OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
3.1 RESIDENTIAL
3.1.1 Background
Foam Lake, with a 2016 Statistics Canada population of 1,141, experienced an annual
population increase of 0.16% between 2006 and 2016. Continued economic growth in the
region suggests that the population of the Town will continue to remain stable with potential
to increase. The Town continues to see a decrease in the median age of the population.
In the spring of 2017, there were a total of 554 single detached dwellings within the Town.
While single detached dwellings are the dominant form of housing in Foam Lake, other
forms of residential development include mobile homes, and multiple unit dwellings in the
form of apartment buildings and duplexes. There are a total of approximately 601 dwelling
units in the Town. The Council, as well as the residents of the Town of Foam Lake,
recognize the importance of a diversity of housing.
Using an average annual growth rate of 0.5%, an additional 33 acres (13 ha) of land will be
needed by 2036 to accommodate new residential development. Given an average annual
growth rate of 1.5%, this number increases to 52 acres (21 ha) that will be required by 2036.
The Town of Foam Lake has ample room to accommodate this residential growth within its
boundary over the next twenty years.
As of 2017, there were approximately 24 Town-owned serviced, undeveloped residential lots
available. Areas need to be identified for future residential development in the long term.
The Town of Foam Lake does not currently permit secondary suites, garage or garden suites
as a secondary form of housing. Alternative forms of secondary housing, such as secondary
suites, garage and garden suites could be an option for the Town. Other municipalities within
the province are exploring the idea of permitting these types of suites to contend with the
increased demand for housing and to provide more affordable housing for both the renter and
the rentee in the form of a mortgage helper.
A number of home-based businesses operate in Foam Lake, providing opportunity for
residents to work out of their homes.
In the past, residential development in Foam Lake has developed on a traditional grid like
pattern with streets running north / south and avenues running east / west. Within the
southeast area of town, several cul-de-sacs exist. Consideration should be given to future
residential development and optimizing connection and way finding throughout the
community.
The Town has identified as a gap in the housing continuum related to seniors' housing.
The Town provides a tax incentive for new home construction and continues to investigate
the possibility of providing other incentives that meet the needs of Foam Lake's housing
continuum.
The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations provides the following statement
6
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
concerning residential development, which is addressed in the objectives and policies that
follow:
o The province has an interest in citizens having access to a range of housing options
to meet their needs and promote independence, security, health and dignity for
individuals, enhancing the economic and social wellbeing of communities.
3.1.2 Objectives and Policies
Objective 3.1.2.1: Future Residential Land Use
To identify the areas, within Foam Lake and outside of the Town's current boundaries, that are
most suitable for future residential development.
Policy (a)
The Town will ensure that new residential development locates in the areas noted
as "Future Residential" on the Future Land Use Concept. At the time of
subdivision, these areas will be zoned, in the Zoning Bylaw, for residential uses
and compatible development. Prior to such rezoning, development in these areas
will be regulated to prevent development of uses which would conflict with the
long-term use of these areas.
Policy (b)
If and when sufficient land is no longer available to accommodate additional
residential development, the Town will ensure that new residential development
shall locate in the areas noted as "Potential Residential" on the Future Land Use
Concept. Prior to the buildout of land identified as Potential Residential on the
Future Land Use Concept, noted herein, the Town shall undertake the necessary
studies and analysis to identify the lands necessary to accommodate residential
development for the next 15 to 20 years.
Policy (c)
Subject to policies contained in Section
3.9 -
Intermunicipal and
Interjurisdictional Cooperation, Council will initiate required actions to bring the
areas noted as "Potential Residential" within the corporate limits of the Town
through municipal boundary alteration. These areas will be zoned, in the Zoning
Bylaw, for future urban development or for residential uses and compatible
development when they are included within the corporate limits of the Town.
Those lands that are designated and zoned for future urban development will be
rezoned for residential uses and compatible development once plans for such
development have advanced to the point where the appropriate residential zoning
designation has been clarified and once the provision of municipal services has
advanced to the point where additional development in the area can be serviced in
a cost-effective manner.
Policy (d)
Infill of vacant residential lots will be encouraged; however, where there are
insufficient lots to meet demand, residential subdivision and servicing of land will
be supported to ensure a three to five year supply of serviced lots, based on the
rate of serviced lot uptake in the preceding years. Where Council is of the opinion
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
7
that a sufficient supply of desirable lots is unavailable, or a sufficiently wide
range of lots for certain dwelling types is unavailable, this guideline may be
adjusted.
Objective 3.1.2.2: Housing Diversity
To provide a variety of housing options to address the diverse needs of all ages, income and
social groups in the community.
Policy (a)
The Zoning Bylaw shall contain residential zoning districts that will facilitate a
range of housing types and complementary uses. These districts will provide
appropriate development standards to address building forms and dwelling unit
densities. Complementary uses shall be compatible with the use and scale of the
residential area, shall provide a needed service, and shall appropriately address
issues of transportation, parking, and land use conflicts.
