Land Use Bylaw – What is it?

The Land Use Bylaw regulates and controls the use and development of land and buildings in the Town of Ponoka. It establishes Land Use Districts across the Town and identifies the allowable uses for the lands and their development standards. The Land Use Bylaw gives landowners a level of certainty regarding their rights to develop their lands. It also ensures adjacent landowners can know what could be developed on neighbouring lands located next to their properties.
