Red Deer City Council will meet on April 28, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. to discuss a busy agenda that includes long-term planning, local housing policy, and the city’s financial health. The meeting will take place in Council Chambers at City Hall, located at 4914 48 Avenue.
One of the main items on the agenda is the potential endorsement of the Community Compass: Our Master Plan for Service Delivery, which is a master plan designed to guide city services for the next 12 years. Additionally, Chief Financial Officer Sam Mugford is set to present the 2025 Annual Financial Report, providing an official assessment of the current economic condition of The City of Red Deer.
Council will also consider changes to local housing rules. This includes the first reading of a bylaw that would remove a specific zoning designation known as Direct Control Zone 35 and allow for more house suites in duplexes across the city. This proposal follows a notice of motion brought forward by Councillor Chad Krahn earlier this year.
Two public hearings regarding local land use are also scheduled. The first concerns a rezoning application for a property at 2820 40 Avenue in the Bower Woods neighbourhood, while the second relates to rezoning in the Evergreen neighbourhood.
Residents who wish to participate in the meeting can attend in person at Council Chambers. The meeting will also be available to watch via livestream at meeting.reddeer.ca. Those who prefer to contribute written feedback can email [email protected], and there is an option to request to participate in the meeting by phone. Please note that individuals speaking during the public hearings are limited to five minutes.
