Project
The Municipal District of Greenview (Greenview) is undertaking a project to update the Land Use Bylaw (LUB) in 2025. Greenview’s current LUB was adopted in April 2019, prior to the dissolution of the Town of Grande Cache, which is now a Hamlet within Greenview.
Purpose of the Project
1. Integrate the Hamlet of Grande Cache, and its Land Use Framework into Greenview’s Land Use Bylaw while minimizing potential impacts and divergent policies on growth.
2. Preserve or enhance rural area policies under the Current Greenview bylaw to add more permit exemptions, help home-based businesses, fix issues seen over the past five years, and provide for more development options.
3. Simplify land use in Grande Cache, enhance business opportunities throughout Greenview for home-based offices, and enhance Hamlet/ Commercial development options.
Background Information
In Fall 2024, a Land Use Bylaw Steering Committee was formed to review Greenview staff-recommended changes to land use regulations, approve engagement strategies used to ensure public participation and deliberate on how we can best integrate or balance the diverse options provided to administration by the public as we consult changes to the Land Use Bylaw. The Bylaw review is seeking to reduce red tape, improve rural landowner opportunities on their property and integrate the Hamlet of Grande Cache Land use Framework into a single land use bylaw for the MD of Greenview. The Committee contains both Council and public members selected from across the diverse areas of Greenview to ensure our broad interests and values are considered when establishing how the development and management of land use in Greenview will occur.
