A bylaw to rezone most of Calgary's residential areas and allow higher-density housing was passed by city council in a 9-6 vote Tuesday night, along with numerous amendments to the original proposal. The vote comes after the longest ever meeting of city council, which began on April 22, and was focused on the proposal to rezone all of Calgary's residential areas that only allow for single-family homes. Over three weeks, it included multiple 12-hour days, 736 speakers and 238 panels — which marked the city's largest-ever public hearing.
