Sturgeon County Council requests public input on proposed Bylaw 1707/26.
The applicant is proposing to redistrict a portion of 26431 Township Road 540 from AG (Agriculture District) to DC26 (Direct Control 26) to better accommodate an existing aggregate recycling yard business. The redistricting application is required to bring the property into compliance with the Land Use Bylaw.
A Direct Control (DC) District is a customized land-use district that allows for specific, site-unique regulations. It offers detailed control over development where standard land use districts are unsuitable or inadequate. It is often used for development requiring regulations beyond those provided by standard land use districts.
