Explanation:
If 'Alt' is not an abbreviation here (and the lack of a full stop would indicate so), it must mean 'all' or 'everything', as in: 'In relation to all of this, see xxx' or 'all of this is as stated in xxx'.

I might simply translate this as follows:
'Cf the municipal regulations', i.e. leaving out a translation of 'alt'.
