On September 16, 2025, Rocky View County Council adopted the new Municipal Development Plan (MDP.) This is the County's most important planning document, guiding development on lands located outside of area structure plans. While Church Ranches is covered by the Bearspaw Area Structure Plan, the MDP can affect living in Church Ranches by governing what happens in the surrounding areas. As of September 30, 2025, the MDP replaces the County Plan. You can find information on the MDP here.
