OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
3.1 NATURAL AND HERITAGE RESOURCES
3.1.1 FINDINGS
-
The RM of Winslow occupies 9 townships (Townships 31 - 33 , Ranges 19 - 21, W3M) in western
Saskatchewan. Total land area in the municipality is approximately 79,807ha (197,207.39 acres).
-
The Rural Municipality is situated within the mixed grassland ecoregion of Saskatchewan. The
municipality lies within several different landscape areas within this ecoregion which represents the
driest area of the province as evidenced by the absence of native trees and scarcity of wetlands and
permanent water bodies. About half of the ecoregion is cultivated, with the remainder used for extensive
grazing of livestock on native or introduced grasses.
-
A total of approximately 2,728 ha of wetlands and 2,448 ha of open water / lakes have been identified
in the RM of Winslow. Notable waterbodies within the RM includes Kiyiu Lake and Opuntia Lake.
Wetlands and other poorly drained soils exist within the RM of Winslow often providing important
wildlife habitats. The wetlands may present flood hazards and are generally unsuitable for most forms
of development and land use. Ensuring that land use and development in wetland areas fit with the
opportunities and constraints presented by wetland systems is an important consideration in land use
and development decisions.
-
The Saskatchewan Terrestrial Wildlife Habitat Inventory provides an overview of terrestrial wildlife
habitat located in the RM of Winslow at the time of the inventory. Providing a broad, comprehensive
application of terrestrial wildlife habitat, the wildlife concerns of this inventory are primarily with
mammals and birds having predominantly terrestrial habitat requirements. Consideration should be
given to potentially sensitive wildlife habitats located in the RM of Winslow during land use and
development decisions. Areas of potential critical wildlife habitat include two areas within the RM
which have been identified on Map 5 - Development Constraints.
-
The RM of Winslow is also home to Opuntia Lake which is an important wildlife refuge and bird
sanctuary (located north east of the Village of Plenty).
-
The RM of Winslow is located within the Eagle Creek Watershed. A survey of Eagle Creek was
developed in conjunction with the Eagle Creek Watershed Group. Threats to source water within this
watershed are addressed within the survey.
-
The Council of the RM of Winslow recognizes that it has a role and responsibility for stewardship of
the environment. Protection of source water within the RM is an important consideration in the
development and land management of the municipality.
-
Gravel is a non-renewable resource and any exploitable deposits should be protected from being "sealed
over" with other uses until such time as the gravel has been extracted.
-
Consideration should be made towards the development of land use policy that ensures future
development is consistent with the protection of significant natural resources in the Municipality.
-
There are no National, Provincial or Municipal Designated Heritage Properties within the RM.
-
The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations provides the following statements (which are
addressed in the objectives and policies that follow):
o The province has an interest in the protection of water sources that provide safe drinking water.
o The province has an interest in conserving Saskatchewan's biodiversity, unique landscapes
and ecosystems for present and future generations.
o The province has an interest in maintaining and encouraging the exploration for and
development of mineral resources.

RM of Winslow Official Community Plan
3.2 BIOPHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS AND HAZARDS
3.2.1 FINDINGS
-
Potential flood areas are defined based on the most recent and reliable information. Development
should only be undertaken on a case-by-case basis, depending on flood hazard potential. While there
is a need to map these areas more precisely, in the absence of this precise information, potential flood
prone areas are identified on Map 5 for general information purposes only. Areas around existing water
bodies and other low areas in the RM that are not identified as potential flood prone areas have no
historical data available and may also be flood prone.
-
Policies to address development on or near land potentially susceptible to natural hazards such as
flooding, slope instability, erosion, expansive clay soils, and other manmade hazards are imperative.
-
Development in the RM will need to continue to have regard for appropriate safe buildings elevations
as recommended by the Water Security Agency.
