developments. This plan is intended to address the following topics:
a) proposed land use(s) for various parts of the plan area;
b) the effect of proposed development on adjacent land uses;

design of the area;
d) the location of, and access to, major transportation routes and utility
corridors;
e) the provision of services, and the relationship to existing infrastructure
within the Municipality;

The CDR must be prepared in accordance with the goals, objectives and
policies of the Official Community Plan.
5.3.
The scope and required detail of the CDR will be based on the scale of the
proposed development and its location.
5.4.
The following items shall be included in the preparation of a CDR:

development including an inventory of current land uses within the
development review area and evidence of compliance with the Official

intensity of development proposed;
ii. an inventory of natural and heritage resources including screening
of environmental, archaeological, and historically significant areas
within and adjacent to the development;
iii. identification of potential hazard lands within the plan area and the
proposed methods of mitigating the hazards; and
iv. identification of the potential impact of proposed development on
existing infrastructure and adjacent land uses.
c) identification of the concept for development including a thorough
description and explanation, illustrations, and any technical and
professional analysis required to identify:

but not limited to power, natural gas, telecommunications, water
supply, and onsite wastewater disposal systems;
v. evidence that the carrying capacity of the soil within the plan area

water created by the development, and that the anticipated effect
on the regional surface and groundwater systems quantity and
quality is minimized;
vi. the local hydrology, providing evidence that the design provides
sufficient capacity to contain storm water and surface runoff locally
to accommodate a 1:100 year flood event, with no significant
increase in offsite flows resulting from development of the area;
vii. the proposed buffering from, or integration with, adjacent land
uses;
viii. the impact of human activity and development on the natural
environment and plans for the conservation, management and
integration of existing natural features within the plan area;
ix. a transportation plan for the area identifying road requirements,
major commuting routes and the potential impact of development
on current roadway infrastructure; and
x. the local capacity of fire and protective services, schools and other
supportive community and recreational facilities.
d) The applicant shall provide evidence of significant and effective public
consultation acknowledging and attempting to incorporate the findings
within the development proposal wherever possible to ensure that the
development is perceived as beneficial to the area. The information
required as part of the review process includes but is not limited to:
i. submission of a consultation plan, identifying the program and
timing of consultation;
ii. submission of a summary of findings, clearly identifying ideas and
areas of support and challenges presented through the
consultation process; and

R.M. of Corman Park Zoning Bylaw - May, 2024
Discretionary Use Evaluation Criteria:
6.17. Council may designate discretionary uses in any zoning district where, in
Council's opinion, the type of development may have one or more features or
potential effects that warrant proposal-specific review in terms of the
considerations identified in Figure 1.
6.18. Discretionary uses typically have features or effects that warrant Council's
consideration to determine if:
a) the proposed development is suitable as proposed,
b) specific development standards by means of a development agreement
should be applied, or
c) the proposed development should not be approved.
6.19. In exercising its discretion Council will consider the evaluation criteria identified
in Figure 1. Council will determine the extent and nature of the information
and analysis required to render a decision and may, upon initial review of an
application, request specific additional information and analysis from the
applicant.
6.20. Where, in Council's opinion, the proposed development has one or more
features or effects that warrant the application of specific development
standards to achieve the fit Council desires; these standards shall be identified
as conditions of approval and included in a development agreement.

7.2.
In determining whether a building, structure or use is temporary, Council shall
take the following factors into consideration:

given such things as the time of the year, and the equipment required
to remove it; and

conforms to the provisions of this Bylaw.

Once the Temporary Use has ceased, the site must be restored to the same
condition as it was prior to the beginning of the Temporary use or restored to
