The crazy thing with that is I think most 'pro-housing' voted in favour of the RCG redesign thinking that they were somehow helping, when in reality they are essentially creating an un-buildable form.

Reverting blanket rezoning is not the real issue at hand. Council is also trying to slash RCG typology from 4+4 to 3+0 based on density calculation (75 UPH v 60 UPH) and interpretation of Unit (vs suites)

This will effectively eliminate new family-sized rental housing in Calgary's established communities.

The moment you need to increase your living situation from 2-bed to 3-bed, you're forced to the suburbs.... unless you have $1m for a new infill.

Was this in the Dec. 15 meeting? I saw the 75 to 60 change, but I didn't catch the interpretation of units/suites? I presume this is the motion:

Assuming this was the motion arising above that was edited on the fly, I believe Chabot suggested that it was just a starting point to be further refined at the public hearing in March. Which doesn't make sense to me as this sounds pretty darn prescriptive and would mean they'd be editing it on the fly again in March.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it certainly doesn't seem like the thoughtful process to replace blanket rezoning with something better and more strategic like they promised.