-
Other potential hazards that exist within the RM include the CP Kerrobert line, running west and east
across the RM and through the villages of Dodsland and Plenty, and several high pressure Transgas
pipelines. Appropriate consideration should be given to determining required setbacks and guidelines
regarding development in proximity to these potential hazards.
-
The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations provides the following statements concerning
biophysical constraints on development (which is addressed in the objectives and policies that follow):
o The province has an interest in safe, healthy, reliable and cost-effective public works to
facilitate economic growth, community development, and resilience to extreme weather events.
o The province has an interest in the safety and security of individuals, communities and property
from natural and human induced threats.
3.2.2 OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Objective 3.2.2.1
Development on Potentially Hazardous Land
To discourage development on potentially hazardous land and ensure that appropriate development
standards are met when development is feasible.
Policy (a)
Ensure the most recent information on potential flood hazard areas within the municipality
as it relates to new subdivision applications and applications for development permits is
used.
Policy (b)
Development shall avoid land that is potentially hazardous due to flooding, erosion,
slumping, slope instability or contamination.
Policy (c)
Where subdivision or development is proposed for what Council considers may be hazard
land, or on land within +/- 0.5 metres of the Safe Building Elevation as established, the
applicant may be required to submit a report, prepared by professionals certified to assess
relevant factors, to assess the geotechnical suitability of the site, susceptibility to flooding,
slope instability or other environmental hazards, together with any required mitigation
measures. Council may refuse to authorize development on hazard land or may permit
development only in accordance with specified mitigation measures. These measures may
be attached as a condition for a development permit approval. The costs associated with
RM of Winslow Official Community Plan
11
undertaking specified mitigation measures, and with providing the required documentation
related to any specified mitigation measures will be borne by the applicant or proponent of
the proposed development.
Policy (d)
Where there is subdivision of land, any areas that are determined to be hazard land, where
mitigation of the identified hazard has been determined by the approving authority as not
feasible or as undesirable, shall be designated as environmental reserve in accordance with
The Planning and Development Act, 2007.
Policy (e)
As per The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations, insofar as is practical, the
development of new buildings and additions to buildings in the flood way in the 1:500 year
flood elevation of any watercourse or water body shall be prohibited.
Policy (f)
As per The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations, insofar as is practical,
development of new buildings and additions to buildings to an elevation of 0.5 metres
above the 1:500 year flood elevation of any watercourse or water body in the flood fringe
shall be flood-proofed.
Policy (g)
Establish development standards for development on or near hazard lands in the Zoning
Bylaw.
Policy (h)
Council may require new development to provide adequate surface water drainage to
maximize on site infiltration and minimize increased overland flow of water from the
development to adjoining land and drainage infrastructure. The use of drainage techniques
and material such as permeable pavement to facilitate on-site stormwater infiltration and
storage that reduces the amount of runoff will be encouraged. Site design techniques that
minimize paved areas and soil compaction and preserve natural open spaces including
existing trees and natural drainage channels will also be encouraged. Additionally, Council
may require that new development provide an adequate degree of suitable landscaping to
enhance the visual amenity of the site in keeping with the existing and preferred character
of the area.
Policy (i)
The RM will use Map 5 - Development Constraints and the Zoning District Map to aid in
identifying any flood prone lands.
Objective 3.2.2.2
Development Constraints
To manage development on potentially development constrained land and ensure that appropriate
development standards are met when development is feasible.
Policy (a)
The RM will utilize Map 4 - Development Considerations and Map 5 - Development
Constraints to assess development constraints and acceptability of proposed subdivision
and development within the municipality. Future subdivisions or re-zoning for multiple
parcel residential, commercial or industrial development shall avoid conflict with existing
land uses and be sensitive to development constraints and considerations.
Policy (b)
All proposed developments adjacent to high pressure pipelines should demonstrate how
the development responds to the Recommended Set Back and Utility Corridor
Requirements, 2015 prepared by SaskEnergy and TransGas and all other relevant acts and
regulations.

