Proposed Site Plan

What is Rezoning?

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

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 a Zoning Agreement?

In some instances, a regulatory tool called a Zoning Agreement may be used when a specific development is proposed as part of a rezoning application.  A Zoning Agreement is a binding legal agreement that, if approved by City Council, is tied to the land and ensures that only the specific development proposal put forward by the applicant can be constructed on the property.  The Agreement may specify permitted uses of the land and standards respecting building form, scale, and site layout, among other considerations.

For this application, a Zoning Agreement is proposed to be employed to address specific development standards respecting building form, building height, number of dwelling units, and parking.  Other items may be identified during the review process.

What is the Typical Process for a Rezoning?

When a rezoning application is received by Planning and Development, it is reviewed for conformance 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 rezoning 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 to approve or deny the rezoning 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 a rezoning 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 in person regarding the rezoning application at the Public Hearing.
