The Beltline Area Redevelopment Plan was updated to better align with other City policies and the Land Use Bylaw was amended to reflect with these changes. The four Centre City Districts and the Rules Governing Centre City Bonus Overlays have updated density and bonusing provision, which include:

Excluding three or more bedroom units from the gross floor area ratio calculation, up to a maximum of 15 per cent of the total units;

Density bonusing for conservation of heritage resources in the Heritage Commercial Concentration Areas;

Density bonusing for developments integrated into LRT or BRT transit stations; and

Density bonusing for Cash in Lieu contributions towards affordable housing.

Bylaw 21P2024 amends the Land Use Bylaw to implement the citywide rezoning to the base low density residential districts of R-CG and R-G. Parcels in Local Area Plans were rezoned to H-GO where appropriate. Other amendments were completed as part of the Rezoning for Housing work following the direction from Home is Here: The City of Calgary's Housing Strategy 2024-2030. These changes include allowing a Secondary Suite and Backyard Suite on the same parcel, deleting Rowhouse as a permitted use in R-CG, not allowing Backyard Suites with Rowhouse or Townhouse developments, changing the R-CG parking requirements, and minor amendments to the R-CG district to enable it as the base low density residential district. 

All low density residential districts that are no longer in use will be deleted from the Land Use Bylaw on January 1, 2025. A clause was added to section 22(1)(d) to ensure the continued functionality of Direct Controls districts referring to one of the deleted districts.
