Zoning Bylaw Amendment – Bylaw No. 2 Of 2023

Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the City of Prince Albert intends to consider Bylaw No. 2 of 2023 to amend Bylaw No. 1 of 2019, known as the City of Prince Albert Zoning Bylaw.

Reason for the Amendment: At the City Council meeting held on Monday, February 13^th, 2023, first reading of Bylaw No. 2 of 2023 was given and Administration was authorized to provide Public Notification for a Public Hearing. Bylaw No. 2 of 2023 proposes the following changes to the current Zoning Bylaw, which are the result of ongoing Administrative review:

• Permitting Shipping Containers in the Future Urban Development (FUD) and Low Density Country Residential (CR1) zoning districts. Shipping Containers are permitted in a variety of zoning districts, including Agricultural, which is similar to FUD. Shipping Containers are proposed to be accommodated in CR1 as well due to the large minimum lot size requirement of 20,000m² and expected minimal impact;
• Updating the definition of Commercial Service Establishment to accommodate newer industries with similar land use impacts; and
• Changing Business Complex and Business Group uses from discretionary requiring City Council approval to discretionary requiring Development Officer approval in order to remove unnecessary delays in the development process.

Therefore, City Council, at its meeting to be held on Monday, March 6^th, 2023, at 5:00 p.m., will consider all submissions both written and verbal respecting the Public Hearing for the above bylaw.  If you would like your written submission reviewed by City Council PRIOR to the meeting, it would be preferable if it were provided by 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday, February 28^th, 2023. In accordance with City Council’s Procedure Bylaw No. 23 of 2021, any written submissions must be provided to the City Clerk.  Verbal submissions shall be heard during the Public Hearing portion of the meeting.

INFORMATION – Information regarding the proposed amendment may be directed to the following without charge:
