Airdrie meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Airdrie agendas: Kingsview Blvd SE land-use changes, new assessment review boards bylaw, recreation centre update

Airdrie's council and standing committees have been scheduled to consider land-use amendments at 2858 Kingsview Blvd SE and in Spring Valley, a new bylaw that would expand the city's Assessment Review Boards, and several policy reports. Agendas for all five meetings listed in the past two weeks were published, but minutes have not, so no decisions, vote tallies or dollar amounts are available for any of them. What follows is what was listed for discussion, not what was decided.

Land use: Kingsview Blvd SE and Spring Valley

The Community Infrastructure and Strategic Growth Standing Committee met Oct. 13 with five land-use items on its agenda. They were Bylaw No. B-30 2026, a proposed amendment to the Spring Valley Neighbourhood Structure Plan; Bylaw B-12/2026, a proposed amendment to Land Use Bylaw No. B-01/2016 for 2858 Kingsview Blvd SE; Bylaw B-13/2026, a proposed amendment to the SE Airdrie Community Area Structure Plan for the same address; Bylaw B-14/2026, a proposed amendment to the King's Heights Neighbourhood Structure Plan for the same address; and a proposed DC-56 Direct Control District for mixed-use development at 2858 Kingsview Blvd SE. The committee was described as considering recommendations on the amendments; the agenda does not state an outcome.

Emergency management bylaw, grants and housing report

The Community Safety and Social Services Standing Committee, also on Oct. 13, was to review a recommendation that Council give three readings to Bylaw No. B-29/2026, amending Emergency Management Bylaw No. B-02/2023. The agenda also listed an overview of the 2027 Airdrie FCSS Community Grants and the Systems Navigators' 2026 Six-Month Findings Report from the Housing & Well-Being Supports Program.

Policing Committee bylaw and RCMP report

The Policing Committee met Oct. 14 to review a recommendation that Council give three readings to Bylaw B-34/2026, amending the Policing Committee Bylaw B-33/2025. The agenda included the RCMP Community Priorities Plan and Q1 2026 Quarterly Report, and a closed session regarding a Police Service Presentation under Section 26 of the Access to Information Act.

Council: Southwest Recreation Centre and Four Homes on a Lot

Two agenda summaries are listed for a Council meeting on Oct. 20. One covers the Southwest Recreation Centre Q3 2026 Project Status Report, covering July to September 2026, and the Four Homes What We Heard Report on public engagement on Four Homes on a Lot.

Council: boards, calendar and bylaws

The second Oct. 20 Council summary lists Bylaw B-28/2026, a new Assessment Review Boards Bylaw that would increase citizen members from four to six; Bylaw B-34/2026, the Policing Committee Bylaw amendment; Bylaw B-33/2026, an amendment to Procedure Bylaw B-10/2024; amendments to the Participation Support for Assessment Review Board Citizen Members Policy; and approval of the 2027 Council Calendar. Appointments to boards and committees were also listed.

Coming up

Two standing committee meetings are scheduled for Oct. 27. The agendas provided for the Community Infrastructure and Strategic Growth Meeting and the Community and Corporate Services Meeting contain no listed discussion items, proposals or decisions, only procedural headers and empty fields. Residents can check the city's published agendas for updates before attending.

Airdrie council set for East Balgray rezoning hearings; policing committee reviews RCMP resource request

Airdrie's recent government meetings covered major land-use and public safety topics, but minutes have not yet been published for any of the sessions. The following summary is based on published agendas only; no decisions can be confirmed until minutes are released.

Council — East Balgray rezoning and recreation centre design (July 7)

Council's July 7 meeting agenda included public hearings on three bylaws related to the East Balgray area:

• **Bylaw B-15/2026** — to amend the City Plan for East Balgray mixed-use.
• **Bylaw B-16/2026** — to adopt the East Balgray Neighbourhood Structure Plan.
• **Bylaw B-17/2026** — to amend the Land Use Bylaw and create DC-57.

