Proposal

Planning and Development has received an application from 102005035 Saskatchewan Ltd. to amend the Hampton Village Business Park Concept Plan (Concept Plan) and rezone 1215 Claypool Drive as shown on the maps below. The site is currently undeveloped and designated Arterial Commercial, Business Park and Light Industrial on the Concept Plan, and zoned AG – Agricultural District under the Zoning Bylaw.   

Kahkewistahaw First Nation owns 1215 Claypool Drive located in the Hampton Village Business Park and are working towards having the 16.19 hectare (40 acre) site approved as an Urban Reserve. As part of this process, City Council approved entering into a Municipal Services and Compatibility Agreement with Kahkewistahaw First Nation in September 2019. The Agreement provides for the site to be developed in accordance with similar development standards to the IL1 - General Light Industrial Zoning District. The proposed amendments would allow for the land use designation and zoning on-site to align with the Agreement. 

Future amendments to the Hampton Village Business Park Concept Plan will also be required to facilitate the development of 1215 Claypool Drive as an Urban Reserve. Those amendments will be needed to address the realignment of roads, development sites, land use and servicing requirements. Review and consultation on those amendments is anticipated to occur in 2021.

What is a Neighbourhood Concept Plan?

A Neighbourhood Concept Plan (NCP) is a neighborhood-level land use plan that guides the development of a new neighbourhood in Saskatoon. It outlines the land uses, densities, transportation network, parks system, and community facilities intended for a neighbourhood as it grows.

A NCP is approved by a resolution of City Council following and extensive review process. Once a NCP is approved, it is implemented over many years as the land is subdivided, zoning is applied, roads and services are installed, parks are constructed, and residences and businesses in the new neighbourhood are established.

As a new neighbourhood is built out, circumstances often necessitate amendments to a NCP. Proposed amendments are reviewed, including a community engagement process prior to being considered by City Council for a decision. NCP amendment applications are evaluated on a case-by-case basis where both the subject area and the surrounding neighbourhood are considered in the review.

What is a Rezoning?

All property in the City of Saskatoon is assigned a zoning designation under the Zoning Bylaw No. 8770. Within each zoning designation, specific land uses are either permitted, prohibited, or discretionary.

Applications to change the zoning designation of a property may be considered through a rezoning process, which includes review by City Administration and engagement with the surrounding neighbourhood. All rezoning applications require a decision by City Council at a Public Hearing upon conclusion of the process.

Rezoning applications are evaluated on a case-by-case basis where both the subject site and the surrounding neighbourhood are considered in the review.

What is the Typical Process for an Amendment Application?

When an amendment application is received by Planning and Development, it is reviewed for conformity with the Official Community Plan, Zoning Bylaw, and other applicable city planning policies and development regulations. It is also circulated to other Civic Departments to review technical considerations such as the capacity of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation infrastructure to accommodate the proposal.

Once internal review by the relevant Civic Departments is complete, public engagement on the application is undertaken. This phase of the process provides the opportunity for members of the public to review a proposal, ask questions, identify issues, and provide comment. Registered property owners, typically within 75-150 metres of the subject site, the Community Association, and the Ward Councillor are notified of the application, and are invited to provide questions and comment. When necessary, a public information meeting is held that may include a formal presentation, and question and answer session.

Following public engagement, Planning and Development prepares a report that includes a recommendation on the application, and outlines information collected from the internal review and public engagement processes. The report is first considered by the Municipal Planning Commission, an advisory committee, to City Council. The final decision to approve or deny an application rests with City Council who consider the report, and recommendation along with the Municipal Planning Commission’s feedback at a Public Hearing. Any member of the public is welcome to provide a written submission, or address City Council regarding the application at the Public Hearing.
