Specifically, the councils of both municipalities acknowledge there is a need<br \/>\nto ensure that land use activity in the fringe does not unduly compromise long-term urban<br \/>\nexpansion and further that conflicts between rural and urban uses are minimized.<br \/>\nThe Municipal District of Taber (MD of Taber) and the Town of Vauxhall (Town) have<br \/>\nestablished an excellent working relationship with respect to planning matters of joint interest<br \/>\nand have chosen to formalize their relationship through an Intermunicipal Development Plan<br \/>\n(IMDP). This Intermunicipal Development Plan establishes policies that apply to lands within<br \/>\nthe intermunicipal planning area, which includes land within the MD of Taber and within the<br \/>\nTown boundaries.<br \/>\nIt is intended that this plan provide a framework for consideration of municipal interests in<br \/>\ndecision-making by establishing general policies, referral requirements, plan administration<br \/>\nprocedures, and measures for conflict resolution. Most importantly, the Intermunicipal<br \/>\nDevelopment Plan is intended to foster on-going coordination and communication between the<br \/>\nmunicipalities by providing a forum to discuss planning issues and concerns. The framework of<br \/>\nthis plan is designed to support decision-making in each municipality with input and<br \/>\nconsultation from the other municipality. Each municipality is responsible for making decisions<br \/>\nwithin their boundaries using the policies and procedures provided in the plan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/town.vauxhall.ab.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Vauxhall-Taber-MD-Intermunicipal-Development-Plan-Bylaws-1808-and-844-09-January-2010.pdf\">Intermunicipal Development Plan<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Town of Vauxhall Municipal Development Plan (MDP or Plan) serves as a long\u2010range planning tool, guiding growth and development toward the community\u2019s desired future.
