Council approves Repeal of Blanket Rezoning (Land Use Bylaw 1P2007 Amendments Implementing Citywide Residential Rezoning)

On Wednesday, April 8 April,  City Council approved bylaw amendments that restore both the Land Use Bylaw Districts in Bylaw 1P2007 and the land use designation of affected parcels to their original state prior to blanket rezoning (citywide residential). These amendments will:   

• 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 bylaw takes effect; or

  • Submitted a development permit, building permit or subdivision application before the first reading of the 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.  

The changes will take effect on August 4, 2026, allowing for intake and system changes.  Applications received prior to this date will be processed in accordance with the current land use zones. 

The Administration are currently determining how additional amendments will be implemented. Information on the changes and updates will be posted shortly on calgary.ca/rezoning.
