4 1.0 Introduction 1.1 MISSION Camrose County is "dedicated to efficiently provide the best quality municipal services through a democratic and responsive process that recognizes and balances the diversity of its people, land and economic resources, on behalf of the entire municipality." The City "provides fiscally responsible municipal services that contribute to a high quality of life for citizens and success for businesses." With the Camrose Intermunicipal Development Plan, the City and County will work together in an atmosphere of cooperation and communication to allow for the orderly development of lands within an area of the City and the County of common interest to both municipalities which provides for development opportunities in the County and the City while protecting the ability of the City and the County to continue to grow. 1.2 AUTHORITY OF PLAN In the hierarchy of statutory plans, this Plan shall take precedence over all other municipal statutory plans. If there are discrepancies between the Intermunicipal Development Plan and any statutory plan, this Plan shall prevail. A Hierarchy of Plans has been attached as Appendix B: Hierarchy of Plans for clarification. 1.3 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The Plan will: 1.3.1 Recognize and respect the identities and mandates of each municipality while setting in place common plans and policies that seek to provide for: i. the logical, orderly and economic development of each municipality, and ii. the advancement and promotion of the region as a whole. 1.3.2 Continue to foster a cooperative and positive relationship between the City and the County, characterized by ongoing dialogue and communication and an understanding of each other's interests and views. 1.3.3 Promote orderly, economic and beneficial land development. 1.3.4 Protect and enhance the natural environment. 1.3.5 Maintain viable agricultural operations by minimizing land fragmentation and land conversion on lands having high agricultural potential. Understanding that within the Coordinated Services Area the agricultural potential of the lands may not be a consideration for future land development. 1.3.6 Encourage the Municipalities to engage in regional infrastructure planning to ensure infrastructure such as roads, water, wastewater and storm water management services and facilities are in place to support growth and development in the Plan Area and to ensure coordination with City expansion. Cost sharing of the required planning documents will be 5 determined by the City and the County but is generally outlined in the Coordinated Service Areas. 1.3.7 Foster processes that allow for consultation and referral of additional plans and policies and of development proposals that are of mutual interest and importance and which provide landowners and developers with clear procedures for development applications and proposals will be established. 1.3.8 Provide for limited agricultural development within the residential referral area. 1.4 DEFINITIONS In this Plan: 1.4.1 "Act" shall mean the Municipal Government Act, R.S.A. 2000, c. M-26, as amended. 1.4.2 "Agricultural Development" shall mean all those uses listed in Appendix F: Land Use Bylaw Information defined by the City of Camrose Land Use Bylaw 2929-17 as amended and Camrose County Land Use Bylaw 1373 as amended as of the date of adoption of this Plan. 1.4.3 "Agricultural Subdivision" shall mean, first parcel subdivisions, natural split subdivisions, or 80 acre split subdivisions, as defined by the County Municipal Development Plan. 1.4.4 "City" shall mean the City of Camrose. 1.4.5 "Committee" shall mean the Camrose Intermunicipal Committee established under Section 6. 1.4.6 "Confined Feeding Operation" shall mean an activity on land that is fenced or enclosed or within buildings where livestock are confined for the purpose of growing, sustaining, finishing or breeding by means other than grazing. Within the City boundaries and the CSAs, this includes seasonal feeding and bedding sites. In the remainder of the plan area, this does not include seasonal feeding and bedding sites. 1.4.7 "County" shall mean Camrose County. 1.4.8 "Coordinated Service Area (CSA)" shall mean areas of anticipated growth and development that traverse municipal boundaries. The CSAs are identified in Map 3: Coordinates Service Areas and as described in Section 2.0. 1.4.9 "Deferred Servicing Plan" shall mean an agreement between the municipalities and a private developer to defer certain infrastructure improvements for a predetermined period of time, and/or contingent on development of adjoining parcels requiring servicing, as permitted by Section 3.0 1.4.10 "Limited Agricultural Development" shall mean those permitted and discretionary uses in Camrose County's Land Use Bylaw 1373, Agricultural District and the City of Camrose Land Use Bylaw 2929-17, Urban Reserve District detailed in Appendix G: Limited Agricultural Uses. 1.4.11 "Municipalities" shall mean the County and City collectively. 