the reason is the way city of calgary did the permit process.
calgary made it a 'discretionary' permit which allows for appeals, and really bogs it down with red tape. got denied your application, appeal. got your application approved, somebody else appeals it...etc...
edmonton made it a 'permitted use' permit. meet the requirements, get a permit. no appeals allowed.
