RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
Renewable energy infrastructure installed on public or private land or buildings is permitted as a
Discretionary Use in all Land Use Districts in the Municipality. This technology must be developed
in a way that balances a range of community interests, and consideration must be given to how
a given project may interact with a number of competing land uses over its entire lifecycle.
While development of renewable energy within communities is often desirable, it is important for
communities to proactively outline specific guidelines and standards to manage this type of
progress. Doing so, in a proactive and clear manner is likely to minimize potential land use and
community conflicts, while providing clarity to project developers.
The following provides an overview of how the Municipality wishes to oversee renewable energy
project developments, including:
Solar energy systems
Wind energy (large and small)
Geo-exchange systems
Biomass district energy systems
Solar Energy Systems
Desired Outcome: The Municipality will work with applicants to facilitate the development of solar
projects in the community but must work to ensure that projects are implemented safely, and in a
manner that limits disturbances to viewscapes and adjacent landowners.
Context: Solar energy is a proven technology that can be easily implemented. Solar energy systems
do not produce greenhouse gas emissions and have minimal environmental and socio-economic
impacts. Additionally, the price of solar equipment has reduced significantly over the past decade
and will likely continue to do so in the future. At current electricity rates, solar photo-voltaic (PV) can
represent an attractive investment for residents and local businesses.
It is important for the Municipality to manage the uptake of this technology to maximize its potential
benefits and minimize potential drawbacks. The following summarizes the Municipality's approach
to managing various solar project configurations:
Roof Mounted Project
Location: The Municipality, at Council's discretion, will permit roof mounted solar energy systems on
all building roofs, in all land use zones, and will consider the following specific conditions in the review
of the application:
i.
The system equipment shall be certified by appropriate regulatory and safety standards;
ii.
The system shall meet all electrical code and building permit requirements;
iii. The system shall meet all SaskPower interconnection requirements;

PAGE | 88
R.M of McKillop No. 220
Zoning Bylaw No. 376/2019
Section 4: General Provisions
Wherever possible, removal of vegetation should be minimized to protect slope stability;
however, in cases where vegetation is removed, the root systems should be protected and
maintained.
For the purpose of this Bylaw, the area considered to present potential erosion and/or slope
instability hazard includes but is not limited to the slopes of the Last Mountain Lake or any
tributary creeks and gullies extending from the edge of the flood plain in the valley, to the
ridge of the slope at the top, plus a setback as determined by a required geotechnical
report for a proposed development.
Council may, at their discretion, require a surveyor to determine where this line or crest of
valley is located at the developer's expense and development will be setback from that
line at all points.
Any application for a Development Permit on any parcel of land that lies wholly or partially
within a potential erosion or slope instability area must be accompanied by a detailed site
analysis prepared by a professional geotechnical engineer registered to practice in the
Province of Saskatchewan. The site analysis shall include the following:
Indicate topography, surface drainage, geological, and geotechnical conditions at the site of the
proposed development;
Indicate the geotechnical conditions of the general area as they relate to slope instability and
erosion hazards;
If the proposed development will be detrimentally affected by natural erosion or slope instability;
If the proposed development will increase the potential for erosion or slope instability that may affect
the proposed development, or any other property;
Define the hazard that may affect the proposed development and other potentially affected
property;
Identify hazard mitigation measures including engineered works and other measures deemed to be
effective in eliminating or managing anticipated erosion and slope stability impacts, and;
Identify and explain known and suspected residual hazards.
The responsibility for monitoring and responding to monitored findings shall be resolved
before an approval is granted.
Any and all costs associated with a professional geotechnical analysis shall be borne by
the applicant, unless otherwise agreed upon by Council.
A Development Permit shall not be issued unless the geotechnical report for the site
indicates that the site is suitable for development or outlines suitable mitigating measures
and documents residual hazard.

