Blanket rezoning opened door to new row houses across Calgary

Calgary's recent blanket rezoning has led to a surge in applications for row houses, particularly in Bowness, Glenbrook, Mount Pleasant, and Capitol Hill, with nearly 190 applications received. This shift aims to address rising housing costs amid a population increase of 76,000 people in the past year. However, concerns about shading, parking, and waste management have sparked appeals from residents. Developers argue that these smaller units are essential for affordability, as single-family homes in the area exceed $1 million.
