NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
At the City Council meeting on February 10, 2025, the City of Humboldt introduced Bylaw No. 05/2025, The Development Charges Bylaw. The bylaw, if adopted, will set new rates for Development Charges.
Development Charges are fees collected from Developers to cover some or all of the costs associated with new development. The costs include upgrades to existing infrastructure such as water/sewer lines, lift stations, and arterial roads outside of the area being developed. The costs also include the establishment of new facilities such as recreational facilities.
A study and final report were completed that outline the proposed costs and fees. Copies of the report and draft bylaw may be made available upon request.
For further information/clarification please contact the Planning Coordinator either via email at planning@humboldt.ca or by phone at 306-682-2525.
Council for the City of Humboldt will be reading the bylaw for a second time at the Regular Council Meeting held February 24th, 2025. If you have questions or wish to comment on the plan (or appear before Council on this matter), this can be done by:
1) Contact the Interim City Clerk – Email: cityclerk@humboldt.ca or call (306) 682-2525. Correspondence must be received prior to noon on February 20th, 2025.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
At the City Council meeting on February 10, 2025, the City of Humboldt introduced Bylaw No. 06/2025, a bylaw to amend Bylaw No. 03/2016, The Official Community Plan. The bylaw, if adopted, will replace section 5.1.4.1 of the Official Community Plan (OCP) with the following wording:
Policy (a) New development shall pay all eligible costs (as defined in Section 169 of the Planning and Development Act, 2007) of development which directly or indirectly serve new development through servicing agreements and development charge agreements. Policy (b) The cost of extending major services which indirectly serve (off-site) new development will be recovered through an analysis of off-site capital projects intended to accommodate growth and the long-term financial impact on the City. Policy (c) The Development Charges will be reviewed and approved by the City council on a regular basis or as required to ensure a fair and equitable amount of capital costs of growth are covered. Policy (d) Where development of land results in an intensification of use and is expected to draw more capacity from off-site municipal services such as water, sewer, roadways, parks and recreation facilities, the developer may be required to enter into a development charge agreement with the City to cover the costs of future improvements or upgrades to off-site services. City Council will measure the benefits of charging the development levy against the benefits accrued through infill development and may reduce or waive the collection of the development levy by resolution.
Copies of the existing OCP may be found on our website: https://humboldt.ca/planning/. Additionally, copies of the existing OCP and of the Draft Bylaw may be made available upon request.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
At the City Council meeting on January 27, 2025, the City of Humboldt introduced Bylaw No. 04/2025, a bylaw to amend Bylaw No. 04/2016 – The Zoning Bylaw. The amendment, if approved, will rezone Lot 27, Block 58, Plan 102200038 from C2 – Medium Density Commercial District to R3 – Core Mixed Residential District. A map of the proposed rezoning has been attached.
The reason for this amendment is to allow for an existing single-unit dwelling which is currently considered an “existing non-conforming” use due to its placement on a commercially zoned lot. If passed, the bylaw would allow the dwelling to exist as a fully permitted, residential, use.
For further information/clarification please contact the Planning Coordinator either via email at planning@humboldt.ca or by phone at 306-682-2525. A copy of the amendment map and draft bylaw may be made available upon request.
Council for the City of Humboldt will be reading the bylaw for a second time at the Regular Council Meeting held February 24th, 2025. If you have questions or wish to comment on the plan (or appear before Council on this matter), this can be done by:
1) Contact the Interim City Clerk – Email: cityclerk@humboldt.ca or call (306) 682-2525. Correspondence must be received prior to noon on February 20th, 2025.
