Planning and Development Report
by D. Jeanne Kimber
The
Council public hearing on the proposed repeal of the Rezoning for Housing Bylaw
was held on March 23. In 2024 this “Blanket Rezoning” changed all R-1, R-C1,
R-2 and R-C2 land use designations to R-CG. Parcels along 40 Avenue NW
or 4 Street NW were changed to H-GO. If the Repeal is approved, then
it is expected to take effect in August. The City has started work on
indicating what properties would revert.

calgary.ca/planning/projects/rezoning.html#map for an interactive map.
There
was a considerable uptick in Development Permit (DP) applications at the end of
2025 and early this year. Our understanding is that any DP Application filed
before March 23 will be grandfathered if the application is approved by August.
As
of March 13, the following applications were Under Review and Open for Comment
via the City’s Development Map (DMAP). See developmentmap.calgary.ca. Plans can
also be downloaded from the DMAP during the open comment period.

status of any of these applications can be found by searching for the DP number

search for a particular DP will indicate whether it is “Open for Comment”. Even
if you cannot submit comments online through the DMAP, you can still find out
the name and contact information of the City Planning File Manager who is
handling the application.
