“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 height modifier
25 m
across 12 filings publishing an h modifier
Median floor area ratio
4.00
across 12 filings publishing an f 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 MU-2

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 MU-2 land use district in Calgary?
MU-2 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 MU-2 district?
12 development filings recorded on DevelopmentApplications.ca between 2018 and 2026 carry the MU-2 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 MU-2 in Calgary?
The acquired record shows 34 land use redesignations proposing a change into MU-2 and 3 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 A redesignation is an application to Council, not a completed change: some were approved, some refused, some withdrawn, and each filing's own page states which.
What height is applied for on MU-2 sites in Calgary?
Across 12 filings carrying a site-specific height modifier on MU-2, the median value applied for is 24.5 metres. Calgary appends these modifiers to the district code parcel by parcel, so the figure describes what applicants asked for on those specific parcels. It is not a district-wide height limit, and this platform does not publish the rules that apply to the district.
Historical comparisonBounded by what this platform has acquired.

The MU-2 record measured across records acquired from 2018 to 2026. 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.
