This was determined not to factor into the modelling as there is a process to acquire waivers from the Province and therefore the setbacks consider in the modelling process represents the values of the participants in the MLUST project. [...] MUNICIPAL LAND USE SUITABILITY TOOL FINAL REPORT 2021 - MUNICIPALITY OF CROWSNEST PASS 11 Background of Process This is the third iteration of the tool, and the current process has been adapted to address the specific context of the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass. [...] Throughout the process, additional suggestions for improvement and refinement of the tool were brought forth including: • Separating development types • Providing clear definitions of landscape features • Determining the scope of features concerning ‘viewsheds’ The current MLUST process builds on the successes of the previous iteration of the tool and tackled the challenge of creating a municipal. [...] Each participant was required to complete the exercise which included: • indicating if a given feature was of value (very low, low, medium, high, very high) relative to the development type, and • determining if a buffer should be applied to the footprint of the feature to setback development from the feature and if yes, to select the size of the buffer. [...] The Combined Conflict Probability Rating Map was then overlaid with the No-Go and Settlement and Infrastructure layers for each of the land use types (residential, commercial/light industrial and heavy industry) to depict the lands that would be most in conflict with the valued ecological and cultural features on the landscape.
