MAPS 53 INTRODUCTION SECTION 1. 2 The overall purpose of the Kneehill County Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is to provide guidance and clarity to ensure that future growth is sustainable, orderly, appropriate, complementary, efficient, and enhances the quality of life for the citizens of Kneehill County. The MDP is a policy document that is general in nature and long range in its outlook. However, it is important to note that the achievement of the goals and objectives of the Municipal Development Plan are subject to budgetary consideration by County Council. Purpose 3 Situated in the heart of central Alberta, Kneehill County is a progressive rural municipality comprised of approximately 845,045 acres of land and a population of 4992. Within Kneehill County's boundaries are the Towns of Three Hills and Trochu, the Villages of Acme, Carbon, and Linden, four hamlets (Torrington, Huxley, Swalwell, and Wimborne) and the neighbourhoods of Allingham, Hesketh and Sunnyslope. The trade area includes over 11,000 people. Geographically, the eastern border runs along the Red Deer River Valley down to the Town of Drumheller in the heart of the Canadian Badlands. The Badlands shine on a world stage making tourism a viable market opportunity. Kneehill County's central locality provides residents and businesses with convenient access to larger centres while maintaining its rural quality of life. Primary access to the region is provided via the Highway 21 and Highway 27 corridors, CN Rail, and the Three Hills Municipal Airport. Calgary, Red Deer, Stettler, Strathmore, and Drumheller can all be accessed within an hour's drive of the County. Today, agriculture remains the backbone of the local economy with the majority of our land zoned for agricultural uses allowing us to enjoy a rural way of life and community. Located at the centre of a high-volume grain and livestock production area, the region is ideally situated to grow its footprint in agricultural product processing. Based on the raw materials produced in the region, sophisticated food or plant processing operations, including growing niche categories of specialized food, has been identified as a strong growth sector. Oil and gas are the other major industries in our region. Kneehill County is located in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) which contains one of the world's largest reserves of conventional oil and natural gas. We are the 7th fastest growing oil production municipality in Alberta. Our production has been expanding while it is declining in other municipalities. The County has an integrated network of gas pipelines, numerous operating natural gas wells, and over 14 gas processing facilities. While Council intends to protect this rural way of life, they also want to be proactive in enhancing it. This opens the door to new vision, new opportunities, and new dreams to be achieved, as opportunities to create something unique are realized. Community Profile 4 Enabling Legislation Kneehill County’s Municipal Development Plan has been prepared in accordance with Section 632 of the Municipal Government Act which indicates that a municipal development plan: a) must address (i) the future land use within the municipality, (ii) the manner of and the proposals for future development in the municipality, (iii) the coordination of land use, future growth patterns, and other infrastructure with adjacent municipalities if there is no intermunicipal development plan with respect to those matters in those municipalities, (iv) the provision of the required transportation systems either generally or specifically, within the municipality and in relation to adjacent municipalities, and (v) the provision of municipal services and facilities either generally or specifically, b) may address (i) proposals for the financing and programming of municipal infrastructure, (ii) the co-ordination of municipal programs relating to the physical, social, and economic development of the municipality, (iii) environmental matters within the municipality, (iv) the financial resources of the municipality (v) the economic development of the municipality, and (vi) any other matter relating to the physical, social, or economic development of the municipality, c) may contain statements regarding the municipality's development constraints, including the results of any development studies and impact analysis, and goals, objectives, targets, planning policies, and corporate strategies, d) must contain policies compatible with the subdivision and development regulations to provide guidance on the type and location of land uses adjacent to sour gas facilities, e) must contain policies respecting the provision of municipal, school or municipal and school reserves, including but not limited to the need for, amount of and allocation of those reserves and the identification of school requirements in consultation with affected school boards, f) must contain policies respecting the protection of agricultural operations, and g) may contain policies respecting the provision of conservation reserve in accordance with section 664.2(1)(a) to (d). 5 The 2024 Municipal Development Plan Review Process The Municipal Development Plan is a long-term document that should reflect the values and priorities of the residents within the municipality it serves. This plan is intended to provide strategic perspective to help inform development decisions. Council agreed to a robust public consultation process that was comprised of several working groups that included members at large as well as several working suppers that were open for all residents to participate. The review of this document was an opportunity to review the current reality and identify emerging trends. The policies contained in this MDP are the result of many hours of consultation both with working groups and during the working suppers. Kneehill County has never implemented a public engagement that has been this extensive. In the past, engagements consisted of surveys and open houses, but none of them had the uptake which this MDP public engagement did. We appreciate and want to thank everyone that participated in this 2 year project. GLOSSARY OF ACRONYMS SECTION 2.

