Land Use Bylaw Review - Project Survey #1

Project Background

The Village of Mannville has outgrown its 2006 Land Use Bylaw. Legislative changes to the Municipal Government Act, the adoption of new statutory plans, and increasing interest in emerging housing types such as Ready-to-Move homes and micro dwellings have created a clear need for modernization. This Land Use Bylaw review is an opportunity not only to update regulations, but to strengthen the Village’s overall planning framework so that it remains clear, defensible, and practical for years to come.
Project Scope

The Village of Mannville’s current Land Use Bylaw (LUB) has served as the primary regulatory framework, but the emerging local priorities have created the need for a comprehensive review and modernization of the document.
Recent amendments to the Municipal Government Act (MGA), shifting demographic trends, increased development pressures, and the need to better align land use regulations with the Village’s long-term vision underscore the importance of updating the LUB.
  • Ensure alignment with provincial legislation, regional plans, and contemporary planning standards.
  • Improve clarity, usability, and administrative efficiency for residents, developers, and municipal staff.
  • Modernize zoning districts, development regulations, and definitions to reflect current and anticipated land use needs.
  • Address emerging issues such as infill development, affordable housing, environmental stewardship, and the integration of new infrastructure and servicing requirements.
  • Support consistent, transparent, and defensible development decision-making.
