Various Land Use Bylaw Amendments

OVERVIEW
To provide options to Council in relation to proposed amendments to the Town's various land use bylaws in order to address a number or issues identified through the day-to-day use of the bylaws. 

BACKGROUND
The Town’s Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw provides the policy framework for how the
community will grow and change over time.

The Town’s Zoning Bylaw implements the OCP policies by regulating land use on a parcel-by-
parcel basis in a manner that is consistent with the Plan.

The Town’s Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw further supports the OCP and
Zoning bylaws by regulating the infrastructure standards and requirements for subdivision and
development (e.g. roads, water, sewer, drainage).

Finally, the Town’s Land Use Procedures Bylaw establishes the processes and requirements for
applications related to land use approvals required under the OCP, Zoning and SDS bylaws
(e.g. amendments and permits).

Over time, day-to-day use as well as the processing of development proposals can reveal gaps, ambiguities, or unintended consequences that weren't evident during the drafting of these types of land use bylaws.
