Impact on land use and property taxes
Tax implications
The City of Regina and the R.M.
of Sherwood are discussing tax implications for the R.M. of Sherwood and
property owners that are included in the municipal boundary alteration
proposal. The City will pay to the R.M. a tax loss compensation amount, which is
yet to be negotiated. The tax impact on individual property owners will depend
upon the use of land and level of development.
If the proposed municipal
boundary alteration occurs, the City of Regina would collect taxes on the
included properties.
Land use implications
The City recommends that if
municipal boundary alteration occurs, the affected properties be zoned UH –
Urban Holding under Regina Zoning Bylaw No. 9250. The UH zone is currently
applied to areas within the City of Regina that are held to accommodate future
urban development. The lands would be rezoned through time to a more
appropriate zoning designation as development proposals are received throughout
these areas.
The UH zone is intended in part
to provide for orderly transition from agricultural land to other uses in areas
planned for eventual urban development and to ensure that future development is
compatible with local land use plans and policies. Agricultural production is a
permitted land use in the UH zone and agricultural uses that are not associated
with nuisance factors will be allowed to continue.
Particular areas of land can be
utilized by humans in diverse ways. These can include residential,
institutional, business, industrial, agricultural, forestry, park, and other
relatively natural land uses. Each of these broader categories can be further
subdivided, based on the nature and intensity of the activities that are
undertaken.
Residential land uses, for
example, can involve single-family dwellings on large or small lots, or
aggregations of multiple-unit dwellings of various sorts. The most intensive
residential land-uses are associated with clusters of apartment buildings,
which can support extremely large densities of human populations.
Institutional land uses are
mostly associated with land that is occupied by public buildings such as
schools, universities, government office buildings, art galleries, and museums.
These facilities are most commonly located in urban or suburban areas. Business
land uses are rather similar in many respects, and are mostly associated with
land that is appropriated to retail facilities of various types, and with
office buildings.
