Proposed Amendments to Municipal Development Plan Bylaw 2017-14

Body
Administration Recommendation
Administration supports the motions as presented.

The proposed MDP amendments support the development of "rural complete communities" in Parkland County. The proposed amendments are intended to encourage greater accessibility to amenities for residents, support ageing in place, and expansion of local and regional economic development opportunities that will benefit residents.