RM of Winslow Official Community Plan
3.3 TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
3.3.1 FINDINGS
-
The RM is served by a grid road system that connects to provincial highway #31 (east/west). To
ensure that future development does not place additional unnecessary pressure on existing road
maintenance obligations of the Municipality, consideration should be given to the development of
municipal servicing policies.
-
The RM of Winslow is also served by "Clearing the Path" Primary Roads along grid road #657 and
Township Road 324 - east of highway #31. A primary weight corridor system project started in
2004 by the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) and the Saskatchewan
Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) with the intent to improve the economic development
climate in rural communities. Primary weights are permitted nine months of the year (with
secondary weights being permitted March to June). Protection of this transportation infrastructure
is an important consideration for the RM.
-
The CP Kerrobert rail line runs through the RM. Potential expansion of the rail system to serve the
needs of industry may have an impact on the RM's roadway system and / or other parts of the RM's
infrastructure such as drainage and transportation.
-
In 2013, The Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Railway Association of Canada
released Guidelines for New Development in Proximity to Railway Operations which includes
guidelines and best practices that can be applied when converting industrial / commercial property
into residential use when in proximity to railway operations. The CP rail system serves the RM of
Winslow and the region.
-
The RM is served by the Western Regional Landfill located approximately 10 kilometres west of
the Town of Kindersley.
-
Two sewage lagoons are located in the RM, adjacent to the Villages of Dodsland and Plenty. The
Subdivision Regulations, 2014 requires a 457 metre, or other setback as may be established by the
Ministry of Environment, from residential and other types of development.
-
The RM does not have a formal Asset Management Plan however, continues to undertake asset
management planning in a manner consistent with requirements for municipalities within
Saskatchewan.
-
As a condition of subdivision approval, it is suggested that the municipality consider creating a
policy stating that applicants shall enter into a servicing agreement with the municipality, as
provided in Section 172 of The Planning and Development Act, 2007.
-
Section 169 of The Act provides Council the authority to establish development levies, by bylaw,
intended to recover capital costs of services and facilities that directly or indirectly serve land that
is not subject to an application for subdivision. Providing Council has passed a Development Levy
Bylaw subject to Sections 169 and 170 of The Act, Section 171 of The Act authorizes Council to
enter into a development levy agreement with the applicant or owner to pay development levies.
-
To ensure that future development in the Municipality can be adequately serviced by municipal
infrastructure systems, consideration should be made towards the development of appropriate
infrastructure and servicing policies, including clarifying the level and types of services the
Municipality is capable of delivering to country residential developments.
-
The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations provides the following statements concerning
public works, transportation and infrastructure (which are addressed in the objectives and policies
that follow):
o The province has an interest in safe, healthy, reliable and cost-effective public works to
facilitate economic growth and community development and resilience to extreme weather
events.
RM of Winslow Official Community Plan
13
o The province has an interest in safe, cost effective transportation systems that meet existing
and future needs for economic growth, community development and diversification.
3.3.2 OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The RM will not support new development or subdivision applications unless
infrastructure and utility systems and services have adequate capacity, including the
availability of a licensed solid waste management facility for use by the new development.
Policy (c)
The RM will not be responsible for the capital costs associated with the provision of
municipal services to new subdivisions, except for developments owned by the
municipality. Where a private development requires municipal services, the proponent will
be responsible for all costs associated with providing the services. Council may require a
proponent of a development to undertake an engineering study that clearly articulates the
on- and off-site infrastructure required to support the development. On-site and off-site
infrastructure to support new development proposals may:
(i)
already exist and have the capacity to support the development, subject to the
payment of applicable levies or fees; or
(ii)
be proposed to be constructed by the developer as an integral component of the
development itself.
Policy (d)
Council will consider all new developments containing communal water and sewer systems
on the basis that the users of these systems will be responsible for the costs of their
construction, management and operation through the auspices of a public body, a resident
association or a private utility arrangement in the form of a cooperative or non-profit
corporation.
