Review After a permit service review in 2020, the City has reduced the time it takes to process
permits down to five business days for residential permits and eight business days for commercial
developments. Check out our online permit portal called eBuild to learn more or apply for permits
online. Downtown Neighbourhood Plan The Regina Downtown Neighbourhood Plan was developed to guide
growth and strategic investment into infrastructure, development and urban design in the Downtown.
Zoning Review City Council passed updates to The Zoning Bylaw, 2019 in 2024 and 2025 to allow for
different kinds of housing and mixed commercial land use in neighbourhoods across the City.
Temporary Uses Zoning Bylaw amendments were approved in 2024 to establish temporary land use
regulations. The regulations are meant to provide opportunities to use underutilized lands for
certain temporary activities while ensuring those temporary activities do not cause undesirable
impacts on the surrounding area. Data Maps The City provides several maps on our Open Data website,
such as Road Classification Map, Water Main Pipe Types Map and Domestic Sewer Network Map. These
maps are tools to help developers understand our infrastructure and inform development proposals at
the start of a project. Environmental Impacted Sites The Government of Saskatchewan’s Environmental
Impacted Sites webpage shows the public registry of environmental impact sites. The map on the site
allows users to see the location of the impacted site, the contaminant(s) of concern and its
current status. Resources to Support Infill Development Learn more about initiatives currently
underway to help revitalize Regina’s core and reach infill development targets in established
areas. Underutilized Land Improvement Strategy The Underutilized Land Improvement Strategy (ULIS)
outlines 42 actions to remove barriers to reinvestment in vacant and underutilized lands. After
five years, the original 2019 ULIS strategy went through a comprehensive review process and Council
approved an updated ULIS in 2025. Read the updated Underutilized Land Improvement Strategy Report
December 2025 Water & Wastewater Serviceability Study The City recently completed a Water &
Wastewater Serviceability Study. The study provides recommendations for water and wastewater
infrastructure to support long-term growth planning for infill development and new neighbourhoods.
The study identified areas of the city with sufficient water and wastewater capacity to support
growth. Watch the Serviceability Study video to learn more. Corridor and Area Plans Area and
corridor plans provide specific land use, urban design and infrastructure investment policies for
defined areas within the city. A Victoria Avenue Corridor project was completed in 2021 and the
Dewdney Avenue Corridor Revitalization project was finished in 2025. A second section of Victoria
Avenue is coming up for renewal within the next few years. The 11th Avenue Revitalization project
is currently underway. Additionally, the City is currently undertaking the Centre Square Planning
Study that will provide a framework for sustainable growth, investment and improvements in the
Centre Square area. Transportation Master Plan A review of the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) is
scheduled for 2026 to 2027. The TMP helps support higher density development through policies that
elevate transit and support more people living along major city streets. The TMP also involves
supporting active transportation such as walking and cycling. Regina Revitalization Initiative