The Strategic Plan documents Council’s key priorities and sets the direction for Kneehill County into the future. This strategy guides policy, programs, levels of service, capital investment and funding approaches. The Vision is a high-level description of “where we are going”. The Values represent “what we believe in”. Strategies and Outcomes, describe “how we expect to get there”. MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN A Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is a key policy plan that communicates the long-term (20-30 year) desired land use for your community. It is a high-level blueprint that shows how your community is expected to change over time and the shape it will take in the future. It is often described as the “view from 30,000 feet” which reflects the conceptual, big picture role of the plan. It serves as a guiding policy document for future decisions regarding the use of land and the infrastructure and services that are needed to support the intended uses. It is a statutory document, adopted by bylaw and the direction it sets, should be followed. AREA STRUCTURE PLAN Area Structure Plans (ASPs) provide more specific policy direction for existing and future development within a specific area of the County. It lays out the types of land uses proposed for an area and addresses water supply, sewage disposal, storm water drainage, environmental issues, fire suppression, and other elements of development. ASPs are a statutory plan adopted by bylaw and used as a guide by administration in processing applications received for the subject lands. LAND USE BYLAW A Land Use Bylaw establishes the specific rules and regulations for land development within a municipality. It ensures development occurs in an orderly, economical and beneficial way within the municipality. It outlines the process of decision making for developments and subdivisions. This includes detailing the roles of the Development Authority and the method for making decisions on applications. Land Use Bylaws must be consistent with the Municipal Government Act and the Municipal Development Plan. 11 12 Overview Agriculture Agriculture continues to be an important economic activity and lifestyle in Kneehill County. The County will continue to preserve the agricultural nature of the County while balancing it with new farming practices and specialty farming as we shift the traditional farming practices. Residential Demand for alternative forms of housing has increased due to the rising costs of land and our aging population. There is also a growing trend to have the space to grow your own food and create a family lifestyle more in tune with nature. Current residential development is scattered across the landscape interjected by hamlets and a few country residential developments. Kneehill County strives to be proactive in meeting the changing needs by creating opportunities for families to stay within the rural setting. Hamlets Further growth in the hamlets may be considered provided such expansion can be supported by regional/municipal water and/or wastewater and other community facilities. Hamlets provide reasonable housing prices while being within commuting distance of larger centres. Economic Development Kneehill County realizes the importance of creating a diversified landscape which allows a variety of economic development prospects in order to provide balance to the tax base. This will boost local employment opportunities helping promote a healthy and stable economy. Industrial and commercial development will be encouraged to locate near major transportation routes and adjacent to municipal servicing when possible. Kneehill County also realizes the importance of tourism as an economic driver and strives to assist in promoting the development of recreation and tourist destinations. Environmental/Hazard Lands Kneehill County has a wide range of Environmentally Significant, Environmentally Sensitive Lands, and Hazard Lands. These have been defined as per the attached map and the 2010 Summit Report, as well as Provinical designations done in 2014 by Fiera Biological Consulting. Parks & Recreation Outdoor recreation and nature appreciation is a vital part of quality of life. Kneehill County region offers many recreational opportunities such as golf courses, campgrounds, parks, and hiking. The purchase and enhancement of Horseshoe Canyon has allowed it to become a public park that is accessible and creates an environment that enriches the visitor experience for all to appreciate one of our most notable natural features. Transportation & Utilities Access and transportation corridors are critical for any municipality but even more so for a rural municipality. Kneehill County has developed a hierarchy of roads and standards supported by a number of road studies. It is also recognized that economic development is dependent on good access and transportation routes. In addition to roads, the County has seen to the provision of safe water in portions of the County. The County is committed to monitoring and improving these services to further benefit rural residents as feasible. 