A situation has arisen that requires amendments to Riverport’s Secondary Planning Strategy (SPS) and Land Use Bylaw (LUB). The amendments include sections related to development regulations in Environmentally Sensitive (ES) zones as well as Accessory Structures.

Proposed amendments include changing the process for approving development in and around ES zones to align with Hebbville’s policy for developing near wetlands and aligning the Accessory Uses policy in Riverport’s SPS with the 'Miscellaneous Minor Accessory Structure' policies in the Municipality's other SPS.

    On Tuesday December 12, 2023, Council will discuss the recommendation of the Planning Advisory Committee related to amendments to Riverport & District's Land Use Bylaw pertaining to regulating development near wetlands and the 'Accessory Uses' policy. If Council wishes to do so, it may also conduct First Reading. The meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. and be held in Council Chambers at the Municipal Office (10 Allee Champlain Drive, Cookville).

    The amendments include rezoning portions of two properties that are currently zoned Environmentally Sensitive (ES) to the adjacent Rural Three (RU-3) zone and repealing and replacing section 4.13 'Accessory Uses' policy to be consistent with similar sections titled 'Miscellaneous Minor Accessory Structures' in the Land Use Bylaws of the Municipality's other planned areas.

    Council meetings are open to the public and any interested residents are encouraged to attend to learn more about the proposed amendments. To view Council's agenda for December 12, 2023, click here. The Riverport amendment documents can be found under section 10.3.
