Land Use Bylaw 415-08 April 2008 (consolidated to Bylaw 533-23, February 2023)

The Land Use Bylaw can be described as the “rule book” for development within the Village of Stirling. It regulates the development of land and buildings on a site-specific basis, based on the policy directions set by the MDP and IDP. The LUB defines what constitutes development (or land use); divides up the municipality into land use districts and lists the land uses allowed in each district. It also separates all the land uses enabled in each district into permitted and discretionary uses; and sets the development standards (e.g., size of land and buildings, building heights, setbacks and site coverage) for each land use district. The LUB also outlines the requirements for a development permit application and timelines for decision; the process for appealing a development permit decision; and the process for amending the Land Use Bylaw.
