Council directs Administration to acknowledge the Wild Rose Motocross Association's recreational, tourism, social, cultural and economic benefits and to include the group in the Emerging and Evolving Sport Study. Administration is also asked to continue seeking interim land suitable for the not‑for‑profit's needs and to keep direct communications with the association about timing for the South Central Bus Garage and 50 Avenue SE extension projects.

Council will give three readings to Bylaw 40M2025 to formally designate the Sibley Block as a Municipal Historic Resource, legally recognizing its heritage value. The designation places heritage protections on the property, which can restrict alterations and guide future redevelopment and planning approvals for the site.

Directs Administration to develop a new Area Structure Plan (ASP) boundary adjustment approval process based on the existing developer-funded ASP amendment process, and to pilot the approach using the 'D - (Douglas Homes)' East Stoney ASP and the K - North Regional Context Study (portion of Cell B) applications.

Council amended a report to replace Recommendation 1 and approve only the east portion (Attachment 2, Map 2) of Growth Application GA2024-008. This authorizes that specific area to proceed with the proposed land-use/development changes and starts the next steps for zoning, permits and related infrastructure planning in that area.

Council directs administration to amend the Land Use Bylaw to remove a redundant reference to a 21‑day development permit appeal period (since appeal timelines are set in the Municipal Government Act) and to clarify that "permitted with relaxation" development permits are advertised online. Administration is also instructed to advertise and bring these bylaw updates directly to the September 9 public hearing for Council consideration.

Council will revisit its March 18, 2025 decision that instructed Administration to consider any 2026 operating costs needed to enable Growth Application GA2023-005 when prioritizing investments for the November 2025 adjustments. Reconsidering this could remove or change the inclusion of those future operating costs in the investment prioritization, which may affect funding decisions and the timing or approval of the growth application.

Directs Administration to approve growth/development applications at any time provided they do not require new capital investments in mobility (roads/transport), emergency services or utilities to start. Applications that would require new capital must be considered through Council's annual budget process, and any significant future operating or capital costs will still need Council approval in future budgets.

This replaces the prior recommendation and formally approves Growth Application GA2023-005, allowing the proposed development or land-use change to proceed under city review and permitting processes. Approval enables the applicant to move forward with required permits and may affect local infrastructure, services, and future development patterns in the area.

Authorizes Growth Application GA2023-005, as amended per Report IP2025-0197, allowing the proposed change in land use or development to proceed. This approval enables the applicant to move forward with required permits and implementation steps for the specified development (such as new housing, commercial space, or related infrastructure) in the affected area.

Approves the eastern area identified in Attachment 2 (Map 2) of Growth Application GA2024-008, allowing that portion to proceed in the City's land-use and development process. This clears the way for future zoning, subdivision, and development steps for that area, which could lead to new construction and related infrastructure planning.

Directs city administration to amend the Land Use Bylaw to make child-care services a discretionary use in existing approved buildings in low-density residential districts, and to advertise and bring those bylaw changes to the September 9 public hearing. Practically, this would enable Calgary to approve child-care centres in existing homes or buildings in low-density neighbourhoods on a case-by-case basis, potentially increasing local child-care options.

Council directs city administration to amend the Land Use Bylaw to delete a temporary rule that allowed developers to extend the start date for development permits tied to cannabis licences, and to remove textual errors or expired language for clarity. Administration must advertise the changes and bring the updated bylaw directly to the September 9 public hearing, which will prevent further automatic extensions and clarify how the bylaw is interpreted.

Approves Growth Application GA2024-007 as set out in Report IP2025-0335, allowing the proposed development or change in growth parameters to proceed. This authorization enables next steps such as permit processing, implementation actions, or developer activity tied to the approved application.

Replaces the previous recommendation to formally approve Growth Application GA2024-007 so the proposed development or land‑use change can proceed. This authorization enables the applicant to move forward with the planned growth, which may lead to construction and changes in local services, infrastructure use, and neighbourhood character.

Council amends a previous report recommendation to approve Growth Application GA2024-006, authorizing the proposed development or land-use change described in that application to proceed under its terms. This replaces Recommendation 1 in the cited report and allows implementation of the project subject to any conditions in the application.

Directs City Administration to approve growth/development applications at any time provided they do not require new capital investments in mobility, emergency services, or utilities to start. Applications that would require new capital must be considered during Council's annual budget process, and any significant future operating or capital costs will still need later budget approval.

Directs administration to prepare changes to the Land Use Bylaw so that when a secondary suite is combined with low-density residential development located in a multi-residential district, the property is regulated under low-density residential rules. In practice this clarifies which zoning standards (such as setbacks, unit counts, parking and form) apply to those suites and will affect permit and development approvals for affected properties.

Directs city administration to change the Land Use Bylaw definition so that Special Function Class 1 explicitly includes "neighbourhood activation." This will give neighbourhoods more flexibility to host local events and activations by easing how those activities are classified and permitted.

Council replaces an earlier recommendation and approves Growth Application GA2024-005, formally allowing the proposed development or land-use change to proceed through the city's planning process. This enables the applicant to advance to the next steps (such as permits, servicing, or zoning implementation) subject to any remaining conditions or requirements.

Council approved Growth Application GA2024-006, as amended, per Report IP2025-0198, authorizing the proposed development or land-use change to proceed under the report's conditions. This allows the project to move forward and may enable new housing or commercial space and require related infrastructure or service adjustments in the affected area.

