Driveway Crossing (1)

A driveway crossing may be permitted in locations that meet the requirements of the Director of Engineering and Works and the guidelines in subsections (2) to (9). [2003-1]

(2)

General Location The crossing should be provided where:

(3)

(i)

movement in and out of the driveway crossing will cause as little traffic interference as possible; and

(ii)

a parking pad exists or there is a valid permit or physical evidence of intention to construct one on a private property.

Freeway or Expressway Location The crossing should not be installed to provide access to a roadway designed to function as a freeway or expressway with a designated speed limit in excess of 50 kilometres per hour.

(4)

Arterial Route Location A commercial driveway crossing would be allowed where the street is primarily fronted by commercial development and has a designated speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour.

(5)

Collector Route or Local Street Location (a)

A residential, commercial or industrial driveway crossing would be generally allowed on a collector or local street. But it is not necessary to install a driveway crossing on a local street where a rolled curb already exists, except where the Director of Engineering and Works has determined that reinforcing bars are required, in which case a new curb will be required. [2003-1]

(b)

In no case should a driveway crossing be situated: (i)

within the radii of a curb;

(ii)

closer than 7.5 metres to a street intersection as measured along the property lines from the intersection of the two property lines; or Page last amended January 2003

closer than 1.5 metres from the top of flares.

Number of Crossings A development site would normally be allowed a maximum of two one-way (such as a circle driveway) or one two-way driveway crossing per frontage.

(7)

Position of Driveway A two-way driveway crossing should be positioned at 90o to the street. A one-way commercial driveway crossing should be angled in the direction of entry or exit. The minimum angle allowable for a one-way driveway crossing is 70o. [1996/9776]

(8)

(9)

Design (a)

The width of a driveway crossing should normally be constructed to align with the driveway or parking pad on private property, and should not exceed the width specified in Figures 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 for residential, commercial and industrial driveway crossings respectively.

(b)

The driveway crossing shall be constructed to comply with the most recent City of Regina standard specifications and drawings for crossing curb, gutter, boulevard, and sidewalk.

Multiple Driveways The location and dimensions of all multiple driveways should be approved by the Director of Engineering and Works prior to installation. [1992/9250; 2003-1]

6C.11 TRANSITIONAL AREA RESIDENTIAL ZONE (TAR) 11.1

INTENT (1)

Principal Intent The principal purpose of this zone is to recognize the predominantly residential nature of the area designated by the zone and to accommodate various types of residential uses in close proximity to the Downtown. This zone is divided into low, medium and high-rise height zones in order to allow development at various heights and densities in a controlled and compatible fashion.

(2)

Low Rise District The Low Rise District has been located in the portion of this zone which contains the highest proportion of house-form buildings, and which is characterized by relatively intact streetscapes. New development in this area is to be compatible with the height, bulk, massing and siting of existing house-form buildings and will be primarily residential in use.

City of Regina Office Consolidation

Zoning Bylaw No. 9250


Page 6.34

RESIDENTIAL ZONE REGULATIONS

(3)

Chapter 6

Medium Rise District The Medium Rise District is to provide primarily for medium-rise residential land use. It will provide for the retention and development of buildings of a height intermediate between house-form buildings and existing and future high-rise apartments.

(4)

High Rise District The High Rise District is to provide primarily for high-rise residential land use.

(5)

College Avenue The College Avenue District limits the height of buildings to a maximum of 8.25 metres to 15 metres under an inclined plane to conform with the height of existing trees and house-form buildings on College Avenue, and protects important vistas from the Transitional Area to Wascana Centre. Residential accessory and service uses have been included in the zone to serve the needs of neighbourhood residents.

(6)

Commercial Uses The development of specific types of commercial uses in house-form buildings, in particular those uses which tend to be small scale, low traffic generating and compatible with the residential area, has been accommodated in the Discretionary Use category as "House-Form Commercial Buildings." These uses have been provided for in an effort to preserve the existing house-forms which, in combination with sensitive infill development, maintain the unique and often heritage-significant streetscapes.

Figure 7.5 illustrates the average pedestrian level wind conditions prevailing as of the coming into effect of this Bylaw, and assuming that all developments for which approval and preliminary approval have been granted at that time are completed.

(c)

In considering a development or use in the zone shown in Figure 7.5, Council shall take into account the degree to which existing pedestrian level wind conditions are affected and the degree to which optimum wind conditions will be achieved when the development is completed. Unacceptable wind conditions should be ameliorated to the greatest possible extent.

