The inclusions and exclusions come from applications for authorization submitted under the Act Respecting the Protection of Territory and Agricultural Activities (LPTAA L.R.Q., c. P-41.1) relating to the inclusion of lots in the agricultural zone or to the exclusion of lots in the agricultural zone. o The file of inclusions and exclusions represents polygons resulting from decisions of the Commission that modify the boundaries of the agricultural zone. An inclusion adds an area to the agricultural area while an exclusion removes it. The boundaries of the agricultural zone are then the result of the addition of these decisions. o The decisions are spread over time and there may be a partial or total superposition of an area resulting from an inclusion and an exclusion. In these cases, the result from the highest file number must be considered, which is the final result. · Source of inclusions and exclusions 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 Cadastre of Quebec, orthophotos and various plans ·. Warning and limitations o All inclusion and exclusion files are also contained in the decision file. However, a decision leading to an inclusion or exclusion will not take effect until it is registered with the Registrar of Rights Office. Only then will the decision appear in the inclusions and exclusions file. Several months may pass between a decision and its registration. If the conditions are not met within the specified period, a decision will lapse. 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 leading to an inclusion or an exclusion 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.
