What is the meaning of a development agreement?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from St. Andrews (Rural Municipality) v. Penner, 2003 MBQB 163 (CanLII):
One therefore would expect that a development agreement would relate to the use of land and indeed according to Rogers, such agreements are seen as avoiding the constraints placed by the legislatures and the courts upon the use of zoning and development controls; in other words, a development agreement is a tool for the regulation of land use. In Jacques v. Alexander, the development agreement was viewed in just that way – as a means to regulate land use without a zoning by-law.
