This project is now complete. If you have questions or comments, please contact the Municipality of the District of Yarmouth.

The Municipality of the District of Yarmouth Plan Review is a project to review and update the Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) and Land Use Bylaw (LUB). An MPS is the primary planning document for the Municipality which establishes the vision, goals and policies for growth and development. The LUB is a companion document that sets out the various rules and regulations that have to do with development activities. Together, the MPS and LUB shape our communities by determining what types of development can happen where.

The new Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw represent an exciting opportunity to renew and reinforce the vision for the Municipality, to make the Municipality’s role in land use regulation easier, and to ensure planning policy better serves residents and businesses of MODY. Policy in the new planning documents will consider topics such as:

• Appropriate rules and approaches for the character of communities across the municipality

• Local environment

• Economic development

• Diversity of housing

• As well as various other topics
