These are the most significant votes on major policy changes, large budget items, and decisions with substantial community impact.
Council directs Administration to report back in November 2021 with a scoping report and funding recommendations for an expanded Active and Safe Routes to School program for the 2023–2026 budget cycle. The report must identify and prioritize schools (using GIS and including those not on the current 5A map), recommend operational and capital funding needs (e.g., snow-clearing, street furniture, sidewalks, bike paths, crosswalks, pedestrian flashers, curb extensions), and set out how the City will coordinate with schools, school boards and other stakeholders to deliver the program citywide.
Council approves the terms for a grant program to convert the Barron Building to residential use and commits $7.5 million of projected 2021 operating surplus to the Fiscal Stability Reserve to support that conversion. Administration must bring a one-time 2022 budget request for these committed funds as part of the 2023–2026 budgets, return any unused money to the reserve, and report back with analysis on a possible downtown heritage incentive program.
This motion updates the fund's terms, separates the General Hospital Legacy Endowment into its own reserve, and allows the city to commit up to 100% of current and future General Hospital Legacy Reserve funds toward building the Bridgeland‑Riverside Multimodal Pedestrian Bridge. Administration is directed to return with a capital budget request through the November 2021 budget adjustment process.
Approves the Terms of Reference for a Barron Building Residential Conversion Grant Program and commits $7.5 million of projected 2021 operating surplus to the Fiscal Stability Reserve to support converting the Barron Building to residential use. Administration must return with a one-time budget request in 2022 to formally release the funds (with any unused money returned to the reserve) and report back with analysis on a possible downtown heritage incentive program.
Receives the State of Downtown Calgary 2020 report, approves the Terms of Reference for a Downtown Calgary Development Incentive Program, and directs Administration to bring Phase 2 terms by Q4 2021 and a report on program implementation and finances by Q4 2022. It also redirects and reprioritizes previously approved Cultural Municipal Sustainability Initiative funds totaling $15.5 million to support these downtown development and related priorities.
Revises the Event Centre contract terms so neither the City nor the other party must provide financial security for payment obligations, and directs administration to negotiate and sign amendments to remove those provisions with approval from the City Manager, CFO and City Solicitor. Practically, this eliminates collateral that would have protected the City if the other party defaulted and may increase the City's financial risk while simplifying the agreements.
Council gave first reading to bylaws to allow the City to borrow funds and loan up to $135 million to the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation to finance Phase 1 of the Arts Commons Transformation. It directs administration to assign CMLC as development manager, confirm Arts Commons as sponsor/operator, amend credit and development agreements (including possible future mixed-use options), adjust the loan interest rate bylaw, and keep certain financial attachments confidential until agreements are finalized.
Approves the Terms of Reference for a Downtown Calgary Development Incentive Program, receives the State of Downtown Calgary 2020 for the corporate record, and requires Administration to bring Phase 2 terms by Q4 2021 and a program implementation and financial report by Q4 2022. Also approves redirecting and reprioritizing $15.5 million from the Cultural Municipal Sustainability Initiative to support the program and downtown recovery efforts.
Directs Council to give first reading to bylaws allowing the City to incur debt and provide a loan of up to $135 million to the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation to finance Phase 1 of the Arts Commons Transformation. It also assigns CMLC as development manager, confirms Arts Commons as project sponsor/operator, requires amendments to credit and development agreements (including possible future residential or other uses subject to feasibility), and keeps certain attachments confidential until agreements are finalized.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that repeals Bylaw 26M2020, ending the city's temporary legal requirement to wear face coverings. This removes the municipal mask mandate; private businesses and other authorities may still impose their own mask rules.
Directs the Mayor, Councillors and their staff to comply with the same COVID-related workplace rules (for example masking, vaccination or testing requirements, and related leave) that apply to other city employees, to the extent allowed by law. Implementation may require legal and HR review and would standardize health protections and expectations for elected officials and their staff.
Approves Bylaw 55M2021 to amend several city bylaws and update Council governance: it allows the City Clerk to revise boards' terms of reference to match new committees, directs Administration to send upcoming reports to the new committees, disbands the Coordinating Committee of the Councillors Office and the Green Line Committee, and adjusts the November–December 2021 Council calendar to reflect the new committee structure. The practical effect is a reorganization of how Council committees are structured, how reports are routed and reviewed, and when meetings occur.
Closes the Benefit Driven Procurement pilot and adopts a Benefit Driven Procurement Strategy plus a new Public Value through Procurement policy, integrates the Supplier Code of Conduct into the Supplier Code of Conduct Administration policy, rescinds the old SEEPP policy, and requires Administration to report back by Q4 2022 on implementation. In practice this embeds ethical, sustainable and public-value criteria into how the City selects and manages suppliers, changing procurement rules and expectations for vendors.
Council approved five confidential recommendations and ordered that the report and three attachments remain confidential under FOIP sections protecting officials' advice and economic interests, while allowing the administration to communicate with affected stakeholders as needed until relevant agreements are signed; the confidentiality status is to be reviewed by January 31, 2022. Practically, this keeps details from public release for now to protect sensitive advice and business interests, but allows targeted stakeholder communication.
Approves in principle the 2021 orientation program for City Council as set out in the attached plan, allowing the planned schedule and training content for onboarding new and returning councillors to proceed. This is an administrative approval to implement council training and does not itself change city policy or make major budgetary commitments.
Council appoints Paula Overguard, Angela Chung, Doris Hall and David Morrison to the Calgary Heritage Authority, each serving a three-year term ending at the 2024 Organizational Meeting of Council. It also directs that Attachments 1–5 be kept confidential under FOIP sections 17 and 19 to protect personal privacy and confidential evaluations.
Directs Administration to prepare a bylaw amending the Procedure Bylaw to include specified procedural changes, formalize the structure and mandates of Standing Policy and Specialized Committees, and confirm that the Mayor will appoint three Councillors-at-Large to the Executive Committee. This changes how Council is organized and how committees operate, but does not itself change city budgets or service policy.
Refers a report and eight specific proposals to the City Clerk for return to Council, seeking changes to committee names, mandates and procedures. Proposals include requiring a super-majority to challenge the Chair, adding 'Transportation' to a standing committee title, moving responsibilities (e.g., economy, asset naming) to the Executive Committee, removing affordable housing from Intergovernmental Affairs, rebalancing workloads between specialized policy committees, and analyzing mayoral appointments of Executive Committee members-at-large with consideration of appointing them Deputy Mayors while serving.
Council approved updates to CP2016-03, the policy that sets rules for selecting and overseeing members of city boards, commissions and committees. The amendments clarify appointment procedures, roles, eligibility and term expectations to improve transparency and consistency in how civic bodies are filled and governed.
This amendment limits the existing requirements so they apply only inside City-owned and operated facilities and vehicles, and not elsewhere. It also delegates sole authority to end those requirements to the City Manager, meaning they remain in effect until the City Manager decides to lift them.
Directs the City Auditor's Office to hire an external firm or resource to carry out an External Assessment as recommended in the report, and uses funds from the Audit Committee's 2022 budget to pay for it. This enables an independent review of audit practices or processes to improve oversight and accountability.
Asks Elections Calgary to consider offering 'vote anywhere' advance polling—allowing voters to cast advance ballots at any designated site—at minimum at City Hall and on post-secondary campuses for the 2021 municipal election. The change is intended to improve accessibility and convenience (particularly for students and downtown workers) and would require operational adjustments like staffing, ballot tracking, and security measures.
Council will give three readings to a bylaw that allows the City to publish public works notices and property tax sale advertisements online. This changes the official method of publishing those notices so they can appear on the City's website (instead of or in addition to print), which affects how residents are informed about projects and tax sales.
Council dissolves the Pathways and Bikeways Project Steering Committee and thanks its members for their service. The committee will no longer meet or advise Council; oversight and any remaining work will be handled through other Council processes or city administration.
Provides three readings to an updated bylaw that changes how the Licence and Community Standards Appeal Board operates and adopts new qualification rules for its members. In practice this updates who can be appointed to the board and formalizes the board's governing rules for hearing appeals.
Council received the report and approved in principle adding a question to the ballot, directing staff to draft ballot wording based on Option 4 and return to the next Intergovernmental Affairs Committee for follow-up. Attachment 2 is to remain confidential under FOIP Section 21 and be reviewed by December 31, 2021.
Authorizes council to pass a bylaw that changes the rules for how City Council meetings are run and how the City signs and approves contracts. In practice this updates governance and administrative procedures (such as meeting protocols, delegation of authority, or contract approval processes) that affect how decisions and contract signings are handled.
Council thanks outgoing member Michael Sydenham, appoints Douglas Little (APEGA member) to the Urban Design Review Panel to complete a term ending at the 2021 Organizational Meeting, and orders that the related closed meeting discussions and attachments 2 and 3 remain confidential under FOIP sections for personal information and confidential evaluations. Practically, this fills a panel vacancy and preserves the privacy and confidentiality of the discussed materials.
Council will advance a bylaw to allow required public works notices and property tax sale advertisements to be posted online (taken to public hearing for three readings) and will stop placing the annual report advertisement in newspapers. This reduces newspaper advertising and shifts public notification to the city website, saving costs but potentially affecting residents who rely on print notices.
Specifies that where the Accounts Payable Policy conflicts with the main body of Bylaw 36M2021, the bylaw prevails, and updates multiple sections to replace the CCCO acronym with the City Clerk or delegate. This is an administrative clarification to remove ambiguity about legal hierarchy and who has authority to act, improving consistency in payment and procedural administration.
Adopts Bylaw 34M2021 to continue the City Treasurer position and establish Chief Financial Officer and Deputy City Treasurer as designated officers under section 210 of the Municipal Government Act, and repeals the current Banking Resolution and Bylaw 31M2004. Practically, this reorganizes and clarifies senior financial roles and legal authorities for the city's financial management and banking arrangements, consolidating oversight within city administration.
Council received the Combative Sports Commission annual report for the corporate record and approved proceeding with three readings of a proposed bylaw to amend the commission's governing bylaw. This moves forward updates to how combative sports (e.g., boxing, MMA) are regulated and how the commission is governed and overseen in Calgary.
Council directs Councillor Woolley to issue a written apology to Councillor Chu and publish that letter; it also orders the Integrity Commissioner’s report to be made public. At the same time, it keeps any related verbal discussions confidential under Section 24 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (advice from officials).
This rescinds the existing Governance Structure Office of the Councillors Policy (PAC004) and amends the City Clerk Bylaw to make the City Clerk responsible for accountability related to the Office of the Councillors and any policies referencing the Coordinating Committee of the Councillors Office (CCCO). It also directs a review of the CCCO mandate with a report and governance framework due to council by July 2021, requires the report be made public, and keeps prior closed-meeting discussions confidential under FOIP advice provisions.
Council received the review of the Councillor Expense Policy, filed the related attachments to the corporate record, and gave three readings to a proposed Councillors Expense Bylaw. This moves the bylaw toward formal adoption to set updated rules, oversight and reimbursement procedures for councillor expenses.
Council received the PWC forensic investigation report for the corporate record, approved amendments to the Code of Conduct for elected officials, and gave three readings to enact Proposed Bylaw 45M2021. This updates the rules, standards and enforcement process for councillor behaviour to improve transparency and clarify how complaints and discipline are handled.
Council approved three readings of Proposed Bylaw 33M2021 to change the Green Line Board's governing bylaw. It also directs administration to publish the report, attachments and presentation for public access while keeping the closed-meeting discussions confidential under FOIP Section 27 (privileged information).
Creates and legally recognizes the roles of Chief Financial Officer and Deputy City Treasurer while continuing the City Treasurer position, designating them as officers under the Municipal Government Act. It also repeals the existing Banking Resolution and Bylaw 31M2004, updating which offices hold financial authority and modernizing the city's financial governance documents.
Confirms that of $1,380.99 in Councillor Magliocca's hosting expenses, $348.70 are eligible and $1,032.29 are ineligible. Notes receipt of $3,762.88 in voluntary reimbursements (covering the $1,032.29 ineligible hosting and $2,730.59 for airfare upgrades) and states these payments conclude the councillor's financial obligations related to the investigation.
Council formally approved the City of Calgary's 2020 Annual Report, which summarizes the city's financial results, operations, and performance for 2020. This finalizes the report for public record and accountability to residents.
Directs the Audit Committee to review the 2020 Annual Report together with the external auditors' year-end report, recommend that Council approve the City of Calgary's 2020 Annual Report, and forward the report to the April 26, 2021 Strategic Meeting of Council. This advances formal approval and public disclosure of the City's 2020 financial and corporate performance.
Authorizes the Audit Committee to renew the city's external auditor contract effective May 1, 2021, ensuring continued independent financial audit services. It also maintains confidentiality of the closed-meeting discussions under FOIP Sections 19 and 24 to protect evaluation details and advice from officials.
Council approves the City's Privacy Charter and a Privacy Management Program Framework to guide how the city protects personal information. The City Clerk must provide annual status updates to the Priorities and Finance Committee and return with a workplan by Q4 2021, including any resource requests for the November 2021 budget adjustment.
Adds wording to Recommendation #6 in Report PUD2021-0015 to require that the City Council make the final decision only after the October 2021 municipal election. In practice this delays approval and any implementation of the proposal and its amendments until the post-election council meets.
Council approved the recommended external auditor engagement (Option 2 from the confidential attachment) and agreed that the auditors' fees will be paid from corporate costs. The proposal and related closed-meeting discussions are to remain confidential under FOIP Sections 24 and 26 until reviewed on 2022-02-25.
Council thanks Mathew Swallow for his service and appoints David Simbo, representing the technical industry or research field, to the BiodiverCity Advisory Committee for a two-year term ending at the 2022 Organizational Meeting. The motion also directs that Attachments 2 and 3 be kept confidential indefinitely under FOIP sections 17 (personal information) and 19 (confidential evaluations).
Appoints Don Fairbairn to serve as Chair of the Green Line Board for a one-year term, giving him leadership responsibility for board oversight of the Green Line project. It also directs that discussions held in closed meetings remain confidential under FOIP Sections 17 (personal privacy) and 19 (confidential evaluations), so those matters must be kept private.
Adopts the amended Terms of Reference for the city's Anti-Racism Action Committee and appoints Ariam Wolde-Giorgis and Jamilah Edwards to the committee through October 2022 (or until Council adopts an Anti-Racism Strategy). Directs that a specific attachment containing personal and evaluation information remain confidential under provincial privacy rules, allowing the committee to operate with defined membership while protecting sensitive information.
Approves the rules and purpose (Terms of Reference) for a Joint-Funding Partnership Working Group, asks the Mayor to invite the identified members, and appoints Councillors Davison, Gondek and Woolley to participate. It also directs that the related closed meeting discussions remain confidential under FOIP sections 17 and 19.
Calgary City Council formally denounces the racist, hateful, intolerant and violent statements, acts and symbols displayed on February 27, 2021, and reaffirms its commitment to building an anti-racist community. This is a public, symbolic declaration directing Council to continue to publicly condemn such behaviour as it arises; it does not by itself change laws or budgets.
Council will give three readings to an update of the City Solicitor and General Counsel bylaw, retroactively approve about $175,000 in external legal fees spent to defend councillors under a 2016 policy change, and require the City Manager to confirm whether those costs were owed under the City's duty to defend and advise on next steps if not. The related report, attachments and closed-meeting discussions are to remain confidential under FOIP s.27 until Council reports publicly.
