Should 3rd Avenue N in City Park Allow Medium-Density Housing?
Official title: 900 Block 3rd Avenue N
Saskatoon Land wants to rezone 11 undeveloped lots on 3rd Avenue N in the City Park neighbourhood. Right now, the land is zoned for institutional uses like schools or churches. The proposal would allow townhouses, small apartment buildings, and limited commercial uses like cafes or daycares instead.
Why This Matters
Live in City Park or nearby? This rezoning sets the rules for what gets built on this empty block. It could mean more neighbours, more housing options, and small businesses within walking distance. Or it could change the character of your street.
What Could Change
If approved, the zoning would allow buildings up to medium density—think townhouses, fourplexes, or small apartments. Small commercial uses like cafes, health clubs, and daycares would also be permitted. No specific building is proposed yet; this just sets the rules for future development.
Key Issues
- Should this block be rezoned from institutional to residential/mixed-use?
- Is medium-density housing appropriate for this location near the bus rapid transit corridor?
