Your planning commission is busy
Alright, Calgary, let's talk about what's cooking down at City Hall, or more specifically, the Calgary Planning Commission. They've been busy, real busy, and not just metaphorically. According to recent council votes from March 12, 2026, the Planning Commission is pushing through some significant land use changes.
They're recommending Council give three readings to motions stemming from reports CPC2026-0209 and CPC2026-0143. Now, these aren't just little tweaks; this is about how our city grows. Commissioners Nathan Hawryluk, Thom Mahler, Charles Boechler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke all voted 'Yes' on these motions, meaning they were carried. For real though, this kind of unified front from the Planning Commission means these recommendations are likely to sail through Council.
It’s about shaping the neighbourhoods we live in, folks. What exactly is in those reports? We'll need to dig deeper into the specifics, but a push for three readings means they’re looking to fast-track these land use decisions. What new developments or zoning changes are coming down the pipeline for your community? Keep an eye on the upcoming Council meetings for the full details.