This adds the phrase "or Council must be informed" to Section 2(D) of Bylaw 8M2021, creating an explicit requirement that Council be notified when the bylaw already allows or requires an action to occur "when necessary." Practically, it increases the obligation to inform elected members about those situations, improving transparency and oversight but does not itself change substantive powers or programs.
Directs the City Manager and City Solicitor to create rules and oversight to ensure transparency and accountability when the city pays outside legal fees and disbursements to defend Council members, including requiring reimbursement where appropriate, and to report back to Council by the end of July 2021.
Creates and approves the terms of reference for a Working Group to review how Calgary's wholly‑owned subsidiaries align with the City's shareholder expectations, receives a confidential review framework into the corporate record, defers the detailed workplan to the Feb 25, 2021 meeting, and directs that the framework remain confidential until March 1, 2021. This sets up an oversight process but does not make immediate operational or budget changes.
Council reaffirms its commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and anti‑racism and directs Administration to specifically include concerns about the Calgary Fire Department in ongoing reviews of internal practices and efforts toward cultural change. The motion also directs that the related Closed Meeting discussions be kept confidential under Sections 24 and 27 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
Approves the Audit Committee's 2021 Work Plan, setting the committee's priorities, tasks and schedule for the year, and asks Council to receive the report for the corporate record. This guides the committee's audit and oversight activities but does not directly change services or budgets.
Creates a Working Group made up of councillors, citizen members and senior city staff to manage a Shareholder Alignment Review of Calgary's wholly-owned subsidiaries. The group will define the review's terms of reference, select and oversee an external consultant, assess subsidiaries' mandates, risks, governance, finances, reporting and returns to the City, and report a framework and work plan to Audit Committee on 2021-01-28; closed meeting discussions remain confidential.
Approves the second and third readings of four borrowing bylaws, allowing the City to borrow funds as authorized in those bylaws to pay for specified capital projects and related costs. This advances formal approval to issue debt and affects the City's finances and future debt obligations.
Council authorizes a $3.4 million capital appropriation to fund the Arts Commons Transformation Project, using projected investment income from the Major Capital Projects Reserve. This releases funding to proceed with design, renovation and related project activities without drawing directly on current tax revenues.
Approves a one-time $300,000 grant from the Council Community Fund to support Phase 1 of the Silver Springs Community Association's facility addition, providing capital money for expanded community space and services. The Ward 1 office and the applicant must report back to the Priorities and Finance Committee (or successor) within 12 months of project completion for accountability.
Council approves the list of properties eligible to defer their 2021 municipal and provincial property taxes until December 31, 2022 without incurring penalties. Eligible property owners receive temporary payment relief while the city and province postpone collecting that tax revenue.
Provides $100,000 from the Council Innovation Fund to support a council-approved innovation project and requires City Administration to report back on the outcomes to the Priorities and Finance Committee (or its successor) by Q4 2022. This authorizes the spending and establishes a timeline for accountability on results.
Council asks City Administration to evaluate the project, including its overall scope and any land-related questions, and to identify possible funding sources. Administration must report back with options and analysis as part of the November 2021 budget deliberations; this does not itself approve funding.
Council approves up to $10 million in extra capital funding for the Event Centre to cover anticipated additional City costs. The money will come from projected interest income in the Major Capital Project Reserve, not from new taxes or the reserve principal.
Council abandons the proposed bylaw 125D2021 and directs city administration to develop financing options to remediate and redevelop the park site, then report back to the Community and Protective Services committee in November 2021 for consideration during the November budget deliberations. This delays any final funding decision until the formal budget process reviews the options.
Council gave first reading to bylaws to allow the City to borrow funds and loan up to $135 million to the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation to finance Phase 1 of the Arts Commons Transformation. It directs administration to assign CMLC as development manager, confirm Arts Commons as sponsor/operator, amend credit and development agreements (including possible future mixed-use options), adjust the loan interest rate bylaw, and keep certain financial attachments confidential until agreements are finalized.
Council will accept the City of Calgary's 2020 reserves and long-term liabilities balances into the corporate record and approve the operational reserve changes recommended in the SAVE Reserves Optimization business case. This formalizes adjustments to how the city manages its operational reserves and records 2020 reserve and liability levels for transparency and future financial planning.
Council approves the list of properties eligible to defer their 2021 property taxes until December 31, 2021 without penalty under the Hailstorm Property Tax Relief Program. This lets qualifying property owners delay paying 2021 taxes (to provide short-term relief after hailstorm damage) but the deferred taxes are still due by year-end.
This gives initial approval to a bylaw that would cut the City's authorized borrowing limit by $44.4 million. If adopted in later readings, the city would have $44.4M less capacity to borrow for capital projects or other debt-funded needs; this is the first procedural step and not yet final.
Council directs City Administration to change the General Hospital Legacy Fund Committee's terms of reference and to consider expanding the fund's purpose so the endowment can be used for capital infrastructure payments. Administration must report back to the Priorities and Finance Committee by its Sept 7 meeting and try to bring a related committee report forward so both items are considered together.
Council formally receives the City of Calgary Reserves and Long Term Liabilities Balances 2020 report for the corporate record and discussion. Council also approves the operational reserve changes in Attachment 3 of the SAVE Reserves Optimization Business Case (endorsed by ELT), which adjusts how operational reserves are allocated and managed and affects the city's financial flexibility and future budgeting.
Directs Council to give first reading to bylaws allowing the City to incur debt and provide a loan of up to $135 million to the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation to finance Phase 1 of the Arts Commons Transformation. It also assigns CMLC as development manager, confirms Arts Commons as project sponsor/operator, requires amendments to credit and development agreements (including possible future residential or other uses subject to feasibility), and keeps certain attachments confidential until agreements are finalized.
Council approved the second and third readings of three borrowing bylaws, authorizing the City to proceed with issuing debt under those bylaws as described in Report C2021-1078. This enables the city to borrow funds needed for the specified capital projects or refinancing identified in the report.
Council approves the attached capital projects and a $154 million increase to the capital budget, funded from sources including Offsite Levies and the Community Investment Reserve. Administration is directed to develop a phasing and construction timeline and provide a progress update to the Standing Policy Committee on Community and Protective Services by Q4 2021.
Council continues the ENMAX Legacy Parks Program through 2021–2025, re-establishes the Legacy Parks Steering Committee, and provides $500,000 one-time funding for immediate park needs. It sets an $18M cap on the ENMAX Dividend Stabilization reserve and directs how ENMAX dividends over $47M are used: if the reserve is at $18M, 100% of dividends above $47M go to parks capital and maintenance; if the reserve is below $18M, 50% of dividends above $47M go to the reserve until the $18M target is met and the remainder goes to parks. Administration is also directed to bring forward capital increases (up to $6.2M in 2022 and $1.9M in 2023) for playfield improvements and a proposal for a 2022 parks pandemic-recovery program, with funding-source analysis.
Council endorses a set of planning and budget principles and directs Administration to use them to build a decision-making framework for the 2023–2026 service plan and budget process. The principles must also be added to the next update of the city’s Multi-Year Business Planning and Budgeting Policy to ensure consistent criteria guide future budget decisions.
Council approves two one-time payments of $400,000 each from the Budget Savings Account in 2022 to keep the Beltline Aquatic & Fitness Centre and the Inglewood Aquatic Centre open in the short term. Administration will study converting the Beltline facility for integrated social recreation and report back in Q2 2022, while Inglewood must meet usage/tax-per-visit targets to remain open and will close when the Repsol specialized aquatic amenities are available.
Approves cancellation of municipal property taxes for the specific Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) and qualifying non-profit organizations listed in the report attachments. This provides targeted financial relief to the named entities and reduces City tax revenue by the amounts shown in the attachments.
Council directs $750,000 from the Cash-in-Lieu of Parking Fund to the 17 Avenue Redevelopment Program to pay for improvements on 16 Avenue SW and asks administration to finalize designs with the 17th Avenue BIA. It also moves amounts from the Cash-in-Lieu fund into the Parking Revenue Reinvestment Reserve per an attached schedule, asks for a review of the reserve's terms to allow it to earn investment income, and keeps one attachment confidential under FOIP Section 24.
Approves releasing $81 million that was previously held in the Fiscal Stability Reserve for the 2013 Southern Alberta flood recovery because the province reimbursed eligible costs, freeing those funds for other city priorities. Also files the Resilient Calgary strategy update in the corporate record and directs Administration to provide an annual progress report to the Priorities and Finance Committee.
Authorize a one-time $2.175 million operating budget from the Fiscal Stability Reserve investment income to fund the first year of a Resilient Roofing Rebate Program that subsidizes roof upgrades. Direct Calgary Building Services to report back to committee by Q2 2022 with monitoring results, lessons learned, and recommendations for future years.
Council adopts the City's 2020 annual report summarizing its investment holdings, returns and compliance with investment policy. This provides transparency and financial oversight of past-year investments but does not by itself change budgets or city services.
Requests Council approve the City of Calgary's 2020 Annual Investment Report — a summary of how city investments were managed and performed in 2020 — and place the report on the April 26, 2021 Strategic Meeting agenda. This is an oversight and informational step and does not itself change policy or allocate new funds.
This changes the city's property tax penalty rules so a 3.5% penalty is applied on July 1, 2021 for unpaid 2021 taxes, no penalty is applied on October 1, 2021, and no penalties will be imposed on prior years' unpaid taxes on January 1, February 1, and March 1, 2022. The Mayor is also asked to write to the Province asking for a similar relief program for the provincial portion of property taxes and a deferral of the city's quarterly payment schedule.
Council gave first reading to two bylaws to let the City borrow $85 million (by issuing debentures) and loan that amount to the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation to fund its capital projects; final readings are paused until required public advertising is completed, and Administration must update City-CMLC agreements to meet credit policy and documentation requirements. This enables the City to provide significant financing to CMLC subject to procedural steps.
Council gave three readings to bylaws setting the 2021 property tax, a machinery & equipment tax exemption, and the Rivers District Community Revitalization Levy rate. It also waived the 2% penalty charge and the requirement to pay missed instalments for taxpayers who join the Tax Installment Payment Plan between Jan 1 and Dec 31, 2021, reducing short-term payment burdens for those participants.
Gives final approvals (second and third readings) to three borrowing bylaws and one loan bylaw, authorizing the city to borrow money and obtain loans for capital projects or other approved purposes. This formal step enables the city to finalize those financing arrangements and proceed with funded activities.
Authorizes Council to give all three readings to the 2021 Special Tax Bylaw, which finalizes the city’s special tax rates and allows the municipality to levy and collect the 2021 special tax to fund municipal services and obligations.
Changes the administration's recommendation by replacing a fixed '50 per cent' requirement with a flexible range: at least 50% and up to 100%. This gives council/administration the authority to increase the proportion (potentially to full coverage) instead of being limited to exactly 50%.
Council approved three readings to adopt two bylaws establishing supplementary property assessments and the related tax rules for 2021; the bylaws remain in force until repealed. This allows the city to add assessments and collect taxes for property changes in 2021 (for example new construction or major improvements), so property owners who receive supplementary assessment notices may see additional tax charges.
Council approves a $162,000 funding application for the Council Innovation Fund to support innovation-related projects or initiatives, and directs city administration to provide a progress/report back to the Priorities and Finance Committee by Q4 2021. This authorizes the spending and requires a follow-up update on use and outcomes.
Council approves a $162,000 allocation from the Council Innovation Fund to support the approved innovation project(s), enabling the project to proceed. Administration is directed to report back to the Priorities and Finance Committee on the outcomes by Q4 2021 so Council can review results and accountability.
Council approves a $43,400 grant from the Council Innovation Fund to support a specific innovation project and directs City administration to report back to the Priorities and Finance Committee with the project's outcomes by Q4 2021. This authorizes the expenditure and ensures a follow-up update on results.
Directs City Administration to apply a phased tax program that limits municipal property tax increases for non-residential properties to 0% for 2021, at an estimated cost of $44 million. The cost will be covered by $3 million in unused prior phased-tax funds, $18 million originally set for the 2021 property tax rebate, and $23 million from the Fiscal Stability Reserve, reducing tax pressure on businesses while using city reserves.
Authorize Council to give three readings to proposed 2021 supplementary property assessment and tax bylaws, enabling the city to record additional assessments and collect associated taxes for 2021 for properties newly assessed or reassessed; the bylaws will remain in force until repealed.
Requires City Administration to present the final report on investment income earned from off-site levies to Council through the Priorities and Finance Committee by the third quarter of 2021. This gives Council information on revenues from those levy investments but does not itself change policy or approve spending.
Council approved readings for a set of borrowing and loan bylaws—giving full passage (first, second and third readings) to Borrowing Bylaw 1B2021 and first reading to Borrowing Bylaws 2B2021–4B2021 and Loan Bylaw 5M2021. This advances authorization for the city to borrow funds to finance capital projects and affects the city's borrowing and debt obligations as those bylaws proceed through required approvals.
Council gave three readings to bylaws that rezone about 58 hectares of land along 37 Street SW from Future Urban Development to a mix of residential, commercial, park, school, recreation, infrastructure and urban nature districts. The rezoning and accompanying guidelines (including Direct Control for specific sites) enable multi‑family housing, mixed‑use development and new educational and recreational facilities on those parcels.
Council approved closing a small 0.05 hectare section of road next to 2312 10 Avenue SW and redesignating that land from road right-of-way to Commercial Corridor 2 (C-COR2 f2.0h16). This removes the public right-of-way and allows the land to be used for commercial development under the C-COR2 rules (up to 2.0 floor area ratio and 16 m height), subject to the conditions attached to the bylaws.
This changes the land-use designation for two adjacent lots at 2819 and 2821 25 Street SW (about 0.06 ha) from a Direct Control District to Residential Contextual One/Two Dwelling (R-C2). The change replaces site-specific controls with standard R-C2 rules, allowing redevelopment or construction of one- or two-unit homes under R-C2 standards and altering the allowable building form and density on these properties.
Council adopted the official street name "Lewiston" for the applicable roadway. This means the street will be recorded as Lewiston for signage, addressing, maps and emergency response; it is an administrative naming decision and does not change land use or services.
Council officially names a new community and a street 'Osprey Hill'. This establishes the official name for maps, mailing addresses, signage, planning records and emergency services.
Directs city administration to re-evaluate the planned right-of-way for 160 Avenue N (cross-section and width) to consider reducing the road from six to four vehicle lanes and to plan a true multi-modal street with separated pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. Administration must coordinate with affected landowners/developers and update outline plans and cross-sections for review and approval by the Calgary Planning Commission.
Council filed the Calgary Planning Commission recommendations and gave three readings to Bylaw 151D2021 to redesignate four lots (about 0.21 ha) from low-profile multi-residential and commercial corridor districts to Mixed Use - General (MU-1f3.0h26). The change permits mixed residential and commercial development with up to a 3.0 floor-area ratio and roughly 26 m height, enabling denser housing and business uses on these sites.
Approves changes to the Richmond Area Redevelopment Plan and rezones a 0.12 ha site at 2137 31 Avenue SW from Residential Grade‑Oriented Infill to a Direct Control district. This permits a courtyard-style semi‑detached housing development on the lot and establishes site-specific design guidelines, with the bylaws given three readings to finalize adoption.
