The Land and Property Rights Tribunal (Tribunal) will conduct a public hearing respecting an application by the City of Red Deer (City) to annex territory from Red Deer County (County). The hearing is scheduled as follows:
DATE: Tuesday, June 20, 2023
TIME: 10:00 AM
LOCATION: Radisson Hotel Red Deer (6500 - 67 Street) Red Deer, Alberta
The proposed annexation area involves approximately 216 hectares (533 acres) of land located adjacent to the City's northwest boundary. The application states that the proposed annexation will provide the City with highway fronting commercial land along Highway 2.
Although the two municipalities have negotiated an agreement, objections to the proposed annexation require the Tribunal to conduct a public hearing. The public hearing process will allow the Tribunal to receive information and evidence from interested parties about this matter. After considering the submissions from all parties, the Tribunal will make an annexation recommendation to the Minister of Municipal Affairs.
A hard copy of the annexation application can be viewed at both the City and the County municipal offices during normal business hours. Information about the proposed annexation can also be found on the City's website at https://www.reddeer.ca/annexation.
