Redesignated out of S-CS

No application in the record proposes changing S-CS land to something else.

“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.

Common questions about S-CS

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 S-CS land use district in Calgary?
S-CS is a Calgary land use district code — special purpose — 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 S-CS district?
11 development filings recorded on DevelopmentApplications.ca between 2009 and 2023 carry the S-CS 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 S-CS in Calgary?
The acquired record shows 4 land use redesignations proposing a change into S-CS, and no redesignation away from 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 A redesignation is an application to Council, not a completed change: some were approved, some refused, some withdrawn, and each filing's own page states which.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 S-CS record measured across records acquired from 2009 to 2023. 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.