Policy (b)
In order to provide a variety of housing options and to optimize the use of existing
infrastructure and services, consideration will be given to higher density
residential developments in appropriate locations in existing residential areas.
Proposed developments shall be compatible with nearby land uses and shall be
capable of being economically serviced.
Policy (c)
The Town will support affordable and alternative housing opportunities for
residents by facilitating the development of secondary suites, garden suites, and
garage suites. The Zoning Bylaw will include appropriate standards to ensure that
these uses are not detrimental to the residential character of the areas where they
are located.
Policy (d)
Supportive housing, such as residential care homes will be facilitated in all areas
of the Town. The Zoning Bylaw will contain development standards for these
uses.
Policy (e)
The Town will continue to work with the Foam Lake Housing Authority in
facilitating the development of non-market and market housing in meeting
residential housing continuum needs.
Policy (f)
The Town will continue to support programs and opportunities to provide
affordable and attainable housing, including for young families, singles and
seniors.
Objective 3.1.2.3: New Residential
To ensure that new residential areas are designed in a manner that provides a high quality living
environment and a range of housing options.
Policy (a)
New residential areas shall be designed to be pedestrian friendly, walkable, and
8
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
connected by orienting development to serve pedestrian and cycling traffic in
addition to automobile traffic.
Policy (b)
Residential uses shall be properly buffered from incompatible uses, railways, and
major roadways.
Policy (c)
The development of new residential areas should strive to contain a variety of
housing forms, including such housing as single detached dwellings,
semi-detached and two unit dwellings, secondary suites, and multiple unit
dwellings, to accommodate a range of users, including seniors.
Policy (d)
Multiple unit dwellings should generally be located with satisfactory access to
residential entrance points and should be sited to minimize potential conflicts with
other residential uses.
Policy (e)
The Town will ensure that new residential areas connect to and complement
existing and future developments, by requiring that concept plans be submitted to
the Town for approval prior to consideration of rezoning applications associated
with formal subdivision applications. Once the initial concept plan has been
accepted by Council, and subdivision and development commence, no subsequent
subdivision that is inconsistent with the approved concept plan and all policies in
this document will be permitted without acceptance of a revised concept plan by
Council.
Policy (f)
Connection and way-finding will be a consideration for the development of new
residential areas within the Town of Foam Lake.
Objective 3.1.2.4: Home Based Businesses
To facilitate economic development and foster entrepreneurship through support of home based
businesses that are clearly secondary to the residential use of the property and compatible with
the surrounding residential environment.
Policy (a)
Home based businesses that are clearly secondary to the principal residential use
of the dwelling unit and do not generate traffic, parking, noise, electrical
interference, vibration, odour or other elements that are not normally found in the
residential environment shall be accommodated.
Policy (b)
Land use conflicts shall be minimized by specifying the types of activities to be
fully permitted as home based businesses in the Zoning Bylaw. Those types of
home based businesses that are generally compatible with a residential
environment, but may involve certain activities that are not acceptable in all
locations, may be specified in the Zoning Bylaw as discretionary uses, and
permitted only at Council's discretion.
Policy (c)
The Zoning Bylaw shall contain development standards pertaining to permitted
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
9
and discretionary home-based businesses, including standards for parking, use of
accessory buildings, storage, product sales, resident and non-resident employees,
number of business-related vehicle trips per day, and other relevant matters.
Objective 3.1.2.5: Neighbourhood Commercial
To provide for complementary land uses within residential neighbourhoods.
Policy (a)
The predominant use of land within residential areas shall be residential. A range
of complementary institutional and community-oriented uses that are compatible
with a residential environment shall also be permitted.
Policy (b)
Residential commercial convenience developments should be strategically located
adjacent to arterial collector roadways, in close proximity to neighbourhood
entrance points.
Objective 3.1.2.6: Residential Infill
To ensure infill development supports and enhances Foam Lake's existing residential areas.
Policy (a)
In order to enhance the viability of the downtown and to optimize the use of
existing infrastructure and services, consideration will be given to higher density
residential and mixed use residential/commercial developments in proximity to
the town centre. Proposed developments shall be compatible with nearby land
uses and shall be capable of being economically serviced.
Policy (b)
In order to facilitate access to downtown commercial services by seniors or others
with mobility constraints, seniors housing, community services and other essential
services will be encouraged to locate in close proximity to the downtown.
Policy (c)
In order to provide a variety of housing options and to optimize the use of existing
infrastructure and services, consideration may be given to higher density
residential developments in appropriate locations in existing neighbourhoods.
Proposed developments shall be compatible with nearby land uses and shall be
capable of being economically serviced.
Policy (d)
Modular and RTM homes will be accommodated in existing residential areas
provided they are constructed in a manner that resembles and integrates with the
residential character of neighbouring built dwellings.
