• Blanket rezoning refers to a change (passed in May 2024) to Calgary’s Land Use Bylaw (LUB) so that much of the city’s low-density residential areas (formerly only single- or semi-detached homes) are now zoned R-CG (“Residential – Grade Oriented Infill”).

• RCG zoning allows a wider variety of housing types: rowhouses, duplexes, triplexes, secondary suites, etc.

• Importantly, with blanket rezoning, developers no longer need a site-specific public hearing to rezone individual properties in many cases

Here are the main elements of the motion to repeal:

1) Rollback of Zoning

• The motion calls for reverting the landuse bylaw back to its state before the blanket rezoning was adopted.

• Specifically, restore the zoning districts that existed prior to “Bylaw 21P2024.”

2) Grandfathering / Exceptions

• The repeal would not retroactively cancel every project: properties that already have development permits approved or currently under review would be excluded from the rollback.

• This is intended to avoid disrupting projects already in motion.

3) Additional Asks

• The motion also asks for a report on infrastructure capacity (water, sewer, stormwater) given concerns about strain under higher density.

• It requests a review of parking requirements, presumably to address local traffic and parking congestion.

• Nov 17, 2025. Executive Committee reviewed the motion. It was approved with a full Council vote: 14 for, 2 against.

• Dec 15, 2025. Council meeting. For debate. No Public Hearing

• March 2025. Council meeting and Public Hearing
