Development officer Janine Fletcher noted this area is zoned for the Riverfront Market, with permitted uses including art gallery, clinic, confectionary store, fast food outlet, museum, restaurant, retail store or studio, with discretionary uses including such uses as an auditorium, bakery shop, licensed restaurant, business office or a personal service establishment.
The intent is to complement the parkway theme as the area is next to the Souris River and the boardwalk, designed to attract travelers on Highway 39 to come into the city and visit.
The Official Community Plan states that, as part of the Tatagwa Parkway Master Plan, this area “along the Souris River between the Soo Line Historical Museum and Government Road is the ‘heart of urban Weyburn’. It has a prominent profile from the highway and is the first impression most visitors receive of Weyburn.”