(d)

Figure 7.6 illustrates those areas within the Downtown, generally parks and other open spaces and street sidewalks, where pedestrian traffic is an important consideration, and where direct sunshine is of critical importance. Reference should also be made to Design Guidelines specified in this Subpart (subsection 10.8(4) below).

(e)

In considering a development or use in this zone, Council shall take into account the degree to which the proposed development will reduce the amount of direct sunshine on the areas identified in clause (d) above, with a view towards maximizing the availability of direct sunshine on such areas.

(iv)

Chapter 7

(A)

Strive for the close proximity of the entry/exit point for vehicles and the main entry/exit point for persons. Parkades used by the general public generally have an attendant who is located at the vehicle entry/exit point. Having the main stairs/elevator nearby provides some supervision.

(B)

Ingress points should be kept to a minimum and should never occur on an unsupervised lane. For difficult situations, a closed-circuit television camera network should be considered.

Accessibility: [2003-1] Ensure that all areas of the parkade are accessible to persons with disabilities as per Provincial and City standards and that parking spaces for persons with disabilities are located in a highly visible place.

(v)

Emergency: Recognize the possibility of the need for emergency vehicles and emergency personnel to gain quick access to all or any part of the facility. Multi-storey parkades should always have an easily accessible elevator.

(vi)

Sub-ground Parking: Encourage the use of sub-ground parking levels and spaces for monthly (commuter) parking. Monthly parkers generally arrive and leave within relatively restricted hours and therefore provide for a greater level of self supervision.

(vii)

Identification: Display symbols, colours, numbers or other markers clearly in order to enable persons returning from their activities to easily find their cars.

(viii) Attendant: (A)

City of Regina Office Consolidation

Ensure that attendants have direct access to toilet facilities, a telephone and a drop-safe in order to keep cash on hand to a minimum. An attendant should always be present when a parkade is open to the public. Zoning Bylaw No. 9250

(c)

encourage the provision of weather protection for pedestrians in the retail area and at or close to important Transit locations in the form of awnings, canopies and arcade areas;

(d)

encourage building faรงades at street level to be built at the property line;

(e)

encourage the provision of transparent faรงades at street level with well-lit windows. Avoid unlit blank walls;

(f)

encourage the provision of bright and colourful signs in pedestrian areas and particularly canopies and canopy signs with lighting underneath. [1992/9250]

2.2

INTENT (1)

This overlay district is designed to reduce flood losses by prescribing performance regulations and special review procedures for the development of residential and non-residential structures.

(2)

In conjunction with the Floodway Zone described in Chapter 9, this zone completes the two zone concept proposed by the Development Plan for flood damage reduction in the City. [1992/9250]

(3)

The zone boundaries are amended from time to time subject to approval by the applicable agency of the Province of Saskatchewan. Nothing in this Bylaw shall be construed as warranting that the areas outside the Floodway and Floodway Fringe Overlay Zone boundaries, or land uses permitted within those zones, shall be free from flooding or flood damage. [2004-1]

APPLICATION The provisions of this Subpart shall apply to all areas of the City identified under the Canada/Saskatchewan Flood Damage Reduction Program, and shown in the Zoning Maps, as within the floodway fringe of the Wascana Creek, Pilot Butte Creek, North Storm Channel, South Storm Channel and Chuka Creek.

10C.3 FLOOR AREA OVERLAY ZONE (F) 3.1

3.2

INTENT (1)

The Floor Area Overlay Zone is intended to restrict the floor area of buildings or structures in areas or neighbourhoods where unique conditions or unusual circumstances make the control of floor area ratio necessary to protect public safety, views, light, wind, ambient air temperature, and air.

(2)

In general, the floor area ratio determines how large a development can be on a site or lot. [1992/9250]

CALCULATION The floor area ratio is calculated as follows: floor area ratio = the total floor area in the building total area of the site or lot

3.3

APPLICATION [2002-2] (1)

3.4

Where the floor area ratio is applied, the maximum floor area ratio permitted in a Floor Area Ratio Zone is determined by the number following the letter "F" on the Zoning Maps. For example, a floor area ratio of 6 in the Designated Shopping Centre Zone will be represented on the Zoning Map as: DSC.F 6.0 [2001/10264]

10C.4 HEIGHT OVERLAY ZONE (H) 4.1

4.2

INTENT (1)

The Height Overlay Zone is intended to restrict the height of buildings or structures in areas or neighbourhoods where unique conditions or unusual circumstances make the control of height necessary to protect public safety, views, light, wind, ambient air temperature and air.

