Village of Hussar Land Use Bylaw Review
The Village of Hussar is working with Palliser Regional Municipal Services (PRMS) to update the Village’s Land Use Bylaw (LUB) in collaboration with the Village Council and its residents. The new LUB will replace the current version of the Hussar 543-22 Village of Hussar Land Use Bylaw with an entirely new bylaw.
What is a LUB?
A Land Use Bylaw directs the use and development of lands and buildings. By establishing land use districts (zoning), the LUB regulates the types of activities and buildings that can occur on any specific property. It also contains regulations, such as building height, maximum parcel coverage and building setbacks from property lines. The LUB is the tool that the long-term vision and goals of the Hussar (531 21) Municipal Development Plan Bylaw are implemented on a day-to-day basis. The purpose of the LUB is to enable development, while minimizing the potential impacts on adjacent neighbours.

How will the new Land Use Bylaw be approved?
