Foothills County has compiled Land Use Statistics comparing 2020 and 2025 for information.
Land uses under the Agricultural heading include Agricultural District, Agricultural Subdistrict ‘A’ and Direct Control District #29 (Commercial Arena District). The land uses under the Residential heading include all Residential Districts, including Residential Community and County Residential. All other land uses are contained in the remaining grouping.
The number of acres of lands under Agricultural zoning increased between 2020 and 2025. This is due to Council allowing the rezoning of a few Industrial Natural Resource (gravel extraction) zoned parcels that had completed reclamation back to Agricultural district. In addition, Council approved the rezoning of several Direct Control District #5 (airport district) parcels back to Agricultural district. The overall number of acres in the County decreased due to the Town of High River annexation which took effect on January 2021.
