Parking Permits
fices and other locations for those who have a permit in the front window of their vehicles. People
who have accessible parking permits are unable to walk unassisted
for more than 50 metres. In these situations, individuals and their care providers need larger
parking stalls to load and unload devices such as walkers and wheelchairs. Unobstructed access to
sidewalk ramps is essential. Those who make the decision to illegally park in an accessible parking
stall could face a $210 fine. Failure to pay the fine will result in towing the vehicle to impound.
In addition to the fine, applicable towing and storage fees are also applied at the impound yard.
Apply for Parking Placard: If you have a temporary or permanent disability, you can request a
placard through the Saskatchewan Abilities Council to park in reserved parking spots or parking
zones. Purchase Accessible Parking Permit: The City of Regina sells parking permits to those
residents who have a valid Saskatchewan Abilities Council placard at City Hall 2476 Victoria Avenue
between 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Monday to Friday. The permit costs $12.50 per month or $150 per year
and allows you to park up to three hours at any one or two hour parking meter without depositing
any coins. However, you can only park for 15 minutes in a red capped 15 minute parking meter.
Vehicle Ownership All applicants are required to provide a driver's licence and prove vehicle
ownership by providing a valid vehicle registration. If the applicant is not the registered owner,
but is the principal operator, the applicant must provide a letter from the registered owner
declaring that the applicant is the principal operator of the vehicle (i.e. a parent owns the
vehicle but the child is the principal operator). An applicant operating an employer-owned vehicle
must provide proof of employment with the business that owns the vehicle (i.e. letter from company
on company letterhead). Parking Permit Request Form Permits

Planning
residents Creates financial sustainability through new tax revenue and larger tax base per hectare
Promotes active transportation and more choice (walking, cycling,
transit), leading to decreased traffic emissions and a healthier population Creates cost savings
and efficiencies in use of land, infrastructure and services like transit already in place Ensures
the population needed for neighbourhood schools and amenities to stay open Improves safety with
less “dead space” and more “eyes on the street” Intensification As investments are made to renew
infrastructure in the downtown area, revitalizing Scarth Street is an opportunity to go beyond
replacing what is there today and invest in a lively public life for the future. Learn more about
the City’s initiatives to welcome reinvestment, redevelopment and new residents and businesses to
the heart of our city. Intensification and Revitalization Incentive Programs The City offers grants
up to $50,000 and property tax exemptions up to 5 years for eligible intensification and
revitalization projects in City Centre, Heritage and North Central. Development Fee Waiver Since
Fall 2022, the City waives certain development application fees when an application creates
intensification on a site within City Centre, Heritage and North Central. View the fee schedule.
Data Maps The City features maps on our Open Data website, such as Road Classification Map, Water
Main Pipe Types Map, Domestic Sewer Network Map and more, which help developers understand our
infrastructure and inform development proposals at the start of a project. Backyard Suites A
recommendation from the Underutilized Land Improvement Strategy (ULIS), Backyard Suites are allowed
in most residential zones throughout Regina as of 2021. Removal of the Intensification Levy In
2021, The City removed the Intensification Levy city-wide as part of our efforts to remove barriers
to development in established areas. Housing Incentive Program An update to the Housing Incentives
Program, requiring Council approval in January 2023, aligns incentives with strategic areas, such
as City Centre, North-Central and Heritage. Building Permit Service Review The City completed a
Building Permit Service Review in 2020 and implemented many processes improvements. Since 2018, we
have reduced our processing times from 39 days to 4.77 days for residential permits and 45 days to
8.3 days for commercial permits. Our efficient, new online permit portal called eBuild was launched
in 2021. 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 A new Zoning Bylaw was approved in 2019, which set conditions for achieving
intensification on development sites and flexibility in land use. An important amendment was
removing parking minimums in Downtown. Environmental Impacted Sites The Province of Saskatchewan
website currently has a dedicated webpage on Environmental Impacted Sites online map of the public
registry of environmental impact sites, allowing users to see the location of the impacted site,
the contaminant(s) of concern and its current status. Resources for Developers to Support
Intensification Learn more about initiatives currently underway to help revitalize Regina’s core
and reach our intensification targets. Neighbourhood and Corridor Plans Neighbourhood and Corridor
Plans provide specific land use, urban design and infrastructure investment policies for defined
areas within the city. The Victoria Avenue Corridor project was completed in 2021. Corridor
rehabilitation projects are underway for Dewdney Avenue, 11th Avenue, Saskatchewan Drive Corridor
and Scarth Street. Regina Revitalization Initiative Redevelopment of the former railyards and
Taylor Field site, known as the Regina Revitalization Initiative, represents opportunities to bring
new investments to the City’s core which would increase the intensification rate. Temporary Uses
The City is exploring potential zoning bylaw amendments to allow and regulate a range of temporary
uses in certain areas of the city, such as underused parking lots for example. Underutilized Land
Improvement Strategy The Underutilized Land Improvement Strategy outlines 48 actions to address
barriers to reinvestment in vacant and underutilized lands. As of 2021, 23 actions were in progress
and 9 actions were completed, including many points mentioned above in Completed Initiatives
Supporting Intensification. Downtown Serviceability Studies In 2023, the City will begin updating
our assessments for the capacity of the water, wastewater and storm water systems in the City’s
core and determining how the systems could accommodate the addition of 10,000 residents.
Transportation Master Plan The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) is scheduled for a 5-year review in
2023. The TMP helps support intensification through policies that elevate the role of transit by
focusing intensification and transit along urban corridors. The TMP also includes plans for
supporting active transportation such as walking and cycling.
