Land Use Bylaw Review

Land Use Bylaw Review
The Summer Village of Lakeview is embarking on an important project; the update the Land Use Bylaw within the Summer Village. The Current Land Use Bylaw is over 25 years old and does not reflect current provincial requirements. The purpose of the update is to improve the readability of the Bylaw and bring it up to date with current development trends and provincial regulations.

The purpose of Newsletter #1 is to provide residents with background information about the project and outline the opportunities for community members to get involved.

WHAT IS A LAND USE BYLAW?
The Land Use Bylaw establishes regulations to guide how land is used and developed. It divides a municipality into different districts or zones, and identifies what uses are either permitted or discretionary for each district.

The Land Use Bylaw also includes procedures for submitting, processing, and deciding upon subdivision and development applications. For some specific land activities, land use regulations are included to provide further clarity on how these activities may be developed in the municipality.

The purpose of a Land Use Bylaw is to separate use that might conflict with each other, and to protect property owners and residents from developments that may negatively impact the use and enjoyment of their property. The Land Use Bylaw must be consistent with the Summer Village’s development goals and objectives established in the the Summer Village of Lakeview Municipal Development Plan.

HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?
You will have multiple opportunities to contribute your feedback during the project. Once the draft Land Use Bylaw is prepared, it will be available on the Summer Village website for community members to review and provide feedback.
