MUNICIPALITY OF LOUISE
ZONING BYLAW NO. 2022-09
Adopted
July 27, 2022
i
HOW TO USE THIS ZONING BY-LAW
This zoning bylaw regulates the use, size, height and location of buildings on properties within the
Municipality of Louise. There is a simple four-step process to determine the uses and structures that are
permitted on a specific piece of property.
What zone is your property located in?
x
Use the Zoning Maps in Schedule A to determine the zoning for your property.
x
Reference Part 5: Zones for a description of the intent of that particular zone.
x
Look in the South Central Planning District Development Plan to confirm your proposal fits with the
applicable policies in those documents.
What uses are permitted in your zone?
x
Find the column with the zone of your property in the applicable Use & Bulk Table in Part 5: Zones.
x
Uses marked with the letter µP¶ are permitted uses and may be developed once you have received
a development permit.
x
Uses marked with the letter µC¶ are conditional uses that ma\ or ma\ not be acceptable in a ]one
depending on the particular circumstances of a proposed development. Conditional uses require a
public hearing process and may have extra conditions imposed on the use to make it acceptable
for the location.
x
Uses that have use-specific requirements referenced in a Use & Bulk Table can be found in Part 4:
Use Standards.
How and where can you develop properties in your zone?
x
Find the appliable Use and Bulk Table for the zone of your property in Part 5: Zones
x
The Use & Bulk Table provides information on allowable height of buildings and structures,
required yards, and other spatial requirements for a property.
x
To understand the specific details of these requirements, you may need to reference Part 2:
General Regulations and Part 7: Definitions.
What kind of permits do you need?
x
In most cases, you will need a development permit before you start any change in land use or any
development (including construction of a building) on a property.
x
Check Part 6: Administration to see if your planned development is exempt from needing a
development permit. If so, you may proceed with development, as long as it meets the other
requirements in this zoning bylaw and other applicable bylaws.
x
If you need a development permit, fill out a development permit application.
x
You are responsible for finding out any other provincial or federal regulations applying to your
development, as well as any other required local permits, including building permits and plumbing
permits, demolition permits, etc.

Where any site requirement (including site area, site width, required yards or parking) of an existing parcel
of land is reduced below the requirements of this bylaw as a result of land acquired for any public work--
such as a street, lane, public utility, public works, public park area or public monument--it shall be deemed
to conform to the requirements of this By-law
2.19 Lot Grading

established storm water runoff from that or any adjacent property
2.20 Moving and Demolition of Buildings
a) No building or structure shall be moved in whole or in part to any other location unless a
development permit has been granted and every portion of the building or structure is made to
conform to or, where a variation order is granted pertaining to the regulations of this bylaw, apply to
the zone in which it is located and to the Building Bylaw

Municipality of Louise Zoning Bylaw No. 2022-09
8
safe condition to the satisfaction of the Development Officer, with whom Council shall rely on for
advice that the site owner has undertaken appropriate action to ensure public safety on the
affected site. Unless otherwise specified, a minimum of 6 inches of topsoil is to be added to
complete the filling of the excavation.
2.21 High Water Table Areas
Groundwater conditions are highly variable throughout the Municipality and in some areas, the groundwater
table may be very close to the surface. It is the owner¶s responsibilit\ to provide sufficient measures in the
design of the building to adequately protect basements from groundwater infiltration and in the design of
on-site wastewater treatment to protect the groundwater quality.
2.22 Flood Risk Areas and Hazard Lands
Development on hazard lands, as identified in Policy 2.3.4.1 and Figures 5 and 6 of the South Central
Planning District Development Plan, is restricted to low intensity uses (such as grazing and open space
uses), unless it can be demonstrated that a proposed development is compatible with the risks or that
hazards have been eliminated or protected against. The following requirements apply to any proposed
development that is not a low intensity use:
a) Applications for development on hazard lands shall include, where applicable:
(i) a geotechnical engineering report showing how the development may occur without
creating any additional erosion risks and how to remediate or lessen any existing erosion
risk or instability
(ii) an engineering report showing how the development, with flood protection measures to a
200 year flood event plus applicable freeboard, as indicated by the appropriate provincial
authority, may occur without creating any additional risks
b) All development applications in flood plain hazard areas shall be referred to the provincial authority
responsible for flood protection for review and comment
c) Where a public road is subject to flooding or erosion, any new development shall be a conditional
use and subject to complete engineering studies and a development agreement with the
Municipality.
d) In areas where a specific bank stability risk has not been identified, nor engineering study
completed, buildings should be set back a distance of at least 10 times the height of the bank
above the ordinary high watermark of any water course or 200 ft., whichever is greater
e) Where development is proposed in an area which, in the opinion of the Development Officer, may
be subject to ponding due to snowmelt or heavy rainfall events, the applicant may be required to
undertake additional measures to protect from flood damage, including the provision of sufficient fill
around the building
PART 2: GENERAL REGULATIONS
Municipality of Louise Zoning Bylaw No. 2022-09

2.23 Riparian and Wetland Areas
a) No development shall occur within the area 100 ft. upslope from the ordinary high-water mark of a
natural water body, waterway, wetland, or a third (or higher) order drain. No development shall
occur within 50 ft. of a first or second order drain, or artificially created retention pond.
