OPEN HOUSE: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ROSEWOOD NEIGHBOURHOOD CONCEPT PLAN – THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 2014

A major amendment to the Rosewood Neighbourhood Concept Plan is proposed to accommodate a number of changes to the east side of the neighbourhood.  The amendment will provide for the inclusion of lands east of Zimmerman Road as an employment area consisting of commercial and light industrial land uses.  Also proposed are changes to the layout and land use pattern of the eastern portion of the neighbourhood, including new opportunities for higher density residential and mixed-use development along corridors.  Roadway access to the neighbourhood from Highway 16, previously proposed to be via Rosewood Gate South, is now proposed for Zimmerman Road.

The proposed changes will add 152 acres to the neighbourhood, bringing the total area to 876 acres.  The original concept plan, approved by City Council in 2008, projected a total neighbourhood population of 10,657 residents.  The proposed amendment would result in approximately 11,890 residents.

Amendments to the Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw related to this concept plan amendment are also proposed.

The public is invited to attend a “come-and-go” open house to view the proposed amendment to the Rosewood Neighbourhood Concept Plan and to ask questions of the City of Saskatoon staff and development partners.
