Inclusions and exclusions come from applications for authorization submitted under the Act respecting the protection of agricultural land and activities (LPTAA L.R.Q., c. P-41.1) with respect to the inclusion of lots in the agricultural zone or excluding lots from the agricultural zone. o The inclusions and exclusions file represents polygons derived 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 subtracts it. The boundaries of the agricultural zone are then the result of the addition of these decisions. o The decisions are distributed over time and there may be a partial or total superposition of an area resulting from inclusion and exclusion. In these cases, the resultant from the highest file number should be considered, which constitutes 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 Cadaster of Quebec, orthophotos and various plans. · Layout caveats 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 Office of Rights Publicity. Only then will the decision appear in the inclusions and exclusions file. Several months may elapse between a decision and its registration. If the conditions are not met within the time limit set, a decision will lapse. o With the progress of cadastral renovation, more and more territories in agricultural areas are dependent on the new land register. The renovated land register 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 inclusion or exclusion have been issued 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. Purpose: To have an overview of the decisions of the CPTAQ and facilitate the processing of authorization applications.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