(2)

It is also intended to limit the amount of development that can occur on a site, and thus limit the demands that can be placed on public facilities or services.

(3)

It may be used to supplement or substitute for floor area ratio requirements. [1992/9250]

APPLICATION [2002-2] (1)

4.3

Where a Height Overlay Zone is established, the maximum building height permitted, expressed in metres, is determined by the number following the letter "H" on the Zoning Maps. For example, a height limit of 60 metres in the Downtown Zone will be represented on the Downtown Zoning Map as: D.H60

15B.2 GENERAL LANDSCAPE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS The following general landscape design requirements are based in part on the City of Regina policies, standards and requirements set forth in the Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy. They are based on the City's long experience in managing the urban forest and provide sound practices to follow for selecting, planting and maintaining healthy plant material. They are intended to reduce plant mortality, eliminate problems and the costs associated with them. 2.1

GENERAL PROVISIONS (1)

Responsibility of the Property Owner The property owner shall be responsible for:

(2)

(a)

installing landscaping according to the requirements described in this subpart;

(b)

maintaining such landscaping in a healthy condition so as to present a neat and orderly appearance for the life of the development; and

(c)

replacing all dead, unhealthy or missing trees and shrubs within one year with landscape material that conforms to the species selection list described in subsection 15B.2.2(3).

Safety and Security The safety and security of the public should be an integral aspect of the design and landscaping of open space.

LANDSCAPE AND BUFFER REGULATIONS

(3)

Chapter 15

Universal Access Publicly accessible open space should be designed to foster and support accessibility by all citizens. The range of abilities of persons with mental, physical and sensory disabilities shall be considered in the design of open space. This should be achieved by, but not limited to, means such as minimal grade changes, curb-cuts, ramps, railings, and contrasting materials for orientation as identified in the National Building Code.

(4)

Public Open Space Developers working on public open space such as parks, community centres and schools should refer to the Development Standards Manual and the Open Space Management Strategy for a description of the design, development and conservation guidelines that apply to public open space.

(5)

Other Requirements of the Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy Trees shall be planted in accordance with the following policies described in the Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy: (a)

Setbacks From Infrastructure Elements Trees shall not interfere with infrastructure elements such as underground utilities, street lights, traffic signs and signals, overhead power lines, public buildings or access to alleys. Infrastructure elements should be installed in accordance with the setback requirements, and in a manner that will provide sufficient space for landscaping to occur.

(b)

Places Trees Should Not Be Planted There are certain areas where trees should not be planted because they would obstruct sight lines, signs or essential services.

(c)

Tree Spacing Spacing between trees should reflect the chosen species ultimate canopy spread, the site conditions and design criteria.

(6)

Incorporating Heritage Elements Into Open Space The City of Regina encourages the installation of salvaged heritage building elements in publicly accessible open spaces in order to enhance the enjoyment of the built environment. These elements are available to applicants through the Heritage Building Materials Reuse Program.

Heritage elements may include, but are not limited to, elements of buildings, sculptures and fountains. 2.2

PLANT MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS (1)

(2)

Plant Material Sourcing (a)

All plant material shall be hardy to the Regina area and to the actual site conditions. In order to ensure that all plant material is tolerant of local growing conditions, trees and shrubs shall be propagated and grown within plant hardiness zone 3a or hardier. Refer to the Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy for a map illustrating the hardiness zones of Saskatchewan.

(b)

All plant material shall meet the horticultural standards of the latest edition of the Canadian Standards for Nursery Stock produced by the Canadian Nursery Trades Association. The Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy outlines the City of Regina policy on plant material.

Inspection and Approval of Imported Plant Material For the purpose of this chapter, imported plant material means any plant material not grown at the City of Regina Nursery. Imported plant material must be accompanied by documentation from the supplier at the point of origin confirming the plant material is free of insect pests and tree diseases. The documentation shall be submitted to the Parks and Open Spaces Department. The developer shall contact the Parks and Open Spaces Department to arrange an inspection and approval prior to planting. A minimum of 24 hours notification during regular working hours is required. The City of Regina reserves the right to order the removal and disposal of plant material it believes to be infected with insect pests or tree diseases at the property owner's expense. [2011-64]

(3)

Species Selection Species and cultivars shall be selected based on their suitability to the site and proven resistance to local tree diseases and insect pests. Tables 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3 provide a list of approved tree and shrub species and their suitability for different sites. Plant material not listed will be considered on an experimental basis.