14
RM of Winslow Official Community Plan
Policy (e)
Council will consider any proposals by residents of a multiple lot country residential area
for the development of a communal water distribution system. Proposals must be based on
a preliminary engineering report outlining design requirements and cost estimates for the
proposed system and be accompanied by evidence of resident support for the proposal.
Financing for any approved system will be derived pursuant to The Local Improvement
Act. Council will require in its approval that residents assume responsibility for ongoing
operation and maintenance of the system through the auspices of a public or private utility.
Policy (f)
Council may, subject to a request by the majority of residents of a multi-parcel country
residential area, agree to the provision of an extended service such as dust control or greater
than normal snow clearing service. The financing of such service will be arranged through
enactment of a special tax bylaw pursuant to the provisions of Section 312 of The
Municipalities Act, 2005.
Policy (g)
Council may establish, by separate bylaw, policies respecting garbage pickup and solid
waste disposal in country residential subdivisions and other areas of the RM.
Policy (h)
When reviewing development proposals, Council may request utility companies and/or oil
companies to indicate their existing and future services in and around the area of the
development proposal. The availability of such services will be a consideration in
Council's position with respect to development proposals.
Policy (i)
Storm water management shall be designed by a professional engineer in accordance with
appropriate engineering standards.
Policy (j)
Where the development of new or upgraded liquid and solid waste disposal facilities is
proposed, consideration shall be given to the regionalisation of such facilities, provided the
projects are also being funded regionally.
Objective 3.3.2.2
Locational Criteria
Policy (a)
Public works in the form of solid and liquid waste management or disposal facilities will
be allowed at the discretion of Council subject to locational and development standards as
specified in the Zoning Bylaw and subject to the following locational policies:
(i)
Public works in the form of solid and liquid waste management or disposal
facilities have the potential to negatively affect the general welfare of nearby
residents and the quality of recreation opportunity, relating to such factors as
odours, blowing debris, decreased land values and perceived hazards. Therefore,
in order to minimize conflict between such public works and other development,
separation distances between public works in the form of solid and liquid waste
management or disposal facilities and other principal land uses are included in the
zoning bylaw.
(ii)
Council may require a greater separation than set out in the Zoning Bylaw. This
would only apply where an unacceptable land use conflict would result with
existing developments (e.g. in instances where higher nearby development
intensity or topographic situation results in greater potential for conflict and where
such greater separation would serve to reduce the conflict to acceptable levels).
RM of Winslow Official Community Plan
15
(iii)
Using the discretionary use procedure outlined in the Zoning Bylaw, Council shall
require public notice of a proposal for the development, expansion or alteration of
a solid or liquid waste management or disposal facility and shall hold a public
hearing on the proposal.
Objective 3.3.2.3
Servicing Agreements for New Subdivisions
To ensure that the cost of required infrastructure for development is known and covered by servicing
agreement fees.
Policy (a)
Where a subdivision of land will require the installation or improvement of municipal
services such as roads or streets, utilities, water supply systems, sewage disposal facilities,
and fire protection facilities the developer will be required to enter into a servicing
agreement with the municipality to cover the capital costs as defined in The Planning and
Development Act, 2007 with respect to the installation or improvements including, where
necessary, charges to cover the costs of improvement or upgrading of services that directly
or indirectly serve the proposed subdivision. These charges may differ from one proposed
subdivision to another based on the particular needs of each development. Council will, by
resolution, establish the standards and requirements for such agreements and charges,
including the posting of performance bonds or letters of credit.
Objective 3.3.2.4

that appropriate road designs, speed limits and traffic control devices are used to help
ensure traffic and road safety.
Policy (d)
Development along provincial highways shall be consistent with the safety standards and
access policies established by the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure.
Policy (e)
The Rural Municipality will not be responsible for the paving of roads in all subdivisions
unless a service agreement is formed between Council and the developer.
