The Zoning Bylaw is a regulatory document that facilitates implementation of the City of Saskatoon's Official Community Plan.   All land in the City of Saskatoon is assigned a zoning district and subject to development standards associated with the zoning district. Parking, permitted uses, and setbacks are included in these regulations. The Zoning Bylaw Review project will undertake a review of the Zoning Bylaw to ensure that it meets the current and desired trends in commercial, residential and community development. It will also ensure that the Zoning Bylaw aligns with the City's sustainability goals and that it follows best practices.

The next set of Amendments are being prepared and will be open for engagement in 2022.

The Zoning Bylaw last underwent a review from 2007 to 2009. A range of amendments will be considered to align with identified strategic priorities and current trends, including business-friendly and economic-development initiatives, environmental initiatives and other current trends in planning.  Amendments will also align with other strategic City initiatives, including the Plan for Growth, the Culture Plan, the Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth Regional Plan and the Official Community Plan.

*New* Updates on the project were presented to the Municipal Planning Commission (October 29, 2019) and the Planning, Development and Community Services Committee (November 5, 2019).
