Purpose

Summary
The Land Use Bylaw is a regulatory planning document intended to implement the County’s goals, objectives, and requirements relating to the use of land and built form. Administration relies heavily on this document on a day-to-day basis. It is also used by the development industry, property owners, and residents of County. It is a dynamic document and therefore needs to be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. Parkland County Council adopted the current Land Use Bylaw in 2009. This project aims to ensure the document is current, accurate, clear, and effective in its application. The Administrative report outlines administration's preferred option, which includes a thorough review and update of the Land Use Bylaw over three phases. The three phases are expected to take up to 24 months to complete. The Administrative Report provides additional details for each phase.
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications
The proposed project is consistent with Parkland County's Strategic Plan.

Cost: $100,000
