Land Use Bylaw
The Municipal District of Bonnyville is a growing and evolving municipality. Citizens’ expectations of the municipality, its Administration, and the various policies and regulations that enable growth are becoming more sophisticated. The Land Use Bylaw (LUB) is a quintessential piece of legislation for residents and business community. It directly affects residents and local businesses and their day-to-day life and operations in the municipality.
The LUB assigns land use districts (zoning) to every parcel of land within the municipality. The LUB guides the use and development of land and buildings in accordance with the policy direction outlined in Intermunicipal Development Plans, the Municipal Development Plan, and Area Structure Plans. It is the mechanism used to implement the policy of the higher order statutory planning documents. The graphic below illustrates the hierarchy of plans and how they interact with one another.
