Section 6 of Kneehill County’s Procedural Bylaw #1779 states that regular meetings
of Council shall be held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month provided

Benefits/
Disadvantages:
There are no Council meeting dates in 2020 that fall on a holiday.
Summer 2020- Kneehill County last summer had two Council dates, one in July
and one in August. Does Council wish to continue this and would the third
Tuesday of July and August work?
December 2020- Kneehill County usually plans to hold one Council meeting in
December. Recommendation is to hold the December Council meeting on
December 8th, the second Tuesday of that month.
Organizational Meeting: Under section 192 (1) of the MGA, a Council must hold
an organizational meeting annually, no later than 2 weeks after the third Monday in
October. It is recommended to hold Kneehill County’s Organizational meeting on
Tuesday, October 27th, 2020.

INTRODUCTION
Kneehill County and the Town of Trochu recognize that intermunicipal planning is an effort between two
or more municipalities to make long term land use planning decisions. The preparation of an
Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) is to foster a collaborative planning approach which will work
towards avoiding future land use conflicts for lands along the common border. This will ensure that certain
identified areas are viewed with a regional perspective. By implementing a plan that contains both
policies for future uses as well as agreed dispute mechanisms, urban and rural municipalities can reach
agreement without negative impacts on either municipality. From the perspective of both municipalities,
enhanced management of the land within the IDP Area, identified on the map as zones 1 and 2, will prove
advantageous for the long-term interests of the municipalities and their residents.
MUTUAL OBJECTIVES
The two municipalities agree:
To develop an IDP framework for how the County and the Town will collaborate together in order
to plan and develop lands contained within the IDP Area.
To promote open communication between the municipalities, the public, and interested
stakeholders, and provide meaningful involvement and consultation.
To respect each other’s jurisdictional autonomy and integrity.
To provide a framework for the provision of services and infrastructure required for the IDP Area
that demonstrates an equitable, efficient and proactive approach.
To utilize the IDP as a guide to collaboratively plan for lands within the IDP Area that will promote
opportunities for residential, commercial, industrial and economic development while minimizing
land use and environmental impacts.
PURPOSE AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES
This IDP has been prepared in accordance with the Municipal Government Act which encourages
cooperation and coordination between neighbouring municipalities with regard to planning matters in the
vicinity of their joint boundaries. The IDP creates a shared vision for future growth by establishing a long-
term strategy balancing the interests of both municipalities. This IDP intends to promote ongoing
coordination, collaboration and cooperation between the two municipalities by providing a framework to
discuss planning matters that affect and influence one another.
For the purposes of this process, the County and the Town agree to respect the following guiding
principles:
Mutual respect and equity.
117 2019.10.22 Organizational Meeting

Cooperation, collaboration, communication and trust.
Coordinated, consistent and timely response.
Respect for environment and natural capital.
Public engagement and consultation.
Economic growth and development.
PLAN AREA
1. Urban Fringe or Interface Area (Residential Uses)
This area is illustrated as Zone #1. These lands would best accommodate future
residential development although those areas along Highway 21 could support highway
commercial. (See Schedule 1)
2. Future Land Concept (Commercial and Industrial Uses)
These are identified as Zone #2, and are areas where different land uses meet and
interact. These lands serve as a guide in locating future commercial and industrial
development due to the proximity to highway access. These lands provide general
locations for future land uses, however development constraints exist in these areas due
to topographical features of the lands. (See Schedule 1)
The Town and County, as per this Plan, shall strive to engage in effective dialogue when considering land
use in the Plan Area, while still maintaining complete jurisdiction on lands within their own boundaries.
The Town and County may collaborate and investigate methods of giving support to projects that may
mutually benefit or enhance the quality of life of residents from both municipalities. This could be in the
form of in-kind donations, materials, municipal letters of support, application for grants, or other more
permanent arrangements upon mutual agreement. Both municipalities shall act as good neighbours with
respect to Urban Fringe or Interface Areas and Future Land Concept Areas illustrated as Zone #1 and #2.
Each will ensure future land use designations and interface boundaries are compatible and consistent with
both jurisdictions’ goals and aspirations.