Chapter 15

Species Diversity Diversity is an important element in preventing the spread of tree diseases and in the long-term health of the urban forest. Regina must proactively manage the species composition of its tree population to attain an acceptable species diversity. The Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy shows the approved species diversity percentage for parks, open space and boulevards.

(5)

2.3

Planting Procedures and Specifications (a)

All trees on public land and those trees on private land that are to be credited toward the site landscaping requirement shall meet or exceed the tree planting procedures and specifications described in the Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy.

(b)

Sodding, seeding and topsoil mix to be installed on public land or credited toward the site landscaping requirement shall meet or exceed the City of Regina Standard Construction Specifications.

TREE PROTECTION AND REMOVAL (1)

Protection of Existing Trees Every attempt should be made to preserve and protect existing trees and vegetation during construction. Trees should only be removed when no cost-effective alternative is available. It is the responsibility of contractors to notify the Parks and Open Spaces Department in advance of any site where construction activities will occur closer than five meters to a public tree. Where any tree on public land or trees on private land that are to be credited toward the fulfillment of the site landscaping requirement are impacted by development, the developer shall provide a Tree Preservation Plan for the site that incorporates the requirements outlined in the Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy. [2011-64] The plan shall:

SITE SUITABILITY

Notes and Codes (continued) 3

Poplar species have aggressive root systems and are generally not as long lived as other tree species. However, they are fast growing. They are not to be planted within 15 metres of private property or hard surfaces such as asphalt, concrete or brick pavers.

[DT] DROUGHT TOLERANT: Trees with this code are likely to do better in unirrigated and/or exposed sites than those trees listed in the same category without the code. Only trees with this code should be used in unirrigated areas. [H?] HARDINESS CAUTION: Trees with this symbol are less hardy than others listed in the same grouping or site type and may require a protected microclimate to survive. [IRR] IRRIGATION REQUIRED Tree to be used in irrigated areas only.

[P] PROBLEM TREE - Silver Maple/Chokecherry - suckering - Manitoba Maple produces an abundance of seedlings, has weak crotches and is a favourite of aphids which produce a sticky excrement that damages the surface of anything below. The cultivar ‘Baron’ is a seedless male selection. - Siberian Elm produces an abundance of seedlings, has weak crotches, and is generally high maintenance. However, it grows very quickly and is well adapted to a variety of conditions. - Mayday tree has a tendency to produce forking branches which cause branch splitting; is subject to attack from the forest tent caterpillar and aphids; and produces a very sticky fruit that is dropped when ripe. [ST] SALT TOLERANT: Trees with this code have a demonstrated tolerance to road salt. [X] EXPERIMENTAL TREE: Trial only; requires protected site. Hardiness is questionable.

15B.4 MAJOR ROADWAYS LANDSCAPE DESIGN AREAS 4.1

PURPOSE The purpose of the Major Roadways Landscape Design Areas is to ensure the consistent implementation of the Master Tree Planting Strategy as described in the Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy. The Master Tree Planting Strategy is intended to enhance the special characteristics, orderly development and economic viability of properties adjacent to major roadways. These streets carry high volumes of traffic and are image makers. They include ceremonial routes, gateways to the city, major arterial intersections, major arterials, and Regina Downtown (See Figure 15.5: Major Roadways Landscape Design Areas). The enhancement and conservation of these streets will be achieved through: (a)

the creation of special landscape design areas;

(b)

the development of landscape design strategies for each area;

(c)

applying the Major Roadways Landscape Design Areas as part of community planning projects; and

(d)

requiring compliance with the General Landscape Design Requirements outlined in subpart 15B.2 and the Site Landscaping Requirements outlined in subpart 15B.3.

Consequently, development in the landscape design areas must comply with both the general landscape design requirements and the specific landscape design strategies.

