Earlier this year, Council approved a comprehensive review of all residential development regulations within the Traditional Neighbourhood District in the Town of High River’s Land Use Bylaw. Council also approved a plan to gather input from the community and key interested parties as part of the review.

The goals of this review are to improve clarity, align with the Town Plan to preserve the small-town character and support diverse housing options and urban design. The key aspects that people can share their perspectives on include:

• Density 

• Building design, height and placement 

• Parking and access  

• Landscaping and amenity spaces 

Phase one engagement will include the following opportunities for the High River community to share their thoughts and perspectives on residential development regulations:
