Town Council Chambers
962 St. John Avenue

Council of the Town of Pincher Creek has been requested by a land owner to consider an amendment to Land Use Bylaw No. 1639-25, amending Schedule 3, ‘Residential – R1’ land use district, of Bylaw No. 1639-25, and add “Seasonal Glamping Accommodation” as a discretionary use in the land use district. As a current prohibited land use, recreational vehicles (RVs) are not allowed to be used for accommodation or lived in as permanent or temporary residential dwellings for human occupancy.

The intended purpose of the proposed amendment made by the applicant is to request Council add the use of “Seasonal Glamping Accommodation” as a use that may be allowed to accommodate one certified recreational vehicle (RV) designed and used for seasonal (May 1 to September 30), temporary (with stays under 28 days) travel and recreation on a residential property, provided specific use standards are met. The proposed amendment also includes adding criteria and standards for the use to Schedule 6, Use Specific Standards, of the Land Use Bylaw No. 1639-25.

A public hearing is to be held before Council on November 9, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. as the municipality must provide for the Bylaw application amendment’s consideration at a public hearing. A copy of the proposed complete bylaw may be inspected at the Town of Pincher Creek office during normal business hours.
