The City of Lloydminster is asking residents, landowners and stakeholders to provide feedback on a series of proposed amendments to Land Use Bylaw 05-2025, with the public comment period remaining open until Sep. 24 at 5:00 p.m.
The proposed changes are intended to improve the clarity, consistency and administration of the bylaw while reducing red tape where possible. City officials say the amendments are not designed to introduce major policy changes or alter the intent of existing land-use districts. Instead, the focus is on housekeeping updates and administrative improvements identified through a review of the bylaw.
The bylaw was adopted by council on June 9, 2025. At the time, Planning Services committed to conducting a review after six months to evaluate how the bylaw was working in practice and identify areas requiring clarification or adjustment. Since then, Planning Services has gathered feedback from users of the bylaw.
Proposed changes
Proposed amendments include correcting grammar, spelling and formatting, clarifying key terminology and administrative processes, resolving conflicting policies, introducing additional land-use categories to reflect current development trends, providing added flexibility in development regulations, updating mapping and aligning policies with current legislative requirements and best practices.
A complete list of the proposed changes is available through the City’s public referral process. Planning Services is currently collecting feedback from internal departments, external agencies and landowners before bringing recommendations forward to council.
Submit comments and concerns
Residents can review the draft bylaw online through the City’s public referral webpage. Paper copies are also available upon request at the City of Lloydminster Operations Centre at 6623 52 Street.
Comments and concerns can be submitted by email to planning@lloydminster.ca or by calling 780-874-3700. The public feedback period closes on Thursday, Sep. 24 at 5:00 p.m.
Following the legislated review period, Planning Services will present a recommendation to council. If approved, the amendments will be incorporated into the bylaw following second, third and final readings.
Council is scheduled to consider the proposed amendments during a meeting on Oct. 5 at 1:00 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall. The meeting will also be available through the city’s livestream service.
