Lethbridge County taking public feedback over Residential Development

Lethbridge County is planning to update its Residential Land Use Strategy and is looking for public feedback to assist in its development for Infrastructure capacity, agriculture protection and sustainable development goals.

The survey will ask the following questions:

• What should the County prioritize when planning future residential growth?
• Are there current restrictions on residential development you’d like to see changed?
• What kinds of development should we support—more acreages, denser hamlet growth, country residential communities?
• What kinds of recreational amenities do you want to see in our hamlets and subdivisions?

Kaylyn Franklin, Manager of Planning and Development said in a statement, “To ensure residential growth is managed responsibly, the Residential Land Use Strategy will be a fundamental document that shapes how residential development looks in the future. Residents, businesses, and other key stakeholders will be at the centre of the process – your insights and experiences matter and we hope you’ll take a few minutes to share your ideas with us.”

The County claims they are Alberta’s most productive agricultural economy. Over 10,000 residents live in rural and non-urban areas within the county.