This replaces Schedule B of Bylaw 130D2020 by updating the city's land use map as shown in the attached amended map. Practically, it changes the land-use/zoning designations for the properties shown in Attachment 3, which may alter what types of development or uses are allowed on those parcels.
Council approved Option 2 from the confidential materials to proceed with the development of a specific Property. It also directed that the report, recommendations, attachments and presentation remain confidential under FOIP until the Property is developed, with Attachment 3 to remain confidential beyond that period.
Council gave three readings to Bylaw 54P2021 to change the Growth Management Overlay in the Belvedere Area Structure Plan. This reallocates where and when growth restrictions or capacity apply within Belvedere, affecting the timing and intensity of future development (but does not itself approve specific building projects).
Council approved changes to the Westbrook Village Area Redevelopment Plan and rezoned a 0.10 ha property at 1706 33 Street SW from medium-density residential to Mixed Use - General. The change allows higher-density mixed-use development (residential and commercial) on the site under the new floor area and height limits (including a height cap around 25 m), enabling potential redevelopment and additional housing and retail space.
Council approved changes to the Westbrook Village Area Redevelopment Plan and rezoned the 0.31 ha site at 1744 33 Street SW from Multi-Residential (M-C2) to Mixed Use - General (MU-1f4.0h26). Practically, this allows higher-density mixed-use redevelopment on the lot (more commercial/residential floor area and greater height) consistent with the updated local plan.
Changes the land use of 3404 Bow Trail SW (0.37 ha) to a Mixed Use district (MU-1f2.0h30), allowing denser mixed residential and commercial development with a 2.0 floor area ratio and a 30 height limit. This permits potential redevelopment or new buildings on the site that can include more housing and ground-floor businesses.
Changes the zoning for 206, 210 and 214 19 Street NW from low-density residential (R-C2) to Mixed Use (MU-1f3.3h19), allowing higher-density mixed residential and commercial development (up to the specified floor area and height limits). Directs Administration to refer the initial development permit for this site to the Calgary Planning Commission for decision, enabling potential new buildings and uses on these three lots.
Approves changing the zoning of 1229 20 Avenue NW from Residential Grade‑Oriented Infill to a Direct Control district so the 0.06 ha (0.14 ac) property can have two principal residential buildings on the same parcel. The change includes specific guidelines that any development must follow and allows the property owner to build or arrange two main homes where only one may have been allowed previously.
Approves changes to the Montgomery Area Redevelopment Plan and rezones a 0.06 ha property at 3019 46 Street NW from R-C1 (single‑dwelling) to R-C2 (one/two‑dwelling). This permits a second dwelling or duplex on the lot, modestly increasing local housing options and density in the Montgomery neighbourhood.
Approves changes to the Bowness Area Redevelopment Plan and rezones the 0.90 ha property at 6105 32 Avenue NW from low-profile multi-residential to a Mixed Use district. The change allows more intensive, mixed residential and commercial development (including greater density and height limits) on the site and enables redevelopment under the updated plan.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the land-use for two lots (0.06 ha) at 8102 and 8104 47 Ave NW from R-C1 (single‑detached) to R-C2 (allows one- or two‑dwelling buildings). The change permits duplexes or additional dwelling units on the site, modestly increasing local housing options and density.
Council gave the required three readings to Proposed Bylaw 57P2021 to amend the West Springs Area Structure Plan. This updates the local statutory plan for West Springs, enabling changes to land-use rules and allowing future development, zoning, or infrastructure decisions to proceed under the new plan.
Council authorizes amending the City's cost-sharing agreement with Saddleridge Limited Partnership, grants the Director of Real Estate & Development Services authority to make necessary technical changes, and sets a final recovery rate of $95,258 per gross developable hectare for Saddle Ridge Cell D (adjustable for carrying or extra construction costs). Related reports and attachments will remain confidential until the City and the developer sign the amending agreement.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the land-use for 0.06 hectares at 8806 and 8808 46 Ave NW from single‑dwelling (R-C1) to one/two‑dwelling (R-C2). This permits modestly higher residential density on those lots (for example duplexes or two separate units), enabling potential additional housing and small changes to the neighbourhood form.
Council approved amendments to the Calgary West Area Structure Plan and rezoned about 19.60 hectares at 221 101 St SW from future urban and transportation corridor designations to a mix of low-density and low-profile multi-residential districts plus zones for a school, park/community reserve, urban nature, city/regional infrastructure and a Direct Control district. The change allows phased residential development on the site along with required public amenities and infrastructure, to proceed under the attached development guidelines.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the land use designation for 5.3 hectares (about 13 acres) at 9700 Country Hills Blvd NW from Special Purpose Future Urban Development to Special Purpose Recreation. This allows the site to be developed or used for parks or recreational facilities instead of being held for future urban growth.
Council approves five new official street names — Canopy, Laurentide, Midway, Storm and Snowline — for use on maps, signs, addresses and municipal records. This formalizes naming for the affected roads so they can be used by emergency services, postal delivery and property records.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the land-use designation for about 55.05 hectares (136 acres) from 'future urban development' to allow low-density mixed housing, a school site, park/community reserve, and an urban nature area. This approval clears the way for subdivision and development of a new neighbourhood with homes, community facilities, parks and protected natural lands on that site.
Council gave three readings to amend the Richmond Area Redevelopment Plan and to re-designate about 0.19 ha (2003, 2009, 2015 22 St SW) from R-C1 to a Direct Control district. This allows site-specific rules for a low-density residential development on those lots, enabling a tailored housing project to be built under the approved guidelines.
Council gave three readings to amend the Millican‑Ogden Community Revitalization Plan and to redesignate about 4.16 hectares at 2787 and 2729 86 Avenue SE from Future Urban Development to Mixed-Use (MU-1f3.5h50) and School/Park reserve. In practical terms this allows higher-density mixed residential and commercial development on part of the site and reserves a portion for school, park, or community use, enabling future development and community amenities.
Approves a bylaw to change the zoning of 204 33 Avenue NE (two small lots) from Residential Contextual One/Two (R-C2) to Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG), allowing redevelopment for street-oriented infill housing such as townhouses or rowhouses. This permits denser, multi-unit development on the site, modestly increasing local housing options and potentially altering the immediate neighbourhood's form and character.
Council approved an amendment to the North Hill Area Redevelopment Plan and rezoned 0.06 hectares at 1030 19 Ave NW from R-C2 to R-CG. This changes the allowable land use to permit grade-oriented infill housing (such as townhouses/rowhomes), enabling denser residential redevelopment on that lot and affecting future building types and neighbourhood form.
Council approved amendments to the Killarney/Glengarry Area Redevelopment Plan and rezoned 2204 35 St SW (about 0.06 ha) from R-C2 to R-CG, allowing grade-oriented infill housing (such as rowhouses or ground-oriented multi-unit homes) instead of only single- or two-unit dwellings. The change permits a moderate increase in housing density and different housing types on that specific lot.
Reclassifies a small parcel (0.06 ha / 0.16 ac) at 2144 51 Ave SW from R-C2 (two-dwelling) to R-CG (Residential Grade-Oriented Infill). In practice this allows the property to be redeveloped for denser, ground-oriented multi-unit housing (for example townhouses or rowhouses), enabling more housing on the site and changing the allowable building form and site rules.
This gives final approval (three readings) to change the land use for about 4.87 hectares at 7888 Country Hills Boulevard NE from low-density single and multiple dwelling districts to an R‑G district. The change allows a broader mix of low-density housing types (for example townhomes, duplexes and similar forms) on the site, enabling different housing options and future development under the new zone.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the land designation of 3660 and 3690 Westwinds Drive NE (about 2.44 hectares) from one Direct Control District to a different Direct Control District with specific guidelines. Practically, this permits more types of commercial development on the site subject to the attached guidelines, which may enable new businesses or redevelopment and could increase local commercial activity and traffic.
This bylaw changes the land-use designation for a 0.57 ha property at 4239 19 Street NE from Industrial General to Industrial Commercial, allowing a broader range of commercial and light-industrial uses (such as showrooms, offices, or mixed industrial-commercial businesses). It enables future redevelopment or new development on the site that could affect local traffic, employment opportunities, and the character of the area.
Council approved giving the roadway between the eastern bank of the Bow River and 41 Street NW a dual name: Bowness Road NW / Montgomery Way NW. The decision directs updates to signage, maps and city records and will be communicated to mapping services and emergency responders so the route is identified by both names.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that redesignates about 10.31 hectares at 7697 84 Street NE from a Manufactured Home district to a Residential Low Density Mixed Housing district. This allows the land to be redeveloped with lower-density mixed housing (for example single-detached homes, duplexes, rowhouses) instead of a manufactured home park, changing future development options, density and housing types in the neighbourhood.
Changes the land-use designation for 198, 202 and 206 Saddleback Road NE from low-density residential (R-2) to a Mixed Use - General district, allowing higher-density and mixed commercial/residential development on those lots. Also directs that one attachment related to the item remain confidential for privacy reasons.
Council approved a bylaw to change the zoning of two small lots at 4025 2 Street NW (about 0.06 ha / 0.15 ac) from low-density two-dwelling (R-C2) to Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG). This allows ground-oriented infill housing types (e.g., townhouses, rowhouses, small multi-unit infill) and could enable modestly higher-density redevelopment on the site, subject to future development permits.
Requires City Administration to advance the Event Centre's development permit using the normal major-project review steps (CPAG application, detailed team review, Urban Design Review Panel, stakeholder circulation) and to bring a decision to the Calgary Planning Commission. This means the project will undergo regular technical, design and public review rather than an expedited or exceptional process.
Adopts the proposed street name 'Silverton Glen' for a new or renamed street so it will be used for official addresses, signage, mapping and mailing. This is a routine administrative naming decision and does not change land use, services, or budgets.
Council gave three readings to Bylaw 126D2021 to change the land use designation of 2.89 hectares (7.14 acres) at 235 and 210 Avenue SW from single‑detached and low‑density multi to Residential Low Density Mixed Housing (R‑G). This permits a wider range of low‑density housing types (for example duplexes, rowhouses and secondary suites) and allows future redevelopment or infill proposals under the R‑G rules.
Council granted three readings to a bylaw that changes the land-use designation of a very small parcel (about 0.006 ha) at 134 Forge Road SE from Commercial Corridor 2 to Industrial General. This legally allows industrial uses and development rules for that site instead of commercial ones, enabling potential industrial activity on the property while having limited immediate impact on the surrounding area.
Council approved a bylaw to change the land-use designation of a 0.05 ha lot at 85 Montrose Crescent from Residential One/Two Dwelling (R-C2) to Residential Grade Oriented Infill (R-CG). This allows denser, ground-oriented infill housing forms (such as townhouses or rowhouses) on the lot and could modestly increase local housing density and development options.
Council gave three readings to Bylaw 110D2021 to change the land-use for the 0.38 ha site at 11165 14 Street NE from Industrial Business (I-B) to Industrial Commercial (I-C). The redesignation allows a broader range of commercial and industrial-commercial uses and more development flexibility on the property than the previous I-B zoning.
Council approved changing the land-use designation for four parcels (about 0.87 hectares) at 1000, 2000, 3000 and 11 Royal Vista NW from Industrial Business (IB) to Industrial Commercial (I-C). This allows a broader mix of industrial and commercial uses on the site, enabling different types of businesses or development than were permitted before and potentially affecting local employment and traffic.
Changes the zoning for the property at 8104 46 Avenue NW from low-density single/duplex (R-C2) to Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG). This allows denser, ground-oriented housing (such as townhouses or rowhouses) and enables redevelopment of the lot under R-CG rules and standards.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the land-use designation of about 82.9 acres in southwest Calgary from single-family and low-density multiple dwelling zones to low-density mixed housing zones (R-G and R-Gm). This allows a wider mix of housing types (for example duplexes, townhouses and small multi-unit buildings) on the site and enables future development under the new zoning rules.
Council is approving bylaws to formally designate the Dominion Bank, the J. Frank Moodie Residence, and the North Mount Pleasant School as Municipal Historic Resources. This gives those buildings legal heritage protection, may limit future alterations or demolitions, and can make owners eligible for heritage incentives or grants.
Council gave three readings to amend the Marda Loop Area Redevelopment Plan and to redesignate six parcels at 2202-2226 33 Ave SW from M-U2 f3.0h16 to M-U2 f4.0h22, allowing taller buildings and greater floor area. Practically, this permits denser mixed-use development (more residential units and/or commercial space) on those lots and may change local building scale, shadows, and traffic.
Authorizes three readings of Bylaw 124D2021 to change land-use for the 1.94 ha site at 2848 85 St SW from Direct Control to several zones (single‑dwelling R-1s, low‑density mixed housing R-G, Special Purpose school/park/community reserve S-SPR, and Special Purpose urban nature S-UN). In plain terms, this allows future development of single‑family and low‑density housing, provision for a school/park/community reserve, and protection of natural/open space on the site, subject to subsequent development approvals.
Council adopted amendments to the West Currie Barracks master plan and approved rezoning of about 2.21 hectares from Special Purpose Recreation to two Mixed-Use district types. The change allows future mixed-use development (residential, commercial or similar) on these parcels under specified height and density limits, converting them from park/recreation designation to developable urban land.
Changes the land-use designation for a 0.35 ha site at 4640 Manhattan Road SE from Industrial General (I-G) to Industrial Commercial (I-C), allowing a broader mix of commercial and light industrial uses and different development rules. This enables potential commercial redevelopment or new business uses on the property, subject to subsequent permits and approvals.
Council approved three readings of a bylaw to change the land-use for 1615 20 Ave NW from Residential Grade-Oriented Infill to a Direct Control District, enabling a courtyard-style rowhouse development on the site with specified design guidelines. This allows the property owner to proceed with a tailored multi-unit housing project subject to those guidelines and later permitting requirements.
Council gave three readings to change the North Hill Area Redevelopment Plan and redesignate two lots at 462 20 Avenue NW from R-C2 to a Direct Control District to allow a courtyard-style rowhouse development with site-specific guidelines. The decision permits increased residential density on the 0.06 ha site and sets development rules for how the new multi-unit homes will be built.
Council gave three readings to amendments to the Banff Trail Area Redevelopment Plan and to bylaws that redesignate two small parcels (2460–2468 23 St NW and 2103–2107 24 Ave NW) from standard mixed-use to Direct Control with site-specific guidelines. This changes the land-use rules so those properties can be redeveloped for mixed-use projects under the approved guidelines (it enables future development applications but is not a building permit).
Council gave three readings to Bylaw 34P2021, formally approving amendments to the West Springs Area Structure Plan. This puts updated land-use and development rules in place for the West Springs neighbourhood, enabling future zoning and development decisions to follow the revised plan.
Changes the land-use designation for two small lots (about 0.14 acres) at 1202 19 Ave NW from a one- and two-unit residential zone to the Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG) zone. This allows denser ground-oriented housing forms (for example townhouses or rowhouses) to be built in future, enabling increased housing options and potentially altering local neighbourhood character.
Council approved Bylaw 108D2021 to change the land-use designation of a 0.26 ha parcel at 1907 26 Street SE from Special Purpose – Future Urban Development to Special Purpose – Recreation. This allows the site to be used or developed for parks and recreational purposes instead of being reserved for future urban growth.
Approve three readings of bylaws to amend the Richmond Area Redevelopment Plan and rezone 0.60 ha at 2139 26 Ave SW from R-C2 (one/two dwellings) to R-CG (residential grade-oriented infill). This change allows the property to be redeveloped for denser, ground-oriented infill housing (e.g., townhomes or rowhouses) instead of single‑ or two‑unit homes, enabling intensification in the neighbourhood.
