Decisions come from applications for authorization submitted under the Act respecting the protection of land and agricultural activities (LPTAA L.R.Q., c. P-41.1) relating to: - the inclusion or exclusion of lots in the agricultural zone; - the establishment or expansion of uses other than agricultural; - the establishment or expansion of uses other than agricultural; - the subdivision or the alienation of lots or parts of lots; - the exploitation of protected agricultural resources (cutting maple, removal of arable soil) and other resources (water extraction, quarry, gravel, sand pit and mine). o The applications for authorization under the Act respecting the acquisition of agricultural land by non-residents (LATANR, L.R.Q., c.A-4.1) are also included in the decisions. o Certain decisions rendered by the Commission have been contested before the Administrative Tribunal of Quebec, territory and environment section. The decisions of the Administrative Tribunal of Quebec may be appealed before the courts. · Source of decisions o The reference documents that served as the basis for the digitization of decisions are: the Quebec Topographic Database (BDTQ) at a scale of 1:20,000, the cadastral compilation at a scale of 1:20,000, the Cadastral of Quebec, the Cadastre of Quebec, orthophotos and various plans. · Warning and limitations o The digital mapping of decisions resulting from applications for authorization constitute a working document and not a map comprehensive. In fact, some may be absent or are represented in the form of points due to the lack of information or location plans. o With the progress of cadastral renovation, more and more territories in agricultural areas are dependent on the new cadastre. The renovated cadastre has the advantage of being more precise and better structured than the cadastral compilation. On the other hand, you should know that several decisions have been rendered and mapped on the cadastral compilation. Therefore, in order to limit the risks of misinterpretation, refer to the text of the decision as well as to the attached plan if necessary to validate the positioning if necessary.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
