Sturgeon County Council requests public input on proposed Bylaw 1721/26.
The property owner would like to operate an off-road vehicle track on their land at 57508 Lily Lake Road. This land is zoned as AG-Agriculture, which does not allow this type of activity.
The applicant is requesting the land be rezoned to REC – Recreational District to allow them to apply for a ‘Recreation, outdoor motorized vehicle facility’ development permit.
Each time land is rezoned, a bylaw is needed to amend the Land Use Bylaw, and a public hearing must be held.
Legal land description: SE-31-57-23-4
