Welcome to the official page for the St. Andrews Zoning By-law Update! This project is focused on updating and modernizing the zoning by-law to better reflect current provincial legislation, the Red River Planning District (RRPD) Development Plan, and the evolving needs of our community. The updated by-law will be easier to use, help guide sustainable growth, protect sensitive environments, and ensure St. Andrews remains a vibrant and livable place for all residents.

Why Update the Zoning By-law?
The current Zoning By-law was adopted in 2002. Since then, our community has experienced demographic shifts, new development trends, and changes in provincial and district planning policies. Updating the by-law will:
- Align local regulations with The Planning Act and Provincial Land Use Policies.
- Update zoning requirements based on the RRPD Development Plan and relevant secondary plans.
- Encourage a wider range of housing types and affordability.
- Support economic development and employment opportunities.
- Enhance environmental protection and resilience.
- Streamline development processes and reduce administrative barriers.