Objective 3.1.2.7: Manufactured Homes
To allow for the development of a range of residential uses including manufactured homes
within the corporate limits of the Town.
Policy (a)
The Town will continue to support manufactured home development in
10
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
designated areas of the community subject to compliance with the development
standards defined within the Zoning Bylaw.
Policy (b)
A separate manufactured home zoning district, for manufactured homes and
compatible development will be established in the Zoning Bylaw. Extension of
the manufactured home district into additional areas will be considered on a
case-by-case basis, as demand warrants.
3.2 COMMERCIAL
3.2.1 Background
Commercial development within the Town of Foam Lake is located primarily along Main
Street to the south of the rail line, as well as along Cameron Street. Highway commercial
development (larger scale, better suited for highway adjacency and oriented towards
vehicles) is located adjacent to Highway 16. Commercial uses within the community serve
the basic needs of the Town's residents and surrounding region.
The Town of Foam Lake has a distinct downtown core and as the community continues to
develop and grow, it is important to continue to enhance and encourage appropriate
development in this area, for it to remain the "heart" of the community. In addition to
commercial development in the downtown, important community services are also located
here, including the Seniors' Centre, museum, high school and Legion hall. Clustering of
essential community services and commercial businesses provides access to those with
mobility constraints and should be a consideration as the Town grows.
The Town of Foam Lake has a limited number of vacant commercial lots and buildings
located in the downtown core area. Encouraging new commercial developments to locate in
the well-defined core area will ensure Foam Lake's community centre remains viable and
vibrant as the community grows.
There are currently seven town-owned commercial lots available for development. Potential
exists for the development of additional highway commercial lots along Service Street.
Identification and designation of appropriate areas for both short-term and long-term future
commercial development is an important consideration for the Town as it grows.
3.2.2 Objectives and Policies
Objective 3.2.2.1: General Commercial
To ensure there is sufficient commercial land available throughout the community for a variety
of commercial land uses.
Policy (a)
The Future Land Use Concept indicates areas designated for commercial
development. The Town will consider extending commercial zoning to those
areas shown as "Future Commercial" on the Future Land Use Concept, as
demand warrants. Prior to such re-zoning, development in these areas will be
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
11
regulated to prevent development of uses which would conflict with the long-term
future use of this area.
Policy (b)
If and when sufficient land is no longer available to accommodate additional
commercial development, new commercial development will be encouraged to
locate in the areas noted as "Potential Commercial" on the Future Land Use
Concept. Prior to the build-out of land identified as Potential Commercial on the
Future Land Use Concept, noted herein, the Town shall undertake the necessary
studies and analysis to identify the lands necessary to accommodate commercial
development which will be required over the next 15-20 years.
Policy (c)
Subject to policies contained in
Section 3.9 -
Intermunicipal and
Interjurisdictional Cooperation, Council will initiate required actions to bring the
areas noted as "Potential Commercial" within the corporate limits of the Town
through municipal boundary alteration. These areas will be zoned, in the Zoning
Bylaw, for future urban development or for highway commercial uses and
compatible development when they are included within the corporate limits of the
Town. Those lands that are designated and zoned for future urban development
will be rezoned for highway commercial uses and compatible development once
the provision of municipal services has advanced to the point where additional
development in the area can be serviced in a cost-effective manner.
Policy (d)
The Zoning Bylaw shall contain commercial districts to provide opportunities for,
and distinguish between, main street and highway commercial developments. The
highway commercial district will only provide for commercial uses that serve the
travelling public which require high visibility and access, encouraging
non-highway commercial uses to locate downtown.
Policy (e)
The Town will work towards increasing the opportunities available to re-use
vacant or underutilized commercial buildings and sites in Foam Lake by
addressing the constraints that exist for potential developers.
Policy (f)
The Town will ensure that new commercial developments connect to and
complement existing and future development in Foam Lake by requiring that
concept plans be submitted to the Town of Foam Lake for approval prior to
consideration of rezoning applications associated with formal subdivision
applications.
Main Street Commercial
Objective 3.2.2.2: Main Street Commercial
To provide and promote centralized commercial development along Main Street with preference
for specific types of uses that support an accessible and pedestrian-oriented commercial district.
Policy (a)
The Town will continue to prioritize the Main Street commercial area with its
12
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
well-defined central location as a primary location for retail activity, services,
government functions and cultural activities in the community by supporting,
encouraging and facilitating the creation of a viable and clear vision for the future
development of the area.
Policy (b)
The Zoning Bylaw will contain a main street commercial district to provide for a
wide range of commercial and community service uses that will contribute
positively to the vibrancy of Main Street.
Policy (c)
A mix of land uses that will serve residents' basic daily needs and essential
services will be encouraged to locate in the Main Street commercial area. This
will provide opportunity for increased levels of overall activity in the downtown
and enable access to services by seniors or others with mobility constraints.
