Sturgeon County Council requests public input on proposed Bylaw 1712/26.
The applicant has requested that a section of land south of Alcomdale (at Highway 44 and Township Rd 564) be redistricted (rezoned) to bring the property into compliance with the County’s Land Use Bylaw.
The proposed bylaw would redistrict sections SE & SW 31-56-26-4, and NW, NE & SE 30-56-26-4:
- Current land use district: Agriculture (AG)
- Proposed land use district: DC25 – Direct Control District 25
A Direct Control (DC) District is a customized land-use designation within municipal zoning that allows for specific, site-unique rules. It offers detailed control over development where standard zones are
inadequate. It is often used for unique sites or innovative projects needing precise regulation beyond typical zoning.
Please note that a Public Hearing for Bylaw 1698/25 – which also considered the redistricting of the Morinville Colony land – was held on March 10, 2026. Bylaw 1698/25 is no longer being considered by Council. Members of the public who wish to provide input to Council must make new submissions specifically related to Bylaw
1712/26.