1.4.12 "MDP" shall mean the Municipal Development Plan of whichever Municipality is identified. 1.4.13 "Plan" - shall mean the Camrose Intermunicipal Development Plan. 1.4.14 "Plan Area" shall mean the area identified on Map 1: Plan Area, and includes the CSAs, the Referral Area, and the AVPA for items related to airport operations. 6 1.4.15 "Referral Area" - shall mean the area identified by the City and County of common interest as detailed in Map 2: Referral Area. 1.4.16 "Top of Bank" shall mean the point where a slope is greater than 15% for at least 3.0m in length and includes both active and inactive erosion banks. 1.5 INTERPRETATION 1.5.1 This IDP contains several words with similar meanings; their meanings are defined below for the purpose of this Plan: i. "Shall" means that the Municipality or Municipalities must undertake the actions and comply with the policies in this Plan. ii. "May" is an operative word meaning a permitted action, based on fulfillment of specific criteria. iii. "Should" means that the Municipality or Municipalities are expected to undertake the actions and comply with the policies of this Plan unless there is a compelling reason why such action or compliance is not possible or practical. 2.0 Plan Boundary 2.1 The Plan boundary includes those lands in the City which lie generally within one half mile of the boundary between the City and the County and lands in the County which lie generally within one mile of the boundary between the City and the County. See Map 1: Plan Area. 2.2 The Plan Area is divided into two major sections: the Coordinated Services Areas (CSAs) and the Referral Areas. 2.3 Within the Plan Area there are several development constraints that were considered in creating the IDP. The major constraints are shown on Map 8: Development Constraints. This map is a high-level review of potential development constraints, additional study will be required as part of the Area Structure Plan process to further identify constraints. In addition to the constraints listed on the Map, administration determined there were no abandoned coal mines, sand and gravel deposits, brownfields or confined feeding operations within the Plan Area. 3.0 Coordinated Services Areas 3.1 GOAL 3.1.1 To recognize the importance of the CSAs to allow for planned future City and County growth. 3.2 OBJECTIVES 3.2.1 Identify the potential future City growth directions, infrastructure issues and land requirements that will allow for the continued efficient and economic expansion of the City, as per Map 3: Coordinated Service Areas and Map 4: CSAs By Zone. 3.2.1 Minimize land use conflicts that may provide an impediment to City expansion and provide for effective transition and conversion to urban land use. 7 3.3 GENERAL POLICIES 3.3.1 CSAs are set out on Map 3: Coordinated Service Areas and show areas where the City anticipates the needs for uniform servicing levels across the municipal boundaries. 3.3.2 The CSA is divided into 9 areas with specific development and servicing criteria for each CSA and shown on Map 4: CSAs By Zone. 3.3.3 The land uses permitted, and the way land and infrastructure are developed within the CSAs set out on Map 3: Coordinated Service Areas will contemplate, coordinate with, and ultimately not impede, interfere or conflict with growth in the CSA. 3.3.4 The lands designated for inclusion in the CSAs may be reviewed as part of any Major Review of this Plan and reviewed within the City of Camrose Growth Management Plan. 3.3.5 The municipalities agree to pass a joint Off-site Levy Bylaw by December 31, 2020. Projects completed prior to the passing of the Joint Off-Site Levy Bylaw will be charged the Off-Site Levy Rates for the existing OSL Bylaw (in the City) or adjacent OSL rate (in the County). For clarification, Map 10: Off-Site Levy Equivalencies, shows the City's existing OSL Map along with the adjacent CSA and Appendix I: Off-Site Levy Equivalencies shows the breakdown of costs for each area. 3.3.6 The Off-Site Levy Bylaw shall only include infrastructure services: transportation, water, wastewater, and stormwater. The Bylaw will not include community or recreational services, police services, or fire services. In the case where Off-Site Levies are collected from benefiting lands located in one municipality but the infrastructure project will be installed by the other municipality, any funds collected from the benefiting lands in support of the infrastructure project must be transferred to the municipality responsible for the infrastructure project. 3.3.7 Off-Site Levies will only be collected on non-Agricultural Subdivisions. 3.3.8 Development within the CSA shall require an approved Area Structure Plan, Traffic Impact Assessment Report, and Storm Water Management Plan. This policy excludes Agricultural Development outlined in Appendix F: Land Use Bylaw Information. 