Kneehill County will notify the Town of any proposals, applications, studies, or future plans for areas as
illustrated in Zones #1 and #2 within the County boundary, and provide informative communication and
invitations to respond. The Town will notify the County of any proposals, applications, studies, or future
plans for areas as illustrated in Zones #1 and #2 within their Town boundary and provide informative
communication and invitations to respond.
Where an intermunicipal referral is required by legislation or policies contained in this Plan, both
municipalities agree to share the mailing address and property ownership information for circulation
purposes with the adjacent municipality, and where applicable, the municipality’s processing agency.
All subdivision and redesignation applications for lands within the identified Plan Areas shall be referred to
the other municipality for comment prior to a decision being rendered.
118 2019.10.22 Organizational Meeting

All discretionary use applications within the identified Plan Areas shall be referred to the other
municipality for comment prior to a decision being rendered.
As per Section 636(1)(d) of the Municipal Government Act, notification to the Town or County will be
circulated when changes to either Municipal Development Plan are being proposed. The Town or County
will have an opportunity to provide comments regarding the proposed changes.
POLICIES
Managing Growth – IDP policies must be flexible enough to permit all reasonable developments in a
contiguous manner. The IDP has a goal to facilitate orderly, efficient and environmentally sound
development compatible with the character and physical setting of the IDP Area while minimizing conflicts
between agricultural and urban land uses.
Future development shall be planned in accordance with the zones identified in the IDP Area
map. Land uses within the current Town boundary shall be guided by the Town’s Municipal
Development Plan and minor amendments to the MDP shall not require an amendment to the
IDP. Land uses within the current County boundary shall be guided by the County’s Municipal
Development Plan, and minor amendments to the MDP shall not require an amendment to the
IDP.
The Town and County shall endeavour to implement cost-sharing arrangements supporting an
equitable distribution of costs associated with increased growth and development in the Joint
IDP Areas.
Both municipalities shall provide a variety of development opportunities within their jurisdiction.
Future development in proximity to Highway 21 and 585 shall be planned in consultation with
Alberta Transportation.
Plan Area Environment – The natural environment surrounding the Town does not respect municipal
boundaries. Water courses, hills, soil conditions and vegetation intermingle across urban and rural
boundaries as well as the Plan boundary. (See Schedule 2)
Both municipalities shall recognize the value of the natural environment and its contribution to
quality of life.
Proposed development in areas that are prone to erosion, landslides, or any other natural
hazards, as well as proposed development in proximity to steep or unstable slopes will be subject
to requirements as identified in subject Land Use
Bylaws to the satisfaction of the approving
authority.
Applicants of a redesignation, subdivision or
development on lands adjacent to a water course
shall be required to obtain confirmation of the
1:100-year flood level on the affected lands.
Applicants may also be required to provide an
119 2019.10.22 Organizational Meeting
6
environmental review prepared by a qualified professional where an environmentally sensitive
feature is present on the affected lands as identified by the Province of Alberta.
Transportation Systems – The Town and the County recognize the importance of establishing and
creating a continuous network of roads within the Plan Area in order to efficiently manage future growth.
Subdivision and development proposals located in the IDP Area must address linkages between
the two municipalities to accommodate layout, setbacks, and road uses to ensure orderly and
efficient transition to urban densities.
Subdivision and development decisions within the IDP Area will have regard for future road
networks. Each municipality shall be notified of any subdivision or development proposal in the
other municipality that will result in access being required from a
road under its control or management.
Accounting for the location of existing development,
topography and other site specific considerations, there may be
circumstances where road alignments will need to be altered in
responding to the needs of subdivision or development.
Economic and Joint Development – Planning future growth may raise opportunities in the IDP Area for
mutually beneficial economic development and joint development opportunities, and these may arise in
the form of shared servicing upgrades or community based facilities.
Both municipalities shall work together to ensure a strong, stable and diversified local and
regional economy.
The Town and County shall ensure the IDP provides a suitable inventory of lands for commercial
and industrial development.
The Town and County shall work together to explore areas of mutual interest where agreements
can be considered to ensure that development opportunities will be to the benefit of both
municipalities.
Agricultural Uses – Agricultural uses represent the largest land use category of the IDP. The IDP strives
to maintain the importance of agriculture by directing future growth in a compact, contiguous manner
than minimizes intrusions into agriculture operations. This will ensure agricultural operations continue to
operate and remain a significant contributor to the local economy.