Objective 3.2.2.3: Main Street Commercial
To promote and enhance the attractive and viable Main Street commercial area of the Town of
Foam Lake.
Policy (a)
The character of the Main Street commercial area may be enhanced by:

Objective 3.2.2.4: Highway Commercial
To ensure that sufficient land is designated along Highway 16, for development of highway
commercial use and to promote the expansion of existing highway commercial operations and
encourage new development in the existing highway commercial area.
Policy (a)
The Zoning Bylaw will contain a highway commercial district to provide for a
wide range of highway commercial and other compatible uses which by virtue of
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
13
their scale or locational requirements are not readily suited to a downtown
location. This may include extensive site requirements, such as outdoor storage,
display, or parking requirements (ie. large trucks). Light industrial uses such as
storage, warehousing or freight and cartage operations in highway commercial
areas will be permitted at Council's discretion.
Objective 3.2.2.5: Commercial Corridors
To enhance the community's aesthetic appeal along the highway entryways and within the Main
Street commercial area.
Policy (a)
The Town will ensure that Foam Lake's commercial districts contribute positively
to the aesthetics of the Town through the use of appropriate development
standards including landscaping requirements, screening, and signage standards.
Policy (b)
The Town will ensure that commercial buildings and sites are constructed and
maintained to acceptable standards through the use of the community's Nuisance
Bylaw and Building Bylaw.

planning and building permit fee rebates; and
the promotion of the Town of Foam Lake as a place for new business
development.
3.3 INDUSTRIAL
3.3.1 Background
Industrial development is generally located along Highway 16.
Industrial development in Foam Lake largely consists of those in the agriculture sector (oil
seed milling, farm implement and supplies dealers, metal fabricating etc.), which serve
individual farmers and farm service businesses in the region.
The Town regulates the discharge of industrial waste into the sewer system through a Sewage
Works Control Bylaw.
There is currently one Town-owned serviced, undeveloped industrial lot in Foam Lake.
Identification of areas for both short-term and long-term future industrial is needed as the
Town moves forward. Providing opportunities for industrial development within Foam Lake
will assist the Town in capitalizing on new and existing economic opportunities in the region.

3.4.1 Background
The Town promotes active transportation as an In Motion community where pedestrians have
the right-of-way.
Primary vehicle access to Foam Lake is provided by Highway 16, running east / west and
Highway 310, running north / south.
Foam Lake lies along the CP main line railway route. There is currently one elevator located
within the Town boundary and another located just outside the boundary to the west, both
along the railway. Depending on location, future development and transportation networks
will need to have regard for the railway (eg. crossings, buffers etc.).
The Town owns and operates a water treatment plant (WTP). In 2006, a reverse osmosis
(RO) system was installed. According to the Town's 2015 Water System Assessment report,
the WTP is capable of servicing a population of greater than 1,268 (20+ years).
The total storage capacity of treated water is 1,515 cubic metres, well-exceeding the 20-year
projected storage requirement of 888 cubic metres. Treated water storage for consumption
and fire flow requirements is adequate for estimated long term growth (based on a 0.5%
average annual growth rate).
The Town's raw water source capacity, (Aquifer Well PW1-03) located 10.2 km southwest
will meet the annual raw water needs of the town, based on a 0.5% average annual
population growth for the next 10 - 20 years. The Town may need to investigate additional
raw water sources based on the Town's projected growth.

Town representatives have indicated that the sanitary sewer requires upgrades. The line to the
lagoon is due to be replaced and has been budgeted for in 2018. It is reported that the main
lift station #1 needs to be replaced; however, lift station #2 is in good shape and lift station
#3 has been upgraded.
The Town of Foam Lake's sewage lagoon is located to the north of the Town in the
SW-17-31-11 W2M. The population capacity of the lagoon is 2,500 people. The size of the
existing lagoon will meet the current and future needs of the community.
The Town of Foam Lake contracts out waste management services. Curbside garbage and
recycling pickup is weekly, on a biweekly rotation.
The Foam Lake and District Landfill is located just outside Town limits on Highway 310
South. The landfill was converted to a transfer station in 2016 and solid waste is transported
to the Yorkton Regional Landfill.
The Town currently utilizes MuniSoft's PubWorks program to account for tangible capital
assets; however, they are working toward development of a formal asset management plan.
Town representatives indicate that the existing stormwater system works well; however,
there are occasional blockages as a result of freeze/thaw cycles.

3.8 BIOPHYSICAL CONSIDERATIONS & HAZARDS
3.8.1 Background
The Town has experienced flooding along Milligan Creek in the past as a result of major
storm events. Other areas of flood concern include the undeveloped area north of Highway
16 on the west side of the town, as well as Letwenuk Road.
