BRAZEAU COUNTY LAND USE BYLAW UPDATE
project overview
Background
Stakeholder Consultation
Brazeau County adopted the Brazeau County Municipal
Development Plan (MDP) in 2011. It is a provincially required
statutory document that sets out guidelines for the orderly
development and compatibility for the many uses of land in the
County. The Land Use Bylaw (LUB) is a tool for implementing
the vision established in the MDP and the County is undergoing
the review process to ensure the vision can become a reality.
The County has retained a planning consulting firm,
planningAlliance from Edmonton, as a lead consultant for the
preparation of both these documents. The project is anticipated
to be completed by May 2015.
Steering Committee
Stakeholder consultation is a key component of this planning
process and a comprehensive stakeholder consultation
program is designed to seek detailed input from all stakeholders
including citizens, business community, civic agencies and
government agencies. Methods such as survey questionnaires,
interviews, focus group sessions and public open houses will
be utilized to engage stakeholders. The detailed consultation
and communication methods are described in the Consultation
Plan. Draft copies of this Consultation Plan are provided in this
Open House session.
In order to provide ongoing direction to the consulting team,
a Steering Committee comprising of key representatives from
the Planning Department, Council and citizens has been
established. The role of the Steering Committee is to provide
critical input related to the overall project direction and review
ongoing draft documents prepared by the consulting team
before they are presented to the public and Council for final
approvals.

What is a Municipal Development Plan?
What is a Land Use Bylaw?
A Municipal Development Plan is a statutory document that provides a long term vision for the
County and addresses issues such as land use, future growth nodes, economic development,
social development, transportation and servicing.
A Land Use Bylaw is an implementation tool that defines land use districts and development standards
applicable to all lands within the County and helps to implement the vision established in the Municipal
Development Plan.
The policies established in the Municipal Development Plan are ‘descriptive’ in nature and
guide the development and investment in the community by addressing issues such as:
A Land Use Bylaw provides ‘prescriptive’ regulations that are legally enforceable. The Land Use
Bylaw regulates orderly growth and protects the community from conflicting land uses and unsafe
developments. It divides the municipality into appropriate land use districts according to land use type
and intensity. The Land Use Bylaw controls the use of land in a community, outlining such aspects
as:
•Clarity on where new housing, commercial, recreational and industrial
development is preferred;
•What kind of services as well as social and physical infrastructure are
needed to achieve the long term vision; and
•Processes for development approvals.
•Location of varying types of land uses;
•Location and size of development parcels and structures;
•General development regulations for a variety of
developments; and
•Specific use related regulations for special use classes.
