Land Use Bylaw Review
Town Administration is reviewing its Land Use Bylaw to streamline regulations and implement the Municipal Development Plan. Your input helps shape the future of Calmar.
The Town of Calmar’s Land Use Bylaw is an important tool in shaping the future development of the community. So far, residents have provided input through an initial questionnaire, and Administration has created draft land use districts and uses. Throughout the process, Administration will continue checking in with the community and reporting progress to Council.
What is in a Land Use Bylaw?
Every municipality in Alberta is required to adopt a Land Use Bylaw. The LUB (Land Use Bylaw) has three key components:
Districts
Every parcel of land is assigned a land use district, also known as it zoning. Each district allows different types of development, such as residential or industrial uses.
Uses
Uses are the buildings and activities permitted on different pieces of land. Every district has one or more uses that are allowed on a site.
Regulations
The LUB includes both general and specific regulations. General regulations apply Town-wide, while specific regulations may apply only to certain districts or uses.
A proposed draft of the Land Use Bylaw districts and uses is available in the document below:
Become Involved in the Land Use Bylaw Review
This June, Town Administration will discuss the draft districts and uses with Calmar residents. There will be opportunities to provide verbal and written feedback on the future of the Land Use Bylaw. Light refreshments will also be provided.