The Milligan Creek flows through the Town to the Foam Lake Heritage Marsh and
eventually into the Quill Lakes. There are two small tributaries to Milligan Creek, which
flow past Foam Lake on the east and west sides of Town.
The 1:500 year flood frequency is used to define flood hazard lands in Saskatchewan. The
Saskatchewan Water Security Agency has indicated that no flood mapping is available for
the Town of Foam Lake. As limited information is available regarding potential flood areas,
subdivision and development proposals should be evaluated by a Professional Engineer or
Hydrologist to determine peak water levels and safe building elevations.
Areas around existing waterbodies and other low areas within the Town of Foam Lake that
are not identified as potential flood prone areas have no historical data available and may be
flood prone. Extensive topographic information would be required to undertake a detailed
hydraulic study to determine the extents of a major flood event in Foam Lake.
Flood control of Milligan Creek is managed at the Milligan Creek Dam through an
agreement between the RM of Foam Lake and the Town.
The Town of Foam Lake is located within the Quill Lakes Watershed, which used to contain
two Quill Lakes, Big Quill and Little Quill. Over the last decade, water levels have risen and
formed one big lake, flooding thousands of acres of farm land and threatening infrastructure.
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
27
The situation in the Quill Lakes is one of the most complex water management issues in
Canada.
The Quill Lakes Watershed Association, a local non-profit organization composed of local
residents, was formed in 2015. The Water Security Agency has not completed a watershed
plan for the Quill Lakes Watershed.
To avoid development in hazardous areas within the town, policies discouraging
development on potentially hazardous land due to flooding and other hazards, such as
contamination, erosion, soil subsidence and slope instability are required.
The Town's water is sourced from Well PW1-03, a flowing artesian well, located 10.2 km
southwest of the water treatment plant. Protection of the Town's source water is the first step
in maintaining a safe drinking water supply for residents.
Residential development in the town is constrained by the location of the sewage lagoon in
the north and the landfill in the southwest. Sewage lagoons and landfills, as per The
Subdivision Regulations, 2014 require a 457 metre setback from residential subdivision or
other setback as required by the Approving Authorities. The existing locations are adequately
buffered by these existing land uses in terms of residential development in the long term.
The Town does not have an inventory of contaminated lands within the municipality.
A high-pressure pipeline right-of-way exists to the north of the Town posing a development
constraint.
There are currently three rail crossings located within the Town boundary. Future
development will need to have regard for development constraints related to rail traffic.
The Town of Foam Lake has an appointed coordinator who administers the Town's recently
updated Emergency Management Organization Bylaw.
The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations provides the following statement
concerning public safety:
o The Province has an interest in ensuring the safety and security of individuals,
communities and property from natural and human induced threats.
The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations provides the following statement
concerning source water protection:
o The Province has an interest in the protection of water sources that provide safe
drinking water.
3.8.2 Objectives and Policies

reserve, during the subdivision process.
28
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
Policy (a)
Development will be directed to areas believed to be capable of supporting such
development.
Policy (b)
Where subdivision or development is proposed for areas identified as Potential
Flood Prone Areas on Map 2 - Development Constraints and on the Town of
Foam Lake's Zoning District Map, or for what Council considers may be hazard
land, or on land within +/- 0.5 metres of the Safe Building Elevation as
established, the applicant may be required to submit a report, prepared by
professionals certified to assess relevant factors, to assess the geotechnical
suitability of the site, susceptibility to flooding, slope instability or other
environmental hazards, together with any required mitigation measures. Council
may refuse to authorize development on hazard land or may permit development
only in accordance with specified mitigation measures. These measures may be
attached as a condition for a development permit approval. The costs associated
with undertaking specified mitigation measure, and with providing the required
documentation relation to any specified mitigation measures will be borne by the
applicant or proponent of the proposed development.
Policy (c)
The Zoning Bylaw will contain standards for development on or near hazard
lands.
Policy (d)
Environmentally sensitive areas shall be used for public open space.
Policy (e)

Objective 3.8.2.2: Source Water Protection
To protect ground and surface water resources from contamination, to ensure a safe supply of
drinking water.
Policy (a)
The Town will ensure that development does not deplete or reduce the quality of
water resources in the broader region and protect Foam Lake's ground water
resources from contamination, by restricting development near source water.
Policy (b)
Ensure that development protects and sustains important waterbodies, waterways,
wetlands, and groundwater systems in the Town and broader region by employing
site-specific planning programs, either alone or in cooperation with other
agencies, organizations or governments. This may include limiting, restricting,
delaying or prohibiting development in proposed development areas until
site-specific planning has been completed or until the Town is satisfied that
specific development projects will sustain these areas.

Objective 3.9.2.5: Communication and Referral Process
To provide greater certainty for land use decisions where impacts cross municipal boundaries.
