipal website, as a reference. The 2026 calendar will be issued shortly.

After administrative review of the applications, Council may, at its discretion, make an appointment by resolution. The term of office for a PAC member is one or two years.
