The Municipal Development Plan sets a plan for future development within the Summer Village of South Baptiste. It plans for the long term, roughly 10 years.

This essentially classifies the type of development allowed on a parcel of land and contains rules for setback distances from property boundaries, total percentage of lot area covered by buildings, maximum height of buildings and other matters relative to development. Please consult the Summer Village of South Baptiste Land Use Bylaw for details. This bylaw contains the rules and regulations for the development of land in the Summer Village.
Any inquiries or requests for information regarding Development Permits, including appeals may be obtained by email from the Summer Village Development Authority.