3.3.9 In some CSAs servicing may include individual or communal servicing that may be connected to the larger regional servicing system on a Deferred Servicing Plan. 3.3.10 Should the proposed subdivision and development occupy only a portion of the quarter- section the Area Structure Plan shall indicate the ultimate build-out design and servicing of the lands, how the proposed development will be integrated into the City and how development costs of servicing will be shared over the whole quarter section. 3.3.11 Agricultural development and Agricultural Subdivisions, excluding CFOs which are banned in the CSAs, will be allowed within the CSA without the requirement to upgrade to urban servicing or submit an Area Structure Plan. 3.3.12 The Stormwater Management Plan must be developed in accordance with the standards described in Appendix H: Stormwater Management Guidelines, except for those projects exempted in Section 3.3.11. 3.3.13 Municipal Reserve dedications will be the sole responsibility of the governing municipality and will be dealt with in accordance with the MGA. 8 3.3.14 The Municipalities recognize that the predominant use of land in the CSAs and much of the undeveloped land near and within the City's boundary is agriculture and as such the Municipalities accept that some residents of the Municipalities may be affected by: i. Noise from farm equipment, ii. Dust from planting and harvesting, iii. Disruption from late night work common at planting and harvesting, iv. Application of agricultural fertilizers and chemicals, and v. Odors arising from livestock. 9 3.4 CSA #1 - NORTHEAST INDUSTRIAL - LOW SERVICE 3.4.1 Purpose The purpose of CSA#1 is to provide low service industrial lots which will accommodate medium and heavy industrial development in the future. Industrial development will be supported in the area, while residential development shall be discouraged. Water and sewer services are not available in this area. Developers will be required to provide private water and sewer services to these properties. 3.4.2 Servicing Standards Arterial Right-of-Way = 30 meters Road = 9-meter paved surface; no on-street parking permitted Stormwater = Ditching drainage; no underground storm system Streetlighting = At Regular Intervals in Accordance with City of Camrose Specifications Trails & Walkways = None Power = Overhead Collector Right-of-Way = 30 meters Road = 9-meter gravel surface; no on-street parking permitted Stormwater = Ditching drainage; no underground storm system Streetlighting = At intersections only Trails & Walkways = None Power = Overhead Local Right-of-Way = 30 meters Road = 9-meter gravel surface; no on-street parking permitted Stormwater = Ditching drainage; no underground storm system Streetlighting = At intersections only Trails & Walkways = None Power = Overhead Water & Wastewater = Private systems compliant with provincial regulations 10 3.5 CSA #2 - NORTHEAST INDUSTRIAL - FULL SERVICE 3.5.1 Purpose The purpose of CSA#2 is to provide full serviced industrial lots which will accommodate medium and heavy industrial development in the future. Industrial development will be supported in the area, while residential development shall be discouraged. The City has the capability of servicing these properties with both water and sewer and will actively require developers to build and connect to the municipal systems as the facilities become readily available. For developments outside of the area where water and sewer are not readily available, the municipalities may allow developments to enter into Deferred Servicing Agreements and provide individual or communal water and sewer services until the municipal systems are accessible. 3.5.2 Servicing Standards Arterial Right-of-Way = 40 meters Road = 9-meter paved surface; no on-street parking permitted Initial development to pave first 2-lanes of ultimate road configuration Stormwater = Ditching drainage in the interim, storm sewer to be considered as part of a Deferred Services Agreement (DSA) Streetlighting = At Regular Intervals in Accordance with City of Camrose Specification Trails & Walkways = 3.0-meter paved trail along one side of road Power = Overhead Collector Right-of-Way = 30 meters Road = 10-meter gravel surface; no on-street parking permitted 10-meter wide paved knock-off area for first 10 meters from arterials Stormwater = Ditching drainage in the interim, storm sewer to be considered as part of a DSA Streetlighting = At intersections only Trails & Walkways = 1.5-meter sidewalk along one side of road Power = Overhead Local Right-of-Way = 30 meters Road = 10-meter gravel surface; on-street parking permitted; 10-meter wide paved knock-off area for first 20 meters from paved arterials/collectors Stormwater = Ditching drainage in the interim, storm sewer to be considered as part of a DSA Streetlighting = At intersections only Trails & Walkways = None Power = Overhead Water & Wastewater = Serviced immediately where possible, but would permit Deferred Servicing Agreements where suitably sized utilities are not within 100 meters of the building footprint. 11 3.6 CSA #3 - HIGHWAY BUSINESS INDUSTRIAL 3.6.1 Purpose The purpose of CSA#3 is to provide full serviced business industrial lots along Highway 26 which will accommodate medium industrial development.

