Caution | Mandatory Outdoor Water Restrictions

Due to continued dry conditions, mandatory Stage 1 Outdoor Water Restrictions are in place until further notice.

Visit Calgary.ca/restrictions for more information.

There is a specific, unique set of uses and rules for each of Calgary's Direct Control (DC) Districts. Each DC has its own bylaw number (or, prior to 1980, a resolution number) identifying applicable uses and rules for each district.

For example, DC 16Z1997 is the 16th Direct Control created in 1997. To find it, click ‘1990s Direct Control Districts’, click ‘1997 Direct Control Districts’, and then search for the document titled 16Z1997. The .pdf file includes district-specific details and may reference either the current Land Use Bylaw 1pP2007, or historical land use bylaws, such as Land Use Bylaw 2p80.

For historical land use bylaws, contact the City Clerk's Office for the version from the specific year that direct co​ntrol was approved (e.g. 1997).

Web copies are not legal documents and cannot be used as an official interpretation of the various codes and regulations.

Rocky View Direct Controls

Rocky View planning bylaws are in effect after lands are annexed to The City of Calgary. Most of the annexed properties have been re-designated to City of Calgary land use districts, but there may be situations where reference to the original Rocky View County Direct Control bylaw are required.

Please note, if you are looking for Rocky View County’s Direct Control Bylaws, please visit their Direct Control Bylaws page.