Existing agriculture areas shall continue to be used for agricultural activities as provided for in the
County’s Municipal Development Plan and Land Use Bylaw, unless a landowner proposes to
convert agricultural lands to another opportunity provided for in the IDP.
When making decisions regarding development on or adjacent to agricultural lands, both
municipalities shall give consideration for agricultural operators to pursue normal activities
without interference or restriction based on their impact on adjacent uses.
120 2019.10.22 Organizational Meeting

Residential Uses (Zone #1) – These areas are best suited for future residential developments, and are
sited to reduce conflicts between residential and non-residential land uses. A balanced range of housing
opportunities compatible with market preferences will be encouraged considering the needs of existing
and proposed adjacent land uses. To ensure that the areas are preserved for future urban growth, and
future integration and the urban fabric is not compromised, the following development conditions shall
apply, unless otherwise agreed to by the Town and County:
An urban residential development proposal may be accompanied by an application for annexation
to the Town.
A prerequisite to a multi-lot subdivision or development will be the preparation of an Outline Plan
or Area Structure Plan to the Town and County’s satisfaction to ensure that issues relating to
future land use, servicing transitional treatments and phasing are addressed in a manner that
ensures compatibility with existing or proposed development.
Should the proposed subdivision or development occupy only a portion of the quarter section, the
Area Structure Plan or Outline Plan shall describe what is proposed for the ultimate build-out of
the lands and how the proposed development will be integrated into the Town upon annexation.
Water and sanitary sewer may be extended from the Town. Development levies or equivalent
contributions shall be collected from the benefiting developments so that the cost of these
extensions does not directly impact existing residents of the Town or County.
Best management practices for storm water management shall be required in accordance with
Alberta Environment and Parks regulations.
Other infrastructure standards shall be negotiated with the Town to ensure that adequate
standard for urban residential development are met.
Any residential development proposed adjacent to
a watercourse or wetland or hazard lands may
require a geotechnical study and environmental
review to confirm the site is suitable for the
intended use and describe the potential impacts of
the development and the extent to which these
impacts may be mitigated.
Commercial and Industrial Uses (Zone #2) – These areas are best suited for commercial and industrial
development, and would provide a stronger level of certainty for prospective developers. Promoting a
well-planned commercial and industrial development will support the creation of a strong and diversified
economy, expanding the availability of employment opportunities and contributing to a balanced
municipal assessment base.
Both municipalities shall work together to maximize the advantages of commercial and industrial
opportunities potentially offered by the proximity to Highways 21 and 585.
A prerequisite to multi-lot subdivision and development will be the preparation of an Outline Plan
or an Area Structure Plan to the Town and County’s satisfaction to ensure that issues relating to
121 2019.10.22 Organizational Meeting
8
future land use, servicing transitional treatments and phasing are addressed in a manner that
ensures compatibility with existing or proposed development within the Town.
Water and sanitary sewer may be extended from the Town. Development levies or equivalent
contributions shall be collected from the benefiting developments so that the cost of these
extensions does not directly impact existing residents of the Town or County.
Best management practices for storm water management shall be required in accordance with
Alberta Environment and Parks regulations.
Buffers or similar mechanisms to mitigate potential conflict between commercial/industrial,
agricultural and other uses shall be used where needed.
Any commercial/industrial development proposed adjacent to a watercourse or wetland or hazard
lands may require a geotechnical study and an environmental review to confirm the site is suitable
for the intended use and describe the potential impacts of the development and the extent to
which these impacts may be mitigated.
Plan Review
The implementation of this Plan is intended to be an ongoing process to ensure it is maintained
and remains applicable. A committee with joint representation will ensure continued dialogue
and cooperation, as the purpose of this committee is to promote active cooperation and conflict
resolution through a consensus-based approach.
For the purposes of administering the monitoring of the IDP, the Town and County will establish
the Intermunicipal Development Plan Committee (the Committee) comprised of an even number
of members of Council from both the Town and the County. Each municipality may appoint an
alternate Committee member in the event a regular member cannot attend a scheduled meeting.
