    Rocky View County has released the new draft Municipal Development Plan (MDP) that will replace the current County Plan. This is the County's top-level planning document, providing guidance for all development in Rocky View County. You can find the new draft MDP here. Residents and/or landowners in Rocky View County can provide feedback on the draft MDP through an online survey. The survey is open from May 2 - June 1, 2025, and can be found here. 

    Residents/landowners also can provide feedback in person at Open Houses throughout the month of May. For Bearspaw, the Open House is on Monday, May 12, 2025, at the Rock Pointe Church, 255024 Lochend Road from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. A virtual Open House will be on Thursday, May 22, 2025, from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. The link for the virtual Open House will be available on the Rocky View County website closer to the date.

    The updated Aggregate Resource Plan (ARP) is still under discussion. Administration provided Rocky View County Council a report on the ARP at the April 22, 2025, Council meeting. Staff reported that 266 individuals provided feedback on the draft ARP documents which indicated strong community support for the ARP. Staff said that the community indicated a preference for stronger policies related to such issues as setback distances; better access to information on aggregate sites; stronger proactive monitoring with both scheduled and unscheduled inspections; stricter penalties for non-compliance; improved monitoring of air and water quality; stronger monitoring of truck traffic; improved requirements for public engagement; and the importance of independent third-party reviews of technical studies. Council will have their own workshop on the ARP on May 22, 2025, for further consideration. 

    At the April 22, 2025, hearing, Council's discussions showed that not all councillors are in favour of the ARP. Some councillors are concerned about restrictions to gravel operators. As such, it will be important for community members to show up at the public hearing about the ARP planned for June 2025.

    The Bearspaw Area Structure Plan is under revision and review. The Bearspaw ASP is important to everyone in Church Ranches. The ASP covers such things as land use strategy, which, in part, applies to aggregate extraction (gravel pits) in Bearspaw, including in the vicinity of Church Ranches. The most recent draft ASP (December 2024) proposes to prohibit new aggregate development within the ASP, an important point that needs to be supported by our community if we wish to keep gravel pits away from our residential areas. The key dates are:

    January 8 - Rocky View County will be holding an online information session. To register, please contact the Planning Team at Planning_Policy@rockyview.ca .

    January 28, 9:00 am  - Rocky View County Council will hold a public hearing for the Bearspaw Area Structure Plan at a Special Council Meeting.
