Three Council Direction Reports will be coming to Council in November and December. The first meeting is this Tuesday, November 25, 2025 at 1pm. You can read the report in the Council agenda package agenda here: https://modl.ca/index.php?option=com_docman&view=download...
This first Council Direction Report provides an overview of several key topics that generated notable public feedback, either contentious or strongly supported, during the engagement period. Each section includes an overview of the issue, a summary of public, stakeholder, and Council feedback (from previous discussions), and policy direction options for Council’s consideration.
This report covers the following topics:
- Livestock Operations
- Agricultural Land Protection
- Home-Based Businesses
- Recreational Vehicles
- Campgrounds and RV Parks
- Inland Watercourses
- Inland Wetlands
In the coming weeks, two additional Council workshops will also be held, discussing other topics that focus on zoning and other land-use related issues. The purpose of these reports is to support informed decision-making by identifying where policy adjustments may be warranted before preparing Draft 2 of the MPS and LUB.
Staff have outlined several options for each topic from which Council may provide direction to guide the preparation of Draft 2, anticipated for release in February 2026. This will be followed by a final round of public information sessions prior to adoption and submission to the province for final approval.
