Zoning Bylaw Phase 2

As part of phase 2 of the Zoning Bylaw project, The City is reviewing land use zones and is recommending improvements and corrections to better reflect how land is being used. Phase 2 is underway in the following order:

• Other Zones (underway)
• Regulations for specific uses (Winter 24/25)
• General regulations & parking (Winter 24/25)
• Overlays, modifiers, and character statements (2025)

Other Zones (July - November 2024):

This project aims to allow for more flexibility in the Zoning Bylaw while providing consistent standards and interpretation, simplifying the development process and timelines, and involving the public. Under this review, we are looking at possible changes to the following zones:

• A-1 Future Urban Development
• A-2 Environmental Preservation
• P-1 Parks and Recreation
• PS Public Service
• PSI Post Secondary Institution
• PS-R Public Service Residential

The City of Red Deer is proposing the following zoning changes:

• Executive Summary
• Update A-1 to FD (Future Development)
• Update A-2 to NA (Natural Area)
• Update P-1 to PR (Parks and Recreation)
• Update Public Service Zone (PS zone) into several specific zones to better reflect the intended use of institutional and public uses. The City will work with PS landowners to best determine which proposed Service Zone should replace their current zoning. Once we have completed this process with all PS landowners, this information will be made available.

Proposed PS updates:

• S-WP: Service - Westerner Park
• S-HC: Service – Health Care Zone
• S-IU: Service – Infrastructure and Utility Zone
• S-CG: Service – Community and Government Zone
• S-S: Service – School Zone

• The PS-R zone is proposed to be a direct control zone to apply only to Asooahum Crossing
• Update PSI zone
• New "Other Zones" Definitions. These are in addition to the existing definitions in the Zoning Bylaw. Definitions will continue to evolve through the phase 2 process.
