A Message from the Town.
Being strategically located near the capital city of
the Province of Saskatchewan, the Town of Pilot
Butte is an ideal place for all ages hoping to live in
a small-town atmosphere while still being able to
enjoy the city lifestyle nearby. Offering the best of
both worlds is the unique advantage of Pilot Butte
and hence as Town ambassadors, we encourage
you to choose to live your lifetime here.
Town History
Over 60 known archaeological sites in the
surrounding RM, over 20 of which are in Township
17-Range 18, are evidence that the Pilot Butte
area was important for First Nations people for
hundreds and even thousands of years. Pilot Butte
was recognized in 1882 as a railway settlement,
and its development peaked in the early 1900s.
From then on, Pilot Butte supported various
industries including brick plants, railway works,
agricultural and manufacturing industries, lodging,
and mercantile investments. There are almost no
physical reminders of these years; however, the
vision and enthusiasm of the community remain
representative of those times moving forward into
the future.
The physical landscape of the Town is naturally
sandy and has a rural setting. Pilot Butte was
once known as the "Sand Capital of Canada",
where the sand and gravel deposits were utilized
in the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway
through the region in 1882. Early residents worked
on the railway or related services, and later, Pilot
Butte became their permanent residence.
Developing Community
Having started from an early railway settlement,
the Town continues to develop infrastructure and
services to support a growing population as more
residents are choosing to make Pilot Butte their
home.

In early 2010, the Town of Pilot Butte welcomed
several subdivision development proposals by
developers where 90 percent are for residential
land uses and the remaining are for commercial
and industrial establishments. Since then, the
building of single-family residential housing has
taken precedence to support the demand of those
seeking to make Pilot Butte their home. We have
learned with developers that larger lots than
those standard lots in the City of Regina are one
of the property features enticing newcomers to
invest in and to reside in Pilot Butte. But most of
all, we are delighted to hear new and long-time
residents choose Pilot Butte to give their children
and loved ones a chance to experience the small-
town lifestyle with a peaceful and friendly
ambiance.
Live Your Lifetime Here
Town of Pilot Butte ZONING BYLAW
At the same time, being close to neighbouring
Regina is truly a big factor to many as they have
easy access to employment, education, leisure,
and recreational opportunities in the city.

The Town of Pilot Butte will continue to invest
in more sustainable growth partnerships and
infrastructure developments that will provide
the community a comfortable lifestyle with a
small-town feel but full of urban services. With
a population of 2,638 and counting, the Town
desires to attract more stakeholders that can
facilitate the community of Pilot Butte in becoming
more diverse in population, housing, community
services, and economic opportunities. Pilot Butte
is indeed a fast-developing community - the Town
boasts a 23.4 percent increase in population from
2016 - 2021 according to Statistics Canada and
the 2021 census.

Community Spirit
The Town of Pilot Butte is known for having a
strong "Community Spirit" where volunteerism
and community organizations are extremely high.
Residents have opportunities to be active in many
creative ways to help the Town become more
vibrant, such as facilitating small and big-scale
activities like Pilot Butte Rodeo events, Pilot Butte
Beautification projects, and many more great
opportunities that invite community participation.
The Town of Pilot Butte desires to continue
supporting like-minded committees that make the
Town successful in promoting its physical
attributes, as well as social and cultural hubs
where all ages can choose to be involved.
Live your lifetime here...because the Town of Pilot Butte is
the community that you might have been long searching for.

How to Determine Zoning and
Regulations for a Specific Site
The guideline below is intended for information
only and does not form part of the Town of Pilot
Butte Zoning Bylaw.
The following steps will help users understand how
to identify the proper Zoning District for a specific
piece of land, what land uses are permitted
on that site, and the regulations to guide
development within the site.
1.
To determine the Zoning District of a
specific site, the user must first find that
site on the attached Zoning District Map.
It will be helpful to know the legal land
description when reviewing the Zoning
District Map. All land within the Town will
fall within a colour coded Zoning District,
and potentially overlay districts. A legend
within the Zoning District Map will associate
each colour with the appropriate Zoning
District.
2.
Each Zoning District will have its own
Section in the Zoning Bylaw. Look up the
corresponding Zoning District. The Zoning
District will identify in a list, permitted

located near provincial highways, highway
commercial, commercial zones, community
centres, institutional uses, and other areas which
may contain a medium to a higher volume of
pedestrian and vehicle flow.
11.1.2 Multiple unit dwellings or "dwelling
groups" in the form of townhouses, duplex,
triplex, fourplex, and semi-detached dwellings are
considered priority developments of this zone.
11.1.3 The R3 district may permit certain
specified service and convenience-type
commercial uses of a character unlikely to develop
excessive traffic, but which will serve the

uses may be allowed with a conditional basis but
shall be determined at discretion of the Council.
Amendments to Zoning Bylaw and OCP may be
required.

