Land Use Zoning
All Municipalities are required to enact a Land Use Bylaw providing for Land Use Zoning. 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 Sunset Beach Land Use Bylaw for details.
This bylaw contains the rules and regulations for the development of land in the Summer Village.

Intermunicipal Development Plan
The Baptiste Lake Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) is a statutory plan between Athabasca County and the Summer Villages of South Baptiste, Sunset Beach, West Baptiste, and Whispering Hills for lands around Baptiste Lake. The IDP was adopted by all municipalities as of September 2021 and is now in effect for the lands within the plan area.
The purpose of this IDP is to:
- Coordinate land use policies, future development, and long-term growth within the plan area between the participating municipalities
- Implement consistent land management goals
- Reduce the possibility of future land use conflicts
- Establish processes for communication, referral, and dispute resolution
