a minimum of 100 metres (328 feet) from any spring or water well and 30 metres (99 feet) from any open body of water. The Development Officer may consider a variance to the setback based upon circumstances peculiar to a particular application.

4. “Short-term” Storage means, in relation to manure, the

storage of manure in a manure storage facility for a period not exceeding six (6) consecutive months.

5. If there is a concern with the environmental impact of an

agricultural intensive use (whether new or expanded), the development permit application will be referred for comment to Alberta Environmental Protection, the Regional Health Authority and Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development, who will be given 30 days to respond with their comments unless a longer period is agreed to by the Municipality.

6. It will be the responsibility of the owner and operator of any

agricultural intensive use to ensure that all manure storage facilities are designed and constructed to avoid contamination of groundwater, prevent contaminated surface water from leaving the property, and reduce odour nuisance.

7. The owner and operator of an intensive livestock operation shall be required to satisfy the approving authority that sufficient land is available for the use of the manure produced by the operation.

8. In no circumstances shall a new or expanded agricultural

intensive use be permitted within 122m (400 ft.) from a water course or water body which is not entirely surrounded by the lot or lots on which the operation is located, unless suitable containment facilities are constructed to the satisfaction of the Development Officer.

9. All agricultural intensive use applications must comply with all

applicable provisions of the Code of Practice.

10. Seasonal feeding or wintering livestock between November 1 and May 31 are to be considered under the applicable agricultural intensive use requirements.

11. The Development Officer may impose more restrictive

conditions on approval of an application for a development permit for an intensive agricultural operation than those set out above.

10.13.3 CONFINEMENT OF ANIMALS

The owner and occupier of a lot or lots upon which livestock is kept is responsible for confinement of the livestock within boundaries of the lot or lots.

10.14.0 NON-CONFORMING USES AND NON-CONFORMING BUILDINGS 10.14.1 Section 616(q) and (r) of the Municipal Government Act define

“non-conforming building” and “non-conforming use” respectively. Section 643 of the Municipal Government Act regulates and controls non-conforming uses and non-conforming buildings. For convenience, the texts of Section 616(q) and (r) and Section 643 are reproduced below.

a. 616(q) “non-conforming building” means a building

i. that is lawfully constructed or lawfully under construction at the date a land use bylaw affected the building or the land on which the building is situated becomes effective, and

ii. that on the date the land use bylaw becomes effective does not, or when constructed will not, comply with the land use bylaw;

ii. that on the date the land use bylaw becomes effective does not, or in the case of a building under construction will not, comply with the land use bylaw.

c. 643(1) if a development permit has been issued on or before

the day on which a land use bylaw or land use amendment bylaw comes into force in a municipality and the bylaw would make the development in respect of which the permit was issued a non-conforming use or non-conforming building, the development permit continues in effect in spite of the coming into force of the bylaw.

643(2) a non-conforming use of land or a building may be continued but if that use is discontinued for a period of 6 consecutive months or more, any future use of the land or building must conform with the land use bylaw then in effect. 643(3) a non-conforming use of part of a building may be extended throughout the building but the building, whether or not it is a non-conforming building, may not be enlarged or added to and no structural alterations may be made to it or in it. 643(4) a non-conforming use of part of a lot may not be extended or transferred in whole or in part to any other part of the lot and no additional buildings may be constructed on the lot while the non-conforming use continues. 643(5) a non-conforming building may continue to be used but the building may not be enlarged, added to, rebuilt or structurally altered except: i. to make it a conforming building; ii. for routine maintenance of the building, if the development

authority considers it necessary; or iii. in accordance with a land use bylaw that provides minor

variance powers to the development authority for the purpose of this section.

1/29/2014 LUB / Page 63

10.19.0 BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS 10.19.1 A land use redesignation is not required when a subdivision is

carried out solely for the purpose of adjusting the boundaries of an existing lot such that no additional lots are created and the lot boundaries do not contravene the yard setback limits or minimum or maximum sizes for the district as set forth in this Bylaw.