Closes about 0.10 hectares (0.25 acres) of road adjacent to 10313 Eamon Road NW and changes its land designation from Undesignated Road Right-of-Way to Special Purpose City and Regional Infrastructure (S-CRI). This formalizes removal of the public roadway and reclassifies the parcel for city/regional infrastructure use under specified conditions, which may enable infrastructure work or future development and could affect local access.
This adopts changes to the Inglewood Area Redevelopment Plan and rezones 0.83 hectares at 1390 17 Avenue SE from Industrial Edge to a Direct Control District with site-specific guidelines, enabling mixed-use (residential and commercial) development. It permits tailored rules for design and permitted uses on that parcel, allowing new construction or conversions that will change how the site is developed and used.
Changes the Bridgeland-Riverside Area Redevelopment Plan and rezones about 2.47 hectares at 15 11A Street NE from Direct Control to Mixed Use (plus school and park/community reserve designations) with development guidelines. This allows developers to proceed with mixed-use projects (housing, shops, possible school/park space) under the new rules and may increase local housing and services in the neighbourhood.
Council adopted Bylaw 119D2021 on three readings to change the land use for the 0.79 ha site at 2020 and 2112 Crowchild Trail NW from a Direct Control district to a Mixed Use Active Frontage (MU-2) district. This allows redevelopment under MU-2 rules — enabling higher-density, mixed residential and commercial development with active street-level uses and the height/density limits specified in the MU-2 designation.
This directs City staff to create a Mobility and Event Management plan and accompanying budget for the Rivers District. The plan will outline how the city will handle transportation, traffic, transit access, and event operations in the area and will form the basis for future project work and funding requests.
Council approves the key deal terms for the Development Management Framework (Attachment 2) and directs City administration to negotiate, sign, and amend all required legal agreements. This lets staff finalize contracts and take required actions to implement the development plan, subject to content approval by the City Manager and CFO and legal form approval by the City Solicitor and General Counsel.
Council directs city staff to work with the community and stakeholders to develop a revised plan and program for the expanded Richmond Green park and to report back to the Standing Policy Committee on Community and Protective Services by Q3 2022. This begins the planning and consultation process and does not itself approve funding or construction.
Replaces Section 10 to set a default maximum building height of 20.0 metres with lower height limits near certain property lines and lanes (18.0 m next to multi‑residential parcels, 15.0 m along a west lane, 18.0 m along a north lane with a specific 15.0 m reduction for the northwest corner area). Balconies are excluded from height calculations. In practice this reduces allowable building mass close to neighbouring parcels and lanes, affecting building design and form on the affected lots.
Council gave readings to amend the Hillhurst/Sunnyside Area Redevelopment Plan and redesignate five Gladstone Road properties to a Direct Control District so a multi-unit residential project can be built while keeping a historic building. The motion also updates design guidelines (chamfers and setbacks) and advances the amended bylaw through second and third readings to finalize the change.
Council decided to abandon Bylaw 31D2021, the proposed amendment to the Land Use Bylaw tied to application LOC2020-0199/CPC2021-0092. Practically, the proposed zoning change will not go forward, the existing land use rules remain for the site, and any development or permit changes dependent on that amendment are halted.
Council supports the City submitting an application to the Minister of Municipal Affairs to change the AVPA regulation for the specific site at 2003 16 St SE so it can be used for residential purposes. If the Minister approves the site-specific amendment, it would permit residential development at that address and allow follow-up planning and permitting steps.
This directs Calgary Municipal Land Corporation to obtain all required approvals, including shareholder approval, so it can meet its obligations for the Rivers District project as set out in Report C2021-1164 and the referenced agreements. Practically, it authorizes CMLC to pursue the permissions needed to advance implementation of the Rivers District development.
Council gave three readings to amend the South Calgary/Altadore Area Redevelopment Plan and to redesignate 0.11 ha (0.28 ac) at 1624 and 1628 33 Avenue SW from lower-density residential and mixed-use to a higher-density Mixed Use - General (MU-1f3.5h20) district. The change allows increased floor area and building height on the site, enabling denser mixed-use redevelopment (e.g., taller residential or commercial buildings).
Council authorized giving all three readings to Proposed Bylaw 46P2021, which adopts the attached amendments to the City's Land Use Bylaw 1P2007. If passed, these amendments change the rules that govern zoning and development approvals as specified in the attached document, allowing the new land-use regulations to take effect.
Council approved amendments to the Mission Area Redevelopment Plan, scheduled a public hearing, and advanced a rezoning to a new Direct Control district for four parcels at 306–312 25 Avenue SW. The bylaw was amended to specify the payment required to gain additional floor area, the updated bylaw was given final readings, and an earlier draft bylaw was filed and abandoned.
Replaces the original 1984 +15 Policy with an amended Plus 15 Policy and requires Administration to update all related bylaws, policies and plans by Q1 2022. Practically, this changes the rules that guide downtown elevated pedestrian connections and will affect future building and planning requirements for linking to the Plus 15 network.
Changes the land-use designation for 4024 2 Street NW (about 0.06 ha) from Residential Contextual One/Two Dwelling (R-C2) to Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG). This allows denser, ground-oriented infill housing (e.g., rowhouses or small multi-units), enabling potential redevelopment with more units and different building form that could affect neighborhood character, parking, and housing supply.
Council approves updated rules that define the purpose, membership, and responsibilities of the Foothills Athletic Park Development Assessment Committee. This clarifies how the committee will review and guide development proposals for the park and how it will operate going forward.
Council gave three readings to amend the Chinatown Area Redevelopment Plan and to redesignate several parcels on 2 Avenue SW and 3 Avenue SW from one Direct Control district to another with specific guidelines. In practice this permits and sets rules for mixed-use redevelopment (commercial and residential) on those sites, enabling new construction consistent with the updated area plan.
Council will give three readings to Proposed Bylaw 32P2021 to change the Canada Olympic Park and Adjacent Lands Area Structure Plan. Approving the bylaw updates the local land-use framework and enables future development, servicing and infrastructure decisions to proceed under the revised plan.
Council gave three readings to amend the Hillhurst/Sunnyside Area Redevelopment Plan and to redesignate the 0.98-hectare site at 1724 Westmount Boulevard NW to a Direct Control District with development guidelines.

Changes the land-use designation for about 6.54 hectares (16.16 acres) at 7055 84 Street NE from transportation/infrastructure uses to a Special Purpose Urban Nature district, which guides the site to be preserved or managed for natural/park uses and limits development for roads or major infrastructure.
Council approved giving three readings to amend the Hounsfield Heights/Briar Hill Area Redevelopment Plan and to change the zoning of 1922 and 1924 10 Avenue NW from R-C1 to R-C1N. The change updates the area plan and allows those two lots to be redeveloped under the Residential Contextual Narrow Parcel rules, enabling infill or single‑dwelling development on narrower lots consistent with the updated plan.
Council approved changing the land designation of about 0.81 hectares (2.0 acres) at 80 Mahogany Road SE from Commercial Community 2 to a Direct Control district with specific guidelines to permit a self-storage facility. This lets the property owner build and operate storage units on the site and alters the permitted uses and potential local traffic and land-character impacts.
Changes the land designation of the 0.06 ha site at 1501 23 Avenue NW from a one- or two-dwelling district to a multi-residential, grade-oriented district, allowing multi-unit housing (such as rowhouses or low-rise units). This increases the site's potential housing density and alters permitted uses and building form, but does not itself approve a specific development application or allocate funds.
Replaces the Building Scale map in Bylaw 18P2020 with a revised Map 4 provided at the meeting and fixes small mapping inconsistencies where 31 Avenue NE connects to 6 Street NE. This updates the official planning map used to guide development and zoning decisions in the affected areas but does not itself approve specific development projects.
Council approved first reading and amendments to the proposed North Hill Communities Local Area Plan but will withhold final readings until the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board approves it. After final adoption the City will rescind related special studies and repeal four existing area redevelopment plans, changing the planning framework and development rules for the North Hill neighbourhoods.
This updates Section 2.2 of Bylaw 18P2020 by swapping the current Map 4: Building Scale for a revised version. The change updates the official map that sets expected building height and massing across parts of the city, which may affect development approvals and design rules in areas where the map has been altered.
Gives three readings to a bylaw that changes 1.18 hectares at 55 Elmont Drive SW from a Direct Control zoning to R-1 single‑dwelling residential. This allows the property to be developed under rules for single‑detached homes rather than the previous site‑specific control, enabling residential building consistent with R-1 standards.
Creates a pilot allowing 10–30 residents or corporations to install temporary front driveway covers from Nov 1, 2021 to Mar 31, 2022, with participants clustered nearby. The City will engage immediate neighbours, use a follow-up survey to assess neighbourhood impacts, may spend up to $100,000 from the Planning and Development Reserve, and must report back to the Standing Policy Committee on Planning and Urban Development by Q2 2022.
Council adopts the Richmond Green Needs Assessment (except replacing recommendation #12) and requires any proceeds from a Richmond Green land sale to be used for park improvements, including creating a new Master Plan, replacing lost ball diamonds from Parcel A, and remediating/redeveloping the Operations Workplace Centre (OWC). It also approves a $7.429 million increase in the 2022 capital budget funded from the Real Estate Services Reserve, directs Administration to develop and begin implementing the Master Plan (and necessary remediation work) using sale proceeds, requires alternatives be returned if land use is denied, and keeps Attachment 3 confidential until May 1, 2026.
Council will give three readings to bylaws that change the city's Land Use Bylaw (1P2007) and will adopt updated Child Care Service Policy and Development Guidelines. Practically, this finalizes changes to land-use rules and establishes new guidance for where and how child care facilities can be sited and developed in Calgary.
Council adopted a bylaw to re-designate about 99.26 hectares (245.5 acres) from Future Urban Development to a Direct Control District so a large power generation facility can be located there under specific guidelines. This enables industrial development on the site and will affect future land use, local infrastructure needs, and environmental considerations in the area.
This approves changing the land-use designation for 240 32 Avenue NE (two lots) from R-C2 (low-density single/duplex) to R-CG (grade-oriented infill). The redesignation allows denser, street-oriented infill housing (e.g., rowhouses or small multi-unit buildings), enabling redevelopment or additional dwelling units on the site.
This approves changing the land-use for a 7.86-hectare site at 14119 52 Street NE so part is designated Industrial Outdoor (permitting outdoor industrial activities) and part is designated Special Purpose Urban Nature (to protect natural/open space). The decision allows future industrial development on the I-O portion while preserving the S-UN portion for environmental or green-space purposes, affecting future development and local land use.
Council approved the medium- and long-term recommendations for the West and East segments of 16 Avenue N.W. and received the short-term recommendations for information. It also directed Administration to maintain a 10.363 m bylaw setback along the south side of 16 Avenue N.W. in Montgomery (between 46 Street and MacKay Road) so that space can be used flexibly for public space, guiding future design and uses of the corridor.
Replaces the old 1984 +15 policy by adopting a new Plus 15 policy and directs city administration to update any bylaws, policies and plans affected by this change by Q1 2022. Practically, this updates the rules for the downtown elevated pedestrian (+15) network and related building and development requirements, which will affect future approvals, design expectations and how the network is managed.
Approves moving development capacity under the city's Growth Management Overlay as outlined in the attached proposal and business cases, and directs staff to draft and advertise a bylaw to amend the relevant Area Structure Plan so the reallocation can be considered at a public hearing on Sept 13, 2021. In practice this advances changes to where and when new growth and development can occur in the city by formally starting the amendment and public consultation process.
Requires city staff to keep working with stakeholders to make the 2022 New Community Growth Strategy business case review process more business‑friendly and to explore larger changes to the Growth Management Overlay policy. In practice this means the city will seek ways to simplify and speed up how new community development proposals are evaluated and may change rules that control where and when growth can occur.
Council approves most recommendations from the Richmond Green Needs Assessment and replaces recommendation #12 to require any land-sale proceeds be used to fund Richmond Green Park improvements, including a new Master Plan, replacement of lost ball diamonds, and remediation/redevelopment of the Operations Workplace Centre. It also approves a $7.429 million 2022 capital budget increase funded from the Real Estate Services Reserve, directs Administration to develop and begin implementing the Master Plan (and necessary remediation) and to return with alternatives if land use approval is not granted; a related attachment remains confidential until 2026-05-01.
Council sent the report back to city staff so they can meet with the development applicant to discuss density bonusing (trading extra building density for community benefits) and must return a report to Council by July 26, 2021. This pauses a final decision while staff and the applicant negotiate potential public benefits tied to increased density.
Council approved changing the land use for two small lots (total 0.13 ha) from low-density residential (R-C2) to Mixed Use (MU-1f4.0h21). This permits more intensive development — residential and commercial uses — with an FAR of 4.0 and a maximum height of 21, enabling apartments, ground-floor retail or similar higher-density projects on the site.
This changes the land use for 8943 Elbow Drive SW from a single‑dwelling zone to a Direct Control District so a licensed child care service can operate there under specific guidelines. In practice it permits a child care facility at that address, likely increasing local childcare capacity while bringing modest impacts such as additional drop‑off/pick‑up activity and design requirements for the site.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the land use of the 1.07-hectare site at 1035 64 Avenue SE from Industrial General (I-G) to Industrial Commercial (I-C). This change permits commercial and light-industrial uses allowed under the I-C rules and enables future redevelopment or new development consistent with that district.
Council adopted a bylaw to change the land use designation of about 4.02 hectares at 6123 - 84 Street SE from Special Purpose Future Urban Development to Industrial General, and gave the bylaw three readings to finalize the change. This allows the land to be developed for general industrial uses, which could enable new industrial buildings, jobs, and associated traffic or noise in the local area.
Council will give three readings to amend the Forest Lawn / Forest Heights / Hubalta area redevelopment plan and rezone 1536 and 1540 36 Street SE from Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG) to Multi-Residential Contextual Medium Profile (M-C2). Practically, this enables medium-density multi-unit housing (such as low-rise apartments or townhouses) to be built on these lots, increasing local housing options and neighbourhood density.
Changes the zoning for two properties (4724 and 4728 Stanley Road SW) from Multi-Residential Contextual Low Profile (M-C1) to Multi-Residential Contextual Medium Profile (M-C2). This allows modestly greater building height and density on the 0.14 ha site, enabling more housing units or a different building form and potentially affecting neighbourhood character and local services.
Gives final approval (three readings) to a bylaw that changes the land use of 0.24 hectares at 7217 26 Ave SW from a Direct Control District to Residential One Dwelling (R-1). In practice this allows development under standard single‑family residential rules instead of the site's prior special controls, enabling typical R-1 uses and standards (e.g., single-family homes) subject to R-1 regulations.
Changes the zoning for 4604 80 Street NW (a 0.06 ha lot) from R-C2 to R-CG, allowing grade-oriented infill housing rather than only single or duplex homes. This permits modestly higher-density, ground-oriented multi-unit development (for example townhouses or stacked units) on the lot.
Council gave three readings to amend the North Hill Area Redevelopment Plan and to rezone about 0.08 ha (0.21 ac) at 231 and 235 25 Avenue NE from R-C2 to R-CG. The change allows grade-oriented infill housing (such as townhouses or similar small-scale multi-unit homes) on these lots, enabling redevelopment at a slightly higher density and different housing form than currently permitted.