Council approved Growth Application GA2024-005 as set out in Report IP2025-0196, allowing the proposed development or change in growth capacity to move forward. This authorization lets the project proceed to permitting and may affect local land use, infrastructure needs, and community services in the area involved.

Council approved Growth Application GA2024-004 (as amended), allowing the proposed land‑use and development changes in that application to proceed. This authorizes the related construction or changes in density and may affect local housing supply, traffic, and municipal services depending on the project's scale.

Replaces the prior recommendation and approves Growth Application GA2024-004, allowing the proposed development or land-use change to proceed under city planning approvals. This enables the applicant to move forward with the specified project, which may lead to construction, changes in land use, and effects on local services, infrastructure and neighbouring properties.

Approves three readings of bylaws to officially designate six named sites (East Calgary Substation; Upton Residence; Capitol Hill Park; Century Gardens; Triangle Park and Scotland Street Plot; and the Historic Parks of Upper Mount Royal) as Municipal Historic Resources. This gives those places legal heritage protection that can restrict demolition or major alterations, require heritage approvals for changes, and enable conservation measures or incentives.

This motion asks Council to reopen and review its prior decision on two specific recommendations in the Land Use Bylaw housekeeping amendments from the May 6, 2025 public hearing. It does not itself change the bylaw but allows Council to re‑debate and potentially amend or reverse those prior recommendations.

Council sent Report CD2025-0047 back to city staff to carry out additional community-based consultation and to return to the Community and Development Committee in Q1 2026 with updated recommendations reflecting that input. This delays a final decision to allow more public input and may change the report's recommendations based on community feedback.

Council directs Administration to prepare amendments to the Municipal Development Plan and the Northeast Industrial Area Structure Plan (including a Comprehensive Planning Overlay for lands in LOC2024-0171) to permit residential development, and to bring those amendments directly to a Public Hearing on March 4, 2025 for three readings (without prior Calgary Planning Commission consideration). The report must also set out next steps and timelines for subsequent land use, outline plan and statutory plan amendments, returning to a Public Hearing no later than March 31, 2026 — a step that could enable future rezoning and housing development in the industrial area.

Council will repeal the existing bylaw that designated the Walter Hargrave Residence as a Municipal Historic Resource and adopt a new bylaw to re-designate it. The action updates the legal designation (while retaining heritage protection) and finalizes the change by giving the bylaws three readings.

Adds four new paragraphs to Chapter 1 that describe the local identity and sense of place for Hounsfield Heights-Briar Hill, West Hillhurst, Hillhurst, and Sunnyside. The text is intended to be read with the plan's urban form and building scale maps and relevant policies to provide context and guidance for planners, councillors, residents and developers about community aspirations for future development and use of public and private sites; it does not by itself change zoning or regulatory policy.

Directs City administration to prepare a report, using the UCS2018-0912 framework, on how the City can dispose of property to non-profit organizations and charities at below-market value and to report back to the Infrastructure and Planning Committee by Q2 2025. This is a request for analysis and options only — it does not approve any specific transfers but could inform future below-market disposals for community services or affordable housing.

Adds a sentence to Chapter 4 clarifying that policy language using the word "should" is directional and not optional, and directs readers to Sections 4.2(i) and (j) for interpretation guidance before reading Chapters 2 and 3. This is an interpretive clarification to help residents and implementers understand policy intent and application, not a substantive change to the policies themselves.

Council sent Report IP2024-0938 back to Administration and asked staff to prioritize increased housing density around Transit Oriented Development (TOD) sites in the Riley Communities Local Area Plan, and to focus planning on multimodal mobility, walkability, and mixed commercial/residential uses that are accessible to all ages and abilities. Administration is to report back to the Infrastructure and Planning Committee by Q2 2025.

Council gave three readings to bylaws that formally designate the Jones and Magarrell residences as Municipal Historic Resources. This legally protects the two properties under heritage rules, limiting demolition or major alterations and making them subject to heritage review and potentially eligible for preservation incentives.

Council directs city staff to continue working with applicants on the next planning steps for the Belvedere 2022 projects (outline plans and land-use applications) and to evaluate required capital infrastructure and operating costs. Those investment needs will be considered alongside other proposals during the Mid‑Cycle Adjustment to the 2023–2026 Service Plans and Budgets, which could lead to future funding decisions to enable the developments.

Directs Administration to continue working with the applicant to progress the outline plan and land‑use applications so Growth Application GA2024‑001 moves forward in a timely way, and to identify the capital and operating investments required to support the development for consideration in the mid‑cycle adjustment to the 2023–2026 Service Plans and Budgets. It requests assessment and inclusion of these investment needs alongside other priorities but does not itself approve funding.

Requires City administration to continue working with the applicant on the next planning stages (outline plan and land use applications) to keep Growth Application GA2024-001 moving in a timely manner. Also removes the words "That Council" from the existing recommendation and renumbers that recommendation, a minor procedural wording change.

Directs city administration to continue working with the applicants on next-stage planning steps (outline plan and land‑use applications) so the Belvedere 2022 open business cases move forward in a timely manner. Also removes the words "That Council" from an existing recommendation and renumbers that recommendation as Recommendation 2, a minor procedural edit.

