LAND
The Land Use Bylaw establishes the regulations on how land can be developed (that is, how land can be used and buildings can be either
constructed or moved in) in the Village of Glendon. Regulations vary depending on the location and types of development. Other Bylaws
or regulations of the municipality, Province or Federal Government must also be followed.
There are several parts of the Land Use Bylaw that need to be examined to understand how it works. Firstly, the Land Use Bylaw maps
divide the municipality into various Land Use Districts. Secondly, the text of the Land Use Bylaw details the uses that are allowed in each
District. Thirdly, the text provides additional regulations that apply to certain uses and/or within certain Districts. The following steps
may assist the user:
Locate the subject property on the Land Use District Map. These maps divide the municipality into various Land Use Districts. Each Land
Use District has a designation such as R1 - Residential District (Large Homes, Large Lots). Take note of which Land Use District the subject
property is located in.
Check the table of contents and locate the Land Use District you are interested in. In each Land Use District you will find a list of permitted
and discretionary uses, subdivision regulations, development regulations and other miscellaneous regulations. This determines how and
what can be developed in any given Land Use District. There are definitions in Section 2 - Interpretation that should also be consulted
to ensure that words and terms used in the Land Use Bylaw are understood.
Review the Table of Contents to see if there are any general regulations that apply to the situation or use in question. For example,
Section 7 - Enforcement describes the enforcement procedure. Section 8 - General Regulations address topics such as accessory
buildings, home occupations, signs, and moved-in buildings, to name just a few.
Discuss your proposal/concern with Village Administration; they can assist you with your development, subdivision, general inquiry
issues and to explain procedures. They can also assist with other situations such as enforcement or a Land Use Bylaw amendment.
Please note that this Guide to Using the Land Use Bylaw is intended to assist the reader, and does not form part of the Land Use Bylaw.

MANUFACTURED HOMES
1
Before a development permit application is approved for a manufactured home, the development authority shall ask the applicant
for verification that the home complies with both the CSA Z240 MH National Mobile Home Standard and the Alberta Building
Code (ABC) by virtue of the existence of appropriate labels. If either the CSA Z240 or the Alberta Municipal Affairs label is missing,
the development authority will require an inspection prior to approving an application for a development permit for the location
of the manufactured home on a lot. That inspection is to be done by an Alberta Safety Codes Officer and is to indicate whether,
and under what circumstances, the manufactured home can regain a CSA Z240 label, and can be modified to comply with the
regulations made pursuant to the Alberta Safety Codes Act.
2
Should one or both labels not be attached, and therefore should an inspection by an Alberta Safety Codes Officer be required, a
copy of the inspection report shall be provided to the Development Authority. Should the inspection indicate that upgrades to
the manufactured home are necessary to bring the home into compliance with the CSA Z240 standard or regulations made
pursuant to the Alberta Safety Codes Act, the Development Authority will assess the nature of the required upgrades and, in
consultation with the applicant, determine if the applicant is willing to undertake the upgrades necessary, in terms of both cost
and time. If the applicant indicates, in writing, that he is willing to undertake the upgrades, the Development Authority may
approve the development permit application, but only on condition that all required upgrades are made and that the
Development Authority receive verification from an Alberta Safety Codes Officer that such upgrades have been satisfactorily
completed prior to occupancy of the manufactured home as a dwelling.
3
Should both labels be attached to the manufactured home, the development authority will still require, as a condition of the
approval of a development permit, that an inspection by an Alberta Safety Codes Officer be undertaken, that the inspection report
be provided to the Development Authority, and should the inspection indicate that upgrades to the manufactured home are
necessary to bring the home into compliance with the requirements of the regulations made pursuant to the Safety Codes Act,
all required upgrades shall be made, and further require that all of these steps be undertaken prior to the occupancy of the
manufactured home as a dwelling.
4
