Area Structure Plans

Learn how Area Structure Plans help guide future development and find adopted and in-progress plans within the County of St. Paul.

What is an Area Structure Plan?

An Area Structure Plan (ASP) provides a framework for future development within a specific area.

The County of St. Paul is constantly evolving and continuously working on infrastructure development for future growth. An Area Structure Plan (ASP) is developed with an engineering consultant to determine the long-term land use and infrastructure planning of a defined area within a municipality. An Intermunicipal Area Structure Plan (IASP) is the same concept but as a partnership between two or more municipalities.

Below are lists of the approved and in-progress ASPs and IASPs within the County, including reports and project websites.

Adopted Area Structure Plans

The following Area Structure Plans have been adopted by the County:

Onicikiskwapowin Crossing

The purpose of this ASP is to establish a land use framework for the development of SE 3 58 11 4 within the County of St. Paul. This ASP guides the review and approval of future rezoning, subdivision, and development applications within the Plan area. The ASP was approved through Bylaw 2025-11.

A redistricting application was submitted concurrently with the ASP. The Plan proposed that part of SE 3 58 11 4 be redistricted from an Agricultural (A) District to an Industrial/Commercial (IC) District to allow for a range of industrial/commercial uses. This redistricting was also approved, through Bylaw 2025-13.

This ASP is located on the northwest corner of the intersections of Highways 652 and 29 / 36, a half mile south of St. Brides.

See the full ASP and appendix documents, including Historical Resources, Title, Geotechnical, Biophysical, Transportation, and Phase 1 Environmental Assessment.

Buffalo Trail North and South

The Town of Elk Point and the County of St. Paul have adopted two IASP: Buffalo Trail North and Buffalo Trail South.

Each IASP will guide future growth and development of lands located at the northern (Buffalo Trail North) and southern (Buffalo Trail South) gateways to Elk Point, on lands in both the Town and County.

Persons and/or companies seeking to develop within the boundaries of either Plan area are advised to review the appropriate Plan and consult with the appropriate municipality before commencing their development.

St. Paul North

The Town of St. Paul and County of St. Paul are currently looking to address the long-term planning and development of 588.4 hectares of land located adjacent to the northern end of the Town. This area includes both lands within the boundary of the Town and lands within the boundary of the County.

To address this planning and development, the Town and County are commissioning the preparation of an IASP.
