Should 1224 College Drive Be Rezoned for Mixed-Use Development?
Official title: 1224 College Drive
A developer wants to rezone a property in Saskatoon's Varsity View neighbourhood from institutional to mixed-use. The goal? Combine it with two neighbouring properties to build medium-density housing or commercial space along the future bus rapid transit route. The city is reviewing whether this fits the area's growth plans.
Why This Matters
Live in Varsity View or near College Drive? This could change what gets built next door. The rezoning would allow taller buildings with apartments, shops, or offices. It's part of Saskatoon's push to add housing along transit routes.
What Could Change
If approved, the property at 1224 College Drive would be rezoned to CS1 – Corridor Station Mixed Use. That means future development could include medium-density apartments, retail, or offices. The three combined properties would follow the same zoning rules, enabling a larger unified project.
Key Issues
- Should the property be rezoned from institutional to mixed-use?
- Is this rezoning consistent with the Official Community Plan and Corridor Growth Area goals?
- How will this affect the Varsity View neighbourhood character?