Changes the zoning of two small residential lots at 1627 33 Ave SW so office use is permitted under a Direct Control district with specific guidelines. This allows conversion or development for offices where only small-scale residential dwellings were previously allowed, potentially increasing daytime activity and parking demand in the immediate neighbourhood.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that redesignates the 0.54 ha property at 2566 Flanders Ave SW from one Direct Control District to another, specifically adding Brewery, Winery and Distillery as permitted uses under site-specific guidelines. This allows the property owner or developer to pursue permits and operate those beverage production uses subject to the approved guidelines.
Council approved three readings of a bylaw to change the land-use designation for about 67.85 hectares at 22000 Sheriff King Street SW from Future Urban Development to a mix of low-density and multi-residential, support commercial, city/regional infrastructure, school/park/community reserve, and urban nature districts. This allows the land to be developed for homes, parks, schools, infrastructure and related services, enabling subdivision and future construction under the new designations.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the zoning of a 1.72-hectare site at 365 Sage Meadows Green NW from Multi-Residential Low Profile (M-1d75) to Residential Low Density Mixed Housing (R-G). This changes what types and densities of homes can be built there, allowing lower-density mixed housing (for example single-detached, semi-detached, rowhouses or small multi-unit buildings) and alters development rules for future projects on the site.
Council will give three readings to amend the 16 Avenue North Urban Corridor Area Redevelopment Plan and to rezone six parcels (0.37 ha) at 112–140 16 Avenue NW from Commercial Corridor districts to a Direct Control district with specific design and development guidelines. The change enables a proposed mixed-use building with tailored rules for height, density and design that differ from the existing commercial zoning.
Council will give three readings to amend the Hillhurst/Sunnyside Area Redevelopment Plan and redesignate about 2.95 hectares in Hillhurst/Sunnyside to a Direct Control district. The change enables a mixed-use project with medical, commercial and multi-residential uses and includes mobility/transportation improvements and development guidelines for the site.
Council cancels the approval process for Proposed Bylaw 17P2020 so the bylaw will not proceed to enactment. This stops any land-use or regulatory changes that the proposed bylaw would have implemented.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw to re-designate about 28.98 hectares at 7007 84 Street SE from a site-specific Direct Control district to the city's Industrial General (I-G) zoning. This change allows the property to be developed for general industrial uses (subject to future permits and conditions), potentially enabling industrial buildings, operations, jobs, and related traffic/noise impacts.
Council passed a bylaw changing the land designation for about 1.52 hectares (3.76 acres) at several addresses from one Direct Control District to a new Direct Control District with specific guidelines. This change enables more or different commercial development on those properties under the attached rules, which could lead to new businesses, redevelopment, or alterations to site design and land use.
Council approved six proposed street names — Verbena, Versant, Verity, Verdure, Verdant, and Veranda — and refused the proposed name Vermilion Hill. This establishes the official names to be used for signage, postal addresses, and mapping in the affected area.
Council refused to change the zoning of four lots at 306–312 25 Avenue SW from Direct Control to M-H2h28 and abandoned the related bylaws, which stops the proposed medium-rise, high-density residential redevelopment from proceeding under that rezoning. The properties remain under their existing Direct Control designation and the specific development proposal in Bylaws 70D2021 and 21P2021 will not move forward.
Deletes three specific subclauses (5(2)(c), 5(2)(l) and 5(2)(m)) from Section 5 of Schedule B (Direct Control District) in Bylaw 85D2021 and renumbers the remaining subsections. Practically, this changes the zoning/regulatory details that apply to that Direct Control area and may alter permitted uses or development requirements for properties in that district, though the resolution does not specify the exact content of the removed clauses.
Adds a rule to Bylaw 85D2021 that prohibits all commercial operations in the specified Direct Control District between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM. This limits when discretionary commercial uses listed in section 5 may operate, affecting local businesses and nearby residents' nighttime activity and noise levels.
Council gave three readings to several bylaws to amend the Bowness Area Redevelopment Plan, close about 4.46 hectares of roads, and redesignate roughly 26 hectares of land to allow low‑density housing, rowhouses, park/open space and utility infrastructure. The changes enable future residential development and creation of parks/open space in the specified area but will alter local road access and lead to future construction and servicing.
Council gave three readings to Bylaw 64D2021 to redesignate 2.52 hectares at 6221 Country Hills Blvd NE from special-purpose (school/park/community reserve) and some multi-residential zoning to allow multi-residential at-grade and residential low-density mixed housing. In practical terms, this clears the way for housing development on the site, permitting a mix of lower-density housing and multi-unit buildings where the land had previously been reserved for school/park uses.
Changes the land-use designation of the 0.08 ha property at 352 - 34 Avenue NE from Residential Contextual One/Two Dwelling (R-C2) to Multi-Residential Contextual Low Profile (M-C1), enabling low-rise multi-unit housing instead of single- or two-unit housing. Giving three readings means the city has adopted the bylaw and the rezoning is approved, allowing development consistent with M-C1 rules to proceed.
Gives three readings to amend the Springbank Hill Area Structure Plan and to redesignate a 5.39-hectare site at 7440 26 Ave SW from one Direct Control district to another to allow a comprehensively planned multi-residential development with design guidelines. In practice this enables higher-density housing on the site and sets rules for how the new development will be designed and integrated into the neighbourhood.
Council approved closing about 0.02 hectares (0.05 acres) of road adjacent to 1608 - 2 Street NW and 236/238 - 15 Avenue NW and redesignating the closed road from Undesignated Road Right-of-Way to Multi-Residential Contextual Medium Profile (M-C2). This change allows that small parcel to be used for medium-density residential development under M-C2 rules.
Closes a small (approximately 0.02 ha) piece of public road adjacent to 2620 and 2624 Granville Street SW and redesignates that land from Undesignated Road Right-of-Way to Residential Contextual One Dwelling (R-C1), enabling its use for single-house residential purposes or addition to adjacent lots. Also directs that a related attachment be kept confidential for privacy reasons.
Council approved the official street name "Greenwich" as proposed in Report CPC2021-0472. This makes the name official for signage, addresses, maps and city records, affecting wayfinding, mail delivery and emergency services but otherwise has minimal direct impact on residents.
Changes the land designation of a 2.63-hectare site at 11576 Stonehill Drive NE from Industrial General to a Direct Control District to permit a major vehicle sales use under specific guidelines. This enables a large car dealership or similar vehicle sales development on the site and could increase local traffic and economic activity while being subject to the approved development rules.
Approves a new comprehensive plan to guide land use, development, public spaces, and transportation in Calgary's downtown and formally removes the existing Centre City Plan. This replaces the prior policy framework and will direct future development approvals, infrastructure priorities, and investments in the downtown area.
Council granted three readings to a bylaw that changes zoning for a small property at 216 - 25 Ave SW from a Direct Control district to M-H1h15 (high-density, low-rise multi-residential). This allows future redevelopment or construction of multi-unit housing on the site under the M-H1h15 rules, which could increase local housing supply and alter the immediate neighbourhood's built form, parking and traffic.
Changes the land-use designation of a 0.75-hectare site at 3790 Seton Drive SE from Special Purpose City and Regional Infrastructure to Multi-Residential Medium Profile (M-2), allowing medium-density housing such as apartments or townhouses to be developed. This enables redevelopment and increases potential housing supply, with likely impacts on local traffic, services and future development approvals.
Authorizes Council to pass Bylaw 42D2021 to change the land-use of the 0.55 ha site at 3582 - 118 Avenue SE from Industrial General (I-G) to Industrial Commercial (I-C). This allows a broader range of commercial and light-industrial uses on the property, enabling different types of businesses or developments consistent with the I-C district.
Approves a bylaw to change the land-use designation for 703 23 Avenue SE to a new Direct Control district with specific guidelines, allowing the existing building to be adaptively reused and enabling future redevelopment options. This modifies what uses and design rules apply to that single property and guides how it can be renovated or redeveloped.
Council gave three readings to amend the Albert Park/Radisson Heights Area Redevelopment Plan and to rezone the 0.09 ha site at 1302 34 Street SE from M-CG d67 to a Direct Control district with specific guidelines. The change permits a multi-residential building on the property, enabling higher-density housing in the neighbourhood and establishing site-specific design and use rules.
Changes the land-use rules for a 1.96-hectare site at 3876 Cornerstone Boulevard NE to allow Multi-Residential High Density Low Rise development plus Community Commercial uses. This permits greater building size, height and residential density (more housing units) and allows local retail or services on the site.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the zoning of a 1.06-hectare site at 10930 42 Street NE from Industrial General to Industrial Commercial. This allows a broader range of commercial and light-industrial uses on the parcel and enables future development under the new zoning, but does not itself approve a specific building or development plan.
Council gave three readings to amend the Shaganappi Point Area Redevelopment Plan and to rezone several parcels near 2500 Bow Trail SW. The changes allow a range of housing types (low-density grade-oriented, medium-density grade-oriented, and mid-rise multi‑residential), create guidelines for development, and designate portions for city/regional infrastructure and park/reserve, enabling future residential development on those sites.
This changes the land-use designation for a 0.05 ha lot at 639 - 18 Avenue NE from Residential One/Two Dwelling (R-C2) to Residential Grade Oriented Infill (RCG). The redesignation allows ground-oriented multi-unit housing (for example townhouses or similar infill) and enables potential redevelopment at a higher density than the current low-density zoning.
This adopts a bylaw to change the land use for two lots at 2847 38 Street SW to Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG), allowing denser, ground-oriented infill housing (e.g., townhomes or small multi-unit buildings) instead of the current one- or two-unit zoning. The change enables new development forms and slightly higher local housing density subject to future development approvals.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the zoning of the 0.09 ha property at 4649 - 70 St NW from R-C2 (one- or two‑dwelling) to RCG. This allows redevelopment for grade‑oriented infill housing (such as townhouses or similar small multi-unit forms), enabling a denser housing option on that lot and permitting a future development application under the new rules.
Council gave three readings to Bylaw 54D2021 to change the land-use designation of the small property at 6507 Elbow Drive SW (0.03 ha) from one Direct Control district to another so commercial uses are permitted. This enables the site to be developed or redeveloped for business purposes, but does not itself grant building permits or start construction.
Adopts changes to the Montgomery Area Redevelopment Plan and rezones a single parcel at 4623 - 21 Avenue NW from R-C1 (single‑detached) to R-C2 (allows one- or two‑dwelling buildings). The change permits a modest increase in housing options on the 0.06 ha lot (for example a duplex or secondary suite) in line with the updated area plan.
Council approved changes to the Montgomery Area Redevelopment Plan and rezoned a single lot at 4532 - 21 Ave NW (about 0.06 ha) from R-C1 to R-C2. This allows the property to accommodate a two-dwelling form (e.g., duplex or secondary dwelling) instead of a single detached house, enabling modest increased housing density at that location.
Council directed administration to implement the revised 2021 fee schedule for Planning and Development services effective May 1, 2021. This updates the amounts charged for permits, applications and other planning-related services and will affect costs for developers, businesses and residents who seek planning approvals.
Council will hold a public hearing and give three readings to Bylaw 18P2021 to adopt changes to the Winston Heights–Mountview Area Redevelopment Plan. The amendments update local planning policies and guidelines that will guide future development, land use, and building form in the neighbourhood, affecting residents, property owners, and developers.
Council gave three readings to a set of bylaws to formally designate listed properties in 11 Calgary neighbourhoods as Municipal Historic Resources. The designations add legal heritage protection that can restrict major alterations or demolitions of the identified buildings and may make owners eligible for preservation incentives or grants.
Council refused the application to change the zoning of the 0.06 ha property at 5507 6 Street SW and abandoned Proposed Bylaw 50D2021. The lot will remain zoned for contextual one- and two-dwelling homes (R-C2), preventing the denser grade-oriented infill development the R-CG district would have allowed and preserving the current neighbourhood form.
Council directs that the applicant be repaid the base application fee and the Direct Control fee for the referenced planning application. This returns fees paid by the applicant, has a minor fiscal impact on city funds, and does not alter any development approvals or city policy.
This motion changes the zoning designation on page 3 (Schedule B map) of Proposed Bylaw 35D2021 by removing the R-CG label and substituting R-CGex. Practically, it changes the development rules that apply to that parcel (such as permitted uses, building form or standards), which will affect future development applications and permits for that site.
Council directs Administration to review the Royal Vista Business Park area (per Map 1) to identify land-use and policy barriers to business and industrial development, complete technical studies (traffic, transit, design, servicing) with city partners and landowners, and align with the City’s Industrial Growth Strategy. If needed, Administration will prepare a city-initiated land use amendment and policy changes, reprioritize the 2021 planning workplan, and report back to Council by the end of Q1 2022.
Directs Administration to review the Royal Vista Business Park boundaries, identify land-use and policy barriers to industrial and business growth, and perform technical studies (traffic, transit, design, servicing) with landowners and city partners. If needed, the City will bring forward a city-initiated land use amendment and policy changes, reprioritize planning work to do this, and report back to Council by end of Q1 2022.
Sends the proposed North Hill Communities Local Area Plan back to city staff to incorporate the attached proposed amendments and relevant policies from the Guidebook for Great Communities. Staff must update the plan and report back to Council by 2021-06-21 so Council can consider the revised planning policies before final approval.
Requires Administration to add sub-headings in the North Hill Communities Local Area Plan heritage guidelines that describe the history, evolution and unique features of each of the nine communities (report back by Q3 2022). Also directs Administration to review policy, legal, engagement and resource options for retaining/replacing trees on private property to support canopy growth and report to the Planning and Urban Development committee by Q4 2022.
Changes the zoning of the 0.08 ha property at 2717 15 Avenue SE from R-C2 (low-density one/two dwellings) to R-CG (Residential Grade-Oriented Infill). This allows ground-oriented multi-unit housing (for example townhouses or rowhouses), enabling modestly higher-density redevelopment and different housing types on the lot that could affect local streetscape and housing options.
Council gave three readings to amend the North Hill Area Redevelopment Plan and to re-designate two small lots at 469 - 21 Ave NW from R-C2 (one/two dwelling) to R-CG (grade-oriented infill). The change allows redevelopment of the parcels for ground-oriented multi-unit housing (for example townhouses or rowhouses), enabling different housing forms and potentially more units on that site.
This bylaw changes the zoning for the property at 5507 6 Street SW from a low-density single/two-dwelling district to a grade-oriented infill district. The change permits redevelopment for ground-oriented multi-unit housing (such as rowhouses or small stacked units), enabling more intensive use of the lot and potentially increasing local housing supply while modestly changing neighbourhood form.
This adopts a bylaw to change the land-use designation of 2403 52 Avenue SW (about 0.07 ha) from Residential Contextual One/Two Dwelling (R-C2) to Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG). Practically, it permits denser ground-oriented housing (for example townhouses or rowhouses) and enables redevelopment or subdivision of the lot under R-CG rules.
Council gave three readings to Bylaw 39D2021 to redesignate the 1.20-hectare site at 5600 Edworthy Street SW to a new DC Direct Control with guidelines so a secondary suite can be added. The change permits an additional dwelling unit on the property, enabling more local housing/rental options while applying site-specific development rules.
