This confidential survey is being conducted on behalf of the Village of Ryley as the village begins to create a new plan for its future.
Draw Prize: Though this survey is anonymous, there is space at the end to provide your name and contact information.

Deadline: All surveys must be returned to the village office by December 1.
The Government of Alberta has informed all municipalities that they need to have a Municipal Development Plan (MDP) in place. This is new for the Village of Ryley and it represents a great opportunity for residents to have input and give direction about what our village will look like in 25 years or more.
The MDP will be Ryley’s guiding document for growth. It explains the community’s vision for the future and provides a road map to achieve that vision.
Your input will be used to help determine:
Proposed bylaw to adopt the Equity Industrial Park ASP and proposed bylaws to amend the IDP, MDP, LUB
Proposed Bylaw #18-1063 is a bylaw that proposes to adopt an updated Equity Industrial Park Area Structure Plan (EIP ASP) in Beaver County. The purpose of the EIP ASP is to provide a future vision, development objectives and policy direction to establish the logical expansion of the EIP.
As part of the EIP ASP update process in Beaver County, the County is also amending applicable portions of the Ryley-Beaver Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP), the County Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and the County Land Use Bylaw (LUB) to ensure alignment. The Municipal Government Act outlines the need for these statutory plans to be consistent with one another.
Beaver County Council has passed 1st reading to these bylaws (#18-1061, #18-1062, #18-1063 and #18-1064). The Village of Ryley Council has passed 1st reading to the same Ryley-Beaver IDP bylaw (#2018-09-24). The proposed amendments to the Ryley-Beaver IDP and MDP include minor text and map amendments to align with the proposed EIP ASP policy areas.
The proposed amendments to the LUB include two (2) new land use districts with new permitted and discretionary uses, text and map amendments to align with the proposed EIP ASP policy areas. The proposed new land use districts are:
The following parcels in the EIP will be rezoned as follows:
RI (Rural Industrial) to IL (Business/Light Industrial):
RI (Rural Industrial) to IM (Medium Industrial):
RI (Rural Industrial) to IE (Low Impact Eco-Friendly Industrial):
LC (Landfill and Composting) to IM (Medium Industrial):
A FULL COPY OF THE COUNTY BYLAWS CAN BE OBTAINED AT THE BEAVER COUNTY SERVICE CENTRE OR AT WWW.BEAVER.AB.CA.
