Land Use Bylaw

Land Use Bylaw Rewrite

Click here to view a draft of our proposed updated Land Use Bylaw.

Our current Land Use Bylaw (LUB) dates back to 2017, and it has been revised many times since then: it's now due for a full rewrite. Alberta’s Municipal Government Act requires every municipality in the province to have a LUB for regulating development. Updating our LUB is a normal process that should happen every five to seven years, to help us keep up with the times and reduce red tape.

Open houses for residents to see and provide feedback on a draft of our proposed updated Land Use Bylaw have been scheduled!

Wednesday, Jan. 29 from 3:30-7:30 pm at Festival Centre, hamlet of Plamondon
Thursday, Jan. 30 from 3:30-7:30 pm at McArthur Place, hamlet of Lac La Biche

If you would like a physical copy of the draft bylaw in advance, please email planning.development@laclabichecounty.com to arrange pickup.

Land Use Bylaw Quick Facts

A draft of Lac La Biche County's proposed updated Land Use Bylaw is ready for public input.
The purpose of a Land Use Bylaw (LUB) is to assign each and every property in the County to a zoning category or district (like low-density residential, light industrial or highway commercial, to name a few) and then to outline the types of development that are permitted in each district.
Our existing LUB dates from 2017, and it has been amended many times as properties have been rezoned and regulations have been tweaked to keep up with the times. Now it's time to consolidate all of the amendments into a refreshed bylaw, with updated regulations that meet the community's needs and make sense for future growth and quality of life.

Where we are at now: Open houses for residents to see a draft of the proposed updated Land Use Bylaw have been scheduled. All of the feedback we receive from community members will be compiled and presented to Council for consideration. Council must give the proposed bylaw three readings before it becomes official.
