As part of the Development Sign Policy update, the City of Ottawa is reviewing the process for development on-site sign installations.
The intent of the signs is to improve public awareness of impending development proposals that may impact an area’s land use. The sign would apply to the applications specified by the City’s Public Notification and Consultation Policy. The Development Sign Policy has not been updated since 2001.