Note: Distances are measured between livestock facilities and any dwelling, hamlet, village or town
development not owned by the ILO operator.
The Municipality may grant a reduction of the separation distance criteria where it can be proven
that a proposal will not negatively impact adjacent land uses. The cost of any such studies shall be
borne by the applicant. Prior to granting a reduction, the Municipality will consult with all agencies
deemed appropriate and may require registered written agreement from all land owners directly
affected by the reduction.
In determining proximity to a multi-parcel residential subdivision, village, town, or recreational use,
separation distances shall be measured from the area of confinement of the animals to the property
boundary of the closest developable parcel. Within an approved subdivision or development.
In determining proximity to a dwelling unit - single family located on agricultural property or within a
single parcel country residential subdivision not owned by the Intensive Agricultural Operator,
separation distances shall be measured from the area of confinement of the animals to the closest
part or portion of dwelling unit.
ILOs existing at the time of the adoption of this Bylaw shall continue. However, any expansion of the
operation or change of animal species or type of operation is required to obtain written approval
from Council in accordance with the requirements and conditions of this Bylaw.
At Councils' discretion, the ILO operator may be required to enter into a road maintenance
agreement to pay for the maintenance of roads required to provide access to the development.
Manure Application from a Non-Intensive Livestock Operation
In addition to the general requirements regarding discretionary use applications provided in
Section 3.13 of this Bylaw, the following additional considerations shall be made for all manure
applications for non-intensive livestock operations.
All new or expanding non-intensive livestock operations (those which do not require an ILO permit
from the Ministry of Saskatchewan Agriculture) including those which are under 300 animal units, are
prohibited from applying manure within 300 metres (984.25 feet) of a neighboring dwelling (including
the potable water supply of that dwelling) or inside an Environmentally Sensitive Overlay District. The
prohibition in this subsection shall not apply in the case of an existing operation which qualifies under
this Bylaw and the Act as a legal, nonconforming use.
PAGE | 105
R.M of McKillop No. 220
Zoning Bylaw No. 376/2019
Section 8: Agriculture/Resource 1 District - AR1
If a willing neighbour and the owner of the farming operation agree in writing to the new location
for the manure application within the 300 metres (984.25 feet) distance of the neighbor's dwelling,
Council will consider the agreement as part of an application for a discretionary use permit with a
condition exempting the operator from this setback requirement. Prior to making a decision on the
proposed discretionary use permit, Council shall consider the proposal in relation to:
i.
the soil type;
ii.
local topography;
iii. expected manure constituents and application rates,
iv. the adequacy of the proposed separation to reduce odour and nuisance; and
v.
any other matter identified by Council.
The operator may also be asked to supply a report from a professional agrologist or engineer
registered to practice in Saskatchewan commenting on the environment effects of the proposal;
and may also be referred to the provincial agencies for comment.
Notwithstanding that the owner of a non-intensive livestock operation and a neighbour may sign an
agreement to consent to manure application closer than 300 metres (984.25 feet) from the
neighbour's dwelling, Council shall not be bound by that agreement in requiring a smaller separation
distance.
Where such reduction is feasible, in Council's opinion, Council may only approve a lesser separation
of up to 10% variance from the relevant separation in that subsection, where the applicant submits
a copy of a signed agreement between the operator of the ILO and the neighbour. Where such
agreements are made, Council shall be a party to the agreement and may use Section 236 of the
Act to register the agreement as an interest on the title of the affected lands.
Aggregate Extraction
In addition to the general requirements regarding discretionary use applications provided in
Section 3.13 of this Bylaw, the following provisions shall apply to all applications for Aggregate
Extraction activities:
An application proposing a new aggregate extraction use or an expansion to an existing aggregate
extraction operation shall be a discretionary use and comply with all appropriate Provincial and
Federal regulations.
Land use incompatibility, nuisance and pollution shall be minimized;
Aggregate resources shall be carefully developed and conserved, where feasible;
Planned activities shall maximize public safety;
The environmental implications and consequences of the operation, including plans for site
restoration shall be considered during the approval process.
All new or expanding aggregate extraction operations are prohibited from operating within 300
metres (984.25 feet) of a neighboring dwelling (including the potable water supply of that dwelling)
or inside an Environmentally Sensitive Overlay District;
Aggregate extraction development and subdivision shall adhere to and require the following:

complies with the regulations outlined in Section 8.1 of this Bylaw in addition to the following
development regulations:
Potash, Fertilizer and Ethanol Plant Development
i.
Potash mining operations including, but not limited to, mine offices, maintenance and
processing building, headframes, wells, pipelines and storage facilities will be accommodated
as a Permitted use. Fertilizer plants or the development of an ethanol plant, whether in
PAGE | 108
R.M of McKillop No. 220
Zoning Bylaw No. 376/2019
Section 8: Agriculture/Resource 1 District - AR1
association with potash mining or fertilizer operations or as an independent operation, will be
accommodated as a permitted use.
ii.
Other related processing and service related development (tailing ponds, tailings piles, etc.) will
be considered as accessory uses to mining operations and also accommodated as permitted
use, if such uses are already regulated by Provincial or National Departments or Agencies. Other
related processing and service related development which is not regulated by those
Departments or Agencies shall be accommodated as discretionary uses.
iii. Potash, Fertilizer and Ethanol Plant Development shall refer to the minimum separation distance
requirements found in Table 5 below.
iv. At the project planning phase, Potash, Fertilizer and Ethanol Plant Development Operators
proposing to construct, operate or expand their facilities within the municipal boundaries are
required to first meaningfully engage the local community to discuss the proposed plans with
residents before moving forward with an environmental impact assessment.
v.
The Council may require that the Operator provide the Municipality with a damage deposit or
performance bond that shall be negotiated and agreed upon prior to the approval of a
Development Permit;
vi. Council may require that the Operator provide payment in lieu of any construction,
maintenance, and upgrades to municipal infrastructure required to facilitate and

