Bylaw 2025-07 - Land Use Bylaw Amendments
What is Bylaw 2025-07?: Bylaw 2025-07 is a series of targeted amendments to the Town’s
Land Use Bylaw 2022-12, to address barriers to and encourage housing development in
Westlock. The amendments were developed in collaboration with local and prospective
builders, developers, and other representatives from the real estate and development
industries.
Whats changing?: The proposed amendments include changes to:
• How dwelling types are defined (use classes) and the types of dwellings desired in each
Residential Land Use District.
• The density maximums (units per parcel) and lot widths in identified Districts.
• Introduction of a new Land Use District (R1-B), intended to be used in new
neighbourhoods to offer a diversity of lot widths & housing types.
• New infill development provisions to mitigate the potential impact of new development
on established neighbourhoods.
• Parking requirements to ensure adequate on-site parking is provided.
• Site-specific redistrictings to address non-conforming residential properties to retain
existing housing stock.
A Public Hearing will be held to provide an opportunity for members of the public to
