Downtown Core District

Welcome!

The City of Fort Saskatchewan is developing a new Land Use Bylaw, and the Downtown Core District (DCD) is the next focus area. This includes properties along:

  • 101–104 Street, between 99 and 100 Avenue

  • 101–103 Street, along 100 and 101 Avenue

  • 104–106 Street along 100 Avenue

This area is the unique historic downtown which encompasses a mix of apartments, commercial businesses and offices where residents can shop, explore, and relax.

Land Use Bylaw Project

The City of Fort Saskatchewan is creating a new Land Use Bylaw (LUB). The City recognizes that areas within Fort Saskatchewan are different. Our goal is to create custom regulations that reflect the uniqueness of each neighbourhood.

Progress

One round of engagement has been completed for the Downtown Core District. The 1st draft of the district will be revised and shared with the community again for further feedback before it is presented to Council. The engagement summary reports include:

Thank you to the interested parties who took the time to help shape their community.

What's Next?

The City is working on the final draft based on what we heard. We will announce when the final draft is ready and will post it to this page.

We’re still in the draft stages—nothing is finalized yet. Your input will help shape the final decisions.
