Clearwater County goes back to the drawing board with Land Use Bylaw amendments
Clearwater County Council held a public hearing on Tuesday in regards proposed changes to the county’s Land Use Bylaw.
After residents saw what changes were being looked, councillors stated that they had received multiple complaints, most notable in regards to livestock, holiday trailers, and sea containers.
County originally adopted the land use bylaw in September 2001, following changes to the County’s Municipal Development Plan (MDP). Administration noted that the document was not meant for large updates or any major changes, only for points of clarifications.
Under the Minor Agricultural Pursuits section of the bylaw, which states that someone can use their Country Residence Agriculture “CRA”, and Country Residence “CR” district parcels for a small number of livestock for exclusive use of the occupant of the lot, a sentence was added stating that no sales of the livestock, or sales of the production associated with the livestock, would be permitted.
