One of the recommendations included in Calgary's upcoming housing strategy is around changing the base residential zoning district to include more housing types.
“I feel like this is planning policy that is being shoved into something called a solution for housing, which some of us disagree with,” Ward 1 Coun. Sonya Sharp said. “We can’t say blanket rezoning is going to solve the housing issues.”signed by six other councillors that proposed streamlining the current zoning process in the city, with a focus on shortened timelines and incentives for developers that applied to rezone a property along with a development permit request.
However, developers like Alkarim Devani said the current rezoning process doesn’t give developers “predictability of outcome,” which can cause costly delays to housing developments. Devani said the cost of those delays are typically passed down to the renter or buyer when the project is complete.
