North Industrial Suburban Development Area (SDA) is located in the province's hub city; Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Lower provincial corporate tax rates, no more provincial capital tax, and industrial lease and purchase rates which have stabilized very competitively with neighboring provinces have produced a demand for industrial property which exceeds supply. North Saskatoon Business Association (NSBA) promotes business interests in the Northern Industrial sector of Saskatoon. To date is the second largest industrial park listed at: List of industrial parks by size [1]
For zoning purposes there are four major types of zoning in the North Industrial SDA:
- Light Industrial areas comprise economic business activity which do not interfere with neighborhood community interests, and are therefore zoned IL1 districts.
- Heavy Industrial areas show industrial economic concern which may create nuisance activities during their operating day. These zones are IH areas.a[2]
- Business Park meets a business environment concerns.
- Environmental Industrial Park zoning ensures safe processing of environmentally hazardous products.[3]
