Land Use Bylaw
Principal Planning
The Land Use Bylaw is the principal planning document that is used in the day-to-day control of development activities within the Municipal District of Bighorn. Policies in the Land Use Bylaw are consistent with the general planning policies within the Municipal Development Plan as well as policies within applicable Area Structure / Redevelopment Plans for an area.
Purpose
The purpose of the Land Use Bylaw is to regulate the use and development of land and buildings within the municipality to achieve an orderly and efficient pattern of development. The Land Use Bylaw functions by dividing land within the municipality into districts and specifies development regulations within each of these districts or zones. It also delineates the procedures for processing and making decisions on development permit applications, and mechanisms for enforcing land use regulations.
Amendments
On September 11, 2018 Council adopted the Land Use Bylaw 09-Z/18. Applications may be made to Council for an amendment to the Land Use Bylaw.
Additional Information
For more information about the Land Use Bylaw updates, please contact the Director of Planning Services, Jose Reyes, at 403-673-3611, Ext. 222.

Proposed Bylaw No. 20-Z/22 - Omnibus Land Use Bylaw Amendments - Information Page
The Land Use Bylaw (LUB) is the MD of Bighorn’s primary tool for regulating how land is used and developed in the MD. Land Use Bylaw 09-Z/18 was adopted by Council in September, 2018. The LUB is intended to be a living document which grows with the MD and responds to current issues and challenges. Throughout the past several years, the planning department has been tracking a list of housekeeping amendments to ensure that the Land Use Bylaw is current and effective in regulating development within the MD. It is anticipated that these omnibus amendments will create efficiencies in development approvals and enforcement. The proposed Land Use Bylaw amendments are contained within Bylaw 20-Z/22.
