set out in the Zoning Bylaw.
5.2.3.2.
Council shall consider the current demand for and existing
inventory of undeveloped multi-parcel country residential lots
when reviewing multi- parcel country residential subdivision
proposals.

proposed development meets a specific documented need that
is not addressed within the available undeveloped lot inventory
including alternative forms of housing and multi-parcel country
residential development. Council may amend policy and
development standards to accommodate such development.
5.2.3.5.
The number and arrangement of approved lots shall be
determined on a case by case basis and shall have
consideration for:
a) the carrying capacity of the lands proposed for development
based on site conditions, environmental considerations and
potential impacts, and other factors that may warrant
consideration in the design of the proposal;
b) the suitability and availability of municipal and other
services and infrastructure necessary to support the
proposal; and
- 15 -
R.M. of Corman Park Development Plan - May, 2024

that of the surrounding area.

residential subdivision proposals incorporate environmentally
sustainable subdivision design principles including but not
limited to the following:
a) the subdivision design shall respond to and incorporate
existing natural resources including: wildlife corridors and
habitat, topographic features and environmentally sensitive
lands with particular attention to hydrologic features and
systems; and

multi-parcel country residential development shall be 64.8 ha
(160 acres).
5.2.3.8.
Where a substantive active public recreational amenity is being
proposed in conjunction with a multi-parcel country residential
development, the development may exceed the maximum
development area identified in Section 5.2.3.7. In considering
proposals to rezone property for this use, Council shall:
a) permit only those developments which exhibit significant
amenities or propose substantial recreational components;
b) equate the maximum number of residential lots which will
be permitted with the level of investment in the recreational
component; and

recreational component, or both, to be undertaken in
accordance with the provisions of section 69 of The
Planning and Development Act, 2007 and Section 12.2.4.
of this Plan. (Bylaw 39/17, Approved September 20,
2017)

record of substantial public consultation including involvement

6.2.4.
Notwithstanding compliance with the Official Community Plan and Zoning
Bylaw, development permits for individual development shall require
compliance with all provincial and federal legislation including but not limited
to:

standards.
6.3.
The Industrial Land Use Classifications of the Plan shall be:
6.3.1.
The plan contains three classifications of industrial land use comprised of
Business, Light Industrial and Heavy Industrial. These land use
classifications define the three levels of intensity for industrial land use and
are distinguishable by their propensity for creating offsite impacts, the need
for traffic exposure, and dependency upon the use of land for the outdoor
storage of raw and unfinished goods. Specific Zoning Districts under these
land use classifications will be provided in the Zoning Bylaw.
6.3.2.
Business Classification is characterized as:
a) accommodating service commercial/business and light industrial
uses where the potential for offsite impacts and/or land use conflicts
is minimal and location adjacent to major highways for exposure is
important;
b) permitting small and medium-sized, value-added manufacturing
and service industries;
c) having fully landscaped sites, screened loading areas, an absence
of outdoor storage of raw materials and an overall quality of site
development that is superior to light or heavy industrial areas;
d) providing a buffer or transitional area between more intensive
industrial uses and incompatible uses, such as residential areas, or
along major transportation routes; and
e) agricultural-related industrial uses including sales, processing and
storage.
6.3.3.
Business Classification development may be integrated into highway
frontage for existing or planned industrial parks when suitable access can
be provided. The Business District properties should function to visually
buffer the Light and/or Heavy Industrial uses in the industrial park.
6.3.4.
Light Industrial Classification is characterized as:
a) accommodating developments which have low to moderate
potential for offsite impacts and/or land use conflicts with regard to
noise, vibration, dust, smoke, aesthetics or odour and are less
dependent on exposure to high traffic areas;
b) permitting a variety of industrial uses, including but not limited to
manufacturing, assembly and repair, warehousing, wholesale
distribution, and limited retailing as an accessory use.
c) permitting limited outdoor storage of raw materials subject to
screening to the satisfaction of Municipality and an overall quality
of site development that is superior to heavy industrial areas;
- 21 -
R.M. of Corman Park Development Plan - May, 2024
d) agriculturally related industrial uses including processing and
storage.
6.3.5.
Heavy Industrial Classification is characterized as:
a) developments which have a high potential for conflicts with
adjacent land uses and are not dependent on exposure to high
traffic areas;
b) land uses and processes that may potentially create offsite impacts
and/or land use conflicts; and
c) permitting the outdoor storage of raw and processed materials
subject to the provision of screening to the satisfaction of the
Municipality.

property boundary of the closest developable parcel within the
Rural Industrial Park;
b) within the separation distances outlined in the Zoning Bylaw of an
Intensive Livestock Operation. (Bylaw 41/23, Approved March 7,
2024)
6.4.2.
The planning of industrial development within established or proposed
industrial parks shall ensure that industries with a high potential for land use
conflicts are located in a manner that provides for adequate buffering from
non-industrial uses of land through the use of distance separation and/or
landscaping, providing a visual buffer from potentially impacted properties.
6.4.3.
As a condition of approval of a multi-parcel industrial park subdivision,
Council may in accordance with a septic monitoring bylaw adopted pursuant
to The Municipalities Act, require the developer to incorporate a Community
Association to monitor the ongoing operation and maintenance of an on-site
wastewater system. (Bylaw 15/18, Approved July 27, 2018)
6.5.
The Site-Specific Industrial Policies of the Plan shall be:
6.5.1.
