Calgary council votes to repeal 2024 rezoning policy amid growth and affordability debate.
Calgary city council has voted to begin repealing its 2024 blanket rezoning policy, which allowed higher-density housing across most neighborhoods, citing concerns over infrastructure, traffic, and community character.
The move, supported by a new council majority following the 2025 election, starts a formal process that will include a public hearing in spring 2026.
Existing developments will be exempt, and federal officials confirm Housing Accelerator Fund eligibility depends on housing outcomes, not specific zoning tools.
While housing advocates warn the repeal could hinder supply, others argue the policy bypassed local planning and community input.
The decision reflects ongoing debate over balancing growth, affordability, and neighborhood stability.