Policy (f)
Subdivision applications requiring a permanent street or road closure, intended to correct
encroachments by development on municipal road right-of-ways, will only be supported
after a review by Council, to ensure that:
(i)
it is determined that the permanent street or road closure would not restrict or
compromise access to other sites / areas in the municipality; and

RM of Winslow Official Community Plan
3.5 AGRICULTURAL LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT
3.5.1 FINDINGS
-
Agriculture remains a strong player in the economy of the RM of Winslow. Agricultural land use
in the RM is dominated by the production of annual grain and oilseed crops. According to
statistics from the 2017 Saskatchewan Census Division Crop Production Report seeded land
within the Census Division focuses primarily on canola (36%), wheat (35%), lentils (10%), and
barley (7%).
-
Consideration should be given toward the development of policies that address the location and
development of intensive livestock operations. Such policies should reflect the roles and
responsibilities of both the province and the Municipality in managing ILO development.
-
Community pasture lands are located along the southern boundary of the RM between Kiyiu Lake
and Highway #657 and account for approximately 2500 hectares (6,178 acres) of land.
-
In terms of capability for dryland agricultural production of common field crops, 40% of the RM
is located on "prime" farmland (Classes 1 - 2 of the Canada Land Inventory). The majority of the
RM is located within Class 3 land, (Map 3 - Soils) in this class have moderately severe
limitations that restrict the range of crops or require special conservation practices.
-
Protecting prime farmland from being unnecessarily taken out of production for non-agricultural
use continues to be an important consideration for the RM of Winslow, where livelihood and the
economy is driven by agriculture.
-
Flexibility, in terms of site size for agricultural development, is needed in order to accommodate
development of intensive agriculture, small-scale farms, farm diversification, and agricultural
innovation.
-
To accommodate farmland subdivision to reflect the realities of farm debt settlement, farm
consolidation, estate settlement, natural and man-made barriers and natural vegetation patterns,
consideration should be given toward the development of appropriate and flexible policies.
-
Consideration should be given toward the development of policies to provide for the orderly
development of farm-based businesses in the municipality (e.g. seed-cleaning plants).
-
The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations provides the following statement concerning
agriculture and value-added agribusiness (which is addressed in the objectives and policies that
follow):.
o The province has an interest in supporting and promoting a sustainable and dynamic
agricultural sector that optimizes the use of agricultural land for growth opportunities and
diversification in agricultural operations and value-added agribusiness.
o The province has an interest in a strong provincial economy that helps improve the quality
of life for all Saskatchewan people.

3.5.2 OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Objective 3.5.2.1
Protection of Farm Land
To recognize the value of high-quality agricultural land for continuing productive agricultural use in order
to protect agricultural land use from negative impacts of non-agricultural use and development.
Policy (a)
The primary agricultural uses include grain farming, mixed grain/livestock operations,
farm operations and farm residences, intensive agricultural uses, agricultural related
commercial and industrial developments, community pasture land, agri-tourism and agri-
business, resource extraction, recreational uses and other tourism related businesses, and
farm or home-based businesses. The Zoning Bylaw will contain an Agriculture zoning
district to provide for these uses and compatible development.
Policy (b)
Existing farm operations shall be protected from non-agricultural land uses that may
undermine the viability and success of these operations. Where a proposed use or activity
appears to infringe or have a negative impact on farming, the municipality may disallow
such a use or activity.
Objective 3.5.2.2
Agriculture
To accommodate traditional forms of agricultural activity, land use, subdivision and development.
Policy (a)
Accommodate primary agricultural uses including grain farming, mixed grain/livestock
operations, farm operations and farm residences, intensive agricultural uses, agricultural
related commercial and industrial developments, and farm or home-based businesses. The
Zoning Bylaw will contain an Agriculture District to provide for these uses and compatible
development. The quarter section (64.75 hectares or 160 acres) is recognized as the primary
land unit for general agriculture; however, reduced areas and specific development
standards will be considered in order to accommodate the development of smaller or more
intensive forms of agriculture. Smaller parcels of land used for agriculture may be
appropriate when full quarter sections are not feasible, and is encouraged when it is deemed
to be so, due either to the nature of the development or to the nature of the environment or
setting.
