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 included the following opportunities for the High River community to share their thoughts and perspectives on residential development regulations:

• Two public in-person sessions on April 22 & 28, 2026
• Two in-person sessions for builders and developers on April 22 & 28, 2026
• An online survey open April 29 - May 18, 2026

Phase Two Engagement: Fall 2026
In phase two engagement in the fall, the High River community will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the recommended bylaw revisions, developed considering phase one input and feedback.
