It's a lot of info to parse, but what I really should have backed up and made more explicit is my comment was within the context of building a new garage on an existing property that never had one. There's nothing in the bylaw that prevents breezeways; rather, given the constraints of the average existing Calgarian home on an R-C1 ("residential-contextual one dwelling") land use it's not feasible to build one. It's... complicated. I'll elaborate in another reply to another post.

For R-C1 and R-C2—the land uses most homes in Calgary are built in—it's max. 45%. Relaxations aren't common, in my experience.
