OUR COMMUNITY The Summer Village of West Cove is home to permanent and seasonal residents in a recreational lakeside setting. It is located approximately 80 km northwest of Edmonton on the south shores of Lac Ste. Anne, as shown on Figure 1. West Cove has a total land area of 1.02 square kilometres. Incorporated on January 1, 1963, West Cove is a diverse community. Its residents enjoy the rural outdoor environment and all that it has to offer. Much of the activity centres around the lake. Residents enjoy boating, canoeing, waterskiing and fishing during the summer months. In the winter there is snowmobiling, skating and cross‐country skiing. The Summer Village of West Cove is also part of the Lac Ste. Anne Multi‐use Trail Committee. The residents enjoy riding and walking these trails on a year‐round basis. Since the early 1900s, Alberta's lakeshore property has been purchased for cottage use with public beaches being developed along road and rail routes accessible from larger urban centres. OUR VISION Our 20 Year Vision is: The Summer Village of West Cove continues to be a quiet and safe place to live and recreate, remains focused on environmental stewardship, and provides opportunities for residential growth in a controlled and sustainable manner, while retaining its small village character.

Using West Cove’s Average Annual Growth Rate of 2.5% and projecting it out to 2042 would result in an increase from 149 to 276 residents. There are some 214 private dwellings in West Cove according to Statistics Canada and it is likely that the existing housing stock would absorb any increase in population over the planning horizon of the MDP. As such, for the purposes of policy development, population growth is assumed to be of negligible affect. Figure 2 – Population Growth in West Cove Source: Alberta Municipal Affairs. Summer Village of West Cove 3 DRAFT Municipal Development Plan SECTION TWO Planning Framework 2 This Section introduces the purpose, scope and limitations of the MDP. PURPOSE & SCOPE A Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is a statutory document required by the Province of Alberta and adopted pursuant to the Municipal Government Act (MGA).

MDPs are prepared and adopted in accordance with the requirements of Section 632 of the MGA, which provides the parameters on MDP content: 632(3) A municipal development plan (a) must address (i) the future land use within the municipality, (ii) the manner of and the proposals for future development in the municipality, (iii) the co‐ordination of land use, future growth patterns and other infrastructure with adjacent municipalities if there is no intermunicipal development plan with respect to those matters in those municipalities, (iv) the provision of the required transportation systems either generally or specifically within the municipality and in relation to adjacent municipalities, and (v) the provision of municipal services and facilities either generally or specifically, (b) may address (i) proposals for the financing and programming of municipal infrastructure, (ii) the co‐ordination of municipal programs relating to the physical, social and economic development of the municipality, (iii) environmental matters within the municipality, (iv) the financial resources of the municipality, (v) the economic development of the municipality, and (vi) any other matter relating to the physical, social or economic development of the municipality, Summer Village of West Cove 4 DRAFT Municipal Development Plan (c) may contain statements regarding the municipality’s development constraints, including the results of any development studies and impact analysis, and goals, objectives, targets, planning policies and corporate strategies, (d) must contain policies compatible with the subdivision and development regulations to provide guidance on the type and location of land uses adjacent to sour gas facilities, (e) must contain policies respecting the provision of municipal, school or municipal and school reserves, including but not limited to the need for, amount of and allocation of those reserves and the identification of school requirements in consultation with affected school boards, (f) must contain policies respecting the protection of agricultural operations, and (g) may contain policies respecting the provision of conservation reserve in accordance with section 664.2(1)(a) to (d).
