Overview
The Blairmore Sector Plan has three main purposes:

• This plan enhances the City of Saskatoon's vision in the Official Community Plan to develop a Suburban Development Area;
• This plan establishes a layout for the preparation of future Neighbourhood Concept Plans to ensure growth proceeds in a balanced, compact, contiguous manner; and 
• This plan identifies key land uses and servicing components that will need to be addressed in detail during the Neighbourhood Concept Plan process. 

The Sector Plan is a preliminary planning study and is future oriented.  No specific timeframe for development is applied to the Blairmore Sector Plan.

In January, 2005, the City of Saskatoon boundary was altered to include an additional 2,078 ha (5,134 ac) on the edge of the city to accommodate the growth of the Blairmore Suburban Development Area.  The Blairmore Suburban Development Area currently has land sufficient for nine neighbourhoods and approximately 50,000 to 70,000 people within its boundaries.  The Blairmore Sector is located in west Saskatoon as indicated in Figure 3, page 29 of the Blairmore Sector Plan Report.

The Blairmore Sector Plan applies to a portion of the Blairmore Suburban Development Area plus additional lands north of the west City limits (within the RM of Corman Park).  The Blairmore Sector is located east of the Perimeter Highway alignment; north of the Canadian Pacific Railway rail line; west of Hampton Village, Dundonald, Confederation Park, Pacific Heights, and Parkridge neighbourhoods; and south of Beam Road (RM of Corman Park road).

Sector Plans provide a broad framework for future urban development and include the location and size of future neighbourhoods, employment areas, parks, and significant natural areas. City services are planned, new neighbourhood concept plans are developed, land use designations and rezoning applications are evaluated, and amendments to the City boundary are based on the framework provided by Sector Plans.
