Proposed Amendments to Foothills County Land Use Bylaw 60/2014
Amendments to the current Foothills County Land Use Bylaw 60/2014 are being proposed. The amendments are as follows:
- A new definition for “Data Processing Facility – Type 1” as follows:
DATA PROCESSING FACILITY – TYPE 1 means a building, dedicated space within a building, or a sea-can used to house computer systems and associated infrastructure for the purpose of small scale digital data processing.
Small scale facilities generally have limited infrastructure, do not exceed the thresholds requiring provincial approvals, and are anticipated to have minimal off-site impacts. These facilities are not intended to be included under the uses of Home Office or Home-Based Business.
For Information:
Projects meeting the following thresholds do not require Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) approval or may qualify for exemption; however, notification in accordance with AUC Rule 007 may remain mandatory:
- On-site generation capacity below 1 MW;
- Generation for on-site consumption only, with no grid export;
- Renewable micro-generation (solar, wind, etc.) ≤ 5 MW for on-site use only, registered under the Micro-Generation Regulation.
Provincial thresholds are periodically updated. Where discrepancies arise, provincial requirements supersede municipal approvals.
2. New content under Section 10 Specific Use Regulations titled “Data Processing Facility”, including provisions and application requirements for Data Processing Facilities in Foothills County.
3. The addition of “Data Processing Facility – Type 1” as a Discretionary Use under the General Industry District and Direct Control District #34 – Commercial Solar Power.