Council approved a bylaw to change 1.75 hectares at 4 Royal Vista Way NW from Industrial Business to a Direct Control district so Auto Service - Minor can be added as a discretionary use under specific guidelines. This allows small-scale vehicle service/repair on the site subject to the attached conditions and may affect local traffic, parking, and business activity.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the land-use of 712 Poplar Road SW from R-C2 to a Direct Control district so a rowhouse (which may face a lane or a public street) can be built. This allows a small increase in housing density on the 0.05 ha lot and establishes site-specific design and placement rules that may affect the immediate streetscape and neighboring properties.
Requires city staff to report to the June 2 Planning and Urban Development committee with timelines and budget options for a comprehensive city-wide community consultation and engagement plan that incorporates the 'What We Heard' report and proposed amendments. The report will show how the city plans to consult residents, the schedule for engagement, and estimated costs to inform committee decisions and any funding allocations.
Council amends Report PUD2021-0015 to refer the report for further work, explicitly include the public in consultations, move a deadline from June 2 to May 5, and require stakeholder engagement and public participation at the committee meeting on proposed Guidebook amendments. It also directs consideration of whether the Guidebook should be adopted as policy rather than remain a statutory document.
Council directs the North Hill Local Area Plan sustainment team to evaluate properties on Renfrew Drive NE (between Russet Rd and Remington Rd) for an "Urban Boulevard" approach, looking at both land use and streetscape changes to create a form compatible with nearby Midfield Heights. The team must report back as part of the North Hill LAP sustainment; this is a planning study step that could lead to future zoning or street design changes but does not itself change policy or approvals.
Directs city administration to prepare a bylaw to amend the Winston Heights/Mountview Area Redevelopment Plan for Policy Area 6 to: require commercial uses (e.g., retail and restaurants) along street frontages; ensure non-market housing units are provided on at least two parcels through sale of the land; and set parking rules that generally require 75% of on-site parking (excluding visitor and accessible stalls) to be underground or in structured facilities and to design surface parking to reduce visual and pedestrian impacts. The amendment also replaces Map 9 and will encourage street-level activity, secure some affordable housing, and reduce visible surface parking in the neighbourhood.
Directs Administration to amend the North Hill Communities Local Area Plan by replacing Map 3 (Urban Form) and Map 4 (Building Scale) and by revising Urban Main Streets policy for the Midfield Heights sites (920, 954, 970, 990 and 1020 16 Avenue NE and 16 Moncton Road NE). The changes require non‑market housing on at least two parcels through sale of Midfield Heights land, mandate that (except where non‑market housing is provided) at least 75% of on‑site parking (excluding visitor and accessible stalls) be underground or in above‑grade parking structures, and require surface parking to be designed to minimize visual and pedestrian impacts.
Approves bylaws to formally designate the George A. Turner, Johnston, Upshall (Corson), and Walter Hargrave residences as Municipal Historic Resources. This provides legal heritage protection under city rules, which can restrict alterations or demolition and may make owners eligible for conservation supports or incentives.
This approves closing about 0.15 ha of road and rezoning roughly 9.8 ha of land around 16 Avenue NE from commercial and other uses to a mix of mixed-use, multi-residential, school/park and urban nature districts. In practical terms it enables higher-density mixed-use and residential development on these parcels, while setting aside areas for school, park and natural space and allowing future development applications under the new zoning rules.
This approves changes to the North Hill Area Redevelopment Plan and rezones one small parcel (0.04 ha) at 258 20 Avenue NW from single/two-dwelling (R-C2) to multi-residential grade-oriented (M-CGd78). In practice it allows higher-density, ground-oriented multi-unit housing to be built on that lot, changing the permitted land use and built form for that specific property.
Council approved closing a very small portion of road adjacent to 1332 8 Avenue SE and redesignating that 0.003 ha from road right-of-way to Residential Contextual One/Two Dwelling (R-C2). This allows the neighbouring property to incorporate that strip of land for residential use (e.g., a single- or two-unit dwelling) subject to the conditions attached to the bylaws.
This motion deletes the words 'as needed' from Proposed Recommendation #5 in Report PUD2021-0015, removing discretionary wording and making the recommendation read as a firmer requirement. The change reduces flexibility in how and when the recommendation can be applied and may require more consistent or immediate implementation.
Council approved three new street names — Cirrus, Stratus and Nimbus — for use in a development area. This decision assigns official names for addressing, signage, maps, and emergency response for the affected roads.
Council will expand the Silverado community boundary to include the remaining Residual Sub-Area 13L. This means that the land in that sub-area will be treated as part of Silverado for planning and service purposes, affecting which community plan, development approvals, addressing, and local services apply going forward.
Council accepted the Planning Commission recommendation to discontinue Proposed Bylaw 27D2021, stopping that rezoning/application from moving forward. Administration is directed to refund any applicable fees paid by the applicant.
Changes the land-use designation for a 0.37 ha site at 9715 Horton Road SW from Industrial General (I-G) to Industrial Commercial (I-C), allowing a wider range of commercial and light industrial uses. This enables different types of development or businesses to apply for permits under the I-C rules on that property.
This changes the land designation for 0.10 hectares at 3519 14 Street SW from a Direct Control (site-specific) district to the Commercial Neighbourhood 2 (C-N2) district, enabling neighbourhood-scale commercial and mixed uses under standard C-N2 rules. Giving three readings finalizes the bylaw so the new zoning takes effect and allows different types of development or businesses than were previously permitted.
Council approved amending the Killarney/Glengarry Area Redevelopment Plan and rezoning a 0.06 ha (0.14 ac) lot at 2804 - 32 Street SW from a Direct Control district to Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG). This change enables low‑rise, ground‑oriented infill housing (e.g., townhouses or rowhouses) on that parcel under R-CG rules.
Council approved changing the zoning of two small lots (0.06 ha) at 2104 Broadview Road NW from R-C2 to R-CG. The change allows denser, ground-oriented housing forms (for example townhouses or rowhouses), enabling redevelopment of the site and more housing units than currently permitted.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that redesignates a 0.06-hectare parcel at 2002 51 Avenue SW from Residential Contextual One Dwelling (R-C1) to Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG). This change allows more compact, infill housing types (like rowhouses, duplexes or small multi-unit buildings) on the site, enabling higher residential density and potential redevelopment compared with the existing single‑detached zoning.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the land use of a small lot (about 0.05 ha) at 4315 15 Ave SW from single-/two‑dwelling zoning (R-C2) to Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG). This allows denser, ground‑oriented housing forms (e.g., townhouses or rowhouses) to be built on the site, enabling infill redevelopment.
Council gave three readings to Bylaw 21D2021 to change the zoning of one property at 2803 - 43 Street SW from R-C1 (single‑dwelling) to R-C2 (one/two dwellings). This allows the owner to build or convert the site to a duplex or other two-unit housing, modestly increasing local housing density.
Changes the land-use designation for 41.57 hectares at 12021-36 Street NE from general industrial and school/park reserve to a combination of school/park, industrial-commercial, lower-intensity industrial business, and commercial corridor districts. This permits a mix of light industrial, business and commercial development alongside retained school/park land, enabling new jobs, services and construction while potentially increasing traffic and altering local land-use character.
Council gave three readings to amend the South Calgary/Altadore Area Redevelopment Plan and to rezone 0.07 hectares at 5004 21 St SW from R-C2 (one/two dwelling) to R-CG (grade‑oriented infill). This allows denser ground‑oriented infill development (for example townhouses or rowhouses) on the site and permits redevelopment under the updated plan.
Council gave three readings to amend the North Hill Area Redevelopment Plan and to rezone a 0.06-hectare property at 236 31 Avenue NE from R-C2 (low-density residential) to M-CGd75 (multi-residential grade-oriented), allowing denser ground-oriented multi-unit housing on that site. Council also directed that a related attachment containing personal information remain confidential under FOIP s.17.
Council adopted amendments to the Beltline Area Redevelopment Plan and rezoned the five parcels to a Direct Control district, enabling additional floor area and access to bonus incentives under new design guidelines. In practice this allows higher-density redevelopment at these addresses subject to the attached rules and approval process.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that redesignates about 5.48 hectares at 520 and 640 Mahogany Road SE from existing multi-residential and mixed-use districts to a Direct Control district. This change permits new low- and medium-density residential development on the parcels under specific guidelines for how the housing can be built.
Council approved amendments to the Ramsay Area Redevelopment Plan and rezoned two lots at 2103 - 8 Street SE (0.05 ha) from R-C2 to R-CG. The change allows grade-oriented infill housing (e.g., townhouses/rowhomes or similar forms) on the site, enabling a different form and potentially greater density of residential development consistent with the updated area plan.
Council approved three readings to a bylaw that changes the land use for a small parcel (0.06 ha) at 47 Crestridge Way SW from a Direct Control district to Residential Contextual One Dwelling (R-C1s). This formalizes standard single‑dwelling zoning for the lot, allowing development or use under R-C1s rules instead of the previous custom DC rules.
Updates Schedules A and B of Bylaw 49P2020 as described in Attachment 4. This changes the specific parts of the bylaw listed in that attachment — for example zoning, land‑use maps, or regulatory tables — and will alter rules or designations for the properties or provisions identified in the attachment.
Rescinds Bylaw 156D2020 and gives three readings to Bylaw 13D2021 to redesignate 31.28 hectares at 6125 - 117 St NW from Future Urban Development to a mix of land-use districts (low-profile multi-residential, single-detached, low-density mixed housing, city/regional infrastructure, community reserve, urban nature and a Direct Control district). This change allows future mixed-use commercial development, a range of housing types, protected open space and related infrastructure to proceed under Council-approved guidelines.
Council changes the land-use designation for all properties in Ramsay inside a 500-metre radius of the planned Ramsay/Inglewood Green Line LRT station to R-CGex. Practically, this rezoning encourages denser, transit-oriented residential and compatible uses near the future station, making it easier for redevelopment and multi-unit housing close to transit.
Changes the land-use designation for the entire Ramsay neighbourhood to the R-CGex district. This alters what types and densities of buildings can be approved, enabling more multi-unit housing and mixed-use development and affecting future development approvals and property redevelopment potential.
Council will change the zoning for the Ramsay neighbourhood so that all properties within a 500-metre radius of the proposed Ramsay/Inglewood Green Line LRT station are designated R-C2. R-C2 is a residential zoning that typically allows a broader mix of housing and modestly higher density than single-family zones, which promotes transit-oriented infill and redevelopment near the future station and will alter development rules for property owners.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw to change the zoning of 96 West Glen Crescent SW from Residential Contextual One Dwelling (R-C1) to Residential Contextual One/Two Dwelling (R-C2). This allows the property to be used for a duplex or an additional dwelling unit, increasing possible local housing options; separate development and building permits would still be required for any construction or change of use.
Adopts updated residential parking rules, cancels the existing Visitor Parking Permit policy, and freezes parking permit fees at current levels for the 2021–2022 budget cycle to provide economic relief. It also directs regular four-year reviews of fees and cost recovery, advances amendments to the Traffic Bylaw, and abandons a previously proposed bylaw.
Directs Administration to advertise a proposed disposition (removal or alteration) of a restrictive covenant on a public park at below-market (nominal) value and report back to the Standing Policy Committee on Utilities and Corporate Services. It also waives charging the landowner Administration's service fee—allowing those costs to be covered by future tax uplift until repaid—and requires updates to the Guidebook for Great Communities so City staff can more easily enter restrictive covenant agreements to create openings on public-facing walls without seeking Council approval for each case, with a report due by 2022-03-30.
Council approved giving three readings to a bylaw that changes the zoning for two lots (about 0.14 ha) at 3131 and 3137-39 39 Street SW from low-density R-C2 to a site-specific Direct Control based on R-CGex. This allows denser residential redevelopment (more multi-unit or rowhouse-style housing with site-specific rules), enabling future building proposals that could increase housing supply and alter local parking, traffic, or neighbourhood character.
This changes the land-use designation for the property at 3137 39 Street SW (three lots, about 0.05 ha) from single-/two‑dwelling rules to a Grade‑Oriented Infill zone, allowing ground‑oriented multi-unit housing (for example townhouses/rowhouses) instead of only single houses or duplexes. The amendment enables modest increased density and potential redevelopment of the site under the infill rules.
Council directs staff to study options to reduce or remove planning and development fees charged for creating off-street parking (e.g., driveways, garages) for residents in residential permit-parking areas where on-street parking has been reduced or removed, and to report back to the Planning committee with findings by Q4 2021. If adopted, this could lower costs for affected homeowners or builders and inform changes to fee policy.
Directs city staff to investigate reducing or eliminating planning and development fees that apply to off-street parking for people who live in residential parking permit zones but do not have off-street parking. The study could lead to changes that lower or remove fees for affected residents when they apply for permits or related approvals.
Council will update the city's residential parking rules and amend the Traffic Bylaw, rescind the existing visitor parking permit policy, and endorse a new fee structure (fee option A). Permit fees will be frozen at current levels through 2021–2022, fees and cost-recovery will be reviewed each four-year budget cycle, an earlier bylaw will be abandoned, and staff will explore reducing or removing planning/development fees for residents in permit zones who lack off-street parking.
Directs administration to implement a permanent program (beginning 2022) allowing seasonal patio extensions in Business Improvement Areas, determine appropriate subsidies for hoarding, street use, lane closure and related fees, and form a funded multi-disciplinary team to deliver the program. Administration must engage BIAs, business and hospitality stakeholders and ensure all patio extensions meet Calgary's accessibility standards.
Directs city staff to create a Scope of Work for a program to find alternative uses for the former Greyhound Station, including costs, timelines and next steps; to engage private and not-for-profit partners to activate the site in ways that support downtown, cultural, winter and event strategies and could increase tax base, reduce crime, boost activity and Sunalta LRT ridership; and to report back to Council by Q2 2022.
Administration will merge the leftover funds from three Calgary Reopening Grant programs (as of 2021-09-07) to create and finance a Calgary COVID-19 Business Support Program that provides targeted financial help to sectors still suffering serious pandemic-related impacts. Administration must report back to Council by the end of Q2 2022 on the program and its use of funds.
Receives the State of Downtown Calgary 2020 report, approves the Terms of Reference for a Downtown Calgary Development Incentive Program, and directs Administration to bring Phase 2 terms by Q4 2021 and a report on program implementation and finances by Q4 2022. It also redirects and reprioritizes previously approved Cultural Municipal Sustainability Initiative funds totaling $15.5 million to support these downtown development and related priorities.
Council directs city staff to design a possible funding or incentive approach to support redevelopment of the Barron Building (610 8 Ave SW), using and adapting the principles of the Downtown Calgary Development Incentive Program. Staff must identify suitable funding sources and report back to the Priorities and Finance Committee by September 7, 2021.
Revises the Event Centre contract terms so neither the City nor the other party must provide financial security for payment obligations, and directs administration to negotiate and sign amendments to remove those provisions with approval from the City Manager, CFO and City Solicitor. Practically, this eliminates collateral that would have protected the City if the other party defaulted and may increase the City's financial risk while simplifying the agreements.
Approves the Terms of Reference for a Downtown Calgary Development Incentive Program, receives the State of Downtown Calgary 2020 for the corporate record, and requires Administration to bring Phase 2 terms by Q4 2021 and a program implementation and financial report by Q4 2022. Also approves redirecting and reprioritizing $15.5 million from the Cultural Municipal Sustainability Initiative to support the program and downtown recovery efforts.