Policy (a)
The Town shall work collaboratively with the Rural Municipality of Foam Lake
to develop plans and processes that provide greater clarity for land use decisions
in such areas as the rural-urban fringe, regional transportation corridors, lands
within the Town that are adjacent to RM boundaries and other areas of mutual
interest.
Policy (b)
Council will work with the Rural Municipality of Foam Lake when designating or
amending future urban growth areas that are located within the RM, on the
Town's Future Land Use Concept.
Policy (c)
In an effort to provide greater certainty, transparency and inter-municipal
cooperation for future planning for the region, the Town of Foam Lake shall refer
concept plans, transportation plans, future land use map amendments for lands
located within the Rural Municipality of Foam Lake, and drainage plans that may
impact across municipal boundaries, to the Rural Municipality of Foam Lake for
32
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
review and comment.
3.10 AGRICULTURAL LAND & FRINGE AREAS
3.10.1 Background
The Town of Foam Lake is surrounded by the Rural Municipality of Foam Lake No. 276.
In areas adjacent to the Town it is important to ensure that developments do not cause
adverse effects upon existing or proposed future urban land uses or servicing requirements.
In order to ensure that future growth can occur in an orderly and planned fashion, the Town
may need to identify future development areas outside of the current Town boundaries for
long term growth.
3.10.2 Objectives and Policies
Objective 3.10.2.1:
Future Urban Land Requirements
To ensure that future urban land requirements are not restricted by the development of uses, such
as intensive livestock operations, near or within the corporate limits of the Town.
Policy (a)
The Town shall continue to work with the Rural Municipality of Foam Lake to
address and resolve issues and concerns of mutual interest.
Policy (b)
Intensive livestock operations (ILO's) shall not be permitted within the Town of
Foam Lake.
Objective 3.10.2.2:
Future Urban Development
To safeguard municipal services from incompatible land uses.
Policy (a)
The Zoning Bylaw will identify areas suitable for development within the
corporate limits of the Town not immediately required for urban development as a
"Future Urban Development" district and will identify land use restrictions and
development standards so as not to jeopardize or otherwise unduly restrict future
development.
3.11 NATURAL, CULTURAL AND HERITAGE RESOURCES
3.11.1 Background
The Town of Foam Lake borders the Touchwood Hills Upland and Whitesand Plain of the
Aspen Parkland Ecoregion of the Prairie Ecozone.
Milligan Creek flows through the town to the Foam Lake Heritage Marsh and eventually,
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
33
into the Quill Lakes. Milligan Creek is considered a recreational and cultural asset of the
town.
In 1904, as the CPR was pushing westward, the townsite of Foam Lake was established.
The Town's name of Foam Lake comes from the Irish Milligan Family, who settled
northwest of the present-day town of Foam Lake, and named a shallow body of water in the
region as Foam Lake, as froth often developed along its shores. The first buildings were
erected in 1907 and in 1908 the community was incorporated as a village. In 1924, Foam
Lake attained town status. It remains a major service and distribution centre for the
surrounding agricultural district.
The Town's roots lie within its cultural diversity of Ukrainian and Iceland heritage, and
modern day Foam Lake continues to see an increase of newcomers that contribute to the
multi-cultural diversity of the population.
There are two Designated Municipal Heritage Property within the Town of Foam Lake:
o St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church, located on Main Street, was constructed in
1910-11; and
o Foam Lake Museum, located on Bray Ave West, was constructed in 1926 for use as a
town office and fire hall.
One archaeological site has been identified to date. This site is categorized as a single human
burial, which is considered a Site of Special Nature, or SSN. For development purposes, SSN
should be avoided with at least a 100 metre buffer.
It is possible that more historic sites are locally known, but are not yet recorded and
recognized by the Heritage Conservation Branch as Heritage Property. Consultations should
be held prior to the onset of any development should it be located adjacent to or on any of
these locally-known sites.
Proposed development outside of the Town in areas deemed to have moderate or high
archaeological potential may require further heritage screening by the Heritage Resource
Branch of Saskatchewan. It is also possible that proposed development(s) located in areas
thought to have moderate or high archaeological potential may result in the recommendation
that a Heritage Resource Impact Assessment (HRIA) be undertaken. Potentially heritage
sensitive quarter sections have been identified on Map 2 - Development Constraints.
The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations provides the following statement
concerning Saskatchewan's heritage and culture:
o The Province has an interest in ensuring that Saskatchewan's culture and heritage
resources are protected, conserved and responsibly used.
The Statements of Provincial Interest Regulations provides the following statement
concerning biodiversity and natural ecosystems:
o The Province has an interest in conserving Saskatchewan's biodiversity and natural
ecosystems for present and future generations.

Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
3.11.2 Objectives and Policies
Objective 3.11.2.1: Cultural and Heritage Resource Protection
To identify and protect the heritage resources within the Town of Foam Lake, and where such
protection cannot be achieved, to implement appropriate mitigation measures.
