Opponents to blanket rezoning in the city of Calgary are inviting members of the public to learn more about the next steps in the fight against the controversial plan.
Residents are being told to meet at the Calgary Court Centre at 10 a.m. on Monday to hear a request for a stay of proceedings.
If approved, it could pause all future development applications until the court case has been decided.
It's the latest attempt by residents to protect their properties from sweeping changes approved by Calgary city council in May.
The land-use amendment means the city will transition properties currently zoned as R-C1 districts, which only allow single-detached homes on them, to R-CG to also allow for townhomes and duplexes.
Blanket rezoning still permits single-detached homes to be built but skips the process that required each land-use application to be debated individually.
Last month, residents in the southeast community of Lake Bonavista announced a campaign to push homeowners to add "restrictive convenants" to their land titles in an attempt to make it less desirable for developers to make changes.
