Planning and Development Policies and Resources

In making decisions regarding issues of planning and development, municipalities have much to consider, including federal and provincial legislation, environmental and historical impacts and the approved policies of the municipality itself. Section 638.2 of the Municipal Government Act (MGA) requires all municipalities within Alberta to have a listing of all policies and bylaws not approved under Part 17 of the MGA that influence Planning decisions available on their public websites:

A listing of all the municipalities’ approved policies which relate to planning and development (Part 17 of the MGA)
A summary of these policies, how they relate to each other and to other statutory plans and bylaws
Any documents incorporated by reference in any such bylaws

Master Plans and Development Bylaws and Procedures:

At the top of the municipal planning hierarchy there are numerous master plans such as the Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) and the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) that generally address the co-ordination of land use, future growth patterns and transportation and infrastructure. These master plans are carried out through the adoption of other plans and bylaws that facilitate the implementation of these planning documents.

Subdivision and Development Authorities Bylaws:

Outside of the Land Use Bylaw, there are other bylaws that establish additional development authorities. These authorities provide the ability for the Town to effectively administer and manage the regulatory framework represented by the LUB.

Additional Bylaws and Policies that Influence Development:

There are numerous policies and bylaws that relate to the finer details of land development and the issuing of development permits. These policies are often related to construction practices and the enforcement of standards.

Subdivision and Development Applications and Checklists

Area Redevelopment Plans (ARP):

An ARP is a statutory plan that guides the redevelopment, preservation and rehabilitation of an existing neighbourhood. ARPs provide a planning framework to guide redevelopment decisions within a defined area of the Town.

Infrastructure:

Transportation is linked to all aspects of daily life in Provost, as are the provision, routing and planning of potable, storm, and sanitary water systems. The community’s economic and social wellbeing depends greatly on its infrastructure providing safe, efficient and sustainable servicing for the community. The Town has a number of plans, studies and bylaws that aim to achieve safe, efficient and sustainable infrastructure as Provost grows and changes over the long term. These plans may influence development permit applications, subdivision approvals, and the preparation of statutory plans.

Parks and Recreation:

These plans help to provide guidance for passive and active recreational opportunities in Provost and may be referenced in other planning documents such as ASPs, Outline Plans, Concept Schemes, and subdivision and development permit applications
