Since October 2023, the City Building Program team has been working with Calgarians to learn what they value and experience living in Calgary, and to plan for the future of how we move, build, and use land across the city.
The City Building Program includes the Calgary Plan (merges the current Municipal Development Plan and Calgary Transportation Plan into one document), the Zoning Bylaw (currently the Land Use Bylaw), and Street Manual (currently the Complete Streets Policy and Guide). All three of these documents have been drafted based on four phases of public engagement, existing policies, Council priorities, partnering with the Indigenous community and equity-denied groups, and consultation with interested parties.
While the Calgary Plan was brought to the Infrastructure and Planning Committee and deferred until Q2 2026, the Zoning Bylaw draft is still seeking public input and feedback.
Curious to know what the Zoning Bylaw is and how it impacts you? This upcoming fifth phase of engagement will continue building awareness and education on the Zoning Bylaw and how it ties into the Street Manual and the Calgary Plan.
Your voice matters. We want to hear from you to ensure the new Zoning Bylaw meets the needs of our growing city. You can participate online or at in-person events around the city from May 5 to 31, 2025, and subscribe to our newsletter for project updates.
