Airdrie Land Use Bylaw Public Info Session & Open House October 29th 2015
2
What is a Land Use Bylaw Required by the Municipal Government Act. Sets development rights and regulates the uses of land and buildings within the City. Separates the City into zones (districts) each allowing appropriate land uses and densities. Establishes standards and processes that the City uses to regulate development.
3
Why do we regulate? The Land Use Bylaw sets reasonable expectations for what can happen in your community. Sets standards for types and quality of development. Controls land use, scale, and intensity land uses. Protects against incompatible development and impacts from one use/owner on another.

. Mixed Use Districts Urban, street-oriented development forms that provide a mix of both residential and commercial (retail and service) uses. Neighbourhood & Community Scaled Districts Downtown Core Mixed Use District Street oriented, high coverage, maximum front yard setback. Requires a Master Site Plan that addresses compatibility, scale of development, access and orientation, and any interface conditions. Allows development to earn additional density subject to good planning, location, and site design.
13
. Commercial & Industrial Districts We intended to provide a range of commercial and industrial districts, allowing each district its own focus and ensuring that we provide opportunities for various types of business development. Neighbourhood, Community, & Regional Commercial Service Commercial & Mixed Business/Employment Districts Office Park District Standard Industrial Park and Heavy Industrial Districts Large commercial sites must show that they integrate well with surrounding land uses, and provide good access for vehicles, transit, and pedestrian traffic. Landscaping regulations are more scaled-back than the current requirements (10% of lot area). New LUB regulations specifically address impacts, interface, and sensitive uses.
