Martensville West and South East Sector Plans

The City of Martensville is at a significant point with respect to growth.  Situated within the rapidly growing Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth Region, the City's population has shown potential to double over the next twenty years.

Martensville has grown from a small town with a rural atmosphere to a city with a population of 9,645 (2016 Statistics Canada).  Continued growth and the ensuing demand for residential, commercial and industrial land inside and outside the existing municipal boundaries is anticipated and the City is undertaking a number of planning initiatives to help determine the future size, urban form, and character of the community.  In 2016 the Future Growth Plan 2040 was adopted by Martensville Council to help facilitate such planning.  This plan outlines future neighborhoods, studies, bylaws and reports necessary to guide growth.

As part of the Future Growth Plan 2040, a Growth Needs Analysis was completed which examined historical and predicted population increases and the amount of land required to accommodate the anticipated future population.  Results showed that the total land area needed to support residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and recreational growth to the year 2040 ranges from 1,156 acres to 2,207 acres. 

• The proposed annexation of lands immediately adjacent to Martensville from the R.M. of Corman Park 
• High-level land uses (residential, commercial, industrial) within the identified future growth areas
• Growth Sector areas (a defined area within the future growth area) that requires the completion of a Sector Plan to initiate development of the land. 

Sector Planning is part of the City's next steps in managing growth into the future.  Sector Plans are guided by and reside under an Official Community Plan (OCP)  The Martensville OCP provides a comprehensive policy framework to guide the physical, environmental, economic, social and cultural development of the City.

• A Sector Plan provides a high-level land use and servicing framework to guide development of a large area of land. It outlines the proposed sequence of development, general land uses, density of population, general location of major transportation routes, public utilities, sequencing of development, and other matters considered necessary for development.  Sector Plans guide the preparation of subsequent concept plans for each development phase identified in the Sector Plan.
• A Concept Plan is for a smaller area of land within a Sector Plan and shows more detail at a block scale regarding land use, servicing and transportation systems.  Concept plans provide a framework to evaluate future land use re-designation (zoning) and subdivision applications.
