Home-owner ponders authorized ramifications
Right here’s one other approach to have a look at the rezoning debacle. It’s a breach of contract.
After I purchased my home, it was underneath the settlement that this was an R-1 property. I’ve stored up my aspect of the contract by paying my property taxes yearly with the understanding that is an R-1 property. If the town now needs to alter their aspect of the contract by making my property open to a four-home improvement then, accordingly, I’ll change my aspect by paying one-quarter of the property taxes.
The town is welcome to assemble the remaining three-quarters owed from the nebulous “others” they created by rezoning.
Or maybe Calgary property homeowners ought to take into account a class-action lawsuit?

Mayor is misinformed on blanket rezoning
Mayor Jyoti Gondek appears to assume the general public is misinformed about blanket rezoning and that the general public listening to on April 22 will clear the entire thing up. I’d counsel that she and different metropolis councillors who assist this proposal are those who’re misinformed.
By expediting the rezoning course of so builders can construct four-unit row homes with secondary suites in established communities, they’ve abdicated their duty for improvement in Calgary and brought away the flexibility for owners to have any enter into what’s developed beside them.
Primarily, the builders will dictate what’s constructed inside our communities and owners can have little or no say within the matter.
I perceive {that a} developer wouldn’t be allowed to construct a multi-storey condo beside me, nonetheless, a smaller eight-unit complicated with insufficient off-street parking continues to be unacceptable.