Directs Administration to continue working with the applicant on outline plan and land use applications so the growth application moves forward in a timely way, and to consider the capital and operating investments required to enable that growth as part of the mid-cycle adjustment to the 2023–2026 service plans and budgets. This will shape future budget requests and infrastructure planning for the area.

Instructs city staff to continue working with the applicant on the next planning stages (outline plan and land use applications) so growth application GA2023-004 moves forward in a timely way, and amends the report by removing the words 'That Council' from the existing recommendation and renumbering it as Recommendation 2.

Directs city administration to continue working with the applicant on the next planning stages (outline plan and land use applications) so Growth Application GA2024-003 moves forward in a timely way. Also removes the words That Council from the existing recommendation and renumbers that recommendation, a procedural wording change to clarify the report's recommendations.

Directs city staff to keep working with the applicant to complete outline plan and land‑use applications so Growth Application GA2023-004 moves forward promptly. It also requires Administration to identify and consider the operating investments needed to support this development as part of the mid‑cycle adjustment to the 2023–2026 service plans and budgets.

Directs City staff to continue working with the applicant to plan future stages of capital infrastructure (roads, utilities and related works), and to coordinate the timing and funding of delivery so growth under the West View Area Structure Plan can proceed without interruption.

Council will keep working with the applicant to plan timing and delivery of future capital infrastructure so growth in the Providence Area Structure Plan can continue, but it will not include the capital or operating investments needed for Growth Application GA2023-001 in the Mid-Cycle Adjustment to the 2023–2026 Service Plans and Budgets, delaying funding decisions to a later budget cycle.

Directs the City to keep working with the developer/applicant to plan future stages of capital infrastructure (roads, utilities and related works) for the Providence Area Structure Plan, including when funding and construction should occur. The intent is to coordinate timing and delivery so growth in Providence can continue smoothly; this is a planning and coordination step rather than an immediate funding commitment.

Council cancels the April 22, 2024 public hearing and directs City Administration to prepare a citywide referendum on blanket rezoning to be held alongside the municipal election on October 20, 2025. Practically, this shifts the rezoning decision from the council/public hearing process to a vote of all electors, likely delaying council action and requiring election planning, voter materials, and potential additional costs.

Council sent the report back to Administration to draft bylaw changes that would allow Recreational Vehicles to be parked on residential front driveways for up to three consecutive days, after which the RV must be removed for at least three days. Administration must also propose on-street and off-street rules to prevent nuisance or safety issues from moving RVs back and forth, and report back through the Community Development Committee by Q4 2024.

Council gave three readings to bylaws that officially designate the Cross Residence, Lawless Residence, Nimmons Residence, and Plaza Theatre as Municipal Historic Resources. This gives those buildings legal heritage protection under city rules, meaning changes or demolitions will be restricted and require heritage approvals to preserve their historic character.

Passes a bylaw to formally recognize the Stewart Livery Stable as a Municipal Historic Resource. This gives the building legal heritage protection that restricts demolition and exterior changes, guides future development or alterations, and may make the site eligible for conservation support.

Council approved proceeding with changes to the Temporary Signs on Highways bylaw and directed Administration to report back by the end of Q4 2024 on enforcement updates, including success rates. This will change how temporary signs are regulated along highways and require follow-up monitoring to measure compliance and enforcement effectiveness.

Council gave three readings to bylaws to designate the Crawford Residence, the Kalbfleish Residence, and the Petro-Fina Building as Municipal Historic Resources. This formal designation protects their heritage features, limits who can alter them without heritage approval, and may make them eligible for preservation incentives or grants.

Council directs City administration to implement the Citywide Growth Strategy’s 2023 Industrial Action Plan (Attachment 2). This means the city will carry out the recommended steps to guide industrial land use, infrastructure, servicing and related policies to support industrial growth across Calgary.

Removes the property's existing all-directions vehicle access onto 17 Avenue SE so vehicles can no longer turn in all directions at that driveway. Administration must redesign the eastern access or negotiate an alternative with the landowner and the ward councillor by June 30, 2023, changing how vehicles enter and exit the site and potentially affecting local traffic flow and safety.

Council directs administration to use a one-time $2 million heritage incentive fund to prioritize support for properties seeking new Municipal Historic Resource designation, and to not offer the Residential Heritage Tax Incentive program in 2023. Practically, this shifts heritage funding toward designations rather than residential tax breaks for homeowners this year.

Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the land-use for the small lot at 2140 5 Avenue NW from R-C2 to R-CG. Practically, this permits redevelopment under R-CG rules for ground-oriented infill housing (for example townhouses or small multi-unit buildings), which can allow more or different types of homes on the site and may affect local setbacks, height, parking and neighbourhood character.

Approves final readings of a bylaw to change the land use of the 0.79 ha property at 17 Elveden Drive SW from Direct Control to Residential One Dwelling (R-1). This allows the lot to be developed or redeveloped for single‑detached housing under R-1 rules.

Changes the official land-use for 4.30 hectares (10.63 acres) at 2505 Country Hills Boulevard NE from Commercial Corridor districts to Industrial Commercial (I-C), enabling industrial and compatible commercial development on the site. This allows future industrial or mixed commercial uses that can alter local traffic, employment opportunities, and the character of nearby land use.

Council gave three readings to bylaws to officially designate the Athlone Building, Barron Building, Gray Residence, McAdam Residence, and Reliance (Armour) Block as Municipal Historic Resources. These designations protect the buildings' heritage features by requiring approval for significant alterations and may make the properties eligible for conservation support or incentives.

