PART 1 - ENACTMENT
1. Title
This Bylaw may be cited as the “Kneehill County Land Use Bylaw.”
2. Purpose
The purpose of this Bylaw is to regulate the orderly, economical and beneficial development and
use of land and buildings within the County, and for that purpose the Bylaw, among other things,
(a) Divides the County into land use districts;
(b) Prescribes and regulates, for each land use district, the purpose for which the land and
buildings may be used;
(c) Establishes the roles of the Development Authority;
(d) Establishes the method of making decisions on applications for development permits,
including the issuing of development permits;
(e) Sets out the method of appealing a decision relative to this Bylaw; and
(f) Provides the manner in which notice of the issuance of a development permit is given.
The Bylaw shall be applied in a manner that serves to implement statutory plans and local
plans, which have been adopted by the County, and is consistent with the Municipal
Government Act (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”) and the County's Municipal Development
Plan as amended from time to time.
3. Previous Bylaws
Bylaw No. 1773 and amendments thereto are hereby repealed.
4. Applications in Process
All redesignation, subdivision and development applications received in a complete form prior to
the effective date of this Bylaw shall be processed and considered based on the regulations in
effect consistent with Bylaw 1773, unless prior to a decision being made on the application, the
County receives a duly signed amended application requesting that said subdivision,
redesignation, or development application be processed and considered based on the
regulations of this Bylaw. No additional fees will be required for this amendment.
5. Severability
If any provision of this Bylaw is held to be invalid by a decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction, that decision will not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Bylaw.

6. Compliance with other Legislation
No developments, other than those uses and developments exempt under the Act and
regulations thereto and those designated as “Not Requiring a Development Permit” in this Land
Use Bylaw shall be undertaken within the County unless a development application has been
approved and a development permit has been issued.
A person applying for, or in possession of, a valid development permit is not relieved from the
responsibility of ascertaining and complying with, or carrying out development in accordance
with:
(a) The requirements of the Alberta Safety Codes Act, R.S.A. 2000, Chapter S-1;
(b) Bylaws and Policies of the County;

A-7; and
(f) General Municipal Servicing Standards, as amended.
7. Non-Conforming Buildings & Uses
(1) If a Development Permit has been issued on or before the day on which this Bylaw or a
Land Use Amendment Bylaw comes into force, and the Bylaw would make the development
in respect of which the permit was issued a non-conforming use or non-conforming building,
the development permit continues in effect in spite of the Bylaw coming into force.
(2) A non-conforming use of land or a non-conforming use of a building may be continued, but if
that use is discontinued for a period of six (6) consecutive months or more, any future use of
the land or buildings shall conform to the provisions of this Land Use Bylaw.
(3) A non-conforming use of part of a building may be extended throughout the building, but the
building, whether or not it is a non-conforming building, may not be enlarged or added to
and no structural alterations shall be made to it.
(4) A non-conforming use of part of a lot may not be extended or transferred in whole or in part
to any other part of the lot and no additional buildings shall be erected upon the lot while the
non-conforming use continues.
(5) A non-conforming building may continue to be used, but the building may not be enlarged,
added to, rebuilt or structurally altered except:
(a) as may be necessary to make it a conforming building;
(b) as the Development Authority considers necessary for the routine maintenance of the
building; and
(c) in accordance with Section 18(2) and Section 19(1) where the variance is considered by
the Development Authority to be minor.
(6) If a non-conforming building is damaged or destroyed to the extent of more than 75 percent
of the value of the building above its foundation, the building may not be repaired or rebuilt
except in accordance with the Land Use Bylaw.
Page 9

(7) The use of land or the use of a building is not affected by the reason only of a change of
ownership, tenancy, or occupancy of the land or building.
8. Establishment of Land Use Districts
(1) The locations and boundaries of the land use districts are shown on the Land Use District
Maps, which form Part XIV of this Bylaw.
(2) The District boundaries shown on the Land Use Maps shall be interpreted as follows:
(a) Where a boundary follows a public road, railway, pipeline, power line, utility right-of-way,
or easement, it follows the center line, unless otherwise clearly indicated;
(b) Where a boundary is shown as approximately following the County boundary, it follows
the County boundary;
(c) Where a boundary is shown as approximately following the edge or shorelines of any river,
lake, creek or other water body, it follows the edge or shoreline;
(d) Where a boundary is shown as approximately following a lot line, it shall be deemed to
follow the lot line;
(e) Where land use districts have been established in accordance with a proposed subdivision
of land, the districts shall be understood to conform to the certificate of title or the plan or
survey when registered in a land title office. Upon registration, the district boundary shall
be adjusted in accordance with the plan of survey or descriptive plan; and
(f) In circumstances not covered above, the location of the boundary shall be determined:
i. using any dimensions given on the map; or
ii. where no dimensions are given, measurement using the scale shown on the map.
(3) Where the exact location of the boundary of a land use district cannot be determined, using
the rules in Subsection (2), the Council, on its own motion or on a written request, shall fix
the location:
(a) In a manner consistent with the provisions of this Bylaw; and
(b) With the appropriate degree of detail required.
(4) The location of a district boundary, once fixed, shall not be altered except by an amendment
of this Bylaw.
(5) The Council shall keep a list of its decisions fixing the locations of district boundaries.
(6) Redesignation of any parcel shall only apply to the immediate area required to develop the
intended use. Approximate boundaries can be used for redesignation purposes. Where
subdivision is required to legally establish the property boundaries the dimensions of the
redesignated parcel will automatically conform to the subdivided parcel, irrespective of the
dimensions otherwise approved.