Alternate Committee members shall have standing.
The IDP will be formally reviewed by this Committee once every three years, beginning in 2019 in
order to confirm or recommend amendments of any particular policy contained herein. The
committee will prepare recommendations for consideration by the Municipal Councils. Members
of the Committee shall be appointed by their respective Councils at their Organizational Meeting.
If a Council wishes to appoint a new member to the Committee (including the alternate), they
must do so by motion of Council at a regular Council meeting. The municipalities shall notify one
another upon appointing members and alternate members to the Committee.
122 2019.10.22 Organizational Meeting

Functions of the Committee
The Town and the County agree that the main functions of the Committee are to:
Create a forum for dialogue on issues of common interest and concern;
Address concerns regarding the policies of the Plan;
Address proposed amendments to the Plan;
Engage in resolving any conflicts or disputes which arise from this Plan – both municipalities will
equally share costs associated with using outside assistance to resolve a dispute; and
Address any other land use issues deemed appropriate, but which are not explicitly identified in
the Plan.
Meetings of the Committee shall be held on an “as needed basis”, or at the request of either
municipality. Committee meetings should be held as soon as possible if any conflict arises, or if
any matter is brought before it.
The municipality that called the meeting of the Committee shall host and chair the meeting and is
responsible for preparing and distributing agendas and minutes.
Both Councils agree the Committee is not a decision making body and that the Committee shall
issue a written response in the form of comments and/or recommendations to the appropriate
decision making body.
Annexation
The County recognizes and agrees that the Town will need additional land to grow and will
support annexations that will provide for 30-40 years of projected growth within the boundaries
of the Town.
The annexation process may be initiated by the Town in accordance with the requirements of the
Municipal Government Act.
The Town and County will endeavour to reach an intermunicipal agreement on the annexation
prior to submitting the annexation to the Municipal Government Board.
Dispute Resolution
The policies of this Plan are designed to be general in nature, ensuring that both the Town and County
maintain jurisdiction over the decisions made within their borders. It is anticipated that by following the
process below, any disputes or conflicts that may arise can first be avoided, and where necessary, settled
at the local level. Only in those circumstances where a resolution cannot be achieved locally would the
dispute be referred to outside parties.
123 2019.10.22 Organizational Meeting
10
It is important to avoid dispute by ensuring the Plan is adhered to as adopted, including full circulation of
any permit or application that may affect the municipality as required in the Plan and prompt
enforcement of the Plan policies.
The Town and County agree that disputes relating to the IDP shall be restricted to the following:
Lack of agreement on proposed amendments to the plan
Lack of agreement on any proposed statutory plan, land use bylaw or amendment to either
located within or affecting the Intermunicipal Development Plan Area
Lack of agreement on an interpretation of this plan
Dispute Resolution Process
The formal dispute resolution process may only be initiated by the Town or County Councils.
Identification of a dispute and the desire to go through the dispute resolution process may occur
at any time regarding a dispute matter and may only occur within 30 calendar days of a decision
made pursuant to the above noted areas that may be disputed. Once either municipality has
received written notice of a dispute, the dispute resolution process must be started within 15
calendar days of the date the written notice was received, unless both Chief Administrative
Officers agree otherwise.
In the event the dispute resolution process is initiated, the municipality having authority over the
matter shall not give any further approval in any way until the dispute has been resolved or the
mediation process has been concluded.
The process shall be as follows:
o Administrative Review – the Chief Administrative Officers of both municipalities will meet
in an attempt to resolve the issue first. Failing resolution, the dispute will then be referred
to the Intermunicipal Planning Committee.
o Intermunicipal Planning Committee Review – the Committee will convene to consider and
attempt to resolve the dispute. In the event a resolution is not achieved by the 30th day
following the first meeting of the Intermunicipal Planning Committee, either municipality
may refer the dispute to mediation.
o Mediation – the services of an independent mediator will be retained, with the mediator
to present a written recommendation to both Councils. The costs of mediation shall be
shared equally between the Town and County.
o Municipal Government Board – In the event the mediation process does not resolve the
dispute, the initiating municipality may proceed to adopt the bylaw and in accordance
with the Municipal Government Act, the other municipality will have the right to appeal to
the Municipal Government Board.
