Sturgeon County Council requests public input on proposed Bylaw 1662/24, Site Grading Amendments 2025. Sturgeon County is proposing the following amendments to the Land Use Bylaw: • Enhance regulations for commercial and industrial site grading and make commercial and industrial site grading a permitted use. • Clarify regulations regarding drainage, wetlands, road use and stockpiling of materials. • Regulate import and types of fill material for site grading. • Add flexibility to residential lot grading if a development won’t affect drainage. A bylaw is needed to amend existing bylaws, and a public hearing must be held. View the proposed bylaw at sturgeoncounty.ca/hearing-1662 Questions? Contact us!
