Zoning Bylaw Phase 2 - Other Zones

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 for "other zones" is underway.

Pre-engagement is open now until January 6, 2025. Input collected during this phase will inform Planning's recommendations in advance of formal engagement to occur in spring 2025. The graph below shows the anticipated engagement timeline, with multiple opportunities for the public to provide input.

Other elements of phase 2 will be explored in 2025, with separate engagement processes for regulations, parking, overlays, modifiers and character statements. Updates will be posted when these input opportunities are open.

Other Zones (July - January 2025):

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.
