City of Medicine Hat launches survey for land use bylaw feedback

Jun 18, 2024 | 2:44 PM

The City of Medicine Hat has launched a community survey to get feedback on its land use bylaw.

The land use rules control development by categorizing all properties in a city into various land use districts, such as residential for homes or commercial for businesses.

The bylaw governs what land use may occur on every piece of property and establishes a system for issuing development permits.

The current version of the bylaw was passed in 2013.

A land use bylaw refresh was needed to better align with the policies of the city’s Municipal Development Plan that was passed by council in 2020, according to a news release.
