Calgary city council will debate whether or not a decision on proposed city-wide re-zoning will be put in a plebiscite as part of the 2025 municipal election at a special meeting of council on Wednesday. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jonathan Hayward.Calgary city council will debate whether or not the proposed city-wide re-zoning will be put in a plebiscite next year at a special meeting of council on Wednesday.
“The biggest issue I heard last night was stripping the democratic right of having to speak to your elected official and giving your five minutes for or against a project in your community,” she said. The rezoning proposal came as part of the City of Calgary’s Housing Strategy, which will rezone properties that currently only allow single or semi-detached homes to R-CG, R-G, or H-GO zones. This will allow duplexes and rowhouses to be built, often called “missing middle housing” by urbanists and advocates for walkable neighbourhoods.The change aims to increase the supply of housing to meet demand and reduce costs and timelines for permit approvals, according to administration.
