Notice of Public hearing - Proposed Repeal of Rezoning for Housing Bylaw

Calgary City Council is considering a bylaw that would:

• Bring back the low density residential zones that existed in the land use bylaw prior to the citywide Rezoning for Housing that was approved by Council in May 2024 and came into effect on August 6, 2024.
• Change the zoning of residential properties back to what existed before the citywide Rezoning for Housing in 2024, except for properties that:  
  • Received approval for a development permit, building permit or subdivision application under R-CG, R-G, or H-GO zoning before the proposed bylaw takes effect; or 
  • Submitted a development permit, building permit or subdivision application before the first reading of the proposed bylaw; or 
  • Rezoned through an approved rezoning application applied for by the property owner after August 6, 2024. 
• Make changes to the rules in the Residential – Grade Oriented (R-CG) district, the low density residential general rules and defined uses in Land Use Bylaw 1P2007.