13 Overview Natural Resources Kneehill County is limited in aggregate resources. However, the County will encourage natural resource extraction in areas where appropriate through our LUB. Kneehill County realizes the importance of alternative renewable energy solutions. Wind, solar and geothermal energy are options that are available to developers in the County. While these energy solutions are regulated on a federal and provincial level, Kneehill County wants to ensure the development of these energy sources complement our region. Growth Management As Kneehill County grows it becomes increasingly important that the County balances development, agriculture and a rural lifestyle. Kneehill County has identified potential growth centres. Identification as a growth centre does not imply that these lands will be developed within the lifespan of this MDP, nor does it imply that the landowner must develop this land. This MDP requires long term planning and identifies the areas where development is logical, advantageous, and appropriate. The market, landowners, and the County will decide when the time is right for the actual development of the land. In general, this future growth is planned adjacent to existing development and along transportation and servicing infrastructure corridors. Development applications are subject to the same requirements as any other relative application, and development of these lands is not guaranteed. Applications for development outside of these growth centres will still be considered on their own merit. Development Phasing The potential for future development is difficult to predict. The determination of the phasing will occur as a result of the direction of market demand, the servicing available, and the infrastructure the developer is willing and able to install, and approval through County planning processes. Kneehill County recognizes these factors in the determination of the phasing of development. Intermunicipal Planning & Cooperation Kneehill County has five urban municipalities within its borders: Acme, Carbon, Linden, Three Hills, and Trochu. It is important that the County works cooperatively with these urban municipalities, as well as the adjacent rural municipalities, to plan for regional issues including planning and land use. Intermunicipal Development Plans and Intermunicipal Collaboration Frameworks are two of the many tools utilized. POLICIES SECTION 4. AGRICULTURE Agriculture continues to be an important economic activity and lifestyle in Kneehill County. The County will continue to preserve the agricultural nature of the region while balancing it with new farming practices and specialty farming as we shift the traditional farming practices. There has been an increase in operations that can be viable on much smaller parcels of land. It is recognized that flexibility in allowing non-traditional intensive agriculture is something that needs to be supported as the needs of agriculture are changing. Allowing larger subdivisions for specific agriculture uses to encourage farm enterprise is needed. Encouraging agriculture businesses, home based and minor businesses to augment farm income will continue to be allowed. Agriculture businesses should be encouraged to locate along transportation corridors. Much of the County’s population derives its livelihood from agriculture, and has for many generations. Agriculture is an industry that is becoming much more complex than the traditional family farm of the past. New technologies, practices, and the need for economies of scale, have resulted in larger-sized farms.The conservation of farmland and ranchland is very important to the history and character of the County. The County has also noted a growing trend for smaller specialty farms. In the past, many planning tools focused on the actual protection of farmland, however, more recent strategies promote productivity of the agriculture sector by providing maximum flexibility for farm operations and ensuring agricultural uses are able to integrate into an increasingly diverse economy. 1. To preserve the agricultural heritage of the County. 2. To ensure that agriculture continues to be a viable and thriving component of the County’s economy. 3. To encourage diversification and innovation in the agriculture sector. 4. To encourage all agricultural operations to employ best management practices. 5. To minimize potential conflicts between agricultural and non-agricultural uses. 1. To permit alternative farming practices, providing they meet required federal and provincial regulations. 2. To encourage the agriculture industry to employ practices that protect and enhance the environment, and natural resources such as water, air and soil. 3. To work with urban partners to promote value-added agricultural manufacturing industries within the region. 4. To continue to facilitate and participate in the Agricultural Service Board. Goals Objectives 15 1. All lands in the County are designated to be agricultural lands unless otherwise designated by the Municipal Development Plan, an approved statuory plan, the Land Use Bylaw, or provincial legislation. 2. The County shall continue to support a viable agricultural economy by allowing farm operators to engage in different types and sizes of agricultural operations. 3.