Adopts a bylaw redesignating a 0.47-hectare site at 473 12 Ave SE from a site-specific Direct Control district to the Centre City Mixed Use (CC-X) land-use district. This change allows the property to follow standard CC-X rules, enabling higher-density mixed residential and commercial development and changing what future permits and developments are allowed on that parcel.

Council gave three readings to Bylaw 183D2022 to change zoning for a 5.00-hectare (12.36-acre) site at 19655 Seton Way SE from Direct Control to Commercial Regional 3 (C-R3 f1.0 h20). This allows regional-scale commercial development on the site with a 1.0 floor area ratio and a maximum height of about 20 metres, enabling future commercial buildings, services and jobs consistent with the new zoning.

Council approved giving three readings to Bylaw 68P2022 to formally amend the East Stoney Area Structure Plan. This updates the planning framework for the East Stoney area, enabling revised land-use rules and infrastructure planning that allow and guide future development there.

Council approves the proposed secondary (ceremonial/alternative) names for a list of streets in NW Calgary. These secondary names will be recorded for municipal use and used on signage and city records alongside the existing primary street names, with no change to primary addresses.

Changes the land-use designation for the property at 1427 29 Street SW (0.06 ha) from Residential Contextual One/Two Dwelling (R-C2) to Residential Grade-Oriented Infill (R-CG). This allows ground-oriented infill housing forms (for example townhouses or rowhouses), enabling potential redevelopment to increase housing units and alter local neighbourhood density and built form.

Changes the land-use designation for the property at 342 32 Ave NE (about 0.05 ha) from low-density single/two-unit zoning to a multi-residential, grade-oriented district. This allows for multi-unit housing (such as townhouses or low-rise apartments) on the site, enabling increased housing density and potential new development in the neighbourhood.

This bylaw changes the land use of the 0.06 ha property at 516 40 Ave NW from a neighbourhood commercial zone to a multi-residential, contextual grade-oriented zone (MCGd75). Practically, it allows developers to build ground-oriented multi-unit housing on the site instead of commercial uses, enabling denser residential development and altering the property's permitted uses and potential building form.

Council gave final approval to Bylaw 174D2022 to change the land-use of two lots (total 0.11 ha) at 3107 42 St SW and 4301 30 Ave SW from RC2 (one- and two-dwelling) to R-CGex (residential grade-oriented infill). The change permits higher-density, ground-oriented housing such as rowhouses or small multi-unit buildings on these sites, enabling redevelopment and more housing options while potentially affecting neighbourhood character, parking and traffic.

Council gave three readings to amend the Forest Lawn–Forest Heights / Hubalta Area Redevelopment Plan and to rezone a 0.06 ha parcel at 2402 41 St SE from R-C2 to R-CG. The change enables grade‑oriented infill housing (for example townhouses or small multi-unit homes) on the lot, allowing slightly higher density and different housing forms in the neighbourhood.

This rezones a single lot at 114 Hounslow Drive NW from R-C2 (single- or two-unit homes) to R-CG (grade-oriented infill). The change allows ground-oriented multi-unit infill (for example townhomes or small multi-unit buildings), enabling potential redevelopment that can add more dwelling units and modestly increase neighbourhood density.

Council approved first, second and third readings of a bylaw to change the zoning of the 0.06 ha property at 4316 10 Avenue SW from R-C2 to R-CG. The redesignation allows redevelopment for grade-oriented infill housing (for example townhouses or ground‑oriented multi‑unit homes), which could enable more housing units on the lot and affect local neighbourhood form and density.

Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the zoning of the property at 44 Wheatland Avenue SW from R-C1 (single‑detached) to R-CGex (Residential Grade‑Oriented Infill). This allows the small lot to be redeveloped for more intensive ground‑oriented housing types than a single detached home, enabling potential infill or multi-unit development on the site.

Council approved first reading of a bylaw to change the zoning of 7 Covepark Rise NE from single‑family (R-1N) to a Direct Control district so a child care service can operate there. Second and third readings are being withheld until the required development permit is at the point of approval, so the rezoning is not finalized yet.

Council adopted all three readings of Bylaw 67P2022 to update the North Hill Communities Local Area Plan. The change revises local planning policies and guidance that will shape future land use, development approvals and neighbourhood planning in the North Hill area.

Council gave three readings to Bylaw 166D2022 to change the land-use of 4103 42 Street SW from R-C2 to R-CG. This permits redevelopment or conversion of the single lot for grade-oriented infill housing (for example townhouses or small multi-unit ground-oriented homes), allowing different or additional housing types at that address.

Council gives three readings to amend the Montgomery Area Redevelopment Plan and to rezone a 0.06 ha parcel at 5008 21 Ave NW from R-C1 (single dwelling) to R-C2 (one- or two-dwelling). This allows the property to be redeveloped for up to two residential units (e.g., a duplex), slightly increasing local housing density on that lot.

Changes the zoning of two small lots at 1308 17 Ave NW (about 0.06 ha) from Residential Grade Oriented Infill to a Direct Control district so a specific ground-level housing development can be built under site-specific guidelines. Council giving three readings will enact the bylaw and allow a tailored housing project that differs from the existing zoning rules.

Council gave three readings to amend the Hillhurst/Sunnyside Area Redevelopment Plan and to rezone 102 16 Street NW (about 0.05 ha) from Residential Contextual One/Two Dwelling (R-C2) to a Direct Control district. This change allows a multi-residential building to be developed on the site under the approved site-specific guidelines.