Policy (a)
The Town will support the designation of provincial heritage and municipal
heritage buildings and sites within Foam Lake, including those owned by the
Town, as well as those owned privately.
Policy (b)
The subdivision of land on potentially heritage sensitive parcels occurs (Map 2)
shall occur in accordance with the guidelines and criteria identified by the
Heritage Conservation Branch of Saskatchewan. The costs of any required
Heritage Impact Resource Assessment to identify if any heritage resources exist
on the site, and if the developer may be required to move the proposed
development to a new location or undertake mitigative measures to receive
clearance from the Heritage Resource Branch of Saskatchewan, will be the
responsibility of the proponent of the proposed development.
Policy (c)
The Town's land use and development decisions will be sensitive to the
conservation and protection of culture and heritage resources.
Policy (d)
The Town shall consider the use of dedicated lands, such as environmental and
municipal reserve, to protect and conserve culture and heritage features, where
possible.
Policy (e)
Insofar as practical, the Town shall use the provisions set out in the Standards and
Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places to guide protection and
conservation efforts of heritage places.
Objective 3.11.2.2: Cultural and Heritage Resource Promotion
To encourage the conservation of intangible cultural resources including historically and
culturally significant landscapes, cultural facilities and events, heritage languages, community
traditions and customs, locally important arts, crafts and traditional skills.
Policy (a)
The Town may consider the development of a Municipal Cultural Plan that
identifies and maps local culture and heritage resources while creating an
awareness of the benefits of preserving and promoting culture and heritage
resources for community development purposes.
Policy (b)
The Town shall continue to support heritage and cultural events.
Policy (c)
The Town shall continue to work with the Museum Committee, community and
culture groups, service clubs, sports and recreation clubs, to promote and
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
35
celebrate the existing programs available to residents and visitors, alike.
Policy (d)
The Town will endeavour to create new partnerships with community groups with
the intention of fostering support and promoting interest in culture and heritage.

4 IMPLEMENTATION
4.1 ZONING BYLAW
The Zoning Bylaw will be the principal method of implementing the objectives and policies contained in
this Official Community Plan, and will be adopted in conjunction herewith.
4.1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the Town's Zoning Bylaw is to control the use of land providing for the amenity of the
area within Council's jurisdiction and for the health, safety, and general welfare of the inhabitants of the
Town of Foam Lake.
4.1.2 Content and Objectives
The Zoning Bylaw will implement the land use policies contained in this Official Community Plan by
prescribing and establishing zoning districts for residential uses, commercial uses, industrial uses,
community service and institutional uses, and other municipal uses. Regulations within each district will
govern the range of uses, site sizes, setbacks, building locations, off-street parking, landscaping, and so
forth.
4.1.3 Amending the Zoning Bylaw
When considering applications to amend zoning regulations or standards, or requests for the rezoning of
land, Council shall consider such proposals within the context of:
(1)
The nature of the proposal and its conformance with all relevant provisions of this Official
Community Plan.
(2)
The need to foster a rational pattern of relationships among all forms of land use and to protect all
forms of land use from harmful encroachments by incompatible uses.
(3)
The need for the form of land use proposed and the supply of land currently available in the
general area capable of meeting that need.
(4)
The capability of the existing road system to service the proposed use and the adequacy of the
proposed supply of off-street parking.
(5)
The capability of existing community infrastructure to service the proposal, including water and
sewer services, parks, schools and other utilities and community services.
4.1.4 Zoning by Agreement
(1) Where an application is made to Council to rezone land to permit the carrying out of a specified
proposal, Council may, for the purpose of accommodating the request, enter into an Agreement
with the Applicant pursuant to Section 69 of The Act.
(2) Contract Zoning permits a municipality to manage the use of a site and layout of a specific
proposed development that requires rezoning. Council may use a Contract Zone to rezone a site to
38
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
allow a proposed development, but may also restrict uses normally allowed in the zoning district
through a contract.
(3) Section 4.1.3 of this Official Community Plan shall apply in the review of applications for
rezoning by agreement.
(4) Council may enter into an agreement with the applicant setting out a description of the proposal
and reasonable terms and conditions with respect to:
(a) the uses of the land and buildings and the forms of development;
(b) the site layout and external design, including parking areas, landscaping and entry- and
exit-ways;
(c) any other development standards considered necessary to implement the proposal,
provided that the development standards shall be no less stringent than those set out in
the requested underlying zoning district.
(5) Council may limit the use of the land and buildings to one or more of the uses permitted in the
requested zoning district.
(6) Council may consider rezoning by agreement to accommodate development or subdivision
proposals when:
(a) limiting the uses within a zoning district will avoid land use conflict;
(b) it is necessary to ensure that appropriate services and infrastructure are provided.
4.1.5 Use of the Holding Symbol "H"
(1) Pursuant to Section 71 of The Act, Council may use the Holding Symbol "H" in conjunction with
any zoning district designation, to specify the use to which lands or buildings may be put at any
time that the holding symbol is removed by amendment to the Zoning Bylaw.