The IASP will establish the types of development, the servicing levels, and what servicing may be deferred. This IDP will defer to the servicing requirements within the IASP once approved by both Councils and will be updated as part of the next review to include the relevant servicing provisions. The IDP will consider commercial and industrial uses within the area while residential development shall be discouraged. 3.8.2 Servicing Standards The servicing standards outlined below are for any development constructed prior to the completion of the Railway Junction Industrial Area Structure Plan. Should the Railway Junction Industrial Area Structure Plan provide revised minimum servicing standards, the municipalities agree that the servicing standards in the approved Area Structure Plan shall override the servicing standards below. Arterial (Highway 13) Right-of-Way (Highway 13) = 50 meters Road (Highway 13) = Divided paved surface (2 X 3.7-meter lanes in each direction, plus turning lanes and/or auxiliary lanes); no on-street parking permitted Stormwater = Storm sewer, curb & gutter with initial development Streetlighting = At Regular Intervals in Accordance with City of Camrose Specification Trails & Walkways = 3.0-meter paved trail along one side of road Power = Underground with the exception of the existing Overhead High Voltage Line, commonly referred to as the Altalink line.

Take-off/approach surfaces 2 There are take-off/approach surfaces abutting and extending out from each end of the basic strip and in each case the surface is an imaginary surface consisting of an inclined plane (a) the commencement of which coincides with the end of the basic strip, (b) that rises at a slope ratio of 1:40 (2.5%) measured from the end of the basic strip, (c) that diverges outward on each side as it rises, at a rate of 15% measured from the respective projected sides of the basic strip, and (d) that ends at its intersection with the outer surface. Transitional surfaces 3 There is a transitional surface associated with each side of the basic strip, and in each case the transitional surface is an imaginary surface consisting of an inclined plane that (a) commences at and abuts the sides of the basic strip, (b) rises at a slope ratio of 1:7 (14.3%) from an elevation at the centre point of the runway opposite the proposed development, and measured from the sides of the basic strip, and (c) ends at its intersection with the outer surface and the take-off/approach surfaces. Airport zoning reference point elevation 4 The airport zoning reference point elevation is the elevation used to establish the height of the outer surface and for the purpose of this Regulation is deemed to be 737.6 metres above sea level. Outer surface 5 The outer surface of the protection area is an imaginary common plane established at a constant elevation of 45 metres above the airport zoning reference point elevation and extending to the boundary of the protection area. General 57 6 The area locations of the take-off/approach surfaces and transitional surfaces are represented on the map shown in Schedule 5, but if any discrepancy exists between the description of the take-off/approach surfaces or transitional surfaces in this Schedule and their location on the map in Schedule 5, the description in this Schedule prevails. 58 Schedule 5 - Height Limitation Map 59 Schedule 6 - Electronic Facilities Protection Map 60 Appendix B: Hierarchy of Plans 61 Appendix C: MGB Annexation Principles BOARD ORDER NO. MGB 123/06 ANNEXATION PRINCIPLES In the absence of criteria authorized by section 76 of the Act and in order to deal with the various issues raised by the affected parties, the landowners and the interest groups, the MGB has developed a series of annexation principles. The MGB has developed these principles from the examination of the annexation provisions in the Act, the Provincial Land Use Policies and previous annexation orders and recommendations. These principles are based on significant annexation decisions prior to 1995 and a total of nearly 170 annexations processed since the introduction of the 1995 Municipal Government Act. In summary, these principles include the following: 1. Annexations that provide for intermunicipal cooperation will be given considerable weight. Cooperative intermunicipal policies in an intermunicipal development plan will be given careful consideration, weight and support so long as they do not conflict with Provincial policies or interests. 2. Accommodation of growth by all municipalities (urban or rural) must be accomplished without encumbering the initiating municipality and the responding municipality's ability to achieve rational growth directions, cost effective utilization of resources, fiscal accountability and the attainment of the purposes of a municipality described in the Act. 3. An annexation or annexation conditions should not infringe on the local autonomy given to municipalities in the Act unless provisions of the Act have been breached or the public interest and individual rights have been unnecessarily impacted. 4. An annexation must be supported by growth projections, availability of lands within current boundaries, consideration of reasonable development densities, accommodation of a variety of land uses and reasonable growth options within each municipality (initiating and responding municipality). 5. An annexation must achieve a logical extension of growth patterns, transportation and infrastructure servicing for the affected municipalities. 6. Each annexation must illustrate a cost effective, efficient and coordinated approach to the administration of services. 7. Annexations that demonstrate sensitivity and respect for key environmental and natural features will be regarded as meeting provincial land use policies. 