This motion removes the current Schedule C of Bylaw 65P2022 and substitutes it with an updated version of that schedule. Practically, it updates the specific provisions, maps, or lists contained in Schedule C and changes how those parts of the bylaw are applied, without altering the main body of the bylaw.

Council is closing out the rezoning process for the property at 114 Hounslow Drive NW by filing the redesignation records and abandoning Bylaw 168D2022. As a result, the proposed change from R-C2 (two-dwelling) to R-CG (grade-oriented infill) will not proceed through the bylaw process.

Council approves the Chinatown Cultural Plan, gives first reading to a new Chinatown Area Redevelopment Plan bylaw, and delays final readings until the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board approves the ARP. Once the bylaw is finally passed, the Chinatown Handbook of Public Improvements will be rescinded and the old Bylaw 3P86 (previous ARP) will be repealed, updating planning rules and guidance for Chinatown's redevelopment.

Council gave three readings to a bylaw that changes the zoning of the small lot at 3303 42 Street SW from R-C2 (one/two dwelling) to RCGex (residential grade-oriented infill). Practically, this allows the property owner to build ground-oriented multi-unit housing (for example townhouses or similar infill forms) under different rules for density, setbacks and design, enabling modestly increased residential development on the site.

This changes the zoning for a small property (about 0.06 ha) at 2020 51 Avenue SW from single‑dwelling (R-C1) to one/two dwelling (R-C2). Practically, it allows the lot to be used for a duplex or two separate dwelling units instead of only a single house, enabling modestly increased housing density and redevelopment options for the property.

Adopts a bylaw to change the zoning of 2711 40 Street SW from Residential Contextual One Dwelling (R-C1) to Residential Contextual One / Two Dwelling (R-C2), allowing a duplex or two dwelling units instead of a single detached home. The three readings finalize the rezoning and enable a modest increase in housing density and potential infill development on the 0.06 ha lot.

Council will give three readings to two bylaws: one that updates the North Hill Communities Local Area Plan and another that amends the Land Use Bylaw to establish Heritage Guideline Areas. This will change local planning and development rules and add heritage protection/design guidance for the affected neighbourhoods in North Hill.

Approves a one-time withdrawal of $1.000 million in 2023 and $1.005 million in 2024 (total $2.005 million) from the Planning & Development Sustainment Reserve to finance the implementation of the Calgary Plan. The funds will support planning work, public engagement, studies and other activities required to execute the city's planning initiative.

Council directs Administration to treat $7.5 million for converting the Barron Building to residential use as a high-priority one-time funding request for the 2026 budget. If the money is approved, Administration will open a program intake, negotiate funding agreements with approved applicants, and perform eligibility due diligence on applicants.

Council directs Administration to exempt United Place from the program rule that it be currently classified as commercial office/non-residential so the building can be considered for conversion to residential units in future rounds of the Downtown Calgary Development Incentive Program. Administration will still require the project to meet all other program requirements, pass due diligence, and be scored against other applications with only the highest-scoring projects recommended for approval.

Gives first reading to bylaws to raise and extend The City's guarantee for AHCC's revolving loan facility and to authorize the City to borrow funds if that guarantee is called. Final readings are postponed until required public advertising is completed; Administration must update City–AHCC agreements to reflect the renewed credit facility and related policies, and one attachment is to remain confidential until review on 2028-07-15.

Directs city administration to amend the Land Use Bylaw to eliminate the requirement for mobility storage lockers in the R-CG and H-GO zoning districts (while keeping Class 1 storage requirements). The change is intended to reduce construction costs for housing and the administration must advertise the bylaw updates and bring them to the September 9 public hearing.

Council directs Administration to create a comprehensive hail resilience program that will lead a Hail Resilience Improvement Network, develop Calgary-specific hail exposure maps, and perform a Hail Equity Impact Analysis to help residents make informed home-protection decisions and to guide planning and policy. Council also asks the Mayor to request the Province create a grant program for low-income homeowners to pay for hail protection upgrades and to amend the Municipal Government Act to allow such upgrades as part of City-offered resilience programs.

Council directs Administration to return by Q3 2026 with a report evaluating how the City's density bonusing rules have been used to secure affordable housing (particularly in the Greater Downtown and other areas). The report must cover how negotiations work, types and numbers of affordable units secured, length of affordability, any rental subsidies, staff time and costs to administer agreements, and a comparison to other jurisdictions to inform future policy decisions.

Council directs Administration to create a policy that prohibits short-term rental use of secondary suites developed or upgraded with the City's secondary suite incentive program for a set period. Applicants must agree to this condition to receive funding and the city will establish monitoring and enforcement; Administration must report back with an implementation framework by May 31, 2025.

Establishes a bylaw giving property tax exemptions to non-market housing owned by non-profit organizations, changes an eligibility threshold from "80 percent of the average" to "90 percent of the median," and adopts a policy to provide municipal tax mitigation while exempt properties are under construction or renovation. This reduces operating costs for non-profit affordable housing providers and supports development, while reducing property tax revenue from the affected properties during the exemption/mitigation period.

Council directs Administration to return by Q2 2026 with a scoping report, workplan, and budget request to design a city-wide tax incentive program for multi-residential developments. The study may create residential tax sub-classes and updated assessment/tax models that reflect how higher density affects per-capita service costs and productivity, potentially changing tax levels and influencing where and what types of multi-unit housing are built.

