City council looks at creating more medium-density residential zoning

Mar 20, 2023 | 3:34 PM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – Council will be hearing the first readings on land-use bylaws that are looking to rezone commercial areas to medium density residential areas.

The bylaws propose the South Urban Village and an area off Balmoral Street SE should be rezoned into medium-density residential areas.

Also tonight, council will hear a presentation from the city’s managing director on local gas wells.

The presentation will highlight the historic development of gas wells in Medicine Hat and address present and future well projects.

The Community Foundation of Southeastern Alberta will also make a public presentation to council at tonight’s regular meeting.

The grassroots foundation was established to provide donors a way to create, or give to, a scholarship or grant by investing their money into an endowment fund.

Income from the interest earned by the endowment fund then goes back into the community in areas like education, recreation, health and wellness and the environment.
