Proposed changes to Beaumont’s planning and development are guided by the Municipal Development Plan (MDP), a key policy plan that sets the long-term vision for land use, as required by the province.
Below are recent applications for proposed development permits (needed for new construction, renovations and changes to how a building is being used).
Below are recent proposed changes to the City’s Municipal Development Plan, Area Structure Plans and Neighbourhood Structure Plans.
Beaumont’s land is divided into different land use districts, each with its own land use regulations as outlined in the Land Use Bylaw. These regulations can be modified through a text amendment to the bylaw.
Text amendments can be initiated by the City or requested by an applicant. Before changes are made, the City collects feedback and concerns from the community. Public hearings are held to discuss proposed changes.
Redistricting involves amending the Land Use Bylaw to change the land use district of a specific property or area. These applications are typically initiated by an applicant, rather than being a City-led initiative.
The City collects feedback and concerns from the community, before changes are made. A public hearing is held to discuss proposed changes.
Subdivision is the process of dividing land into smaller parcels. Below are the recent subdivision applications.
For questions or general feedback, please contact the person listed in the Notification Letter and include the notice (file reference number) you’re responding to, as well as your name, address and contact information.
