Zoning Bylaw
dards for a building, such as lot area, lot width, building height and how far a building must be
set back from the property line. A blueprint rolls open from left to
right. The wire frame of a building animates onto the blueprint. The blueprint then rolls back to
transition to the next frame. Zoning also impacts specific parking and landscaping… Grass appears
from the bottom of the frame, followed by the hedge in the background. Clouds start to roll in from
the right of the frame. A house and shed spring up from the ground. …and the requirements for other
structures on the property. Trees pop up from the ground in the background. Everything moves down
to transition to the next frame. Zoning bylaws help us create liveable, vibrant communities. For
this reason, zoning touches on all aspects of our daily lives and the spaces we interact within the
city. A map of Regina appears and random zones get individually highlighted (i.e. residential,
business, etc.) Everything moves from left to right, transitioning to the next slide. Your vision
for our city helped shape our Official Community Plan “Design Regina”, which provides long-term
growth policies and development goals for the future. Now, the Zoning Bylaw will help move us
closer to making that vision a reality over the next 25 years. A book slides in from the left side
of the screen, and the cityscape pops out of the book. Zoning arrows with the words “25 years”
slide in from the left. Zoom in on the cityscape. We want to be Canada’s most vibrant, inclusive,
attractive and sustainable community, where people live in harmony and thrive in opportunity.
Clouds float in and a row of trees pop up from left to right. Everything moves up to transition to
the next slide. The new Zoning Bylaw fosters the development of complete neighbourhoods where
residents of all ages have the access they need to housing, work and services that enhance their
quality of life. Three icons appear. From left to right, the icons are of a house, a person sitting
at a desk and a shopping cart. The text for each icon, again from left to right, is “Housing”, “
Work” and “Services”. After a few seconds, the image of each icon disappears, and the white
background of the icons expand. This means providing flexibility for diverse types of housing and
businesses to share space in new and existing neighbourhoods, while also ensuring the unique
character of each neighbourhood is supported. Various types of office/business buildings slide into
frame following the zoning areas. On a lower plane, various types of housing slide in from the
opposite direction to form a small community within a city. Everything slides down out of frame.
For most neighbourhoods, if there are changes, they will be gradual and happen over a long period
of time. Zone Forward arrows move across the screen, adding colour to the line drawings of the
future neighbourhood development. First the top row, followed by the bottom row. The illustrations
move off the right following the Zone arrows. The Zoning Bylaw is just one of many tools used by
municipalities to realize city building goals and objective. A Zoning Bylaw book slides into frame
from the left. If you have questions about zoning, contact us. The City of Regina logo fades in.
The logo then fades out, and the zoning URL fades in. It reads “Regina.ca/zoningbylaw 306-777-7000”.