Agreement to cover the costs related to usage, construction, maintenance, and reconstruction
of municipal roads as a result of mineral and resource development activities.
Oil and Gas Development
i.
Petroleum extraction development including wells, pipelines, compressor stations and storage
facilities will be accommodated as a permitted use. Related processing and service related
development (land farms for contaminated soil, oil storage batteries, etc.) will be
accommodated as a permitted use, if such uses are already regulated by Provincial or National
Departments or Agencies.
ii.
Other related intensive oil and gas developments, which is not regulated by those Departments
or Agencies (e.g. processing and service related development) shall be accommodated as
Discretionary uses.
iii. Exploration and development of oil and gas shall be subject to all Federal and Provincial
requirements, and such activity must comply with the objectives and policies outlined in the
Official Community Plan.
iv. Upon approval by the Municipality, the Owner of the pipeline shall provide the Municipality at
least forty-eight (48) hours' notice of the Owner's intention to commence work. Written request
must be made to the Municipality before construction begins and the Owner shall obtain the
required municipal standards for construction for approaches and for pipelines (flow lines)
crossing road allowances.
v.
Notwithstanding Section 3.8.5 of this Bylaw, temporary development permits may be issued
specifying timelines and conditions for such uses of a temporary nature such as oil and gas,
mineral seismic or exploratory activities, or other ecotourism/seasonal activities. In no way,
should the issuance of these permits provide the approval of projects other than that which is
outlined specifically in the permit. Council has the right to revoke said permits if any of the
PAGE | 109
R.M of McKillop No. 220
Zoning Bylaw No. 376/2019
Section 8: Agriculture/Resource 1 District - AR1
conditions are not met. Temporary permits will not be issued if the use is not acceptable within
the appropriate zoning designation or incompatible with the provisions of the Official
Community Plan.
vi. The Municipality may apply special standards as outlined in The Municipalities Act, 2005 to
protect the municipal interest when transportation, utility and pipeline facilities cross Municipal
roads, or when seismic activity is proposed on roads or road allowance.
vii. To minimize conflict between mineral resource extraction, or oil and gas operations and
surrounding land uses, the separation distances identified in Table 5 of this Bylaw shall be
adhered to. These separation distances shall be used to ensure adequate separation distances
between Mineral resource extraction, oil and gas operations and other uses which may conflict
with this industry or land uses which should not be developed due to problems with air quality or
proximity to pipelines (e.g. oil batteries).
viii. Distances shall be measured between the boundaries of the mineral and resource development
site and the boundaries of any dwelling, hamlet, or development, inclusive of source water not
owned by the operator.
ix. The separation distances may be altered by Council as a condition of a permitted or
discretionary use permit where authorized by the Zoning Bylaw.
x.
Where the minimum separation would not be sufficient, but the potential land use conflict would
be reduced to acceptable levels, or eliminated with a greater separation distance, Council may
require a greater separation than shown. This would only apply where an unacceptable land
use conflict would result between existing and future operations.

10.0 COUNTRY RESIDENTIAL 1 DISTRICT
The purpose of the Country Residential 1 District (CR1) is to accommodate a limited variety of
dispersed, non-farm residential uses on separate sites, which are larger than those sites allowed in

residential activity from agricultural operations while maintaining a close link to the operations and
a rural farm lifestyle. To implement the intent of this district, council shall ensure that new residences
will only be allowed at a low density and on sites which avoid slump or flood-prone land and
protect the natural environment, particularly the water resource. Such proposals must also not
conflict with adjoining agricultural uses or be prohibitively difficult or costly to service.
In the Country Residential 1 District (CR1), no person shall use any land, building or structure or
erect any building or structure except in accordance with the following provisions:
10.1