Requires City staff to identify alternative off-street locations for people living in recreational vehicles and deliver a scoping report to the Community Development committee by the end of Q3 2025. The report must outline steps for designation or rezoning, public engagement, capital upgrades, safety and security, financing, and options for a third-party organization to manage site(s), which could lead to creation of managed RV parking sites.

Council directs Administration to return by Q2 2026 with a scoping report, workplan, and budget request to design a Vacant Property Tax Program that uses variable tax rates to incentivize development of vacant land and derelict residential properties, sets eligibility criteria, and outlines communications and bylaw recommendations. The report will also recommend whether new residential subclasses are needed and propose directing net tax revenues, after program costs, to the Housing Land Fund to support affordable housing capital.

Council directs city staff to return by Q2 2026 with a scoping report, workplan, and budget request to create a program that could use Bill 20 authority to partially or fully exempt purpose-built rental buildings from property taxes at city-identified transit-oriented development (TOD) sites. This would be intended to encourage rental housing near transit but could reduce property tax revenue and will be considered for inclusion in the 2027–2030 service plans and budgets.

Council directs city staff to study whether short-term rentals in properties that are not the owner’s primary residence should be placed in a tax subclass and taxed at the same rate as non-residential properties. The study must identify legislative and technical requirements and return to Council by Q2 2025; this is an exploratory step and any tax change would require a later decision.

Council approved the Administration's recommended policy tools for short-term rentals and gave three readings to a bylaw that will amend the city's Business Licence Bylaw. Practically, this starts the legal changes to how short-term rental operators are licensed and regulated, enabling new rules and enforcement to manage impacts on housing supply and neighbourhoods.

This amendment cancels $4,000,000 in previously approved funding for the Secondary Suites/Backyard Suite incentive program for 2025 and 2026. Practically, it eliminates planned financial incentives for homeowners and builders to add secondary or backyard rental units, likely reducing support for creating new affordable rental units during those years.

This amendment cancels $4 million previously approved for incentives to encourage creation of secondary and backyard suites in 2025 and 2026. Practically, fewer or smaller incentives will be available to homeowners, which may reduce the number of new rental/affordable units created through the program and slow expected housing supply from these initiatives.

Council approved the Terms of Reference that define how a Secondary Suite Incentive Program will operate, including its goals, eligibility, and administration. This creates the framework to offer incentives aimed at encouraging more legal secondary suites and increasing rental housing supply in Calgary.

Council directs city administration to quickly work with the HomeSpace Society to identify, assess and transfer a suitable City-owned parcel at a nominal price so HomeSpace can build a high-complexity supportive housing facility. Eligible transaction costs will be paid from the Housing Land Fund, enabling development of housing for people with complex needs.

This amendment cuts $4 million from the base budget of Investment Option 14, which funds the City of Calgary's secondary suite incentive program under the Housing Strategy. Practically, it will reduce available incentives and support for creating secondary suites, likely slowing the delivery of that affordable rental supply.

This amendment directs Council to waive all Secondary Suite/Backyard Suite application fees and Secondary Suite Registry fees for 2024, 2025 and 2026 by updating the referenced attachments in Report C2023-1148. Practically, homeowners will pay no city fees to apply for or register legal secondary suites during those three years, lowering upfront costs and encouraging more rental supply.

This amendment sets permit and registry fees for Secondary Suites and Backyard Suites to $0 in 2024, 2025 and 2026, by updating the report attachments. Homeowners will not pay those fees during the period, which may encourage more legal or new suites but will reduce related city fee revenue.

This amendment cuts $4 million in base funding from Investment Option 14 of The City of Calgary's Housing Strategy, specifically reducing support for the secondary suite incentive program. Practically, it means less money will be available to encourage or subsidize the creation of secondary rental suites, which could slow the addition of lower-cost rental units and reduce program uptake.

Requires Administration to prepare budget-related recommendations for the Housing Strategy to be included in the November 2023 budget adjustments, continue implementing actions that need further public engagement or council approval, and report annually to the Community Development Committee on process costs, permit timelines, housing starts, and verified data showing savings passed to consumers. Also refers a Housing Security Commission item to the October 31 committee and directs that three public submissions (with one specified submission) be kept confidential under FOIP until related agreements are executed or disclosure is authorized.

Council asked city staff to take the feedback provided by Councillors into account when preparing or updating the Corporate Housing Strategy. This directs staff to use Council input to inform the strategy but does not itself approve any policy changes or funding.

Council received the Housing and Affordability Task Force recommendations, directed Administration to provide quarterly implementation updates on items that do not need new funding (starting Q4 2023), and asked that any actions requiring additional budget be brought forward to the Executive Committee for consideration. The motion also disbands the Task Force and thanks its members for their service.

Cancels the municipal portion of 2023 property taxes for Calgary Housing Company (about $1,594,522.67), reducing CHC's operating costs for that year. It also directs the Mayor and administration to seek cancellation of the provincial portion for 2023, asks Council to consider a future bylaw to exempt CHC properties from property tax, and commits the City to advocate for broader tax exemptions for non‑profit housing providers.