21.0 POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
LANDS OVERLAY
21.1
Where a proposed development or
subdivision is located within an area identified as
potentially hazardous, which includes potentially
unstable lands, lands where a water body or
water bodies are present, flood plains and other
flood-prone areas, environmentally sensitive areas
and lands on top of sensitive aquifers and/or
contaminated lands, Council may require the
applicant to submit a topographic survey, an
environmental site assessment, geo-technical
report, safe building elevations or other technical
information to evaluate the presence of the
potential hazard.
21.2
A copy of all Provincial and/or Federal
permits obtained by the applicant regarding
development adjacent to potentially hazardous
lands must be provided to the Town.
21.3
Where development is proposed on any
parcel of land that lies on, partially within or near
a sloped area that may be unstable or subject to
erosion, the following standards apply:
a) A detailed Site Analysis prepared by a
geotechnical engineer registered in the
Province of Saskatchewan must
accompany the Development Permit. The
site analysis shall indicate topography,
surface drainage, geological and
geotechnical conditions at the site of the
proposed development and shall evaluate
the conditions of the general area as they
relate to slope instability and erosion
hazards. Also, the site analysis must
include confirmation that the site
is suitable for development or outlines
suitable mitigation measures that will
ensure the site is suitable for development
and documents residual hazards.
b) Council may require a surveyor to
determine where the line or crest of slope
is located at the developer's expense and
the Town may require buildings to be
setback a certain distance from the line as
per recommendations from a geotechnical
engineer.
c) No new development shall be permitted in
any eroded or unstable slope area if the
proposed development will be affected by
or increase potential hazard.
d) Trees or vegetation within 20 metres of any
slope greater than 15% shall not be cleared. A
professional engineer shall be engaged at the
cost of the developer to evaluate the potential
impacts of any vegetation clearing, if
necessary.
21.4 Construction of new buildings and additions
within the floodway of any water course or water
body is prohibited. Construction of buildings and
other permanent structure may be permitted in the
flood fringe; however, all dwelling portions of
buildings shall be flood proofed up to the safe
building elevation (an elevation that is 0.5 metres
above the 1:500-year flood elevation for the site).
21.5 Where development is proposed in an area
with potentially flood-prone lands, the following
restrictions apply:
a) No development shall obstruct, increase or
otherwise adversely alter water and flood
flows and velocities.
b) There shall be no added risk to life, health
or personal safety as a result of the
development.
c) All structures and services must be
protected against flood damage and must
be fully functional during high water events
or hazard conditions.
d) Activities that alter existing slopes and may
accelerate or promote erosion or bank
instability shall be prohibited unless
appropriate mitigation measures are taken
to minimize the potential of such erosion or
instability.
e) Existing tree and vegetation cover shall be
preserved where appropriate to reduce
erosion and maintain bank stability.
21.6 Any development near potentially flood-prone
areas is subject to the following standards:
a) No person shall use any land, erect, alter
or use any building or structure within a
potential flood-prone area without a
Development Permit. The development of
any permanent building or structures
including accessory buildings is prohibited
within the floodway area, which contains
all lands within the 1:500-year flood
elevation. No Development Permit shall be
110
Town of Pilot Butte ZONING BYLAW
issued for any land use, erection,
alteration or use of any building or
structure unless the site/development
meets the safe building elevation, which
is 0.5 metres above the 1:500-year flood
elevation.
b) All buildings constructed within the flood
fringe shall be adequately flood-proofed
to an elevation of no less than 0.5 metres
above the 1:500-year flood elevation.
c) No person shall backfill, grade, deposit
earth or other material, excavate, or store
goods or materials on these lands nor
plant any vegetation parallel to the
waterflow.
d) Hazardous substances, waste, and
dangerous goods are prohibited in flood-
prone areas, as defined by the Hazardous
Substances and Waste Dangerous
Goods Regulations of the Environmental
Management and Protection Act of
Saskatchewan.
e) Residential Institutions including but
not limited to, hospitals, senior citizen
homes, homes with special care and
similar facilities, where flooding could
pose a significant threat to the safety of
the residents if evacuation becomes
necessary shall not be located within the
flood fringe.
21.7 Any development near a watercourse or
waterbody is subject to the following standards:
a) For all proposed developments located
within 200 metres of a waterbody the
develo-per shall be responsible for
obtaining and determining the 1:500 year
estimated peak water level to determine
the safe building elevation.
b) Trees or vegetation shall not be cleared
from any land within 20 metres of any
water-course, water body, escarpment,
where the removal could have a negative
impact on the water body, unless permitted by
any provincial Ministry responsible for the
management of water and the environment
(such as Water Security Agency) and the Town.
c) Unless a report by a registered
professionalengineer proves that it is safe to
waive the building setbacks the following
setbacks in Table 22 shall apply for all
developments along a coulee, ravine or valley
with or without a permanent flow of water.
Table 22. Minimum Building or Structure Setback from the Top of a Bank

21.8 In all cases, development shall be carried
out in a manner that minimizes, mitigates and
avoids impact on waterways, watersheds, water
bodies, wetlands, shore lands, aquifer and
groundwater.
21.9
Where contamination may be present on
a site proposed for development an Environmental
Site Assessment prepared by a qualified
professional shall be performed and submitted to
the Town to determine the potential contaminates
and quantities that may be present on site. Further
investigation and studies may be required by the
Town to evaluate the presence of contamination
and determine the measures to be taken to
remediate the site.
21.10
Land uses with the potential to
contaminate water sources, major wetlands,
infiltration areas, sizable water bodies and
watercourses must establish reasonable mitigation
measures to reduce or eliminate potential
contamination.
21.11
The Town may include appropriate
mitigation measures as conditions of approval
for new development that has the potential to
contaminate water sources, major wetlands,
infiltration areas, sizable water bodies and
watercourses.
21.12
A Stormwater Management Plan will
be required for land uses were run-off or spilled
contaminants may be hazardous to water supplies.
