Development Approvals

A development approval is when a submitted permit to the City of Leduc is given the go ahead to begin construction, addition or renovation on a property. This can  include new buildings, additions, change in use or intensity of use of land or buildings, signage on buildings or on private land.

When a development permit is approved it can be classified as permitted use or discretionary use. Permitted uses that comply with regulation and are approved by a Development Officer. Discretionary uses may be approved or refused by the Development Officer by factoring in considerations like the site, and how the proposed use complies with regulations and relates to surrounding areas. 

When a discretionary use permit is approved, adjacent properties will be notified by mail and approvals will be listed below. 

Discretionary Use Development Approvals 

Under Leduc’s Land-use Bylaw (No. 809-2013) discretionary uses must be shared with the community to allow citizens the opportunity to appeal the Development Officer’s decision.
