Analysis on Addition of Construction Debris Management Plan to Development Agreement

Administration reviewed the proposed Construction Debris and Site Management Plan by examining the City of Leduc's requirements as requested, a scan of other municipalities in the province, St. Albert's current Development Agreement requirements, St. Albert's Community Standards Bylaw, and other applicable regulations. The review found that many of the elements contained within Leduc's plan are already addressed through existing legislation, bylaws, agreements, and municipal standards. While consolidating these requirements into a single Construction Debris and Site Management Plan could improve clarity and reinforce expectations for developers, the practical effectiveness of such a requirement would be limited by its scope and enforceability. If adopted, the requirement would apply only to future developments and would not affect existing or active Development Agreements.
Administration does not recommend the adoption of a Construction Debris and Site Management Plan as an addition to the Development Agreement as the intent behind this motion is being met through existing provisions without creating this additional administrative document which would provide negligible meaningful incremental benefit.