Subdivision approvals for developed farmsteads shall be a minimum of 0.8 ha (2 acres) and may incorporate shelterbelts, ancillary buildings, on-site sewage disposal, water systems, and access. 5. The “first parcel out” of a previously unsubdivided quarter section is not by right, but shall be generally supported by the County for the creation of one additional parcel. 6. Subdivision of lots should not be allowed where, in the opinion of the Development Authority, potential conflicts with adjacent or surrounding land uses would result. 7. Subdivision of lands will not be allowed where the resulting parcel(s) would remain landlocked, or undevelopable due to setbacks or other requirements. 8. The maximum number of titles per quarter section in the Agriculture District within the boundary of Kneehill County shall be three (3) including the remnant. 9. Both the proposed parcel and the remnant parcel shall have direct legal and physical access to a public road. Access may be arranged through a panhandle road or other method acceptable to the Development Authority. 10. Large parcel subdivisions will be considered for uses within the Agricultural Business District. These subdivisions may have a minimum 4.05 ha (10 acres) and a maximum 16.18 ha (40 acres) requirement. Agriculture business uses requiring more than 40 acres will be considered on their merit and evidence to justify additional land must be provided by the applicant. 11. All new titles created in the Agricultural District for a non-agricultural use, shall require a redesignation to the appropriate land use district. 12. No new or expansion of existing confined feeding operations (CFOs), will be allowed in the following: a. i. In Hazard Lands or Environmentally Sensitive Lands as defined by the province and the 2010 Summit Report. ii. Within 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) of any hamlet. (Where a portion of the quarter falls within the mile exclusion zone, the entire quarter has been included in the exclusion zone.) iii. Within 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) of any urban boundary. (Where a portion of the quarter falls within the mile exclusion zone, the entire quarter has been included in the exclusion zone.) Please see section with attached maps. b. Applications received that fall outside the exclusion zone will be subject to the Agricultural Operation Practices Act. 13. Secondary suites and/or additional dwellings shall be considered appropriate in the Agriculture District, as per the LUB. 14. Development considered to be creative architecture as defined by the Land Use Bylaw shall be considered appropriate in the Agriculture District. 15. Approval may be given to an application for subdivision for a parcel of land that is separated from the balance of the landholding by a road or railway, abandoned railway, or a Policies 16 permanent naturally occurring creek or body of water. Each new parcel including the remnant parcel must contain a building site suitable for development and servicing requirements and have direct physical or legal access (registered on title) to a public road satisfactory to the Development Authority. 16. Larger subdivisions, where the use is agricultural, may be considered when the subject lands being contemplated have two or more well-defined existing uses that are distinct. 17. Subdivision of land adjacent to an existing municipal water line will be required to follow current County Policy regarding water riser installation. 18. The County is generally supportive of agriculture operations and recognize that agricultural producers following generally accepted agricultural practices will not be prevented from carrying on the agricultural activity because it causes or creates a nuisance. Accepted practices and activities for similar sized operations will be considered when dealing with nuisance complaints and potential impact to adjacent landowners. 19. Consideration will be given to the Land Suitability Ranking System (LSRS) when processing applications for non-agricultural uses. Lands with higher numerical class or more marginal lands will be preferred. 20. Canada Land Inventory (CLI) will be utilized for all other land uses and when calculating municipal and/or school reserves. 21. Emerging trends and technologies in the agricultural sector may trigger a review of our planning documents for changes to existing uses or additions of new uses. 22. The County will consider support of agriculture programming through the Agricultural Service Board. 23. Agricultural supporting industries will be encouraged to locate as cluster developments within the proposed growth centres where feasible. 24. The County will encourage producers to utilize environmental farm plans to help identify and mitigate environmental risks and help assess and steward natural habitats located on their property. 