The County of Stettler has found that the current Buffalo Lake South Shore Intermunicipal Development Plan (BLSSIDP) does not accommodate types of development that the County is prepared to see in the area. The approach taken for development density in the current plan does not adequately account for recreational forms of development like RV parks and campground resorts.
Agreement to change the current plan with members of the BLSSIDP has not been achieved; therefore, the County is in the process of mediating their withdrawal from the Buffalo Lake South Shore Intermunicipal Development Plan.
In withdrawing from the current Plan, the County recognizes the need to have a replacement plan to guide the future development of the area in a manner that satisfies the requirements of the larger, Buffalo Lake Intermunicipal Development Plan. The Draft ASP fulfils this role.
A Draft South Shore Area Structure Plan is available for public review until May 17, 2021 and we wish to hear your thoughts.
