Urban Development Plan and By-laws

Legal Note

The informational texts of the main regulations do not replace the official texts adopted by the municipal council; the regulations in force prevail.

Before undertaking any steps or work, be sure to check with the department responsible for enforcing the regulations.

The complete regulations, published in the form of administrative codification, can be found in the following sections. Administrative codification makes it easier to consult a regulation. It incorporates the original regulation and any amendments made since its first publication.

The administrative codifications of the regulations published on this site have been prepared solely for the convenience of those who use them and have no official value. Despite the care taken in preparing these documents, the City assumes no responsibility for their accuracy or reliability. It is up to the user to determine whether, for interpretation or application purposes, it is necessary to consult the official bylaws, available from the Service du greffe et des affaires juridiques.

Urban Development Plan

By laws of the n° 1870 Urban Development Plan

Effective Date: November 12, 2025 | Last update: May 13, 2026

The urban plan is the planning document that establishes guidelines for the spatial and physical organization of the city while presenting an overall vision for its land use planning.

It is the city's most important official document in terms of land use planning. It contains the urban planning policies adopted by the city council that will guide its decision-making in the future.

The urban development plan includes:

  • A vision statement setting out the guidelines for the desired change for the City over the next decade;
  • Major development guidelines linked to objectives;
  • An action plan presenting the implementation strategies and intervention or financing tools to be provided in order to comply with the vision, guidelines, and development objectives;
  • Major land uses and densities that specify the purpose of different parts of the territory (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial, etc.);
  • The type of main traffic routes and transportation networks (rail and road).

The urban development plan also includes specific urban development plans (PPU) for strategic areas of the city that require a particular and specific development vision.

The content of urban plan no 1870 is based on the following elements:

  • Obligations under the Metropolitan Community of Montreal (CMM) Metropolitan Land Use and Development Plan (PMAD);

  • Obligations under the Vaudreuil-Soulanges RCM's SADR;

     

  • Aspirations and objectives arising from various municipal policies (Strategic Planning, Family and Seniors Policy, Cultural Policy, Environmental Policy and Strategy, Living Together Policy, etc.);

     

  • Aspirations, expectations, and ideas gathered during the participatory process carried out upstream.
