DC Bylaw Letter Cliff Wallis
DC Bylaw Letter Cliff Wallis, 2013 (click here for full letter)
Prepared by Cliff Wallis subsequent to passing of the DC Land Use Bylaw, Mar, 2014
“In my professional opinion, Bylaw 1657 and the Badlands Motorsports Resort Area Structure Plan promote the degradation of a significant natural environment, one identified in county and provincial documents as environmentally significant. The redesignation in Bylaw 1657 to facilitate development of a motorsports resort is not consistent with the stated goal of Alberta’s Land Use Policies as outlined in my November 21, 2013 report. Bylaw 1657 and the proposed Badlands Motorsports Resort Area Structure Plan are also not consistent with the Kneehill County Municipal Development Plan, specifically related to guidance and policies dealing with Environmentally Significant Areas and valleys.”
