What Alberta's new zoning changes mean for Edmonton

The Alberta government is requiring Edmonton to reverse some 2024 zoning changes, including housing types, density, building heights, and parking rules, restoring pre-2024 regulations and minimum on-site parking standards from before 2020. This aims to address concerns about high-density infill, ensuring development is appropriately scaled and supported by infrastructure. Edmonton has three months to amend its bylaw and 18 months for a broader review. Calgary will keep its current zoning approach.
