Should Your Property Be Rezoned for Mixed-Use Development Along Saskatoon's Future Transit Corridor?
Official title: Corridor Planning Opt-in Rezoning
Saskatoon is inviting property owners along its future bus rapid transit route to voluntarily rezone their land. The new zoning allows taller mixed-use buildings—up to 27 metres near transit stations. If you own property in the Corridor Growth Area, you can apply to participate in Spring 2026.
Why This Matters
Own property along 8th Street or near a future Link station? This could change what you can build—or what gets built next door. The rezoning allows apartment buildings with shops at street level, potentially increasing property values but also changing neighbourhood character.
What Could Change
Properties rezoned to CS1 could have buildings up to 27 metres (about 8 storeys). CM1 zones allow up to 22 metres. Both permit mixed residential and commercial uses. Once rezoned, future development applications become simpler to approve.
Key Issues
- Should your property be rezoned to allow taller mixed-use buildings?
- What concerns do residents have about increased density along transit corridors?
