Expanding Citywide Housing Options

The City is reviewing and updating our planning policies and zoning regulations to remove barriers to housing development and enable the delivery of housing options that meet the needs of our growing city.

We are currently reviewing our Neighbourhood Plans to ensure alignment with recent Zoning and Official Community Plan amendments and Council direction to support diverse housing options city-wide. Engagement includes the Ideas Tool below and updating stakeholders like Community Associations during this process. We recognize there is a lot of content being reviewed so if groups prefer an in-person conversation, please email planning@regina.ca.

This phase of engagement concludes on August 23, 2024.


Background

This work is part of the City’s Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) Action Plan which includes 11 initiatives designed to increase local housing supply. For more information on the City's HAF Action Plan, please visit: https://www.regina.ca/home-property/housing/housing-accelerator-fund/

The five initiatives aimed at expanding citywide housing options include:

  1. Enable high-density housing development within the City Centre.

  1. Enable mid- and high-rise development along urban corridors and main transit routes.

  1. Advance the development of missing middle housing in central neighbourhoods.

  1. Support the provision of greater housing diversity in established neighbourhoods.

  1. Reduce Council approval for housing related Discretionary Use applications.


The City is advancing these initiatives in three phases over the next six months.
