City Council has approved changes to roll back citywide residential rezoning and return most neighbourhoods to their previous zoning rules. This means a more site‑specific approach to development, with clearer expectations and local context continuing to matter.

Current rules remain in place through the transition period, and projects already approved or underway can continue. The changes officially take effect in August 2026, giving time for a smooth and orderly update.

This decision reflects ongoing conversations about growth, housing, and how Calgary neighbourhoods evolve over time.