8. Coordination and cost effective use of resources will be demonstrated when annexations are aligned with and supported by intermunicipal development plans, municipal development plans, economic development plans, transportation and utility servicing plans and other related infrastructure plans. 9. Annexation proposals must fully consider the financial impact on the initiating and responding municipality. 10. Inter-agency consultation, coordination and cooperation is demonstrated when annexations proposals fully consider the impacts on other institutions providing services to the area. 11. Annexation proposals that develop reasonable solutions to impacts on property owners and citizens with certainty and specific time horizons will be given careful consideration and weight. 12. Annexation proposals must be based on effective public consultation both prior to and during any annexation hearing or proceedings. 13. Revenue sharing may be warranted when the annexation proposal involves existing or future special properties that generate substantive and unique costs to the impacted municipality(s) as part of the annexation or as an alternative to annexation. 14. Annexation proposals must not simply be a tax initiative. Each annexation proposal must have consideration of the full scope of costs and revenues related to the affected municipalities. The financial status of the initiating or the responding municipality(s) cannot be affected to such an 62 extent that one or the other is unable to reasonably achieve the purposes of a municipality as outlined in section 3 of the Act. The financial impact should be reasonable and be able to be mitigated through reasonable conditions of annexation. 15. Conditions of annexation must be certain, unambiguous, enforceable and be time specific. 63 Appendix D: Enabling Legislation This Plan is prepared and adopted pursuant to the Municipal Government Act which provides that: Intermunicipal development plans 631(1) Two or more councils of municipalities that have common boundaries that are not members of a growth region as defined in section 708.01 must, by each passing a bylaw in accordance with this Part or in accordance with sections 12 and 692, adopt an intermunicipal development plan to include those areas of land lying within the boundaries of the municipalities as they consider necessary. (1.1) Despite subsection (1), the Minister may, by order, exempt one or more councils from the requirement to adopt an intermunicipal development plan, and the order may contain any terms and conditions that the Minister considers necessary. (1.2) Two or more councils of municipalities that are not otherwise required to adopt an intermunicipal development plan under subsection (1) may, by each passing a bylaw in accordance with this Part or in accordance with sections 12 and 692, adopt an intermunicipal development plan to include those areas of land lying within the boundaries of the municipalities as they consider necessary. (2) An intermunicipal development plan (a) must address (i) the future land use within the area, (ii) the manner of and the proposals for future development in the area, (iii) the provision of transportation systems for the area, either generally or specifically, (iv) the co-ordination of intermunicipal programs relating to the physical, social and economic development of the area, (v) environmental matters within the area, either generally or specifically, and (vi) any other matter related to the physical, social or economic development of the area that the councils consider necessary, And (b) must include (i) a procedure to be used to resolve or attempt to resolve any conflict between the municipalities that have adopted the plan, (ii) a procedure to be used, by one or more municipalities, to amend or repeal the plan, and (iii) provisions relating to the administration of the plan. 64 Appendix E: Plan History and Process PLAN HISTORY The Municipalities adopted the first Intermunicipal Development Plan in 2010. The plan focused on creating development zones separating areas that would be serviced and those that would be unserviced. The boundaries of the serviced areas were based on the City of Camrose 2006 Growth Study 50 year growth plan and the approximately 2-mile referral area around the City aligned with the County's Municipal Development Plan's 2 mile notification area and historic planning documents dating back to the Battle River Regional Plan in 1982. In 2014, Council's agreed that small updates to the plan were required. These were primarily administrative in nature addressing how the Committee operates, timeline for plan review, and committee membership and clarification of specific clauses. The other change added Highway 26 as a Highway Corridor. In 2019, it was determined that the IDP needed a more extensive review to clarify interpretation, redefine the coordinated service areas and referral areas, and add sections on annexation. The Committee met several times with a mediator, and tasked administration to review the existing growth and master plans to draft a revision of the document. The draft was circulated to the public and a joint public hearing was held to receive community feedback. PLAN PROCESS 1. The City and County continue to recognize the importance of a coordinated approach to planning and development in building a strong community and agree that a shared plan helps guide growth to balance their individual and collective needs. 2. The CIC decided that a complete rewrite on the IDP was not necessary and tasked administration from both municipalities to draft the IDP. 3. After the draft IDP was agreed to in principle by the CIC, it was circulated to the Public through a Public Open House, prior to revisions being made. 4.
