Prince Albert city council has voted to change the way it sends out public notices allow more time for community feedback, and increase the number of properties who receive notices about new developments that might be controversial.
Planning and Development Director Craig Guidinger told council it’s no secret the City’s current bylaw has been a controversial topic.