(2) Council may use the Holding Symbol "H" to accommodate multiple phase subdivisions and
developments.
(3) In making a decision as to whether to remove the Holding Symbol "H" by amendment to the
Zoning Bylaw, Council shall consider whether development has progressed to a point where
extension of municipal services is appropriate.
4.1.6 Bonus Provisions
(1)
To facilitate a degree of flexibility for optimal site utilization as well as encourage certain
desirable elements not normally proposed in the development process, the Zoning Bylaw may
provide for adjustments to specific development standards in exchange for commensurate
facilities, services or matters as specifically set out in the Zoning Bylaw.
(2)
In this regard, the Zoning Bylaw may provide for adjustment to density limits, parking standards,
building height, number of principal buildings on a site or other similar standards for the
provision of supportive housing units, community facilities which are owned by a non-profit
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
39
corporation or public authority, the conservation of important natural areas, the provision of
enclosed parking, and the designation of designated heritage properties.
4.2 OTHER IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS
4.2.1 Subdivision Application Review
In reviewing any application for subdivision, Council shall indicate support for such application only
when it has:
(1) Ensured that all policies and guidelines established regarding occupancy levels, development
standards and design of the subdivision, as set out in this Official Community Plan, have been
satisfied.
(2) Ensured that the application is in conformity with the Zoning Bylaw.
(3) Negotiated the terms of a servicing agreement, if required, with the applicant.
(4) Determined its wishes with respect to the dedication of lands.
4.2.2 Dedicated Lands
(1) When reviewing any application for subdivision, Council may indicate to the approving authority,
its desire to have unstable or flood-prone areas set aside as environmental reserve and/or
municipal reserve, as a condition of subdivision approval, pursuant to Section 185 of The Act.
(2) Pursuant to The Act, Council may elect to request that an approving authority require the owner
of land that is the subject of a proposed subdivision to provide money in place of all or a portion
of land that would otherwise be required to be dedicated as municipal reserve.
4.2.3 Building Bylaw
(1) Council will use its building bylaw to provide standards for the construction, repair and
maintenance of buildings in the community as well as ensuring acceptable physical conditions.
Provisions for occupancy permits and inspections can be included in the bylaw.
4.2.4 Development Levies and Servicing Fees
(1) In accordance with Section 169 of The Act, the Council may establish, by separate bylaw,
development levies for the purpose of recovering all or a part of the capital cost of providing,
altering, expanding or upgrading services and facilities associated with a proposed development
within an existing subdivided area. Such bylaw must be based on studies to establish the cost of
municipal servicing and recreational needs and on a consideration of future land use and
development and the anticipated phasing of associated public works.
(2) In accordance with Section 172 of The Act, Council may require a servicing agreement with the
proponent of a subdivision development. In order to provide overall direction and guidance in the
negotiation of individual agreements with developers, Council may establish, by resolution, a
schedule of development specifications and servicing fees. Such servicing specifications will
provide a consistent set of development standards for provision of services and works by
40
Town of Foam Lake Official Community Plan
developers within a proposed subdivision development. Subdivision servicing fees contribute in
whole or in part towards the capital costs of services within or outside the subdivision that
directly or indirectly serve the proposed subdivision. The schedule of fees will be based on the
identification of overall services and public works that the municipality anticipates will be needed
as a result of new subdivision development for a specified term. The negotiation of service fees
for individual developments will be based on a calculation of the servicing needs being created by
that individual development as a part of the municipalities overall servicing needs.
4.3 OTHER
4.3.1 Updating the Official Community Plan
Plans and projections for future development shall be monitored on an ongoing basis. Policies contained
in this Official Community Plan, including the Future Land Use Concept, shall be reviewed and updated
within five years of adoption.
4.3.2 Further Studies
As necessary, Council will undertake such studies or programs required to facilitate and encourage the
growth and development of the Town of Foam Lake.
4.3.3 Community Engagement
In addition to the requirements of The Act, provisions for public participation may be initiated which are
appropriate to the nature and scope of the planning matter being addressed. Examples of initiatives for
which the community engagement process applies includes land use issues, social issues, safety issues,
recreation issues and utility services.
For any situation where the community engagement process applies, the Town will consider the following
principles:
Municipal government decisions must be made in a context that is sensitive and responsive to
public concerns and values.
The community engagement process must demonstrate openness, honesty and transparency of
purpose, as well as the communication of the results.

Potential Flood Prone Areas
·
Potential flood areas are identified for
general information only. Subdivision
and Development proposals should be
evaluated by a Professional Engineer
or Hydrologist to determine peak water
levels and safe building elevations.
·
Areas around existing water bodies
that are not identified as potential flood
prone areas have no historical data
available and may be flood prone.
