Holistic Neighbourhood 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

Initial engagement for the Holistic Neighbourhood District is complete. The draft will be revised and shared with the community again for further feedback before it is presented to Council. The engagement summary reports include:

• TBD Jan 2026 - Holistic Neighbourhood What We Heard Report
• September 2024 - Holistic Neighbourhood What We Heard Report 

The following highlights the purpose of each sub-place type within the 2nd Draft Holistic Neighbourhood District. More details and regulations of each sub-place type are available in the draft:

• Nodes
  • This sub-place refers to areas that are intended for highest intensity of commercial, mixed-use, and higher density development.
• Arterial Street Locations
  • This sub-place type is characterised by medium and high-density residential sites, mixed-use, or commercial development.
• Collector Street Locations
  • This sub-place type comprises of medium density residential development in diverse housing styles and medium scale commercial developments.
• Local Street Locations
  • Development within this sub-place intended to remain primarily low-density and residential in character.

Based on the feedback that was received through the initial engagement, changes were made to the 1st Draft Holistic Neighbourhood District.

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.
