Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G)

District Zoning Bylaw given First Reading by Corman Park Council

On June 14, 2021, the Council of the Rural Municipality of Corman Park gave first reading to Bylaw 35/21 “The Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth Planning District Zoning Bylaw, 2021”. First reading was approved unanimously after two edits were made to the bylaw document – Bed and Breakfast Home was removed as a discretionary use in each of the Country Residential Zoning Districts (DCR1, DCR2, DCR3 & DCR4), and the second sentence of 3.18.4, which included examples of outdoor storage not supported within yards in residential zoned districts, was deleted. A copy of the draft bylaw presented to RM Council can be found on starting on page 306 of the June 14, 2021 Council meeting agenda package.

A public hearing for the bylaw has been tentatively scheduled for August 16, 2021. Notice of the public hearing will be advertised in local newspapers and on the RM website – rmcormanpark.ca. Landowners and rightsholders within the proposed P4G Planning District boundaries will be sent a written notice of the public hearing.

After adoption of the bylaw by Corman Park, the District Zoning Bylaw, District Official Community Plan and Planning District Agreement will be forwarded to the Province for final approval and establishment of the P4G Planning District.

If you have any questions regarding the draft bylaw or the P4G Planning District, please contact Neal Sarnecki, P4G Director, via email @ nsarnecki@partnershipforgrowth.ca, or phone 306-222-9420.

P4G District Official Community Plan approved!

Following a Joint Councils Public Hearing on September 24, 2020, each of the partner municipal councils adopted bylaws approving the P4G District Official Community Plan.

The P4G District Official Community Plan is the cornerstone of the proposed new P4G Planning District. Following approval of a new District Zoning Bylaw by Corman Park, expected early in 2021, the bylaws will be forwarded to the Province for approval and formal establishment of the Planning District.

The RM of Corman Park and the City of Saskatoon also gave notice of their intent to repeal the existing Corman Park-Saskatoon Planning District Official Community Plan Bylaws. However, please note that until the P4G District Official Community Plan is approved by the Province, the Corman Park-Saskatoon Planning District Official Community Plan Bylaws remain in effect.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Neal Sarnecki, P4G Director at nsarnecki@partnershipforgrowth.ca or 306-222-9420.

Why a Plan?

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
