Planning and Development Fee Bylaw Public Notice

PUBLIC NOTICE

RM of Laird No. 404 Public Notice – Planning and Development Fee Bylaw Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality (RM) of Laird No. 404 intends to adopt a Planning and Development Fee Bylaw under section 51 of The Planning and Development Act, 2007.

INTENT: The bylaw is intended to allow the RM to charge cost-recovery fees related to the review and processing of development-related matters.

Rationale for the fees will accompany the proposed bylaw. Any previously adopted planning and development fees would be repealed.

REASON: The RM wishes to avail itself of the legislated cost-recovery tool such that development review costs are more appropriately borne by development proponents, thereby minimizing costs for general ratepayers.

Draft copies of the proposed bylaw are available from the RM office (hard copy at cost). The RM office is located at 3025 Central Avenue, Waldheim, SK S0K 4R0. A draft copy
