Work on That Inc., on behalf of their client Genics Inc., is seeking permission to add a special discretionary use to the Agricultural ‘A’ District of the County’s Land Use Bylaw to consider a “treatment centre” on Pt. SW 16-39-01-W5M.
The subject lands are accessed by the Jarvis Bay Access Road (Township Road 39-2), near the Summer Village of Birchcliff, The Slopes on Sylvan Lake, and the Jarvis Bay Provincial Park.
In 2011, Qualico Communities received approval to redesignate approximately 38.69 hectares (95.61 acres) on W½ 34-39-02-W5M to Residential Conservation Cluster ‘R-RCC’ District, to develop a 59-lot residential development, to be known as Palm Cove.
The property is situated on the north shore of Sylvan Lake, directly west of the Summer Village of Sunbreaker Cove and directly east of the existing 6-lot Palm Bay residential subdivision. Access to the property is directly from Rainy Creek Road.
Qualico Communities is now seeking permission to slightly revise the original approval, in Stage 1 of the development. The proposed revision has been prepared to retain as much as possible from the original approval.
The developer is hosting a virtual public meeting on Wednesday, February 9, 2022.

The intent of this project is to develop a new Area Structure Plan (ASP) with a plan area that covers the lands south of Highway 11 to the Red Deer River, from Haynes Road, east to Highway 21. The new ASP will replace the existing South of Highway 11 Area Multi-Lot Country Residential Outline Plan (OP) which was originally adopted in 2001.
Lacombe County Council recently endorsed the South of Highway 11 (east of Haynes) Terms of reference and accepted the associated background report for information.
A public open house has also been scheduled for February 28, 2022 @ 7:00 PM at the Haynes Hall, to present the project and solicit public feedback early on in the process. The Highway 11 (East of Haynes) Background Report and Terms of Reference documents can be viewed below.
