SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.0
INTRODUCTION
1.1
SHORT TITLE:
The Bylaw shall be known and may be cited as the Zoning Bylaw of the City of Moose Jaw.
1.2
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Bylaw is to regulate development in the City of Moose Jaw (the City), to
provide for the amenity of the area and for the health, safety and general welfare of the
inhabitants in the City, in accordance with the provisions of the City's Official Community Plan
(OCP).
1.3
SCOPE:
Development shall be permitted within the limits of the City of Moose Jaw only when it
conforms with this Bylaw, the City's Official Community Plan and The Planning and
Development Act, 2007 (the Act).
1.4
LEGISLATIVE INTENT:
The regulations and requirements in this Bylaw are intended to implement the objectives,
policies and strategies of the City's Official Community Plan.
1.5
EFFECT OF THE OCP IN RESPECT TO THE ZONING BYLAW
As prescribed by Section 34(2) of the Act, in the event of any conflict between part of this OCP
and the Zoning Bylaw, the inconsistent part of the Zoning Bylaw shall have no effect.
1.6
SEVERABILITY:
a.
If a court declares any portion of this Bylaw relating to a particular property, building or
structure to be invalid, that judgement shall not affect the application of that provision to
any other property, building or structure which is not specifically included in the
judgement.
b.
A declaration by a Court that a section, clause or provision of this bylaw, including
anything shown on the Zoning Map as being invalid, shall not affect the validity of the
Bylaw or any part of the Bylaw. Only the section, clause, provision or part of the Zoning
Map declared to be invalid would be affected by the judgment.
1.7
FLOOD HAZARD WARNING AND DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
This Bylaw identifies areas of flood hazard as derived from the Canada - Saskatchewan Flood
Damage Reduction Program. The degree of flood protection which is intended to be provided by
this Bylaw is considered reasonable for the regulatory purposes and is based on historical records
2
and engineering and scientific methods of study for river and lakeshore settings. Larger floods
may occur or the flood height may be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams
and bridge openings restricted by debris. This Bylaw does not imply that areas outside the flood
hazard area boundaries will be totally free from flooding or flood damages. In addition, this
Bylaw shall not create a liability on the part of, or be a cause of action against the City of Moose
Jaw or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that may result from the reliance
on this Bylaw.
1.8
SLUMP HAZARD WARNING AND DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
This Bylaw identifies areas of slump hazard as derived from the Golder and Associates
Geotechnical Report commissioned by the City. In those identified areas which are now prone
to slumping and earth movement, or which are subsequently identified as slump hazard in new
geotechnical reports received by the City, the Zoning regulations will provide for a Slump
Hazard zone. The degree of slump protection which is intended to be provided by this Bylaw is
considered reasonable for the regulatory purposes and is based on engineering and scientific
methods of study for slumping and earth movement. This Bylaw does not imply that areas
outside the slump hazard area boundaries will be totally free from slumping and earth movement.
In addition, this Bylaw shall not create a liability on the part of, or be a cause of action against
the City of Moose Jaw or any officer or employee thereof for any damages due to slumping and
earth movement that may result from the reliance on this Bylaw.

Appendix B - Direct Control Zoning Districts.
1.0
Purpose and Location
The Direct Control District 1 (DCD1) is known as the Valley View Redevelopment Area and
identified on Attachment Map No 1. It is envisaged to be a major new mixed-use development
intended to offer a wide range of residential, commercial, educational, business and employment
uses. The area will develop into a sustainable, vibrant community with unique living, working
and social experiences. It will contain a blend of uses which will gain critical mass over time to
become a major destination for citizens of Moose Jaw and a wide regional market area.
The Direct Control District is a land use regulatory tool intended to offer land use and regulatory
options for comprehensive mixed-use developments where traditional zoning districts may not
be suitable.
2.0
Objectives
The development of the Valley View infill site will:
(1) establish a vibrant, mixed-use community comprised of residential, retirement
housing, commercial, educational, business, tourism and employment uses.
123
(2) establish an active community within Valley View which will serve residents,
students, and the community, including shops, restaurants, cafes, offices, recreation
activities, cultural destinations, apartments, seniors' facilities, community services,
parks, and open spaces;
(3) adaptively re-use existing Valley View structures where economically feasible and
recognize the heritage and former use of the site.
(4) highlight and advance the use of sustainable development practices such as using
geothermal resources, solar energy, sustainable building technology and low impact
development such as bio-swales and naturalization of open spaces.
(5) provide for a healthy lifestyle by promoting all season activity on site with
dedicated areas for all season recreation and sports.
(6) design for pedestrians by providing a comprehensive design network within the site
for easy, safe, non-motorized movement.
(7) Create spaces which promote culture, social interaction, and an urban ambience to
create a "people place";
(8) establish a highly visible and accessible location that will attract commercial,
residential, and office development, providing opportunities for partnerships and
public and private investment; and
(9) develop in a manner which is compatible with and enhances the natural setting and
amenities of the Wakamow Valley, attracting people to the site for eco-tourism
activities and to celebrate nature.

along these streets.

throughout and connecting to the core area and site amenities with a series of
community park linkages. A key feature is the provision of water features which

access points; and
(2)
ensure good street and building lighting including building access, service
areas, garbage disposal, parking areas and lanes.

Through Environmental Design) principles.
4.3
Building Form and Massing
(1)
Maximum Building Height
a)
The maximum height of any building, structure, or portion thereof
within the DCD1 is 45 metres. In the interest of safety, the
maximum building height shall be 7 metres lower than the height
restrictions as determined by the Moose Jaw Airport Zoning
Regulations SOR/2002-138 (AZR) outlined below.
The Valley View site is located within the 'Outer Surface' as defined in the AZR,
as shown below.
127
The airport height restriction is determined by using the Airport Zoning Reference
Point which is at an elevation of 573.02m above sea level. Buildings located
within the Outer Surface can be no higher than 45m above the Airport Zoning
Reference Point.
The highest elevation within the DCD1 at Valley View is 565.4m. This
means that the airport height restriction is 52 metres.
(573.02m + 45m = 618.02m - 565.4m = 52.62m).
Attachment Map No. 2 shows the maximum permitted building height
by area.
b)
Solar access shall be maximized on all commercial and multi-unit
residential sites. Therefore, Building Design shall consider design
options to maximize sunlight penetration and passive solar energy
especially during the fall and winter months (September 21st and
March 21st).
