Abstract: This paper investigates challenges to property rights and equal treatment in Alberta’s summer villages post-1995, when regional planning commissions were disbanded. It focuses on how regulatory measures like minimum dwelling size requirements can restrict property owners’ ability to use and develop their land, disproportionately affecting those with fewer resources. A case study demonstrates these potential rights intrusions, worsened by the lack of regional planning. The study examines exclusionary zoning, inconsistent decision-making, and lack of planning professionalism, underlining significant implications for rights in municipal planning.