What is a
Development?
Development includes
the carrying out of any
construction,
excavation, stockpiling
or other operation, in,
on, over or under land,
or the making of any
change in the use or
intensity of use of any
land or building either
permanently or
temporarily. The
Province allows
municipalities, through
the Municipal Land
Use Bylaw, to regulate
developments via the
"Development Permit"
process; however, not
all developments
require the issuance of
a development permit.
Please consult with the
County Development
Officer in order to
determine whether
your development
requires the issuance
of a permit.

any development at the expiration of the permitted period;
(b) The Development Authority or the Municipal Planning Commission may require the
applicant to submit an irrevocable letter of credit or other acceptable form of security
guaranteeing the cessation or removal of the temporary use; and
(c) Any other conditions as deemed necessary, including a development agreement.

application to the Development Authority, provided that no changes have been made to the
original application. The development shall not be continued after expiration of the
development permit and prior to renewal of the development permit, unless the
Development Authority has agreed to allow it to continue during the processing of the
renewal application. The Development Authority has no obligation to approve it.
(5) When a permit for a temporary use expires, a new application is required. Such application
shall be dealt with as a new application and there shall be no obligation to approve it on the
basis that a previous permit had been issued.
(6) Upon expiration of a temporary development permit, the development or use thereby
authorized shall cease to be continued. All uses and/or buildings, structures, equipment, and
things erected, placed upon or used in or upon lands or buildings in connection with the
development shall be removed within 120 days from the lands or buildings upon, or in which
the development was being carried out. The County is not liable for any costs involved in the
cessation or removal of the development at the expiration of the time period stated in the
permit. Held security will be released upon completion of an inspection by the County,
certifying that the temporary use has been removed.

accordance with the provisions of this Bylaw and shall in no way relieve or excuse any
person from complying with this or any other bylaws, order and regulations affecting
such works; and
(b) Be without prejudice to the Development Authority’s rights to refuse any other permit or
approval that may be required of it in respect of the development by this or any other
bylaw.

26. Environmental Review
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Bylaw, the Development Authority may require
the following prior to approving any development on lands located within Kneehill County
(a) Recommendations for impact mitigation resulting from the approved environmental
review shall be applied and adhered to as a condition of the development permit;
(b) Where provincial or federal statute requires environmental reporting, such reporting may
be combined with County requirements for simplicity;
(c) A qualified environmental professional must undertake both basic reviews and full
reviews. Both types of reviews must specifically answer these three questions:
i. What are the environmental features of importance in the area potentially
impacted by the proposed development or land use?
ii. What are the reasonably foreseeable impacts on those environmental features of
importance by the proposed development?
iii. What actions or strategies are recommended to minimize negative impacts and
maximize positive impacts?
(d) A full environmental review shall be required for proposed land uses or developments
that are considered to have a high likelihood of having detrimental impacts on
environmental features of importance. Full environmental reviews will include a field-
based environmental impact and mitigation report undertaken during the season(s)
appropriate to observe the ecological functions of concern. Where more than one trigger
Page 28
Land Use Bylaw
1808
27
below activates an environmental review, the review shall consider all triggers in a
cumulative fashion.

iii. Any application that the Development Authority has reason to believe warrants a
full review, for cause.
(e) A basic environmental review may be required for proposed land uses or developments
that are considered to have a moderate likelihood of having detrimental impacts on
environmental features of importance. Basic environmental reviews do not require a field-
based environmental impact and mitigation report. Where more than one trigger below
activates an environmental review, the review shall consider all triggers in a cumulative
fashion.
These reviews may be required for:
i. New applications, or expansions of 10% or greater on existing development
permits, for:
a. Agricultural processing;
b. Airstrip;
c. Country recreation lodge;
