Planning & Development
For planning and development within the Municipal District of Fairview No. 136 a Municipal Development Plan has been established according to Section 632 of the Municipal Government Act.
The Municipal Development Plan is directed towards the following goals:
a) Identifying a long term future land use concept for the municipality.
b) Coordinating land use and infrastructure planning.
c) Establishing a framework for long term transportation improvements.
d) Providing general requirements for municipal services and utilities.
The purpose of the Land Use Bylaw No. 876 is to regulate and control the use, conservation and development of land and buildings within the Municipality in order to achieve orderly, planned and economic development of land, including;
- The division of the Municipal District into land use districts
- The establishment and prescription for each land use district, and the uses for which the land, buildings and development may be used and regulated;
- To establish a procedural framework for decision making on subdivision referrals, stop orders, land use bylaw amendments and applications for development permits including the issuance of development permits;
- To establish the office of one or more Development Officers;
- To establish the size and density for each land use district;
- To provide a method of notice to those individuals directly affected by the issuance of a development permit.
It is intended that Council will use the policies and objectives outlined in the Municipal Development Plan and Land Use Bylaw when evaluating proposals for future land use change, subdivision and development.