The agenda states the plan would redesignate 36 hectares from commercial to mixed use. A neighbourhood structure plan guides how a new area develops — including roads, parks, housing, and commercial space — before subdivision and building permits are issued.

The agenda also listed two other items: endorsement of the schematic design and cost reduction options for the Southwest Recreation Centre, and presentation of the 2026 municipal census results.

Because minutes are not yet published, it is not confirmed whether council voted on any of these items or whether the public hearings concluded.

Policing Committee — RCMP resource request for 2027–2030 (July 8)

The Airdrie Policing Committee agenda for July 8 included several items:

• **RCMP Resource Request for 2027–2030** — presented to the committee.
• **Q3 and Q4 municipal crime statistics update.**
• **Community Safety and Well-Being Plan** — progress update.
• **2025/2026 Policing Committee Annual Report** — listed for review and approval.
• A **closed session** on intergovernmental relations.

The RCMP Resource Request typically outlines how many officers and support staff the detachment seeks for the upcoming multi-year period. No vote tallies or dollar figures are available from the agenda.

Standing committee meetings — no substantive items (July 14)

Two standing committee meetings were scheduled for July 14:

• **Standing Committee on Community Safety and Social Services**
• **Standing Committee on Community Infrastructure and Strategic Growth**

Both agendas contained only procedural boilerplate with no specific items, decisions, or discussions listed.

Coming up

• **July 30 — Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB), Appeal 1:** The board is scheduled to hear Appeal Number 1. No specific details about the appeal are provided in the agenda; it may involve a land-use or development decision. The agenda contains only procedural boilerplate.

Residents seeking confirmed outcomes from the July 7 council meeting and July 8 policing committee meeting should watch for published minutes on the City of Airdrie's website.

Airdrie council to weigh East Balgray plan, Southwest Rec Centre costs this week

Airdrie council will hold public hearings Tuesday on a new neighbourhood plan and rezoning for East Balgray, while the policing committee meets Wednesday to review RCMP resource requests for 2027-2030. The meetings, scheduled for July 7 and 8, follow a pair of committee sessions last month that produced no decisions published as of today.

East Balgray neighbourhood plan heads to council

Council will consider three bylaws related to the East Balgray area at its July 7 regular meeting. A public hearing is scheduled for Bylaw B-15/2026, which would amend the City Plan to allow mixed-use development on the site. Council will also hear public comment on Bylaw B-16/2026, which would adopt the East Balgray Neighbourhood Structure Plan, and Bylaw B-17/2026, which would amend the Land Use Bylaw to rezone approximately 36.09 hectares from Urban Holdings to Direct Control District (DC-57).

The items were first reviewed June 23 by the Standing Committee on Community Infrastructure and Strategic Growth. That committee’s agenda included a development permit for a multi-unit commercial and industrial project at 524 Gateway Road NE and a funding proposal from Drive Happiness, but minutes from that meeting have not yet been published.

Southwest Recreation Centre design, census results also on tap

Council will also receive and discuss the 2026 municipal census results and weigh endorsement of the Southwest Recreation Centre’s schematic design, including cost reduction options. No dollar figures or specific recommendations were listed in the agenda.

Policing committee to consider RCMP resources

The Airdrie Policing Committee meets July 8 to hear the RCMP Resource Request for 2027-2030, along with third- and fourth-quarter municipal crime statistics. The committee will also receive a progress update on the Community Safety and Well-Being Plan and consider approving its 2025/2026 annual report. A closed-session discussion on intergovernmental relations is also scheduled.

Recent committee meetings were largely procedural

Of the two committee meetings held June 23, one – the Standing Committee on Community and Corporate Services – had no substantive agenda items and was listed as procedural only. Minutes from that meeting are also unpublished.

Coming up

July 7 – Council Meeting (public hearing on East Balgray bylaws, Southwest Recreation Centre design, 2026 census results). 6:00 p.m. at City Hall.

July 8 – Policing Committee Meeting (RCMP resource request, crime statistics, annual report). Time and location to be confirmed on the city’s agenda page.
