Jim Bowden Administrator [Image 3: Newspaper article clipping including local news items and discussion about temporary facilities, police calls, and related court proceedings] While previous arrangements with the municipality have been informal, the Town has informed Our Place it will need a formal temporary use permit to con- tinue at the site. That means going through a public process and securing fresh council approval. "I think we allowed it because clearly the region was dealing with a crisis with tent city," Screech said. "We saw that and recog- nized that and homelessness is a regional issue, so we allowed the temporary use. But now with their request, they're going to be into two full years. That's going a little bit beyond temporary, so we think that they should go through a formal process where the residents get a proper say." Consultation with B.C. Housing for residents will also take place in advance of council's decision, which is slated for late March. While there have been concerns raised by area residents with regards to Choices occupants, Screech said he hasn't fielded too many complaints and that some neighbours have had positive things to say about the facility. McKenzie also feels residents have been supportive. "We really noticed that the neighbourhood has come to rally behind Choices now. I think that says a lot about how Our Place has tried to be a good neighbour and really address the concerns," he said. One of Screech's primary con- cerns is the number of police calls that have originated from Choices. As of Jan. 10, police had been called to the facility 62 times since it opened in February last year. "They've been calling the police to sort of act as referees ... that's a real drain on police resources and we have to be really careful of that," he said. McKenzie said many calls are the result of mental health and addictions problems among resi- dents and that if they weren't hav- ing those conflicts and issues at Choices, they'd be having them on the street. "It's not any threat to the neigh- bourhood. ... One of the reasons a lot of these people are on the streets in the first place is because they've slipped through those health-care cracks," he said. Screech and council must weigh several factors when deciding whether or not to allow the facil- ity to stay open for another year. "I think the impact on the sur- rounding neighbourhood is num- ber one," the mayor said. He also needs assurances that police and emergency personnel are comfort- able with what's happening there, while being mindful of the bigger regional picture of homelessness. Screech has been assured that Choices remains a temporary solution while B.C. Housing works towards establishing more perma- nent facilities around the region. "The long-term future (of that site) will not be a homeless camp," he said. "I don't blame people for being skeptical at this point, because they were told six months it is not the intention nor will the Town support that being a per- manent homeless facility." Further delay for accused in Beckett crash death The lawyer for Kenneth Jacob Fenton said his client won't be entering a plea until an Indepen- dent Investigation Office's report is complete and they have full disclosure. Fenton, facing five charges in relation to the crash that killed West Shore RCMP Const. Sarah Beckett in April, was due to appear in Western Communities Court last Thursday, but has had his arraignment date pushed back to Feb. 9. Beckett's police cruiser was struck April 5 at about 3:30 a.m. while travelling through the intersection at Goldstream Avenue and Peatt Road in Langford. Fenton faces charges including impaired driving causing death, failing to stop while being pursued by a peace officer and operating a motor vehicle in a manner dangerous to the public causing death. It's the fourth time that the arraignment has been delayed. Dale Marshall, Fenton's law- yer, said he appreciates these delays are tough to take for those involved in the case. "I'm sure it's very difficult for everybody involved in this mat- ter. You can imagine how diffi- cult it is to get through the mate- rial. It took six months to inves- tigate. There's a lot of material to get through," he said. "As you can imagine, everybody that's touched by this is struggling." joel.tansey@goldstreamgazette.com joel.tansey@goldstreamgazette.com ### Town of View Royal — Public Hearing Notice Source pages: 23–26 ## Town of View Royal — Public Hearing Notice NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to the Local Government Act that a Public Hearing will be held at Town of View Royal Town Hall, 45 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, B.C. at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 for the purpose of hearing representations concerning the following proposed amendments to Official Community Plan No. 811, 2011 and Zoning Bylaw No. 900, 2014 in regard to lands shown below and legally described as: - Address 1266 Burnside Road West - Legal Description Block 27, Section 9m Esquimalt District, Plan 1407 1.