Council received the Task Force recommendations, disbanded the Housing and Affordability Task Force, and directed Administration to fold those recommendations into the Corporate Affordable Housing Strategy for a September 2023 committee report. Administration must show which recommendations were incorporated, spell out corporate impacts (e.g., land use, parking, downtown incentive funding), bring specific actions that need new budget to Executive Committee, and report quarterly on implementation starting Q4 2023.

Council received the Task Force recommendations, disbanded the Task Force, and directed Administration to fold those recommendations into the ongoing Corporate Affordable Housing Strategy updates due to Community Development Committee in September 2023. Administration must indicate which recommendations were incorporated, identify corporate-wide implications (such as land use, parking, or downtown incentives), bring forward specific actions including those requiring new budget resources for committee/Council consideration, and report quarterly on implementation starting Q4 2023.

Council gave three readings to Proposed Bylaw 21M2023 to amend the Suite Registry Bylaw 11M2018, updating the rules and processes for registering and regulating secondary suites. This will affect property owners and landlords who must register suites and follow any revised requirements or compliance procedures.

Council gave first reading to bylaws that would allow the City to guarantee an operating loan and provide a municipal loan to Attainable Homes Calgary Corporation to support its housing operations. Second and third readings are paused until required public advertising is completed, and Administration is directed to update city agreements to reflect the renewed credit facility.

Council endorsed The City of Calgary's Rapid Housing Initiative 3 investment plan, approved the recommendations in Attachment 3, and directed that the report and most attachments remain confidential under FOIP until related agreements are executed or disclosure is agreed for communications; Attachment 6 will remain confidential. Practically, this allows the city to proceed with the RHI3 investments and related negotiations while keeping implementation details private during contracting and intergovernmental discussions.

This gives final approval (three readings) to Bylaw 53M2022 to change the Suite Registry Bylaw 11M2018. If enacted, the amendment will modify how secondary suites are registered and regulated in Calgary, affecting suite owners/operators and city registration/enforcement processes.

Council gave first reading to a bylaw that would extend for five years a $6.3 million municipal loan to Bridge Attainable Housing Society, and directed Administration to finalize all required amendments and security documents. Second and third readings are withheld until statutorily required public advertising is completed, and one attachment is to remain confidential until reviewed by September 30, 2028.

Council directs the Chief Human Resource Officer to negotiate a contract extension with Sohail Thaker of Sia Partners so he can continue acting as Council's advisor on performance management of the Chief Administrative Officer and the City Auditor through October 31, 2026. The related closed-meeting discussions and confidential materials will remain confidential under sections 20 and 22 of the Access to Information Act.

Names the City's Director, Law as the second Head of the local public body under section 98 of the federal Access to Information Act, giving that official authority to handle or oversee access-to-information decisions. Also gives three readings to amend the City Clerk Bylaw so the appointment and related administrative changes are formally enacted.

Authorizes City Council to formally adopt Procedure Bylaw 42M2025 by giving it the required three readings. This enacts or updates the rules that govern how Council meetings are run, including agenda, debate and voting procedures.

Adopts a formal policy on how a vacant City Council seat will be handled, updates the Councillors' Assistants Policy (PAC005), and gives three readings to Bylaw 45M2025 to put these changes into effect. In practice this clarifies the procedures for filling vacancies and governs the roles and rules for councillors' assistants.

Council approved bylaws allowing the City to send property assessment notices and Assessment Review Board (ARB) documents electronically and repealed an older Charter bylaw. Practically, affected property owners may receive legally valid assessment and appeal documents by email or other electronic methods instead of paper mail, so residents should keep their contact information current and monitor electronic communications for official notices.

Council appoints one public member to the Silvera for Seniors board for the term specified in confidential materials, will publicly announce the appointment after Silvera notifies the applicant and no later than Aug 26, 2025, and formally thanks departing member Rick Bennett. Certain attachments and selection materials remain confidential to protect personal privacy and evaluation details.

Thanks two departing public members for their service, appoints the recommended candidate as a Public Member of the Assessment Review Board through December 31, 2025, and records the Deputy Chief's appointment as an Administration Member of the Community Peace Officer Oversight Committee. It also directs the City Clerk to publish the new public member appointment after the appointee is notified and accepts, and keeps the related candidate evaluations confidential under sections 20 and 22 of the Access to Information Act.

Council directs Administration to fund and hire an independent third-party consultant to conduct a comprehensive post-implementation review of the City's 2023 organizational realignment, examining total costs, new positions, staff impacts (role clarity, workload, well‑being), measurable outcomes and whether intended efficiencies were achieved. The review's findings and recommendations must be made public and reported back to Council by Q4 2026.

Council acknowledges the CAO will disclose his annual base salary after any Council-approved adjustment and directs Administration to publish, every year, the full salary pay band for the Chief Administrative Officer position including minimum and maximum. This makes top executive pay and the allowable salary range public for transparency and public accountability.

Directs Administration to continue voluntarily publishing councillors' quarterly public disclosures—gifts and personal benefits, supporting details for budget and expense disclosures, meetings, and fundraising under the council fundraising guidelines—where permitted by law, and advances Proposed Bylaw 38M2025 by giving it three readings to amend the Councillors Budgets and Expenses Bylaw. In practice this maintains public access to councillors' disclosures for transparency and moves a formal bylaw change through the approval process.

Council directed the City Clerk to draft a replacement procedure bylaw to repeal Procedure Bylaw 35M2017, with the new bylaw to be ready for Council approval before 2025-09-22 and take effect 2025-10-29. The new bylaw must incorporate recommendations from the City Clerk and from Members of Council, and will set updated rules for how Council meetings and procedures are run.