25. The County will be supportive of programs that encourage youth retention in agricultural activities. This may include 4-H, the Green Certificate Program and other educational sponsorship opportunities. Policies 17 RESIDENTIAL Kneehill County recognizes that the demand has increased for alternative forms of housing. To encourage development in areas with existing services, the County has reduced the size of the property required for more than one dwelling. They have also made provisions for Garden Suites, which would allow a smaller dwelling on agriculturally zoned properties to accommodate aging parents, etc. 1. To allow for affordable, diverse housing options. 2. To support the rural lifestyle while maintaining a balance between urban and rural residential, and agricultural land uses. 3. To ensure that residential needs associated with agricultural land uses are accommodated in a reasonable manner. 1. To minimize conflicts with agricultural uses and incompatible non-residential uses. 2. To ensure future residential development occurs in continuation with compatible existing development. 3. To encourage live-work opportunities that do not harm adjacent uses. 4. To provide a range of residential land uses which ensures affordable housing, including Garden Suites, exists. Goals Objectives 18 1. Subdivisions in agriculturally zoned areas shall not result in more than three (3) titles per quarter section within the boundary of Kneehill County. The remnant will be considered the third (3) title. Subdivisions in agricultural areas shall be subject to the LUB. 2. New undeveloped lots should be sited on the quarter section in a manner that allows for the most amount of agricultural land to be preserved. 3. Development of residential lots along coulees or other natural features may be considered, if provisions of the LUB are satisfied. 4. Multi-lot Country Residential development will be required to submit an Outline Plan which at a minimum shall include the development concept, proposed servicing strategy (including water, sewer and access), adjacent land use and policy framework. 5. Country Residential developments that are fully serviced by regional systems can have a minimum 0.5-acres (0.20 ha) lot size. Maximum lot size is 4-acres (1.62 ha) within this district. 6. Minimum density for Country Residential developments is 5 lots. Proof of water must be provided with the redesignation of land application. 7. Residential development shall not be permitted within the floodplain or flood fringe of any watercourse. 8. Home Occupations, in keeping with the residential area are considered appropriate in rural residential areas, providing they are approved through the LUB. 9. Bare parcel subdivisions for residential purposes shall be a minimum of two (2) acres and a maximum of five (5) acres unless other provisions apply. (i.e. fragmented) 10. Service roads into multi-lot subdivisions need to be consistent in surfacing with the municipal road to them. (i.e. if coming off pavement, they should be paved; if coming off gravel, they should be graveled). 11. Location of fire service should be considered when developing new residential areas. 12. In order to protect Environmentally Significant Areas, grouped residential development around or adjacent to Environmentally Significant Areas should utilize Enviromental Reserve Easements to ensure large portions of these lands remain in their natural state. 13. Access easements are not permitted for new multi-lot residential developments. Each parcel must have both legal and physical access to a dedicated municipal county road or provincial highway. A service road developed as per the General Municipal Servicing Standard is an acceptable option. 14. Secondary suites are an option in all residential districts (Hamlet Residential, Country Residential District) as well as the Agriculture District. Policies 19 HAMLETS 1. To facilitate appropriate and sustainable residential and non-residential development in hamlets. 2. To encourage infill development which would include residential, commercial, and light industrial development. 1. Make more efficient use of existing infrastructure and services. 2. Ensure that developments in hamlets tie-in to existing water and sewer services where available. 3. To provide for a range of appropriate residential, community, commercial, and light industrial land uses (as defined by the LUB) within hamlets. 4. To maintain hamlets as local centres serving the surrounding agricultural communities. Goals Objectives Kneehill County recognizes 4 hamlets within our policy documents, each with unique characteristics that epitomize the rural quality of life. Huxley, Swalwell, Torrington and Wimborne are the noted hamlets. These hamlets offer a diverse range of housing that provide more affordable options for residents. The County provides parks, water, sewer and garbage collection as the amenities to meet the day-to-day needs of the residents. 20 1. The County may assess the future direction of development for each hamlet. 2. Further growth in the hamlets may be considered provided such expansion can be supported by regional/municipal water and/or wastewater and other community facilities. 3. The County will encourage the infilling and redevelopment of all hamlets. 