Review of Parking Minimums

A comprehensive review of parking regulations has not been done in Saskatoon for at least 25 years. As other Canadian cities are examining their approaches to parking, and as Saskatoon is reviewing its Zoning Bylaw, City Council has requested that Administration remove minimum parking requirements in the Zoning Bylaw. This is commonly referred to as “open option parking”. For this option, parking minimums would be removed from the Zoning Bylaw and the developer, homeowner or business would decide how much parking should be provided based on market knowledge.