22
RM of Winslow Official Community Plan
Policy (b)
Agricultural Subdivision Policy
In general, the fragmentation of agricultural holdings is not encouraged. However,
subdivision of land into parcels smaller than a quarter section for legitimate agricultural
purposes will be permitted under any of the following scenarios:
(i)
The severity of a financial crisis for a particular agricultural operation is
demonstrated, in Council's opinion, to warrant the subdivision of a smaller site to
assist debt restructuring or settlement.
(ii)
It is fragmented from the balance of the quarter section by either natural (river,
creek, coulee, etc.) or manmade (roadway, railway, etc.) barriers.
(iii)
It is intended to be consolidated under one title with adjacent land, in accordance
with The Land Titles Act, 2000, to create a more viable agricultural unit.
(iv)
The agricultural parcel created results from the subdivision of land for purposes
consistent with the objectives and policies in this plan.
(v)
It is intended to accommodate estate planning or settlement.
(vi)
It will accommodate the purchase or lease of Crown land.
(vii)
It is intended to avoid unnecessary changes to, or to work with, the natural
vegetation pattern or topography of the area.
(viii)
It will accommodate a new railway or road right-of-way or a widening of an
existing railway or road right-of-way.
(xi)
It will accommodate access by consolidating with an adjacent parcel of land.
Policy (c)
Farm Dwellings
One farm dwelling will be permitted as an accessory use to a farm operation. Additional
dwelling units, up to 2 additional, may be allowed subject to discretionary use approval,
by a resolution of Council, if accessory to a legitimate agricultural operation and if it is
intended to accommodate farm workers. The granting of a dwelling development permit
by Council for such additional farm dwelling(s) shall not be construed, in any way, as
consent or approval for future subdivision.
Policy (d)
Communal Dwellings
Communal dwellings may be allowed, subject to discretionary use approval, by resolution
of Council, as an accessory use to a farm operation. The granting of a communal
dwelling(s) permit by Council shall not be construed, in any way, as consent or approval
for future subdivision.
RM of Winslow Official Community Plan
23
Policy (e)
Farm-Based Businesses
(i)
It is recognized that farm-based businesses and on-farm employment
opportunities, including but not limited to: bed and breakfast establishments and
vacation farms, can provide a valuable contribution to the diversified economic
base of the municipality. Farm based businesses shall be listed as discretionary
uses in the Zoning Bylaw. Approvals will be based on the evaluation of individual
operations relative to specific Zoning Bylaw criteria to ensure that the agricultural
character or land value is not diminished.
(ii)
Farm based businesses that include the provision of commercial accommodation,
including but not limited to bed and breakfast establishments and vacation farms,
shall maintain minimum separation distances from existing industrial and
hazardous industrial uses as provided for in the Zoning Bylaw.
(iii)
Farm based businesses shall be restricted to a maximum of five (5) on-site, non-
seasonal employees. Any business with more than five (5) on-site, non-seasonal
employees shall be required to seek commercial or industrial zoning designation.
Objective 3.5.2.3
Agricultural and Economic Diversification

municipality and will result in increased economic diversification, agricultural innovation and agriculture-
related value-added activity in the municipality.
Policy (a)
Agricultural Related Commercial and Industrial Uses
(i)
The Zoning Bylaw will list principal agricultural related commercial and industrial
uses as discretionary uses.
(ii)
Approval for such commercial or industrial developments may be granted if their
function is related to agriculture and only after a review by Council, to ensure that:
(a)
incompatibility with other land uses will be avoided, including
consideration of proximity to urban centres, and multi-parcel country
residential subdivisions;
(b)
policies for environmental quality control will not be jeopardized,
including water and waste disposal servicing;
(c)
the design and development of the use will conform to high standards of

standards and do not override environmental concerns or create conflict between agricultural land use and
existing non-agricultural land use and development.
