The District of Elkford is holding a public hearing March 4 so the public can have their say on a zoning bylaw revamp.

Pursuant to Section 890 and 892 of the Local Government Act, the Council of the District of Elkford will hold the hearing to hear representations of persons who deem their interest affected by the District of Elkford Zoning Bylaw No. 737, 2013 at: 6 p.m. on Monday, March 4, at Council Chambers, 816 Michel Road.

Intent of Bylaw: To regulate the location and use of buildings and structures and the use of land within the District of Elkford pursuant to the provisions of the Local Government Act.

Background: In the spring of 2011, the district commenced the review of a number of development bylaws with the intent of fully updating these bylaws to conform to the District’s new Official Community Plan that was adopted in May of 2010. The proposed Zoning Bylaw received multiple reviews from the District of Elkford council, the Bylaw Review Working Group, and Council’s Citizens’ Advisory Committee. In addition, an open house was held, where staff was available to answer any questions from the public. The Zoning Bylaw received its first two readings during the January 28 regular council meeting. Following the Public Hearing the bylaw will be submitted for the third reading and adoption on March 25.

The proposed bylaw may be inspected between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, from February 14 to March 4 at the District of Elkford Office and on the district’s website at www.elkford.ca.