APPLICATION OF LANDSCAPE DESIGN AREAS (1)

The Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy provides a hierarchy of streets to assist in determining the appropriate landscape design strategies for the streetscape. The hierarchy identifies the principal nature of the street in terms of its primary function (e.g. ceremonial route, gateway, etc.). In turn, the landscape design strategies reflect the function the streets perform. The strategies are intended to complement the existing standards in the Development Standards Manual and the General Landscape Design Requirements of this Bylaw, while integrating objectives related to compatibility, livability, building, and urban design. While the strategies express intent and preferred approaches, they have flexibility in design interpretation.

(2)

The landscape design areas are intended to be used by:

(3)

(4)

City of Regina Office Consolidation

(a)

City staff involved in streetscape design, land use planning and landscape design; and

(b)

private developers, landscape architects, planners, architects and engineers involved in streetscape design and landscape design.

The landscape design strategies should be used for the landscape design of: (a)

developments within the landscape design area;

(b)

new streets;

(c)

street widenings; and

(d)

street rehabilitation projects.

The landscape design areas will apply to new developments where: (a)

site conditions do not permit application on the abutting City rightof-way; and

(b)

the requirements of the landscape design areas are used toward the fulfillment of the total site landscaping requirements (Section 15B.3.1).

Chapter 15

Application of the landscape design areas for those areas not within the authority of this Bylaw are to be implemented in consultation with the respective authorities. These areas include, but are not limited to, the Wascana Centre Zone, the Airport Zone, and provincial highways under the authority of Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation.

COMPLIANCE (1)

The Major Roadways Landscape Design Areas shall apply to all the special areas identified on Figure 15.5.

(2)

Unless specifically exempted, the requirements of the landscape design areas shall supplement and be applied in addition but not in lieu of any regulations, standards and criteria required by this Bylaw.

(3)

Application of the landscape design areas will be credited toward the fulfillment of the total site landscaping requirements described in section 15B.3.1.

THE LANDSCAPE DESIGN AREAS The following design strategies shall guide the landscape development of the landscape design areas. The design strategies within a particular landscape design area shall be consistent with the established design strategy for that area. Designs for landscape design areas within newly established areas may provide unique design solutions, but shall be consistent with the general principles for that district. Refer to the Master Tree Planting Strategy in the Regina Urban Forest Management Strategy for further details and an explanation of the design philosophy and principles for each landscape design area. (1)

Ceremonial Routes Ceremonial routes refer to street circuits within the city that link important locations or points of interest that are used for government, parade, or other ceremonial occasions. There are four ceremonial routes in the Regina Development Plan: Airport to the Legislative Grounds, Downtown (Victoria Park) to the Legislative Grounds, Downtown to Exhibition Park and the Territorial Administration Area (RCMP and Government House) to the Legislative Grounds. Landscape Design Strategy (a)

City of Regina Office Consolidation

New development along ceremonial routes shall provide informal viewing or assembly areas adjacent to the street where possible.

(b)

Primary street tree planting, those trees closest to the street, shall be comprised of flowering or ornamental trees at approximately six metres on centre, where space for new tree planting permits. Secondary street tree planting, set back from the flowering trees, shall consist of large shade trees, such as elm or ash.

(c)

Shrub planting shall consist primarily of flowering varieties.

Gateways Gateways are major entry points to the city. They provide visitors with their first impression of Regina. There are seven gateways into the city, six vehicular entries that greet traffic from north, south, east and west and one from the airport as illustrated on Figure 15.5. These entry points are to be developed to create distinct physical gateways to the city. The gateways should be designed to function successfully at night as well as in the daylight, and during the cold, leafless months as well as those seasons of full-leaf bloom. Landscape Design Strategy

City of Regina Office Consolidation

(a)

Provide an 18.0 metre x 18.0 metre minimum landscaped area adjacent to the roadway intersection. The design shall create a tall, bold, geometric pattern, using tall trees. Figure 15.6 illustrates the landscaping for gateways.

(b)

The design shall be symmetrical on either side of the Gateway Corridor.

(c)

Public art, gateway signage, or lighting may be used to create distinct physical spaces.

(d)

Tree species, form, pattern, and colour shall be distinct from the surrounding roadways.

(e)

A visibility triangle of 40 metres, measured from the outside corner of the landscaped area, shall be maintained clear of commercial signage.

(f)

Gateway plantings can be accommodated on public land on six of the seven gateways to the City. The gateway at Victoria Avenue and Prince of Wales Drive will require a combination of public and private land to satisfy the planting requirements. In this case, the developer would receive a credit for the plantings on public land toward the total site landscape requirement.
