Land Use Bylaw Update
The City of St. Albert is Updating the Land Use Bylaw (LUB).
The LUB is a document that is adopted by City Council that manages development within the city of St. Albert limits. The LUB covers a wide range of development regulations, including the following:
- Establishing the development permit process and the process for redistricting (rezoning) and LUB text amendments.
- Regulates the size and use of land and buildings.
- Classifies land use districts (zones) and determines minimum development standards for each of these districts.
- Determines the appropriate permitted and discretionary uses for each land use district.
Current Bylaw
The current Land Use Bylaw 9/2005 was approved in 2005 and would benefit from an update. Although amendments to the LUB have been enacted since, evolving development trends illustrate the need for more flexibility and responsive development regulations.
Strategic Priorities
The St. Albert Strategic Plan includes five strategic priorities. Strategic Priority #1 is Economic Prosperity, which includes supporting plans and agreements that foster development in St. Albert, including mature neighbourhoods, and build affordability in all new development. This strategy includes an update to the Land Use Bylaw.
Additionally, the City of St. Albert Corporate Business Plan 2022-2025 Strategic Priority One: Economic Prosperity directs administration to complete the update of the Land Use Bylaw to modernize and align the LUB with the new Municipal Development Plan.
With these priorities in mind, the goals for this project include the following:
- Aligning the LUB with Flourish, the City's Municipal Development Plan.
- Updating and modernization of the document.
- Creating an accessible and web-friendly LUB.

It guides day-to-day review planning and development activities. The last major update to the City’s LUB was in 2005. Since then, the document has been revised and amended in response to emerging issues.
The City now wants to update the LUB to reflect the vision and goals set out in Flourish, the City’s Municipal Development Plan and to create a document that reflects evolving development trends and the need for more flexible and responsive development regulations.
