The community of Banff Trail is located in the northwest sector of Calgary. Annexed to the City in 1910, Banff Trail is primarily developed as a low density residential community. Banff Trail is within close proximity to the Downtown, L.R.T. and the city's major institutions and recreational facilities such as the University of Calgary, S.A.I.T., Alberta College of Art, Jubilee Auditorium, McMahon Stadium and Confederation Park. The 1989 Banff Trail/Motel Village A.R.P. encourages preservation of the existing character and quality of the area while supporting compatible infill development to ensure the continued rejuvenation of the neighborhood. Motel Village, located to the southwest of the community, is the major commercial node in the area. Compatible uses that would complement the existing tourist-oriented activities in Motel Village are encouraged.