Directs city staff to consent to and implement amendments to The Stampede's credit facilities, financial covenants, and any related city agreements so the organization remains in good standing under its loans; all changes must follow The City's credit documentation and loan/guarantee policy. The practical effect is to preserve The Stampede's access to financing and help maintain its short-term financial stability.
Council approved updated terms of reference and an investment policy for the Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund, authorized the Fund's company to place up to $10 million into investment vehicles run by third parties under specified conditions, and directed Administration to update the Fund's Operating and Funding Agreement as needed. Practically, this gives the Fund more flexibility to invest through external managers while requiring adherence to the approved governance and policy safeguards.
Council is asking the Business Advisory Committee to continue talking with different types of businesses — specifically including personal wellness services — and to bring any opportunities for support or recommendations back to Council. This is a directive to keep gathering feedback and identify potential supports for businesses, not an immediate funding or policy change.
Council approves updated Terms of Reference and an Investment Policy Statement for the Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund and allows OCIF Ltd. to direct up to $10 million of fund money into investment vehicles run by third parties under the fund's rules. Administration is directed to update the Operating and Funding Agreement so the fund can use external managers or pooled investments while following the approved safeguards and conditions.
Requires City administration, via the Service Owner Network, to monitor progress on Calgary's post-pandemic economic recovery, communicate with the community, and provide updates every six months starting November 2021. The November 2021 update must incorporate the Economic Resilience Task Force's concluding recommendations, with briefings thereafter.
Council approves a $200 million initial investment package for the Greater Downtown Plan funded by $60M from the Budget Savings Account, $63M from the Fiscal Stability Reserve and $77M from the Canada Community Building Fund (subject to receipt). It also directs the Mayor and Administration to seek provincial and federal support, authorizes a Housing Agreement and related contracts for the Sierra Place/HomeSpace project at 706 7 Ave SW, and requires a report back by Q2 2022.
Directs city administration to assess using municipal tax deferral powers (s.347 MGA) for categories of businesses and non-profits not covered by existing exemptions—examples include hotels, nightclubs, and fitness facilities—that were significantly harmed by COVID. Administration must return to the Priorities and Finance Committee at its next meeting with options for implementing such deferrals.
Authorizes a one-time waiver of up to $17.6 million in business licence and related fees for new and renewing businesses for two years beginning March 17, 2021, which reduces costs for affected businesses and reduces city fee revenue by up to that amount. Directs Administration to work with the Business Sector Task Force and return with further relief options using remaining funds (estimated at $12.4 million).
Temporarily replace the existing benefit-driven procurement questionnaire with a streamlined, open-ended form to be used in upcoming requests for proposals and expressions of interest, aiming to support businesses that commit to ethical employment and service delivery. Administration must provide a verbal update to the Priorities and Finance Committee by Q2 2021 outlining the final revised questionnaire and progress on a Council policy for Benefit Driven Procurement.
Directs the city to create a non-residential phased municipal property tax program that caps municipal tax increases at 10% for 2021, costing an estimated $13 million funded by $3M in unused phased-tax funds and $10M from the 2021 property tax rebate. Approves an additional $30 million for targeted COVID-19 relief to businesses ($8M from the rebate and $22M from the Fiscal Stability Reserve) and instructs Administration, through the COFLEX program with the Business Advisory Committee, to develop distribution options and return to Council by March 22, 2021.
Approves a $50,000 grant from the Council Innovation Fund to Mount Royal University to support its Artificial Intelligence Digital Twin for Trucks program. Administration must report back within 12 months of the project's end explaining how the money was spent and what outcomes were achieved; the project aims to advance research that could improve truck operations, logistics or city planning.
Council gives consent for Rocky View County to buy the Blazer Water Treatment Plant property at 52 Bearspaw Meadows Way NW, directs City administration to carry out the remaining actions in the report, and orders the report and attachments to remain confidential until September 2, 2036. Practically, this authorizes a transfer of municipal land to a neighboring municipality and initiates implementation steps, while keeping negotiation and agreement details withheld from the public for the specified period.
Asks the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association to push the Alberta government to take part in the National Task Force on Flood Insurance and Relocation. The goal is to help create a national flood insurance program for high-risk homes and to obtain stable, long-term funding for provinces, Indigenous communities and municipalities to pay for flood mitigation projects that make communities more resilient.
Requires city staff to apply the attached framework when creating programs that use property tax incentives allowed under Alberta's Bill 7. Also directs the city to keep advocating to the Government of Alberta for additional property tax tools to support downtown recovery, including incentives for residential uses.
Council agrees to send the resolution in Attachment 1 to the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association's Fall 2021 Convention and Annual General Meeting (Nov 17–19, 2021). This simply authorizes the city to present its position to the provincial municipal association for consideration and possible inclusion in AUMA advocacy.
Approves sending the resolution in Attachment 1 to the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association for consideration at its Fall 2021 Convention and Annual General Meeting (Nov 17–19, 2021). This authorizes Calgary to present the resolution to AUMA delegates for their review and potential endorsement but does not itself change city or provincial policy.
This cancels the City (municipal) portion of 2021 property taxes for two specific rolls (202762597 and 202798450), totalling $12,096.95 and $6,891.89, relieving those property owners of those charges and reducing City tax revenue by those amounts. It also directs the Mayor to ask provincial ministers to cancel the Provincial requisition (provincial portion) of the 2021 property taxes for the same properties.
Asks the Mayor to send two letters to the Province of Alberta: one requesting funding for a resilient roofing rebate program, and another asking the Minister of Alberta Municipal Affairs to support changes to building codes for roofing and siding in hail-prone areas. The motion seeks provincial action that could lead to rebates and stronger materials to reduce hail damage and repair costs, but does not itself create funding or change codes.
Council approved the confidential recommendations in Report IGA2021-1253 and directed that the report, attachments, presentation, and closed meeting discussion remain confidential under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The confidentiality order will be reviewed on 2031-01-21, so the specific details and effects of the recommendations are not publicly disclosed at this time.
Council will go into a private (closed) meeting to discuss confidential matters including proposed annexation from Foothills County, a regional strategy update, and a verbal City Manager update. External consultants from Hemson Consulting are invited and the discussion is withheld from the public under FOIP sections protecting business interests, intergovernmental relations, and internal advice.
Council directs the City to formally begin annexation proceedings for the Sirocco lands with Foothills County and the Anthem United landowners, confirms the proposed annexation boundary, and explores resolving road issues as part of the process. It also requires negotiating a Memorandum of Understanding with the landowners to cover all costs for required studies and public consultation, and to report back with negotiating parameters by Q3 2021.
Council reaffirms support for vaccinating The City of Calgary's critical infrastructure workers and asks the Mayor to write to the Province of Alberta to request they be included in Phase 2 or earlier if vaccine supply allows. The letter also requests a clear timeline for when these workers can expect inoculation; if approved this could speed up protection of essential city staff and continuity of services but depends on provincial decisions and vaccine availability.
Council directed the Intergovernmental and Corporate Strategy team to move forward with the approach described in the presentation (Verbal Report C2021-0197) and to report progress to the Intergovernmental Affairs Committee by Q3 2021. This instructs staff to develop and implement the next steps and return with updates or recommendations, but does not itself authorize major spending or final policy decisions.
Directs the Mayor to write to the Government of Alberta supporting southern Alberta municipalities in seeking full reinstatement of the 1976 coal policy, calling for much more public consultation, and asking that coal mining leases granted after the policy was rescinded in June 2020 be canceled or suspended to protect watershed areas. This is an advocacy letter and does not itself change provincial permits or laws.
Council replaces the Administration's recommendations and directs staff to work with other municipalities to draft the exact wording of the question. The final wording must be presented to Council through the Intergovernmental Affairs Committee no later than Q2 2021.
Directs city administration and external experts to present at the SPC on Utilities and Corporate Services (initially in Jan 2021) about the Alberta government's decision to rescind the 1976 coal-mining policy that protected the Rocky Mountains' eastern slopes and headwaters, and to bring options for Council to consider so it can take an informed position. This is a request for information and proposed response options, not an immediate policy change.
Council directs Administration to report back in November 2021 with a scoping report and funding recommendations for an expanded Active and Safe Routes to School program for the 2023–2026 budget cycle. The report must identify and prioritize schools (using GIS and including those not on the current 5A map), recommend operational and capital funding needs (e.g., snow-clearing, street furniture, sidewalks, bike paths, crosswalks, pedestrian flashers, curb extensions), and set out how the City will coordinate with schools, school boards and other stakeholders to deliver the program citywide.
Council is being asked to consider a one-time $300,000 grant from the Council Community Fund to support Phase 1 of a facility addition for the Silver Springs Community Association. The Ward 1 office and the project applicant must report back to the Priorities and Finance Committee (or successor) within 12 months after the project is completed to confirm outcomes.
This motion updates the fund's terms, separates the General Hospital Legacy Endowment into its own reserve, and allows the city to commit up to 100% of current and future General Hospital Legacy Reserve funds toward building the Bridgeland‑Riverside Multimodal Pedestrian Bridge. Administration is directed to return with a capital budget request through the November 2021 budget adjustment process.
Council sent the Country Hills Boulevard widening functional planning study back to Administration and its successor committee and asked for a stronger review of alternatives, including transit, walking and cycling options, support for goods movement and local businesses, and the environmental and emissions effects on nearby communities and the 5A network. The Administration must return an updated report by Q2 2022, delaying final decisions so designs can better address transportation modes and environmental/community impacts.
Adds $1,616,563 to the 2021 Roads Capital Program (projects 147-148) to fund road construction, maintenance, or related capital work, and gives three readings to Bylaw 2R2021 to authorize the appropriation. This allows the city to spend the additional funds in 2021 to advance or complete road projects.
Requires City administration to include the outstanding snow and ice control accessibility issues identified by the Advisory Committee on Accessibility and Administration in the next budget deliberations, and to consider recent Council directions on mobility network accessibility and equity. Practically, this prompts budget planning and possible service changes to improve winter sidewalk/route clearing and access for people with disabilities.
Updates the Plus 15 Policy to require universal accessibility and better interior design (lighting, finishes, wayfinding and safety) and to encourage bridge design and integrated public art. It tightens approval criteria to show public benefit and alignment with the Greater Downtown Plan, and changes operating-hours rules so the City can approve permanent or temporary earlier/later openings or closures (with required signage and pedestrian detour plans). Several wording clarifications about buildings, bridges and user benefits are also made.
Requires the City to keep supporting pop-up patios but ensure every patio and any sidewalk detours are universally accessible (adequate wheelchair turning space, secure ramps, tactile/visual routing) and, where possible, place patios in the curb lane to leave sidewalks clear. It also directs Administration to raise accessibility priority across Calgary's mobility network, produce an action plan and report to Council by Q2 2022 with annual updates covering snow/ice control, detour practices, patio standards, crossings, transit stops/stations, removal of sidewalk obstacles, staff training, and stakeholder engagement.
Council directs Administration to invest $45 million from the Community Investment Reserve (2022–2026) to modernize and upgrade the Repsol Sport Centre, adding specialized leisure aquatic amenities in the city centre. This funds capital work to improve pools and related facilities to meet community needs.
Council directs city staff to bring back, by June 2021, an updated plan for recreation capital investments that prioritizes filling citywide facility and amenity gaps using sources like the Community Recreation Levy and Community Investment Reserve. The plan must consider which projects are shovel-ready and able to leverage partner funding, and include community and stakeholder engagement during design and planning.
Directs the City to move $750,000 from the Cash‑in‑Lieu of Parking Fund into the 17 Ave Redevelopment Program to pay for upgrades on 16 Avenue SW, and requires Administration to work with the 17th Avenue Business Improvement Area on the project's final design. This funds streetscape/amenity improvements intended to support local businesses and improve the corridor.
Directs Administration to pursue option 2 from Report PFC2021-0324 and create a detailed off-site levy late-payment relief program to support construction of the Rangeview high school site, with a formal program to be reported back to Council by July 2021. In practice this could ease or defer penalties/requirements on levy payments by developers or the project, potentially speeding or enabling the school's construction while affecting the timing of levy revenue.
Adds $5,051,402 to the 2021 budget for Roads Capital Program 147-148 to fund road projects/repairs under that program. It also advances Bylaw 1R2021 through three readings to formally authorize the budget change.
Council directed that fluoride be added back into Calgary's municipal drinking water and asked Administration to bring an implementation plan to the Standing Policy Committee on Utilities and Corporate Services as soon as possible. This decision will require changes to water treatment operations, scheduling and budgets, and will affect all residents on the city water system with potential public dental health benefits and associated operational costs.
Directs City Administration to study options for permitting private volunteers to use their skills and equipment to support Calgary's snow and ice response during winter and to report back to Council as part of the Snow and Ice Control Policy review in June 2021. The investigation would identify how volunteer participation could be enabled, coordinated and governed before any program is approved.
Council will allocate $4.0 million from the Lifecycle Maintenance and Upgrade Reserve to the Sound Wall Lifecycle Program to fix deficiencies and address remaining high-priority sound wall locations immediately. The money will pay for repairs or replacements to restore structural integrity and noise protection along affected roadways.
Council approves the terms for a grant program to convert the Barron Building to residential use and commits $7.5 million of projected 2021 operating surplus to the Fiscal Stability Reserve to support that conversion. Administration must bring a one-time 2022 budget request for these committed funds as part of the 2023–2026 budgets, return any unused money to the reserve, and report back with analysis on a possible downtown heritage incentive program.
Approves the Terms of Reference for a Barron Building Residential Conversion Grant Program and commits $7.5 million of projected 2021 operating surplus to the Fiscal Stability Reserve to support converting the Barron Building to residential use. Administration must return with a one-time budget request in 2022 to formally release the funds (with any unused money returned to the reserve) and report back with analysis on a possible downtown heritage incentive program.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the zoning of the 0.05 ha (0.13 acre) lot at 2404 22 Street NW from Residential Grade-Oriented Infill to a Direct Control district so a rowhouse development can be built. The Direct Control designation includes site-specific guidelines that will govern the design and construction of the rowhouses.
Council approved an amendment to the Winston Heights/Mountview Area Redevelopment Plan and rezoned a 0.28 ha parcel at 415 31 Ave NE from Multi-Residential Grade Oriented to a Direct Control district with specific development guidelines. This change permits multi-residential (e.g., apartments or townhouses) development on the site under the approved rules.
Requires City administration to review municipal bylaws and relevant provincial legislation to find gaps and opportunities to better deal with 'problem' and derelict properties, including exploring definitions and the option to tax derelict properties at different rates. Administration will also review existing teams, programs and social supports to identify resource gaps and return to Council with proposed bylaw amendments, advocacy approaches, and operational changes by Q2 2023.
Council gave first reading to bylaws that would let the City borrow $10.0 million for city-owned affordable rental units and $5.5 million for the Rundle project, and provide a $5.5 million loan to Calgary Housing Company (CHC) to finance construction. Administration is directed to finalize and sign all required agreements, appoint CHC to operate the housing portfolio, transfer ownership of the Rundle building to CHC when construction is complete, withhold further readings until advertising is done, and keep a related attachment confidential until January 1, 2026.
Approves first reading of bylaws to borrow $10.0M for city-owned affordable rental units and provide a $5.5M loan to Calhome/Calgary Housing Company for the Rundle project, directs Administration to finalize and execute necessary agreements, appoint CHC to operate the portfolio, and transfer Rundle ownership to CHC on completion; final readings are withheld until advertising requirements are met and one attachment is kept confidential until 2026.
