District Zoning Bylaw given Final Readings by Corman Park Council

On June 14, 2021, the Council of the R.M. of Corman Park gave first reading to Bylaw 35/21 “the P4G Planning District Zoning Bylaw“. First reading was approved unanimously and a public hearing was held August 16, 2021. Landowners and rightsholders within the proposed P4G Planning District boundaries were sent a written notice of the public hearing.

Following the public hearing, the District Zoning Bylaw was given second and third readings by R.M. Council. The District Zoning Bylaw is the final document necessary to create the P4G Planning District. The P4G District Official Community Plan, Planning District Agreement, District Zoning Bylaw and submission checklist have been sent to the Province for review and ministerial approval and establishment of the P4G Planning District. An establishment date of January 1, 2022 was requested by P4G. The current Corman Park-Saskatoon DPC will continue operating until the new P4G Planning District is in place.

If you have any questions regarding the P4G Planning District, please contact the RM of Corman Park, via email @ planning@rmcormanpark.ca, or phone 306-242-9303.

Why a new P4G Planning District?

The latest projections show the Saskatoon region nearing a population of 500,000 in the next 20 years. Given the economic climate, we anticipate the Saskatoon region could achieve a population of one million in the next 60 years. We want our region to be ready for growth, to enable economic prosperity for everyone, and support the quality of life that we enjoy. This has reinforced the need for a more coordinated approach to regional planning and servicing. To this end, the Saskatoon North P4G partnering municipalities agreed that they needed to develop and adopt a long term view and plan for land use and servicing that is regional in scope.

A Plan for the Region

The District Official Community Plan will establish a coordinated approach to matters related to the physical, social, or economic circumstances of the Saskatoon region that may affect the development of the region as a whole, such as:

• land use
• population
• transportation
• utilities
• services
• finances
