  • Calgary Metropolitan Region Board – Growth Plan
    CALGARY METROPOLITAN REGION BOARD – GROWTH PLAN The supermajority voting structure of the CMRB grants control over planning and growth in rural municipalities by urban municipalities. Regardless of the mandate of the Board as noted in the CRMB regulation 3(1)(a), the Board has not strived towards consensus on any decision associated with the Growth Plan. The Board has dismissed the rural municipality’s concerns and objections and the urban municipalities have voted as a block against the rural ones, thereby controlling all decisions. Foothills County Council fundamentally disagrees with the guidance and policies within Section 3.1. of Growth Plan. This section of the Growth Plan generates significant red tape, limits economic opportunities in rural municipalities and promotes municipal conflict. These policies demand a significant amount of additional work be undertaken that Foothills feels will have no benefit to our ratepayers and will not create better outcomes for the region. The growth plan creates uncertainty in the development industry by requiring that all Statutory Plans meet the requirements of the Growth Plan prior to Ministerial approval. The Growth Plan gives significant power to an entirely new level of government with primarily urban interests to control development in rural Alberta. WHEREAS the Regional Growth Plan directs growth primarily to urban municipalities and restricts rural growth except in limited areas under the supervision of urban neighbours and the oversight of the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board; and WHEREAS

  • Annexation from the M.D. of Foothills Proposed by Okotoks What Is Annexation?
    Annexation from the M.D. of Foothills Proposed by Okotoks What is Annexation? • Annexation is the incorporation of territory into the domain of a municipality - generally from another municipality. • Municipalities in Alberta can initiate annexation proceedings, subject to the conditions contained in Part 4, Division 6 of the Municipal Government Act. • Pursuant to Section 114 of the MGA, a municipality may only annex land that is contiguous with the boundaries of the municipality. Annexation Does Not…. • Change the ownership of the land – you will continue to own your property and have all the same rights as before; • Automatically change the “zoning” of the land - you will be able to continue to use your land in the same manner as you have in the past; • Necessarily lead to immediate development - the timing of the development of annexed land will depend on a number of factors such as the transportation network, ease of servicing and the desires of the land owner; or • Mean immediate access to urban services such as water, waste water or garbage pick-up – these services will generally only become available as comprehensive development occurs.

  • Foothills County
    The foothills of Foothills County. Foothills County Foothills County is the rural municipality that represents rural and hamlet residents in a 3,600-km area excluding the urban municipalities of Okotoks, High River, Black Diamond, Turner Valley and the Farm near Millarville. Village of Longview. From 1954 until 2018, it was known as the Municipal District of Foothills. The MD of Foothills formed following the merger of several small individual municipal districts that had been established as early as the late 1880s. These included the MD of Sheep Creek near Okotoks, MD of Dinton, MD of Blackie and MD of Marquis to the east, MD of Highwood near High River, MD of Stockland near Millarville, and MD of Turner Valley, among others. Discussions to amalgamate all into one began in 1953 and the new district was temporarily called ‘Coterminous Boundaries Area No. 189’. It was given the name ‘Municipal District of Sheep River No. 31’ by Alberta Municipal Affairs on Jan. 1, 1954. On March 2, 1954 elections for this large, new district were held. One of the first orders of business was to change the name and councillors voted unanimously to change the name to Municipal District of Foothills No. 31. It remained that name for six decades. In 2014, MD council polled residents regarding a name change with results split down the middle — 2,011 for Foothills County and 2,014 wanting MD of Foothills. Council opted to stay the course. In 2018, council voted to rename it Foothills County as it felt ‘county’ was more recognizable as a rural municipality.
