Residential zoning in Calgary

Default residential zoning in Calgary is as follows:

R-CG as the citywide base low density residential zone

R-CG (Residential – Grade-Oriented): R-CG is a land use district/zone used in the developed areas. It allows for a variety of housing forms such as single-detached, semi-detached, secondary suites, and rowhouses. This district has contextual rules that take into account the existing styles of developments around the redevelopment site. An R-CG parcel could have a maximum of four units on a typical 50 ft. lot, with the potential for each unit to have a secondary suite. R-CG can be located on corner lots and mid-block lots. 

R-G as the base low density residential zone in developing areas

 R-G (Residential – Low Density Mixed Housing): R-G is a land use district/zone that allows for a variety of housing forms such as single-detached, semi-detached, secondary suites, and rowhouse-style housing. R-G parcels are located in areas of a neighbourhood appropriate for a range of low-density housing forms. This district is used in developing (greenfield) areas. 

H-GO in areas identified in approved Local Area Plans

H-GO (Housing – Grade-Oriented): H-GO is a land use district/zone that allows a range of grade-oriented housing. This district adds the option of higher intensity redevelopment than that of R-CG, but still maintains direct ground level access for all homes.