24
RM of Winslow Official Community Plan
Policy (a)
Intensive Livestock Operations (ILOs)
(i)
It is Council's view that development of ILOs is appropriate, provided that
unacceptable land use conflicts are not created as a result of such development. In
general, Council will support the development of intensive agricultural and
livestock operations (ILOs) unless specific locational conflicts would be created.
(ii)
Intensive livestock operations involving 100 animal units or more will be permitted
subject to the discretion of Council in accordance with specific policies contained
herein. An expansion of an operation to provide for a greater number of animal
units than the maximum number specified in the initial discretionary use approval,
or any change in an operation which alters the species of animal reared, confined
or fed in the operation, shall require a new discretionary approval.
(iii)
The Zoning Bylaw may provide for the temporary confinement of cattle on a farm
operation during winter months as part of a permitted use general mixed farm
operation.
(iv)
Using the discretionary use procedure outlined in the Zoning Bylaw, Council shall
require public notice advertisement of a proposal that will result in development
of an intensive livestock operation, or in the expansion or alteration of an intensive
livestock operation requiring a new discretionary use approval, and shall hold a
public hearing on the proposal.
(v)
Council shall require an applicant to demonstrate that the water supply is sufficient
for the development and the supply for neighbouring developments will not be
adversely affected by the proposed operation.
(vi)
Council may require an applicant to utilize manure management practices or other
technology than conventional stockpiling and spreading.
(vii)
As a condition of approval, Council may impose standards to reduce the potential
for conflict with neighbouring uses which specify:
(a)
the location of holding areas, buildings or manure storage facilities on the
site;

separation distance; and
(i)
other factors that Council deems relevant.
(j)
Council may require a greater separation from any liquid manure storage
lagoon or earthen manure storage facility involved in the operation, to
residential and other developments. A separation distance to the lagoon or
storage facility from a residence of 1.5 times the distance required as per
the Zoning Bylaw will be considered adequate.
Policy (c)
Wild Boar Operations
(i)
The keeping of wild boar and all wild boar operations within the RM shall be
prohibited.
Policy (d)
Other Intensive Agricultural Uses
(i)
Intensive agricultural uses, such as nurseries, market gardens and other forms of

3.6 RESIDENTIAL LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT
3.6.1 FINDINGS
-
Statistics Canada counted 137 dwellings during the 2016 Census within the RM of Winslow.
Residential development within the RM is a combination of farm-based residential and single
parcel acreage style country residential development.
-
With acreage style homes becoming more commonplace in rural areas, policies related to country
residential development (e.g. unique servicing needs) need to be considered, particularly with the
continued development of other types of industry. Existing country residential within the RM is
limited to single parcel development sites.
-
Consideration should be made for the development of land use policy that minimizes the costs of
country residential development - including potential and future development - to the RM to ensure
that it is undertaken in an orderly, well-planned manner.
-
The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations provides the following statement concerning
residential development (which is addressed in the objectives and policies that follow):
o The province has an interest in citizens having access to a range of housing options to meet
their needs and promote independence, security, health and dignity for individuals, and
enhancing the economic and social well-being of communities.

discretion of Council, subject to approval required by any government regulatory agency,
and subject to the following locational policies:
(i)
It is Council's view that hazardous industries have the potential to negatively affect
the general welfare of nearby residents and farm operations, relating to such factors
as decreased land values and perceived hazards. Therefore, in order to minimize
conflict between hazardous industrial uses and other development, policies for
minimum separation distances between hazardous industrial uses and other
principal land uses are listed in the Zoning Bylaw. These minimum separation
distance policies shall apply both to development, alteration or expansion of
hazardous industries and to other development proposed in the vicinity of existing
hazardous industries.
