With the legalization of Cannabis coming on October 17, Lacombe County invites anyone interested to attend a public hearing on Bylaw 1285/18 (LUB) on Thursday, October 11, 2018, at 9 am in the Council Chambers at the Lacombe County Office.
The Federal Government and the Provincial Government of Alberta are legalizing the production, sale, and use of cannabis on October 17, 2018. Council gave first reading to Bylaw 1285/18 (below) which proposes a number of amendments to the LUB to accommodate cannabis legalization based on the feedback from the public meeting and survey carried out in July of this year. The amendments include the districts in which cannabis production facilities and cannabis retail stores can locate, and the County regulations which they have to comply with to be able to operate in the County.
The Town of Bentley and Lacombe County have reviewed the Town of Bentley/Lacombe County Intermunicipal Development Plan, originally adopted in 2009. This plan will, at a very broad scale, guide future growth for both municipalities and provide a forum for intermunicipal discussion and collaboration as development occurs in and around the urban fringe of the Town of Bentley.
The majority of the proposed amendments have been made in order to clarify the document, the overall intent of the plan has not changed. A number of changes are proposed in response to Bill 21, the Modernized Municipal Government Act, to ensure the Plan is in accordance with the policy directions included in the Act.
A Public Open House was held on Thursday, September 13 at the Bentley Community Hall to inform the public of the proposed changes. If you wish to provide feedback on the draft plan, please complete this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BentleyIDP
This survey will close on Thursday, September 20, at 4:30 pm.
The Milton Morningside Area Structure Plan was adopted in 2008. Since it’s adoption there has been a lot of changes within the County, and to the planning policies of the County such as the new Municipal Development Plan 2017. As such the Milton Morningside Area Structure Plan requires a thorough review. The County held a public meeting in May 2018 to find out your thoughts on how this area should develop. Based on the feedback received from this meeting, a draft plan has been prepared with a new land use concept and was presented on September 10, 2018. The main changes include a significant reduction in the land identified for multi-lot residential development, the inclusion of the Hamlet of Morningside and the inclusion of lands located between the QEII Highway, Highway 604 and Highway 2A for commercial and recreational development in the northwest of the plan area. Please see the draft plan for more details.
If you have land in or near the plan area or are a resident of the Hamlet of Morningside then this plan affects you.
