Organization of RM of Edenwold No. 158 Zoning Bylaw
The following is intended for information only and does not form part of the RM of Edenwold No. 158 Zoning Bylaw.
The Zoning Bylaw establishes regulations for the use of land and buildings in the RM of Edenwold No. 158. It
regulates the type, location, and intensity of land uses and buildings, and outlines the process for rezoning land
and applying for permits to develop property.
The Zoning Bylaw reflects only municipal regulation and policy, including the RM's Official Community Plan (OCP).
Other bylaws, regulations, and Acts of the RM, Province of Saskatchewan, and Canada must also be observed.
The bylaw is organized into twenty-six (26) sections with group related information.
Section 1.0 contains basic information on the legal framework of the bylaw and this guide on how to use the bylaw.
Section 2.0 is a glossary of definitions providing clarification on important terms found within the bylaw.
Section 3.0 contains administrative information regarding the enforcement of the bylaw, amendment procedures,
and permitting procedures.
Section 4.0 contains general regulations for all uses and development types. These regulations supplement those
found in the specific zoning districts.
Section 5.0 contains procedures and development standards relating to discretionary uses.
Sections 6.0 - 25.0 contains specific development standards for each zoning district.
Section 26.0 contains amendments to the bylaw.

How to Determine Zoning and Regulations for a Specific Site
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 that site.
1. To determine the Zoning District of a specific site, the user must first find that site on the attached Zoning
Maps. It will be helpful to know the legal land description when reviewing the Zoning Map. All land within
the RM will fall within a colour coded Zoning District, and potentially overlay districts. A legend within the
Zoning Map will associate each colour with the appropriate Zoning District.
2. Each Zoning District will have its own chapter in the Zoning Bylaw. Look up the corresponding Zoning
District. The district will identify a list of permitted land uses, as well as uses permitted at the discretion
of council.
3. Each Zoning District will also have a table identifying the development standards (minimum areas,
building setbacks, etc.) for each permitted and discretionary land use. These standards will help guide
development within the lot or parcel as well as the creation of new parcels.
4. The land use may have specific requirements contained in the general regulations. Sections 4.0 and 5.0
will confirm if any apply to the specific land use.
5. Finally, all proposed development and zoning questions should be discussed with staff of the RM's
Planning and Development Department.
If you require assistance with the regulations or processes contained within the Zoning Bylaw, please call or visit
the RM's Planning and Development Department. The up-to-date version of the Zoning Bylaw and amendments is
located in the RM's office. This version should be consulted in all cases.

prehensively-planned, clustered, multi-parcel rural residential development. New development will be con-
sidered in this district as defined in the Official Community Plan, within the Development Overlay Area only,
where services and amenities are located in close proximity and adequate servicing can be reasonably pro-
vided. These developments will have a mix of rural character and urban services available to residents. The
development standards shall allow for the development of low-density country residential neighbourhoods.
6.1.5
Country Residential 3 (CR3): The purpose of the Country Residential 3 District (CR3) district is to
accommodate comprehensively-planned, clustered, multi-parcel rural residential development. New
development will be considered in this district as defined in the Official Community Plan, within the
Development Overlay Area only, where services and amenities are located in close proximity and adequate
servicing can be reasonably provided. These developments will have a mix of rural character and urban
services available to residents. The development standards shall allow for the development of
medium-density country residential neighbourhoods.*
6.1.6 Urban Residential 1 (R1): The purpose of the Urban Residential 1 District (R1) is to accommodate low-density
urban development exclusively within the community of Emerald Park including the future growth areas for
Emerald Park. Subdivisions considered in this district must be fully serviced and located near existing ame-
nities, with comprehensively-planned transportation networks that connect to existing or planned major
thoroughfares. These developments will be consistent with the built form of a village or town and will have
single family dwellings as the dominant housing type.
6.1.7 Urban Residential 2 (R2): The purpose of the Urban Residential 2 District (R2) is to accommodate medi-
um-density urban development exclusively within the community of Emerald Park including the future
growth areas for Emerald Park. Subdivisions considered in this district must be fully serviced and located
near existing amenities, with comprehensively-planned transportation networks that connect to existing
or planned major thoroughfares. These developments will be consistent with the built form of a village or
town and will have single family dwellings as the dominant housing type, but with some exceptions when
approved as a Discretionary Use

medium to high density urban development exclusively within the community of Emerald Park including
the future growth areas for Emerald Park. Subdivisions considered in this district must be fully serviced and
located near existing amenities, with comprehensively-planned transportation networks that connect to
existing or planned major thoroughfares. These developments will be consistent with the built form of a
town or city and will have a variety of housing types, including semi-detached, duplexes, fourplexes, town-
homes, and apartment buildings.
6.1.9 Residential Manufactured Home (RMH): The purpose of the Residential Manufactured Home District (RMH)
shall be to accommodate the development of residential neighbourhoods primarily consisting of manu-
factured, mobile or modular homes. New development will be considered in this district as defined in the
Official Community Plan, within the Development Overlay Area only, where services and amenities are lo-
cated in close proximity. Subdivisions considered in this district must be comprehensively-planned and fully
serviced.

opment of a group of commercial establishments that are designed and developed as a cohesive unit, with
common parking facilities. Signage and landscaping are designed to serve and complement the immediate
surrounding neighbourhood. Safe and efficient movement of pedestrian traffic is of equal importance to
that of vehicular traffic when developing the site layout. The SC District serves mainly local residents.
124
6.1.12 High Profile Commercial (HPC): The purpose of the High Profile Commercial District (HPC)
is to accommo-
date a wide range of commercial and light industrial activities located along major roadways providing a
high level of visibility to the travelling public. Due to their prominent location, developments in this district
are required to be visually-appealing with high-quality landscaping and architecture. There is minimal
potential for conflict with adjacent land uses, but where conflicts may arise, mitigative measures can be
implemented. The HPC District serves a variety of patrons including local residents, regional clients, and the
travelling public.
6.1.13 General Commercial (COM1): The purpose of the General Commercial District 1 (COM1) is to accommodate a
wide range of commercial and light industrial activities where potential conflict with adjacent land uses is
minimal. Size, land use intensity, and traffic generation will vary, and therefore not all commercial activities
in this district will be compatible with residential uses. The COM1 District serves mainly local residents, but
with some amenities for regional clients and the travelling public where highway access is adequate.
6.1.14 General Industrial (IND1): The purpose of the General Industrial District (IND1) is to provide areas for indus-
trial activities that have moderate potential for conflict with adjacent land uses and are not dependent on
exposure to high traffic roadways. Large outdoor space requirements may be accommodated, but sites
must maintain an acceptable degree of visual appeal including front yard landscaping and screening where
necessary. Heavy equipment may be permitted to access sites in this district where road infrastructure
allows.
6.1.15 Extraction and Heavy Industrial (EHI): The purpose of the Extraction and Heavy Industrial District (EHI)
is to provide for medium to large scale extractive and industrial uses that, due to their land requirements
and the potential for negative impacts such as noise or odour, are incompatible with other non-industrial
land uses and require geographical separation to mitigate their negative effects. This district accommo-
dates heavy industrial activities such as mining, aggregate extraction and processing and storage of raw
materials
6.1.16 Future Development (FD): The purpose of the Future Development District (FD) is to protect lands for future
development. While land is zoned to this district, agricultural uses remain the dominant land use as well as
a limited range of uses that can be easily removed when land is rezoned and ready for development.
