Provide guidance and feedback based on members’ personal experiences with development and permitting in the City of Penticton;
Develop recommendations to inform a broader third-party review of the Development Services Division; and
Prepare recommendations for Council’s consideration regarding potential improvements to development approval processes and the Division overall.
