is pleased to announce that the new
Municipal Development Plan and
Land Use Bylaw were adopted by Council on
May 22, 2007
(see links above for documents and schedules).
The new documents provide in great detail the goals and visions of
future development in Lac La Biche
County.
The Planning and Development department
of Lac La Biche County
handles all development permit applications for new development in the
County. Permits are generally
required for, but are not limited to, such things as the following:
-
Single Detached Dwellings (includes
“cabins”, etc.)
-
Manufactured (mobile) Homes
-
Commercial/Industrial Developments
-
Accessory Buildings such as garages
and outdoor storage facilities (depending on the size and zoning)
-
Home Business (major and minor)
The above represents a small portion
only of the kinds of developments requiring permits.
In addition to development permits, many developments require permits
under the Safety Codes Act. Such
permits include building permits, electrical permits, plumbing/gas permits
and private sewage disposal permits.
The Planning and Development Department
also handles applications for rezoning and subdivisions.
Subdivision applications can involve from simple agricultural parcels or
more complex situations for multi-lot residential or Rural
Commercial/Industrial applications, and everything in between.
To better serve the public the
Planning and Development Department of Lac La Biche County is requesting
that individuals call ahead to book an appointment with our Planning and
Development Department.
Due to the heavy volume of
applications and development growth in Lac La Biche County
we anticipate that your wait time may be reduced by making an appointment.
For more information on permits,
subdivisions and rezoning, please contact the Lac La Biche County Office and
ask to speak with the Development Officer.