Council will give three readings to a proposed bylaw that revises the mandate of the Calgary Salutes Committee and will approve the committee's annual operating budget, using funds already allocated within the Partnerships business unit and Neighbourhood Support service line. This updates the committee's formal role and provides the money it needs to operate from existing city resources (no new funding requested).

Council directs that Closed Meeting discussions and Confidential Attachments 2 and 3 remain confidential under FOIP Section 23 until reviewed by December 31, 2026, while allowing those materials to be released to Corporate Planning and Performance and, if needed, shared with Administration only to support next steps.

Council authorized the City Solicitor and Chief Administrative Officer to end the contract of the city's Integrity Commissioner in accordance with the existing contract, and recorded thanks for her service. Practically, this ends the current Integrity Commissioner’s role immediately or per contract timelines and may require interim arrangements or a process to appoint a successor for handling ethics complaints and oversight.

Council directs administration to issue an RFP by Q4 2025 to hire third-party consultants to produce a citywide review of misinformation, disinformation and malinformation (MDM) by Q2 2026. The review will assess Administration's role and current processes, examine trends (including AI), explore a reporting framework, analyze a recent case study's impact on democratic decision-making, and authorizes funding for a communications resource with a 2026 budget request to complete the RFP work.

Directs Administration to update any council policies or bylaws that reference 26M2018 so they comply with the Municipal Government Act for reporting ward budget spending; keep an opt-in process for councillors to publicly report gifts, meetings, and events; create a respectful workplace policy for councillor staff that councillors can adopt in contracts; and report back to Executive Committee by June 17, 2025 with completed items or timelines for outstanding work.

Appoints specific candidates to the Advisory Committee on Accessibility, the Calgary Aboriginal Urban Affairs Committee, and the Social Wellbeing Advisory Committee, records Christian Lee's appointment as Member and Chair of the Calgary Planning Commission, and thanks outgoing members. Directs the City Clerk to publish appointments after appointee notification and acceptance, while keeping certain attachment details confidential under FOIP.

Approves three readings of a bylaw to formally dissolve the Event Centre Committee and repeal Bylaw 46M2022, ending that committee's governance role over the event centre. The motion also records thanks to public members Deborah Yedlin and Brad Parry; this is an administrative governance change with limited direct impact on city services.

Council confirms the jury's recommended winner of the 2025 W.O. Mitchell Book Prize, directs that the jury recommendation document (Attachment 1) remain confidential under FOIP Section 17, and instructs the City Clerk to publish the prize recipient on the City's website after the Calgary Awards presentation on June 18, 2025.

Council confirms the selection juries' recommendations for the 2025 Calgary Awards, orders the detailed recipient list to remain confidential under FOIP Section 17 until the awards presentation, and directs the City Clerk to publish the winners on the City's website after the June 18, 2025 ceremony.

Appoints one public member to the Silvera for Seniors board for the term shown in the confidential materials, directs that the appointment be publicly announced after Silvera notifies the applicant and no later than end of day March 21, 2025, thanks resigning member Salima Shivji, and keeps specified attachments and selection materials confidential under FOIP sections 17 and 19.

Council thanks departing public members and appoints new public and administrative members to several advisory committees and oversight bodies (including the Community Peace Officer Oversight Committee, Advisory Committee on Accessibility, Social Wellbeing Advisory Committee, and related reserve lists). One appointment will remain confidential until security clearance is complete, confidential attachments are retained under privacy rules, and other appointments will be published after appointees are notified and accept.

Council directs Administration to implement recommendations 14–16 immediately, continue work to support incoming council staff and return with a training/onboarding review in Q3 2026, and to report back on other specified recommendations at set future committee meetings (including Q2 2026, Q2 2027 and the March 5, 2025 Council Services Committee meeting). It also merges several recommendations for joint review and instructs that Confidential Attachment 1 remain withheld under FOIP sections 17 and 24.

This amends subsection 2(1)(e)(ii) to replace a calculation that used 80% of the average with one that uses 90% of the median. Practically, it changes how a numeric threshold or benchmark is computed (medians are less affected by outliers and 90% of the median will alter the threshold), which can affect who meets the rule or the amounts set by that part of the bylaw.

Edits Report C2024-1309 to renumber and reword recommendations, adopts recommendations 1–3 and 6 now, and inserts a new Recommendation 2 that sends recommendations 4 and 5 (which concern councillor assistant salary bands) to the Council Services Committee. The Committee is asked to create a work plan and propose next steps for the 2027–2030 budget cycle; no immediate salary changes are made by this motion.

Temporarily suspends the usual agenda flow for the mid-term appointments item and puts in place a specific one-time process: Administration will publicly release councillors' preferences for vacancies, introduce each committee/board, allow brief clarification questions, permit councillors to express interest and speak up to two minutes, and select appointees by acclamation/consensus or confidential ballot followed by motion, debate and vote. The change applies only to Item 9.3.1 and is intended to standardize and make more transparent how Council fills mid-term vacancies.

Authorizes Council to give three readings to Proposed Bylaw 50M2024, which will repeal and replace Bylaw 35M2018. Once passed, the new bylaw's rules and provisions will take effect in place of the previous bylaw as recommended in Report C2024-1252.
