ABOUT THE PROJECT
In December 2022 and January 2023, we gathered input from residents and landowners about land use for rural wedding and agricultural event facilities.
Leduc County is currently reviewing the Land Use Bylaw and is considering making amendments with respect to rural wedding and agricultural event facilities.
This land use is defined within Part 11 of the Land Use Bylaw as follows:
An indoor facility, accessory and incidental to the primary use that provides for an alternative of venue for events within a traditional rural setting, and is not intended to locate development that would be better located within defined business and commercial areas. Any use and/or development considered under this definition shall be designed to be agriculturally harmonious by way of design, appearance, scale and form and shall not detract from the rural and agricultural context of the site or its surroundings.
Uses may include, but are not limited to: weddings, meetings, seminars, farmers markets and trade fairs.
This is listed as a discretionary use within the AG – Agricultural and AG/CR TR – Agricultural/Country Residential Transitional land use districts.
Within these two districts, the County is considering how these facilities are regulated, what amendments may be necessary to address concerns related to land-use compatibility with surrounding agricultural areas, and the future of such facilities in Leduc County.
But first, we wanted feedback from County residents and landowners on rural wedding and agricultural event facilities.
We gathered general comments from the public until Friday, Jan. 20, 2023. Thank you to everyone who participated.