The portion of a lot including a road plan or railway plan that has

been consolidated by a boundary adjustment or other means acceptable to Land Titles, with the title to another lot will automatically reflect the district designation of the lot with which it has been consolidated.

10.20.0 ROAD ALLOWANCES, ROAD PLANS, OR RAILWAY PLANS All lands forming part of a road allowance, road plan or railway plan

shall be designated Agricultural District. Upon the issuance of a separate certificate of title for all or a portion of the road allowance, road plan or railway plan the lands shall continue to be designated Agricultural District unless a bylaw is passed changing such designation.

10.21.0 TELECOMMUNICATION TOWERS Industry Canada has full authority over telecommunication towers

and will ensure that land use authority consultation has been taken into consideration before issuing an authorization for significant antenna structures.

Any tower proposed to be located within the Municipal District of

Foothills will be required to comply with all aspects of the policies adopted by Council, attached as Appendix B to the Land Use Bylaw. Council will either show its support or non-support towards the proposed location based on the required information.

10.22.0 CONFINED FEEDING OPERATIONS The Natural Resources Conservation Board has full authority over

Confined Feeding Operations (CFO) and manure storage facilities. Any confined Feeding Operation (CFO) or Manure Storage Facility

10.23.0 LOT GRADING AND DRAINAGE Lands being graded to accommodate such things as landscaping,

land contouring, borrow pits (that does not create a dugout), on site access roads, the erection of buildings, etc, that in any way changes the natural drainage of the property must apply for and receive a development permit approval before such work is permitted to be carried out, provided that Lot Grading is a use that falls under either the Permitted or Discretionary uses of the appropriate Land Use District.

It should be noted that materials leaving the site, defined under

Natural Resources, require additional permits to be obtained. The only exception to this section would be if there was a site

grading or lot grading plan already in place from an existing approved subdivision or development permit. If this is the case, all work must be carried out and conform to that approved plan.

In considering whether to approve a site or lot grading plan, the

approving authority may have additional due regard for: a. any statutory plans; b. a statement of the effect on water courses and drainage

patterns; c. any geotechnical reports; d. conservation of water courses; e. ensuring that any alteration does not effect the ingress or

egress of water flow from a property, nor create potential drainage effects either positive or negative, on other properties or environmentally significant areas

APPENDIX A CONFINED FEEDING OPERATION DEFINITION: “Confined Feeding Operation (CFO) is defined in the Agricultural Operation Practices Act (AOPA) as “an activity on land that is fenced or enclosed, or within buildings where livestock are confined for the purpose of growing, sustaining, finishing, or breeding by means other than grazing, but does not include seasonal feeding and bedding sites”. At the time of adoption of this policy, a CFO will require either registrations or approvals through the Natural Resources Conservation Board (NRCB). Readers are advised to contact the NRCB for up-to-date information. Although the NRCB is the approving authority in respect of CFO that are not included in the license, permit or approval, or other authorization granted by the NRCB that will fall under the Municipal approval process. These are dealt with below. PROCEDURE FOR THE APPLICANT: - The applicant must obtain the necessary license, permit, approval, or other

authorization granted by the NRCB. - The applicant must then apply for a Development Permit for a “development

incidental or ancillary to a CFO”, which is a permitted use in the Agricultural District. The applicant will be required to submit the following information with the Development Permit application:

Development Permit fees (please see the Development Officer for the amount);

Site plan indicating access locations to and from the lot, including roads and highways to be used;

A statement regarding the roads and highway to be used and dust control measure to be implemented;

A statement regarding the amount of traffic generated on a daily or monthly basis on those roads or hauling routes, whichever most accurately reflects the facts.

- The Development Permit and supporting information is circulated by the

Development Officer to the necessary referral agencies and internal departments (i.e., Public Works, Council, and Alberta Transportation).

- The Development Officer makes an approved decision on the file and a letter

is circulated to landowners within a half mile. The decision is based on a “permitted use” and, therefore, does not allow the right of appeal.

- Upon the applicant’s completion of the conditions of approval, the file is

closed.

