This work is part of the Housing Accelerator Fund Action Plan endorsed by City Council intended to increase available housing in Saskatoon. Since the public engagement sessions in Fall 2023, the City has been working on initiatives identified in the Housing Accelerator Fund Action Plan to have even more impact on housing in Saskatoon. As a result, much of what was presented in Fall 2023 is no longer what the City is working toward. Incorporating the required changes from the Housing Accelerator Fund Action Plan and feedback from the fall engagement sessions, the Corridor Planning team has completed revisions to the proposed land use plans which can be found below.
Note: Maps confirmed May 8, 2024 with detail on where new land use designations and Corridor boundary amendments are proposed.

Housing Accelerator Fund - Four Storey Residential Development
Please visit the "Four Storeys in TDA" section on Saskatoon.ca/HAF for details on proposed changes to permit, without the need for rezoning, four storey multiple-unit residential development within the proposed Transit Development Area (TDA) approximately 800 metres from future Bus Rapid Transit routes, and up to six storeys for sites along the BRT routes proposed to be designated Station Mixed Use and Corridor Mixed Use. The changes will be considered by City Council on June 27, 2024.
Proposed Corridor Growth Boundary Amendments
Proposed amendments to the Corridor Growth Area boundary as found in the Official Community Plan (Map 3 - Planned Growth) will also be considered by City Council at the June 27, 2024 Public Hearing.

The Corridor Growth boundary was identified early in the Corridor Planning Program as a study area encompassing approximately 250 to 860 meters on either side of the planned BRT system. The proposed boundary amendments were determined through a review of the boundary to identify areas where it did not align with streets, back lanes, walkways or other spatial buffers. These proposed boundary adjustments ensure properties within the Corridor Growth Area are still within a close proximity to the BRT but minimize the instances of dividing block-faces. Considering the potential of development standards being tied to the Corridor Growth Area, it is preferred that standards are consistent for neighbouring properties.