4. The County will allow, through provisions in the Land Use Bylaw, for a range of light industrial and commercial uses compatible with available infrastructure and the residential character and local service role of individual hamlets. 5. Residential developments in hamlets must tie-in to existing regional/municipal water and sewer services. 6. Kneehill County recognizes that each of our hamlets is a unique community, and the focus needs to be specific to each community. 7. It is important that the rural character of the community be considered in planning for the future. 8. Growth beyond the existing boundaries of a hamlet may be considered if supported by regional servicing and limited developable lots within the hamlet. 9. The County will continue to be supportive of gathering places and park spaces for our residents within our hamlets. 10. In order to encourage entrepreneurs and economic diversity, the County will consider Home Occupation, Majors for limited uses within a hamlet district in accordance with the LUB. 11. Viable long-term growth opportunities require a well thought out plan that includes access and serviceability. The County will highlight areas where existing infrastructure will require less investment to contribute to growth. 12. The County is open to mixed use development (i.e. residential and retail space) in a logical manner. Approvals will be dependent on the location, adjacent land uses and the feasibility of the proposed uses. 13. The County will encourage commercial development that services the area residents. 14. Hamlet studies specifically focused on infrastructure and servicing will be completed in the next few years, and priorities will be set based on the results of these studies. Policies 21 ECONOMIC Kneehill County recognizes the importance of a balanced tax base, and strives to create opportunities for commercial, agricultural, industrial, and tourism growth. Agriculture and oil and gas have been the drivers for our economy; however, tourism, recreation, commercial and industrial business all have potential for growth both in a rural and urban context. 1. To consider the necessary infrastructure to retain, expand and attract business and industry. 2. To create opportunities that will provide a variety of development options to diversify and strengthen the County’s economy. 3. To encourage tourism as one of the thriving business opportunities within Kneehill County. 4. To create a positive and competitive business environment. 1. To encourage economic development in identified growth centres and hamlets to maximize the use of municipal servicing and infrastructure. 2. To encourage employment opportunities for the local population. 3. To balance economic development opportunities that are adjacent and compatible along transportation corridors. 4. To ensure all appropriate development standards are achieved. 5. To attract visitors, investors and investment to the County through the development of tourism and recreation destinations, attractions, and services.

Within these landscapes, there are many areas that are considered to be Environmentally Significant, Sensitive, or environmentally hazardous. The County desires to protect these lands as well as to protect people and property from development on Hazardous Lands. 1. To protect and conserve Environmentally Significant and Sensitive Lands. These boundaries will be as defined by the province and the 2010 Summit Report. (Please see attached maps) 2. To mitigate environmental impact by ensuring development meets or exceeds provincial and municipal legislated requirements. 3. To provide and promote responsible access and use of public areas. 1. To protect from subdivision and development lands that are, or potentially are, hazardous because of slope or erosion concerns. 2. To minimize conflicts between development and Environmentally Significant and Sensitive Areas. 3. To contribute to the protection and sustainable utilization of water resources within the limits of provincial legislation. Goals Objectives 26 1. The County shall require an Environmental Review for developments considered to have a moderate or high likelihood of having a detrimental impact on environmental features of importance as per the Land Use Bylaw. 2. When considering subdivision or development applications on lands considered Environmentally Significant and/or Senstitive, the County shall be satisfied that appropriate mitigation measures will be used to protect the environmental integrity of these lands. 3. Area Structure Plans shall identify hazardous areas, Environmentally Significant and/ or Sensitive Areas, critical wildlife habitat and travel corridors, and potential sites of historic and archeological significance. 4. Environmentally Significant and/or Sensitive lands may be protected via the dedication of land as Environmental Reserve, Conservation Easement, Environmental Reserve Easement, or restrictive covenant on the lands deemed to be Environmentally Significant and/or Sensitive subject to the provisions of the MGA. 5.

