The City of Regina outlines standards and specifications when it comes to development of land or buildings for all uses including residential, commercial, recreational and industrial. The Zoning Bylaw published by the City of Regina provides these standards related to their land use zones and regulate the construction, reconstruction, alteration and use of buildings, structures and land for residence, business and industrial. The City also has Standard Construction Specifications that regulate the materials and work required for development which provides certainty in the end result, whether it be quality and / or aesthetically.
The reason communities have standards is to protect the integrity of the outcome of the development.
