Calgary city council continuing to deliberate housing strategy which includes plans for blanket rezoning changes

As of 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon, members of the city’s Community Development Committee are debating 21 proposed amendments to the strategy.

The proposal for blanket rezoning to R-CG in Calgary still requires public engagement and council deliberation before any changes could come into effect to legalize new missing-middle housing zoning designations. “It essentially eliminates resident engagement in the evolution of the communities that are currently zoned RC-1 and that in my mind is something that really shouldn't be entertained by council," he said. "We should always engage those people who are critical stakeholders to the evolution of their community."

According to the city’s Housing Needs Assessment, one in five Calgary households – more than 84,000 – are struggling right now to afford shelter. Rogers said she then put in an application for affordable housing, but she was shocked at the demand.
