Changes Coming to Land Use Bylaw to Accommodate Patios
Posted on:
The Town of Sylvan Lake is amending the Land Use Bylaw in an effort to work closer with local businesses to react quickly to changes imposed as a result of COVID-19 regulations, specifically to outdoor patios. This is for private property only and not for patios expanded into the public roadway.
What’s Changing?
- The Town is implementing an expedited approval process for commercial patios
- Development permit fees for the purposes of building a patio, due to COVID-19 health measures, are being waived
- The Town’s portion of building permit fees (totalling $150 per application) for the purposes of building a patio, due to COVID-19 health measures, are being waived
A public hearing date for the bylaw is set for Wednesday April 28, 2021 at Council Chambers of the Municipal Government Building.
