Purpose
To provide Council with the final Wabamun Lake Sub-Watershed Land Use Plan and revised Action Plan for approval.
Summary
In July of 2014 Administration began work on the Wabamun Lake Sub-Watershed Land Use Plan. The Plan was completed in November 2016 and provided guidance on the development of future land use planning and environmental polices found in the Municipal development Plan, Bylaw 2017-14. The Plan also informed the completion of other County plans and policies identified in attachment 2 (WLSUP Factsheet). Since the completion, Administration has also revised the Wabamun Action Plan to ensure actions reflect current initiatives being undertaken by the County and its stakeholders.
The Wabamun Lake Sub-Watershed Land Use Plan was completed in three phases with the fourth Phase being the toolbox which Council asked to be revised. A description of the phases is found in Attachment 3 under (WLSLUP Revised Action Plan).
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications:
Approval of the Wabamun Lake Sub-Watershed Land Use Plan and the revised Action Plan will ensure report and project findings are implemented into future County operations and future plans, studies and reports. The Plan has already been instrumental in the completion of several major statutory plans, polices and regulations.
