CPTAQ decisions

The 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 uses;

  • the subdivision or alienation of lots or parts of lots;
  • the exploitation of protected agricultural resources (maple cutting, removal of arable soil) and other resources (water extraction, quarry, gravel pit, sand pit and mine). o Applications for authorization under the Act Respecting the Acquisition of Agricultural Lands by Non-Residents (LATANR, L.R.Q., C.a-4.1) are also included in the decisions. o Some decisions made by the Commission were contested before the Tribunal. administrative department of Quebec, territory and environment section. The decisions of the Administrative Tribunal of Quebec can be appealed before the courts.

· Source of decisions o The reference documents that served as the basis for the digitization of decisions are: the basis for topographic data of Quebec (BDTQ) at a scale of 1:20,000, the cadastral compilation at the scale 1:20,000, the Quebec Cadastre, orthophotos and various plans.

· Warnings and limitations o The digital mapping of decisions resulting from authorization applications constitutes a working document and not an exhaustive map. In fact, some may be absent or are represented as points due to the lack of information or location maps. 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 as 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 If there is a misinterpretation, refer to the text of the decision as well as to the attached plan the case necessary to validate the positioning if necessary.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
