The City of Lloydminster is beginning the process to redistrict a parcel of land south of the city.
The parcel of land is north of 12 St. and east of 75 Ave.
“Planning Services has received an application to amend both the Lakeside ASP (area structure plan) Land Use Concept and the Land Use Map within Land Use Bylaw 05-2025,” said Terry Burton, the city’s director of planning and engineering. “The intention of these amendments is to redistrict lands located within the Plan Area from residential to commercial land use.”

The changes to the parcel, which is 2.44 acres, will see it become commercial land use as part of the Lakeside Shopping Centre.
It’s being changed from a transitional district, and Mayor Gerald Aalbers asked for details as to what a transitional district is.
“Transitional is really that start-up zoning associated with raw land, as being that initial phase,” Burton said, noting he would verify the specifics when it returns to council.
Council received the report as information and the process to amend the ASP and land use bylaw begins.
“So, first meeting, then public notice of the hearing and that takes two weeks,” said Aalbers. “At least two weeks based on meeting schedules of council, then the hearing. It could back to council that meeting or it could come back at a different meeting. So, in essence, at least a month, maybe more.”
The item is expected to return to a future council meeting for decision
