Your Planning Commission just gave the green light
Alright, folks, Cassidy Redcloud here, coming at you live from the MiTL Sports Desk, Calgary bureau. You know, sometimes it feels like City Hall is just capping conversations, but today we actually got some movement on the planning front.
For real though, the Calgary Planning Commission has been busy this week, pushing through several key recommendations to Council on March 12, 2026. Specifically, three separate motions related to reports CPC2026-0209 and CPC2026-0143 were all carried. We saw unanimous support from members like Nathan Hawryluk, Thom Mahler, Charles Boechler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke. These approvals mean that these land use and development proposals are now moving to Council for three readings.
What does that mean for you? Well, these aren't just dry well votes; they're the groundwork for future development across the city. Think about places like Queens Park Village, which, according to recent property assessment highlights, has five properties averaging a whopping $16,098,000. Or Red Carpet/Mountview Mobile Park, where five properties average $14,474,000. These planning decisions impact where and how Calgary grows, from new housing to commercial spaces, and ultimately, your property values and your neighbourhood's feel.
* On March 12, 2026, the Calgary Planning Commission approved motions for reports CPC2026-0209 and CPC2026-0143. * Commission members Nathan Hawryluk, Thom Mahler, Charles Boechler, Katherine Wagner, and Chris Hardwicke all voted 'Yes'. * These recommendations now head to City Council for three readings. * Areas like Queens Park Village and Red Carpet/Mountview Mobile Park show high average assessed values, highlighting ongoing development interest.
This is Calgary — we've seen the boom, we've seen the bust, and we showed up anyway. We'll be watching closely to see how Council handles these recommendations and what new projects start breaking ground.
