The City of Calgary is requesting your feedback on the new Land Use Bylaw Wording for sport ramps. See below!

Subject: Sports Ramps on Private Residential Properties

In June 2015, City Council directed staff through a sport ramp notice of motion to talk to Calgarians about their opinions on skateboard/sports ramps on private residential properties.  Project outreach and communications have been promoted to the public through a number of media sources, newsletters and face-to-face opportunities.  We now have engagement summaries and information updates available at calgary.ca/sportsramps.  We’ve also added  independent representative telephone survey results completed by Harris Decima.  This survey reached a representative demographic of all Calgarians and has a ±4.4 percent margin of error at a 95 percent confidence level.  An executive summary is available in the report and you can also refer to a high level summary of this representative telephone survey.

On June 1, 2016, skateboard/sports ramps were discussed and recommendations were approved at the Standing Policy Committee meeting on Community and Protective Services.  From here, Council will consider the proposed amendments to the Community Standards Bylaw (noise) in Attachment 1 of the report and the proposed Land Use Bylaw regulations as set out in Attachment 2.  Once directed by Council, Land Use Bylaw amendments will be presented to the Calgary Planning Commission on September 22 and then tentatively to City Council for a public hearing on November 7.  The report and attachments are located above.