The County shall endeavour to refer to relevant neighbouring municipalities for comment, all proposed statutory plans and plan amendments, Outline Plans and amendments, Land Use Bylaw amendments, and subdivision applications located either adjacent to a municipal boundary or in areas agreed to between the County and the affected municipality where such items are deemed to be of significance. 4. The County recognizes that an urban municipality may wish to annex land from the County where growth of that urban municipality warrants it. The County may accept the annexation of land by an urban municipality if an annexation agreement can be amicably achieved to address any impact on the County. 5. The County strives to maximize infill potential before considering an annexation into County lands. 6. The County will regularily review any Intermunicipal Development Plans and identify current trends in development as well as outline any opportunities that will be beneficial from a regional perspective. 7. An IDP may include policies that defer policy direction to the subject MDP. As such, the applicable policies of the relevant jurisdiction MDP shall apply. 8. The County will continue to work with our neighbouring municipalities to review our Intermunicipal Collaboration Frameworks (ICFs) as required by the MGA. Policies 40 RESERVE LANDS The Municipal Government Act allows a municipality to take Municipal Reserve (MR) lands where there is a community benefit, or cash-in-lieu where it is more appropriate. The purpose of Municipal Reserves is to provide parks, open spaces, natural areas, schools, and buffer strips separating incompatible land uses. The municipality may also take Environmental Reserve (ER) to ensure that environmentally sensitive natural features are protected and preserved. Kneehill County is supportive of protecting Environmentally Significant, Sensitive and Hazardous Lands through the dedication of ER, MR, and alternative protection mechanisms. These mechanisms may include Conservation Easements, Environmental Reserves, Environmental Reserve Easements, Restrictive Covenants, and caveats. 1. To identify, protect, and conserve Environmentally Significant and Sensitive Lands. 2. To provide land for schools, parks, and recreational lands. 1. To take land as Environmental Reserve where appropriate. 2. To take land as municipal or school reserve through land dedication and/or cash-in-lieu. 3. To plan for and manage open space, school reserve, and recreational facilities in the County. Goals Objectives 41 1. At the time of subdivision, Environmental Reserve (ER), or Municipal Reserve (MR) may be taken to the extent allowed by the Municipal Government Act to protect open spaces and significant environmental areas. 2. The aggregate amount of Municipal Reserves (MR) that may be provided shall not exceed ten (10) percent of the parcel of land less land required to be provided as Environmental Reserve (ER) and the land made subject of an Environmental Reserve Easement (ERE). 3. Municipal Reserves will be taken as per Kneehill County policy, and amendments from time to time. 4. As per the Municipal Government Act Section 664 (1), Environmental Reserve may be taken by the County without compensation at the time of subdivision if it consists of: a. a swamp, gully, ravine, coulee, or natural drainage course, b. land that is subject to flooding or is, in the opinion of the subdivision authority, unstable, or c. a strip of land, not less than six (6) metres in width, abutting the bed and shore of any body of water. d. 664(1.1) A subdivision authority may require land to be provided as Environmental Reserve only for one or more of the following purposes: i. to preserve the natural features of land; where in the opinion of the subdivision authority, those features should be preserved; ii. to prevent pollution of the land or of the bed and shore of an adjacent body of water, or iii. to ensure public access to and beside the bed and shore; of a body of water lying on or adjacent to the land; iv. to prevent development of land where, in the opinion of the subdivision authority, the natural features of the land would present a significant risk of personal injury or property damage occurring during development or use of the land. 5. The County will consult with adjoining municipalities and school authorities to ensure that adequate land, or cash- in-lieu of land is dedicated or paid to meet the needs for school reserves. 6. All cash-in-lieu for Municipal Reserves shall be paid to the County. It will be held and used for the same purposes as Municipal Reserve land could be used. 7. If the owner of a parcel of land that is the subject of a proposed subdivision and the municipality agree that any or all of the land that is to be taken as Environmental Reserve is instead to be the subject of an Environmental Reserve Easement for the protection and enhancement of the environment, an easement may be registered against the land in favour of the County at a Land Titles Office as per the requirements of the MGA. 8. The County may consider utilizing a Conservation Reserve for lands located within a Provincial or National ESA. A Conservation Reserve under the MGA means a reserve taken by the municipality whereby the County must pay the landowner compensation for the lands. This compensation must be in an amount equal to the market value of the land at the time the application for subdivision approval was received by the subdivision authority. 9. The County will encourage voluntary efforts on private land to conserve Environmentally Significant Areas and water sources. Policies 42 IMPLEMENTATION - PLAN MONITORING Consistency with this Municipal Development Plan will ensure that orderly, effective and beneficial development can be achieved. This plan is intended to be a living document which will need to be monitored over time to respond to the changing needs and conditions of the County. Where changes are required, it is important that they are considered through an open and transparent process that gives opportunities for the public to express their concern. The County will implement the Municipal Development Plan through its Land Use Bylaw, other statutory and non-statutory plans and other outcomes and decisions that affect planning and development. However, it is important to note that the achievement of the goals and objectives of the Municipal Development Plan are subject to budgetary consideration by County Council. 1.