Gives first reading to two bylaws that would let the City provide a municipal loan and a City-guaranteed loan to Attainable Homes Calgary Corporation so the organization can renew its credit facility and continue funding attainable housing projects. Final readings are paused until required public advertising is completed, and Administration is directed to update City agreements with the corporation to reflect the renewed credit facility per City policy.
Council approved a bylaw to redesignate the 5.98-hectare site at 12345 - 40 Street SE from Special Purpose Community Institution to a Direct Control district so a temporary homeless shelter can be established. The designation includes site-specific guidelines governing how the shelter will operate on that property.
Council approved the administration's strategies and actions to prepare for and respond to severe hail events. Council also approved a resilient roofing rebate program in principle, which would help property owners install hail-resistant roofing, and directed staff to return with full program details and costs to committee in April 2021.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the land designation for a 1.24-hectare site at 2622 - 39 Avenue NE from Commercial Corridor to a Direct Control district so Assisted Living can be added as an allowable use. This enables development or conversion of the site into an assisted living facility subject to specified design and operating guidelines, affecting local housing and service availability for seniors.
Council instructed city staff to prepare a funding recommendation for a program that promotes weather-resilient building materials to reduce damage from climate-related events. The recommendation must be brought forward for consideration during the 2022 Budget Adjustments in November 2021 and could lead to budget approval for the program.
Requires Administration to prepare and present a funding recommendation for a program that promotes or supports weather-resilient building materials to help lessen climate change impacts. The proposal will be brought forward for Council consideration during the 2022 Budget Adjustments in November 2021; no funds are committed by this motion itself.
This changes Bylaw 47M2021 by deleting references to hens across multiple sections and removing the Urban Livestock Licence for hens (and its fee), while adjusting wording to clarify provisions for bee colonies and pigeons. In practice, hens are taken out of the city’s urban livestock licensing regime (removing the $69 hen licence from the schedule) and bee colony rules/fee ($10) and pigeon wording are updated.
Limits the total number of backyard hen permits in Calgary to 100 for 2022 and 2023, distributed on an equitable basis, and directs Administration to review permit uptake by Q3 2023 and report back with recommendations for 2024 and beyond. In practice this restricts how many households can obtain hen permits during the period and pauses broader licensing until the review.
Allocates $2.175 million from the Fiscal Stability Reserve investment income as a one-time operating budget to pay for year one of a Resilient Roofing Rebate Program that will provide rebates to property owners to upgrade to more durable, climate-resilient roofs. Calgary Building Services must report back to the Priorities and Finance Committee by Q2 2022 with monitoring results, lessons learned, and recommendations for future years.
Council approved the concept of a resilient roofing rebate program and directed Administration to return to the Priorities and Finance Committee (PFC) with full program details in April 2021. The follow-up report must outline eligibility, rebate amounts, implementation steps and budget impacts; if later adopted, the program would provide financial rebates to property owners who upgrade to more durable, climate‑resilient roofing to reduce storm and weather damage.
Adopts a Growth and Development Climate Framework to guide how city growth aligns with climate goals and approves one-time funding of $250,000 in 2021 and $450,000 in 2022 from Fiscal Stability Reserve investment income to deliver related projects. Administration must report implementation progress to the Standing Policy Committee on Planning and Urban Development by Q2 2022 and develop a Carbon Budget to include in the updated Climate Resilience Strategy by Q2 2022.
Council adopts a framework to guide climate actions for growth and development, and approves one-time funding of $250,000 in 2021 and $450,000 in 2022 (total $700,000) from the Fiscal Stability Reserve investment income to deliver the projects. Administration must report implementation progress to the SPC on Planning and Urban Development by Q2 2022 and develop a Carbon Budget to be included in the updated Climate Resilience Strategy by Q2 2022.
Council directed administration to stop work on the Request for Proposal related to golf and to file the committee recommendations. Administration must report back to Council once a year on progress implementing the Golf Sustainability Strategy instead of continuing the RFP process.
Council directs Administration to appoint an officer (internal or external) to lead an interdepartmental team that will assess the financial and environmental liabilities if companies abandon waste and recycling sites, quantify potential costs, and develop enforceable operating and development standards and an enforcement strategy for non‑compliant sites. The officer must be presented (or a job description and funding plan if external) by Q2 2021 and must report back with recommendations and additional tools by Q4 2021.
Directs Administration to wait until the Golf Course Sustainability Framework is implemented and then report back to Council (through the Priorities and Finance Committee) by Q4 2022 with a recommendation on whether to continue outsourcing some or all golf course operations.
Council directs city staff and experts to present to the Utilities and Corporate Services committee about the Alberta government’s decision to rescind the 1976 coal‑mining policy, and asks the Mayor to write the provincial government urging full reinstatement of that policy, more public consultation, and cancellation or suspension of coal leases issued after the rescission to protect the eastern slopes and watershed headwaters. This is an advocacy and information request rather than a direct change to municipal law.
Requires city staff to gather community ideas and implement immediate risk-reduction measures at SW Ring Road connections (90th Ave SW and Fish Creek Blvd), carry out traffic safety audits, confirm planned mitigations and studies, and produce a scoping report with an implementation plan and resource needs ahead of the road opening. Administration must report back to the Transportation and Transit committee by September 1, 2021.
Council gave three readings to a bylaw that repeals Bylaw 26M2020, ending the city's temporary legal requirement to wear face coverings. This removes the municipal mask mandate; private businesses and other authorities may still impose their own mask rules.
This rescinds Calgary's face-covering (mask) bylaw as the city moves into Stage 3 of its Open for Summer Plan, removing the local legal requirement to wear masks in public; public health guidance, provincial or federal orders, and private business rules could still require masks.
Council directs Administration to continue working with the Calgary Police Service on a Community Safety Investment Framework and allows up to $8 million to be used for this work in 2022 from the Calgary Police Service. The Calgary Police Commission and Calgary Police Service must report back each year, alongside Administration, on the investments and outcomes through the CPS annual report so future funding is assessed based on results.
Gives City Administration the authority to declare a snow emergency during significant winter storms so it can mobilize additional crews and resources across the entire city. The change aims to speed up snow and ice removal and improve safety and mobility on roads and sidewalks during major weather events.
Directs City Administration to continue working with the Calgary Police Service on a Community Safety Investment Framework and allows funding of up to $8 million for 2022 from the Calgary Police Service. It also requires the Calgary Police Commission and Service to report annually to Council, via the CPS annual report, on investments made and the outcomes achieved.
Council approves a $45,000 grant from the Council Innovation Fund to support the Clear Justice Guided Police Complaints App, a tool intended to help residents prepare and submit complaints about police. Administration must report back to the Priorities and Finance Committee with the project's outcomes by Q4 2022.
This changes the bylaw so that an animal left in a vehicle is an offence only when the confinement creates a life- or health-threatening situation from extreme heat or cold without proper ventilation or protection. It also removes a separate weather-conditions offence and associated fine schedule, consolidating how officers determine and charge violations related to animals left unattended in vehicles.
Owners of service dogs or guide dogs that meet the provincial qualification must still apply for a City dog licence, but they will not have to pay the licence fee. This keeps municipal records up to date while removing the cost burden for eligible service and guide dog handlers.
Updates Bylaw 47M2021 to clarify that an impounded animal is considered unclaimed if it remains at the Animal Services Centre for 72 hours after the owner acknowledges the impound notice, or 7 days after the owner is legally deemed to have received the notice under Section 75, and the owner has not reclaimed the animal. This defines clear deadlines for reclaiming animals and for the city to proceed with disposition or rehoming.
Removes a specific clause (subsection 11(7)) from the animal control portion of Bylaw 47M2021, eliminating that particular requirement or restriction placed on animal owners. The practical effect is that the rule in 11(7) will no longer be enforceable, which may change owner obligations or enforcement practices and could require a replacement or clarification if unintended gaps are created.
Approves Proposed Bylaw 47M2021 to replace the 2006 Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw, updating rules, owner responsibilities, licensing and enforcement for pets in the city. Directs that Attachment 8 remain confidential under privacy law, likely because it contains personal information.
Council directs Administration to permit alcohol consumption at temporarily designated picnic sites in City parks as a pilot from June 1 to September 7, 2021 (or earlier at the Parks Director's discretion) subject to COVID-19 rules. The specific locations and any rules will be posted on Calgary.ca, and Administration must report back on outcomes by November 2021.
Council gave three readings to amend the Temporary COVID-19 Face Coverings Bylaw to raise the monetary penalty for not wearing a face covering where required. In practice, people who fail to comply with designated face-covering rules will face higher fines, intended to deter noncompliance while enforcement stays the same.
Council sent Report PUD2021-0220 back to Administration to add recommendations developed with the Calgary Police Commission for a new inner‑city police station (possible sites, capital and operating costs, and timelines), measures to help residents and businesses facing higher security costs near supervised consumption services, and proposals for long‑term parking price reductions. Administration must return an amended report to Council by July 2021, which could lead to planning decisions, budget requests, and changes to local security and parking policy.
Council directs Administration to review current bylaws, enforcement, safety risks, and practices (including an environmental scan of other cities) and to report back with recommendations and funding options to the Transportation & Transit committee by Q1 2022 as part of the Neighbourhood Streets Policy Update. Council also asks the Mayor to write to the provincial government asking for any legislative changes needed to enable safe street-level play.
Directs City Administration to do a quick public safety review of storm ponds near high‑risk sites and implement short‑term fixes by Q4 2021, carry out a full citywide safety audit of all storm ponds and report recommendations and funding options by Q3 2022, and immediately expand culturally appropriate public education about pond safety. The practical effect is faster fixes for dangerous ponds, a plan for longer‑term upgrades, and broader public awareness to reduce accidents.
Approves the Administration's plan (Attachment 2) for preparing for and responding to severe hail events, including operational actions, emergency response steps, communication protocols, and recovery measures to protect people, property, and city services.
Council approves the Administration's set of strategies and actions for severe hail events (Attachment 2). This authorizes the city to carry out preparedness, response and mitigation measures—such as response procedures, communication and property/infrastructure protection steps—to reduce harm and damage during hailstorms.
Requires Corporate Security to review and improve emergency response training and materials for all City of Calgary and Council staff, creating plain-language, workplace-specific procedures; add annual drills as appropriate; integrate consistent training into new-employee onboarding; establish ways to update staff on active assailant and other emergencies; and provide access to related resources and awareness opportunities. The aim is to standardize preparedness and make procedures easier to understand and follow across City workplaces.
Council authorizes the Missing Children Society of Canada (Child Search Network / MCSC rescu) web app to be pushed to all City-owned mobile devices, and encourages employees and contractors to install it on personal devices and register for alerts. The City will also join MCSC and Calgary Police Service in public communications to raise awareness about the app and its alert system.
Lowers the default unposted speed limit within Calgary from 50 km/h to 40 km/h effective May 31, 2021. Requires posting 50 km/h signs on existing unposted Collector and Neighbourhood Boulevard roadways unless their design supports lower speeds, directs Administration to create a prioritization framework for reducing speeds on Collector roads (report by Q3 2021), and to provide a preliminary results update by Q2 2023.
Council directs the City Manager and Downtown Strategy team to work with the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation and Calgary Planning Department to assess whether the proposed line is feasible and to develop a plan that includes a downtown stop. This initiates a planning and feasibility study only (no construction or funding is approved) and could lead to future decisions about downtown transit and infrastructure.
Council will give three readings to a bylaw that lets Calgary Transit issue administrative penalty notices and offer early payment options for all Transit Bylaw offences. The amendment also updates the bylaw to address emerging technologies, safety issues, and nuisance behaviours so enforcement and rules are clearer and reflect current transit realities.
Approves changes to Calgary Transit Bylaw 4M81 to let transit users pay fines early and to allow administrative penalty notices for all transit offences. It also modernizes the bylaw to address new technologies, safety issues, and nuisance behaviours, changing how rules are enforced and penalties are issued.
Requires city staff to prepare a coordinated program-level plan to deliver transit projects concurrently, using the Route Ahead prioritization and an integrated community capital investment plan to position the city for future transit funding opportunities. Staff must report back to the Transportation and Transit committee by Q1 2022; completion of Green Line Stage 1 remains the top growth and funding priority and the full Green Line stays prioritized.
Directs City staff to work with landowners and community stakeholders to study creating a pedestrian link up the bluff between the Riley Park Village site and the SAIT/AUArts/Jubilee Station when proposed development intensity exceeds 2.0 FAR. The study will assess technical feasibility, costs, and landownership issues to support transit-oriented development; it is exploratory and does not commit funding or construction.
Requires a minimum of 50% of all future federal and provincial transit capital funding be directed to finish the Green Line LRT from 160th Avenue N to Seton, with priority on completing Council-approved Segment 2B and the North Central convertible mobility corridor if budget shortfalls occur. City administration is to analyze this direction and report back to the Priorities and Finance Committee as soon as possible.
Council moved into a private (closed) meeting to receive confidential legal and financial advice and to discuss proposed changes to the Green Line Board's bylaw and a verbal project update. These discussions concern governance, contracts, costs or schedule issues for the Green Line LRT and could affect oversight, procurement decisions and project delivery.
Council gave three readings to Bylaw 20M2021 to replace the 2007 Livery Transport rules; this formally updates the city's regulatory framework for taxis, ride‑for‑hire and other livery services. The change affects licensing, standards and enforcement for drivers and companies and will impact how passengers access and use these services.
Removes Council Policy TP012, the official Calgary Transportation Plan, eliminating the city's current transportation policy and guidance. This would remove the framework used to guide decisions on roads, transit, active transportation and related projects, creating potential uncertainty for ongoing and future planning until a replacement policy is approved.
Council approved adopting "fee option A" from Report TT2020-1346 Attachment 1 as the city's official fee schedule for the services covered by that report. This establishes which fees will be charged going forward and affects users of the related service(s) and related city revenue and billing practices.
Requires City administration to prepare and present the Safer Mobility Plan Annual Report 2021 to the Standing Policy Committee on Transportation and Transit by the fourth quarter of 2021. This action only requests a report-back for review and does not itself change policy or commit funding.
Permits private companies to operate shared scooters and bike‑share in Calgary if they obtain city permission, follow requirements, and pay the City's administrative costs; excess program revenue must be spent on safety and micromobility improvements in the areas where scooters operate. Administration is directed to pursue bikeshare partnerships that would not cost taxpayers, support year‑round operation when safe, consider renaming cycle tracks, and amend the Traffic Bylaw accordingly.
Council restates its commitment to true reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and publicly condemns vandalism and violence against monuments and churches. The motion is a formal statement urging citizens to respond with kindness, compassion and community; it is symbolic and does not create new policy or funding.
Directs City administration to make advancing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action a corporate priority, requires an annual public report on progress where the City has direct or supporting roles (per the White Goose Flying report), and asks for a budget increase request for the Indigenous Relations Office in the November 2021 deliberations to accelerate those actions.
Council approved a resolution declaring daisies to be the best flower. This is a symbolic, ceremonial statement with no legal, budgetary, or operational effect on city services or policies.
Approves the Calgary Mental Health and Addiction Community Strategy and Action Plan for 2021–2023, and authorizes using remaining Community Action on Mental Health and Addiction funds according to the attached Investment Framework. Directs city administration to bring stakeholders together to implement the plan over 2021–2023 and disbands the Stewardship Group, thanking its members.
