Yellowhead County's Land Use Bylaw regulates how land and buildings may be used and developed throughout the County. It establishes land use districts, sets development rules for each district, and outlines the processes for development permits, subdivisions, and bylaw administration.
**LAND USE BYLAW 02.24**
## Land Use Bylaw Amendment
Yellowhead County Council is the approving authority for all amendments to the Land Use Bylaw.
## Land Use Bylaw Amendment FAQs
##
A Land Use Bylaw Amendment application must include a completed application form, signatures from all landowners, a written statement explaining the reasons for the request, and the required application fee as set out in the Fee Bylaw.
Land Use Bylaw Amendment Application Form
##
Referral letters are circulated to applicable agencies for comment, after which the application is presented to Council for first reading. If Council grants first reading, a public hearing is scheduled and advertised in the local newspaper for two weeks prior to the hearing date. Following the public hearing, Council will determine whether to proceed with second and third readings. If the bylaw receives third reading, written notice of approval will be sent to the applicant and to anyone who attended the public hearing, together with a copy of the signed bylaw. If Council does not proceed with first, second, or third reading, the application is deemed refused, and the applicant will be notified in writing.
##
There is no right-of-appeal for Land Use Bylaw amendment applications under the Municipal Government Act.
