Project History

The City of Lloydminster is currently in the final stages of updating the Land Use Bylaw (LUB 05-2016). Mandated by the Municipal Government Act (MGA), a LUB establishes the set of regulations that guide the look, feel and shape of the city while supporting growth, economic development, and land use for the community as a whole.

With the current LUB being established in 2016  (LUB 05-2016), the City has identified the need to create an updated bylaw with clear, consistent regulations which are aligned with the Municipal Development Plan, reduce red tape, and consider new land development needs.

Planning Services has been reviewing LUB 2016 since 2018 and formally began updating the LUB in September 2023 after a comprehensive review and update of the LUB was directed by City Council at the August 21, 2023 Regular Session of City Council (Motion No. 305-2023).

In the summer of 2024, Planning Services bought forward a draft version of the LUB for approval. This proposed LUB was presented at the August 12, 2024 GPC Meeting, underwent first reading at the September 9, 2024 Regular City Council Meeting and was the subject of a public hearing on October 7, 2024. Following the public hearing, a variety of changes were made to the draft bylaw, view these adjustments.

At the public hearing the proposed LUB was not approved by Council; Planning Services was directed to make additional changes.