APPENDIX B TELECOMMUNICATION TOWERS POLICIES & PROCEDURE ON TELECOMMUNICATION TOWERS: (Federally Regulated only, those that do not fall under federal jurisdiction must go through the necessary applications of the M.D. of Foothills No. 31). VISION STATEMENT: The Municipal District of Foothills (hereafter known as “the Municipality”), by way of the policies listed, will take proactive steps to limit the number of towers within the Municipality by encouraging carries towards co-utilization. It is important to the Council of the Municipality to have telecommunication towers placed in an area that will have the least amount of opposition to and visual impact upon nearby residents. POLICIES: Location New telecommunication towers should be encouraged to locate in the areas

zoned as Agriculture District and Industrial District. All equipment shelters and tower locations must meet the Municipality’s

setback distances to roads and property lines. Co-Location All Carriers requesting a new telecommunication tower (freestanding antenna

structure) will be required to identify any other such structure within a 5-mile radius of the proposed site location. Each request should also provide documentary evidence that co-location of the existing structures within that 5-mile radius is not a viable alternative to a second structure.

The co-location of additional carriers is preferred and supported by this

Municipality. Each new tower request should allow for co-utilization. Required are letters from all four currently registered telecommunication carriers (Rogers AT&T, Telus Moblity, Microcell Connextions and Bell Mobility) indicating that they can or cannot co-locate on this tower. Reasons for not co-locating will be required.

Future requests for towers within the vicinity of the proposed tower will not be

supported by the Municipality if that Carrier chooses not to co-locate when asked. Sufficient reasons and explanations will need to be submitted to support another tower in that area.

Public Consultation

Page 68: MUNICIPAL DISTRICT OF FOOTHILLS NO. 31 LAND USE BYLAW ...€¦ · MUNICIPAL DISTRICT OF FOOTHILLS NO. 31 LAND USE BYLAW OFFICE CONSOLIDATION Note: Land Use Bylaw No. 1/99 was adopted

1/29/2014 LUB / Page 67

The carriers will be responsible for contacting area landowners within a one-

mile area and for holding a public meeting prior to a submission to the Municipality. The public consultation is intended to provide an opportunity for local community concerns to be addressed when a telecommunication tower is proposed. One staff member of the Municipality and the Councillor for the area, or an alternative, will also attend this meeting.

The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act restricts the

Municipality from providing the Carriers with landowner information. Therefore, the Municipality will be responsible for sending the mailout to those area residents within one mile, at the Carrier’s cost. The fees for each mailout would depend on the number of people to be contacted for each area. With each mailout, the Carrier will be responsible to submit a letter which will give notification of the location of the tower, physical details of the tower, the time and location of the public meeting, and a contact name and phone number of someone employed by the Carrier who can answer questions regarding this proposal. The mailout should be sent 20 days prior to the public meeting and the Carriers should allow an extra 5 days to give the Municipality reasonable time to get the notices out.

From the public meeting, the Carriers will be responsible to provide the

Municipality with a copy of the agenda and the minutes indicating the topics discussed, additional concerns raised with resolutions, and any outstanding issues that the Carriers and/or Landowners could not resolve. After the Public Consultation has been held, the Carrier, if it wishes to proceed, shall submit its formal proposal to the Municipality.

Design Standards Where Transport Canada requires that a telecommunication tower be lighted,

the following steps are encouraged to minimize visual impacts: 1. the lighting of equipment structures and any other facilities on site should

be shielded from adjacent properties where possible without interfering with the requirements of Transport Canada;

2. all lighting should be a minimum number of low intensity white lights; and 3. the strobe interval should be the maximum allowable by Transport

Canada, and the strobe lights should only be used if absolutely necessary.

Municipality Consultation & Decision The Carriers will submit their formal proposal to the Development Officer of

the Municipality. The Development Officer will present the proposal to Council and will provide his/her position of support or non-support towards the formal proposal.

1/29/2014 LUB / Page 68

The Municipality will provide its position to the Carriers within a 30-day period

of receiving the proposal. This decision will also be forwarded to Industry Canada by the Development Officer.
