Planning & Development

Master Plans and Development Bylaws and Procedures:

All local statutory plans must be aligned with the Alberta Provincial Regional Plans. At the top of the municipal planning hierarchy there are numerous master plans and bylaws that generally address the co-ordination of land use, future growth patterns and transportation and infrastructure.  These master plans are carried out through the adoption of other plans and bylaws that facilitate the implementation of these planning documents.

Subdivision and Development Authorities Bylaws:

Outside of the Land Use Bylaw, there are other bylaws that establish additional development authorities.  These authorities provide the ability for the Town to effectively administer and manage the regulatory framework represented by the LUB

Area Structure Plans (ASP): 

The purpose of ASPs, is to provide a framework for subdivision and development (build-out) of a previously undeveloped area of land.  ASPs, describe the orderly phasing of development, the land uses to be developed and their densities or intensity of development, and sets out the general location of major transportation routes and public utilities.  These plans would influence development permits and subdivisions applications. Policies may be taken into account when drafting these plans, or in some instances, the plans prompt the creation of new policies and procedures.
