Downtown Fringe District

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

Two rounds of engagement have been completed for the Downtown Fringe District. The draft will be revised and shared with the community again for additional feedback before it is presented to Council. The engagement summary reports include:

• June 2025 – Downtown Fringe What We Heard Report
• February 2024 – Downtown Fringe What We Heard Report

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

Changes that were made to the 1st Downtown Fringe District Draft include:

• The one large node was changed to three small nodes.
• Locations that allow townhouses and apartments were reduced.
• Commercial was limited to parts of the Westview Plaza area.
• Maximum building height was reduced from 13m to 10m.

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.
