Subject:Draft Zoning Bylaw Lunch & Learn Sessions!

As noted in previous communications, the City of Calgary’s City Building team has released the draft Zoning Bylaw. To support industry engagement, Lunch & Learn sessions will be held in February and March, focusing on the challenges members are encountering with the draft bylaw.  These sessions will assess whether the proposed zoning districts align with the building forms, densities, and uses your projects require. Your attendance and feedback are crucial in identifying gaps and refining the bylaw.

To assist your review, the draft Zoning Bylaw can be viewed here.  (Refer to Page “v” to identify session contents.)  Additional information can be found on the City of Calgary webpage here.
