Redistricting
Redistricting is a type of Land Use Bylaw (LUB) amendment that changes the land use district assigned to a parcel of land. The terms district, zone, and designation are often used interchangeably across municipalities; however, in Parkland County, the term district is used. If a property owner wishes to pursue a use, subdivision, or development that is not supported by the property's current land use district, they may need to submit a redistricting application.
In addition to redistricting, Land Use Bylaw amendments may include changes to bylaw text, definitions, development regulations, overlays, or other provisions of the Land Use Bylaw.
Council is the approval authority for redistricting and other Land Use Bylaw amendments. This is because any amendment to the Land Use Bylaw requires a bylaw amendment, and only Council has the authority to pass or refuse bylaws. Before making a decision, Council holds a public hearing to provide an opportunity for the public to share their views and ensure that all relevant information is considered.