(ii)
In order to minimize land use conflict between hazardous industries and other
existing land uses, Council shall observe the separation distances as set out in the
Zoning Bylaw. Council may consider approving a lesser separation than that set
out in the Zoning Bylaw, with consideration the following factors which are not
intended as requirements for an approval but rather, to frame Council's
deliberation:

The purpose of the Zoning Bylaw is to control the use of land providing for the amenity of the area within
the jurisdiction of the Rural Municipality for the health, safety and general welfare of its inhabitants.
5.1.2 CONTENT AND OBJECTIVES
The Zoning Bylaw will implement the land use policies contained in this Official Community Plan by
prescribing and establishing zoning districts. Development standards within each district will govern the
range of uses, site sizes, setbacks, building locations, off-street parking, landscaping and so forth.
5.1.3 AMENDING THE ZONING BYLAW
Council will not pre-zone land. In other words, the rezoning of land will only be favourably considered on
the basis that a comprehensive development application has been received and approved by Council and, if
relevant, a subdivision referral letter from the Community Planning Branch has been received.
When considering applications to amend zoning regulations or standards, or requests for the rezoning of
land, Council shall consider such proposals within the context of:
(1)
The nature of the proposal and its conformance with all relevant provisions of this Official
Community Plan.
(2)
The need to foster a rational pattern of relationships among all forms of land use and to protect all
forms of land use from harmful encroachments by incompatible uses.
(3)
The need for the form of land use proposed and the supply of land currently available in the general
area capable of meeting that need.
(4)
The capability of the existing road system to service the proposed use and the adequacy of the
proposed supply of off-street parking.
(5)
The capability of existing community infrastructure to service the proposal, including water and
sewer services, parks, schools and other utilities and community services.

reserve, as a condition of subdivision approval, pursuant to Section 185 of The Planning and
Development Act, 2007 (The Act).
(2) Pursuant to The Act, Council may elect to request that an approving authority require the owner of
land that is the subject of a proposed subdivision to provide money in place of all or a portion of
land that would otherwise be required to be dedicated as municipal reserve.
(3) The RM will consult with the Province, appropriate School Divisions, and affected regional partners
regarding Municipal Reserve dedication for school purposes.
(4) The following factors shall be considered in making decisions on the provision of municipal
reserves:
(i) Smaller municipal reserve areas within new residential subdivisions should be provided for
neighbourhood parks and playgrounds.
(ii) In commercial and industrial subdivisions, cash-in-lieu of municipal reserve dedication
will be considered as the primary method of meeting the municipal reserve requirement,
unless the requirement can be transferred to an acceptable area and dedicated.
(iii) School site needs, as identified by the Sun West School Division, ensuring the creation of
municipal reserve areas large enough to be used for schools.
5.2.3 DEVELOPMENT LEVIES AND SERVICING FEES
(1)
In accordance with Section 169 of The Act, the Council may establish, by separate bylaw,
development levies for the purpose of recovering all or a part of the capital cost of providing,
altering, expanding or upgrading services and facilities associated with a proposed development
within an existing subdivided area. Such bylaw must be based on studies to establish the cost of
municipal servicing and recreational needs and on a consideration of future land use and
development and the anticipated phasing of associated public works.
(2)
In accordance with Section 172 of The Act, a Council may require a servicing agreement with the
proponent of a subdivision development. In order to provide overall direction and guidance in the
negotiation of individual agreements with developers a Council may establish, by resolution, a
schedule of development specifications and servicing fees. Such servicing specifications will
provide a consistent set of development standards for provision of services and works by developers
within a proposed subdivision development. Subdivision servicing fees contribute in whole or in
52
RM of Winslow Official Community Plan
part towards the capital costs of services within or outside the subdivision that directly or indirectly
serve the proposed subdivision.

regulation shall be taken to mean the amended or replacement statute or regulation.
