City Council approved the Rezoning for Housing Bylaw with amendments on May 14. With this bylaw change R-C2 parcels will be rezoned to R-CG, and any R-C2 parcels along 40 Ave NW, 4 St NW, and Centre St will be rezoned H-GO. Administration has to revise the current Land Use Bylaw to incorporate the changes and has set August 6 as the implementation date. Videos and minutes of the Council hearing can be accessed from https://www.calgary.ca/council/meetings/agenda-minutes.html?redirect=/agendaminutes.
Here is a listing of current land use and development permit applications in Highland Park. Hearings for land use changes to R-CG or H-GO will still be proceeding for some of these applications pending the Rezoning implementation date.
• LOC2024-0083 440 32 Ave NW for a land use change to R-CG will be heard by Council on July 16.
• LOC2024-0069 3910 Centre B St NW for a land use change to R-CG is also scheduled for a public hearing at Council on July 16.
• LOC2024-0099 4016, 4020, and 4024 3 Street NW for H-GO. Two of these parcels closest to 40 Ave would be designated as H-GO because of the Rezoning bylaw approval, but the parcel at #4016 would normally be redesignated to R-CG. We have asked the File Manager about this.
