M-1

What Calgary’s development record shows about filings carrying the M-1 district. This page does not state what M-1 permits — that is the Land Use Bylaw, which this platform has not ingested.

“Approved” counts applications the City recorded as approved. An approved redesignation changes what may lawfully be built; it is not a permit and not construction.

Site-specific modifiers seen on these filings

Our analysisCalgary writes these per parcel, so these are medians of what has been applied for — not limits the district sets.
Median density modifier
75 u/ha
across 5 filings publishing a d modifier

Calgary publishes these as concatenated tokens — f2.0h14 is a floor area ratio of 2.0 and a 14 m height limit — with no legend. Reading f, h and d as floor area ratio, height in metres and units per hectare follows Bylaw 1P2007 and is held at 0.85 confidence because no planner has confirmed it. A median needs at least three values; where fewer exist, nothing is shown.

Common questions about M-1

Answered from the filings recorded here. This platform has not ingested the Land Use Bylaw and never states what a district permits.

What is the M-1 land use district in Calgary?
M-1 is a Calgary land use district code — multi-residential and mixed use — that appears on the municipal development record. What may lawfully be built on land carrying this code is set by Calgary's Land Use Bylaw 1P2007, which this platform does not reproduce; the pages here describe only the filings that carry the code.
How many development applications carry the M-1 district?
16 development filings recorded on DevelopmentApplications.ca between 2009 and 2024 carry the M-1 district as published by the City of Calgary. This counts filings in this platform's in-scope corpus, which excludes single homes, secondary suites, signs and routine relaxations — so it is smaller than a raw count of the City's own dataset.
Is land being rezoned into or out of M-1 in Calgary?
The acquired record shows 10 land use redesignations proposing a change into M-1 and 2 redesignations proposing a change out of it. A redesignation is an application to Council, not a completed change: some were approved, some refused, some withdrawn, and each filing's own page states which.
Historical comparisonBounded by what this platform has acquired.

The M-1 record measured across records acquired from 2009 to 2024. This is not a statement about all development in Calgary — only about what these sources publish and what this platform retained. Redesignation counts cover the whole acquired corpus; filing counts and modifier medians cover the browsable slice only. They measure different populations. Calgary land use redesignation applications from 1982 and development permits from 1979.
