Planning & Development

Planning Documents for the Summer Village of Lakeview

The Planning and Development Department understands the values of the community and reflects those values into our plans, policies, and bylaws for the immediate and future development of our Village. Our core mandate is to assist our residents in achieving their development goals and objectives.

The Planning and Development Department is available to discuss your development and building plans. Before beginning any project, there are several steps you will need to take to make sure your new development complies with local bylaws and regulations.

Development Services are governed by provincial legislation, including the Municipal Government Act, Part 17, Planning and Development:  https://www.qp.alberta.ca/documents/acts/m26.pdf, the Subdivision and Development Regulation https://www.qp.alberta.ca/documents/Regs/2002_043.pdf, and numerous municipal bylaws, plans, and policies.

Statutory Plans
A statutory plan is a legal document that must go through three readings and a public hearing before it is adopted. Once adopted, there are legal obligations for the Municipality and the residents must adhere to the plan.

Non-Statutory Plans
Non-statutory plans are plans or documents passed by resolution. They are often developed to help encourage a certain direction for development or growth in a particular area.
