Proposed changes to Mountain View County's new Land Use Bylaw

2009 May 26th

Mountain View County initiated a review of the Land Use Bylaw (LUB) and development of new Commercial / Industrial Design Guidelines in April 2008. The LUB, which guides how land in the County is used and developed, is being updated to reflect new policies in the 2007 Municipal Development Plan. Design guidelines are also being created to encourage higher quality architecture and landscaping for new commercial and industrial developments. The project is being overseen by a Steering Committee. Edmonton-based planning consultant Armin A. Preiksaitis & Associates Ltd. was retained by the County to undertake the LUB review and preparation of the Design Guidelines.

The project is in Phase III of a four-phased work plan with the draft Land Use Bylaw and Commercial / Industrial Design Guidelines being prepared we want to seek feedback from property owners and members of the public on new strategic directions being proposed.
