Lloydminster Intermunicipal Development Plan
The purpose of the IDP is to establish a regional framework for attracting economic opportunities and managing land use, subdivision and development in the IDP area. The City and County want to improve opportunities to secure a long-term economic base, establish consistency in land development, and to facilitate inter-municipal communication in land development matters. Further, the municipalities want to be “development ready” and future-oriented in their planning efforts and thus acquire an edge over other municipalities in attracting additional economic activity.
This Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) is divided into four sections:
- an introduction containing background information,
- a detailed explanation of the intent of the IDP concept,
- a set of specific policies that will guide the Approving Authorities in their decisions
- a set of implementation statements and directives that will guide the two municipalities in terms of process and policy content.
The Appendices contain support information that is of benefit to applicants for development.
