Ltd. to amend the Official Community Plan designation of the commonly referred 'Centre Mountain Properties' to Business or Light Industrial and Hillside or Shoreline and to amend the zoning of the commonly referred 'Centre Mountain Properties' to the BP8 (Business Park 8), RR4 (Rural Residential 4) and CH5 (Cluster Housing 5)Zones. This is being proposed to permit the rezoning of these lands for Business Park and residential uses and to bring lands formerly within the District of Metchosin under City of Langford zoning. As part of this application, a public hearing is required in accordance with the regulations of the Local Government Act. The City is also proposing to amend the City of Langford Official Community Plan to include those lands recently added to the City of Langford from the District of Metchosin and to update various maps within the OCP accordingly.

A citizen residing on Summer Breeze Lane addressed Council requesting a buffer between his property and the new area, and asked for a road access to be through the industrial park instead of off of Happy Valley Road.
