"Langford Zoning Bylaw, Amendment No. 483 (3130 Jacklin Road), 2017", and
"Langford Official Community Plan Bylaw, Amendment No. 24 (3130 Jacklin Road), 2017"

The Mayor opened the Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 1692 and 1716 at 5:33 p.m.

Mayor Young advised members of the audience that any person present who believes that his or her interest is affected by the proposed bylaws shall be given an opportunity to be heard on the matters contained in the proposed bylaw. Those who wish to speak concerning this proposed bylaw should give their name, address and views concerning the proposed bylaw. Mayor Young advised that after everyone has expressed their views, he shall state three times "Is there anyone else who wishes to be heard", and if no further views are forthcoming, the Public Hearing shall be declared closed.

The City Planner advised that Danny Jadresko has applied on behalf of Margaret Paton to amend the Official Community Plan designation of the property located at 3130 Jacklin Rd from "Neighbourhood" and "Hillside and Shoreline" to "Mixed Use Employment Centre" and to amend the zoning rezone 3130 Jacklin Road from R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) zone to RM7A (Medium-Density Apartment A) zone.

The applicant is proposing to construct three 5 story apartment buildings, totaling 222 units. This increase in density requires both a zoning amendment and an amendment to Langford's Official Community Plan.

In order to increase the flexibility to develop the site, the applicant has requested a text amendment to the RM7A zone to increase the FAR to 1.15, which is allowed in the zone as long as 50% of the parking for the development is provided underground, the applicant is proposing to accommodate 36% of the parking underground for the subject development.

As well, a variance to the front setback, the distance between the buildings to Jacklin Road, is being requested to reduce the required setback from 7.5 m to 6 m.

A portion of the subject property is within the Riparian Area, and thus subject to the Provincial Riparian Area Regulations. The applicant is proposing to dedicate the portion of the subject property that is within the Riparian Area to the City as park land.

As part of this application, a public hearing is required in accordance with the regulations of the Local Government Act.

In support of these/this application, the applicant has agreed to provide the following:

  1. a) That the owner agrees to provide, as a bonus for increased density, the following contributions per unit, which may be reduced by 75% if rental tenure is secured for a term of no less than 10 years, prior to subdivision approval or building permit issuance whichever is first: i. $152.50 towards the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund;
    $640.50 towards the General Amenity Reserve Fund;

b) That the applicant provides, prior to Public Hearing of the bylaw, the following: i. A Traffic Study to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering;

c) That the applicant registers a road dedication plan, to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering, prior to Bylaw Adoption.

d) That the applicant provides, prior to Bylaw Adoption, a Section 219 covenant, registered in priority of all other charges on title, that agrees to the following: i. That prior to building permit issuance the applicant agrees to implement the recommendations within Geotechnical Report to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering;
ii. That prior to building permit issuance the applicant will implement the recommendations within the Traffic Study to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering;
iii. That prior to building permit issuance, the applicant provides full frontage improvements to the standards of the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 1000, to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering and the Ministry of Transportation;
iv. That any necessary underground or above ground servicing upgrades, extensions or other required servicing requirements be fulfilled at the applicant's expense;
v. That prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant provides a stormwater management plan to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering and that the applicant will incur all costs relating to infrastructure upgrades, including off-site works, required to manage the subject property's drainage concern, as a condition for rezoning the land; and
vi. That prior to the issuance of a building permit the applicant agrees to secure tenure of the apartment units to rental only for a period of no less than 10 years.

  1. Authorize the Director of Planning to issue the following variances through a Development Variance Permit application: a. a variance to Section 4.01.01 to reduce the amount of off street parking required for an apartment building outside the City Centre to a ratio of 1 parking stall per unit; and
    b. a variance to Section 6.36A.03(6) to reduce the amount of required underground parking in order to obtain an FAR of 1.15.
    c. a variance to Section 6.36.06(1) to reduce the required building setback from the front lot line from the required 7.5 m to 6 m.

The City is proposing to amend the City of Langford Official Community Plan from "Neighbourhood" and "Hillside and Shoreline" to "Mixed-Use Employment Centre" designation.

Notifications and advertisements have been placed as required by Council policy.

The Mayor called a first time for presentations.

  • Resident at 3005 Glennan Road addressed Council with many concerns, provided a written submission and concerns include: increased noise, development pressures, increased traffic, loss of sensitive lakefront land, especially on parks.
  • Resident at 1920 Rowils Crescent addressed Council with traffic concerns and wonders how Council will address them. He is concerned about the number of cars for each unit and that it will create parking issues. The parcel is not served by transit. He is concerned about stormwater management and where water will be diverted to. He is concerned that the developer might ask for an additional story and what the process would be for that. He is concerned about a typo on page 4 of the report and about financial considerations, specifically the $500,000 reduction in fees. He is concerned about light pollution from security lights and about potential graffiti. He would like a covenant on park land being donated to prevent future development on the park land.

Mayor Young called a second time for presentations.

"Langford Zoning Bylaw, Amendment No. 481 (1319 & 1323 Ravensview Dr.), 2017"

The Mayor opened the Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 1690 at 6:28 p.m.

Page 1–23

Mayor Young advised members of the audience that any person present who believes that his or her interest is affected by the proposed bylaws shall be given an opportunity to be heard on the matters contained in the proposed bylaw. Those who wish to speak concerning this proposed bylaw should give their name, address and views concerning the proposed bylaw. Mayor Young advised that after everyone has expressed their views, he shall state three times "Is there anyone else who wishes to be heard", and if no further views are forthcoming, the Public Hearing shall be declared closed.

The City Planner advised that Garry Brown has applied on behalf of himself and Rod Le Clare to amend the text in the RR4 (Rural Residential 4) Zone of 1319 & 1323 Ravensview Drive in order to allow for smaller lot sizes to permit the subdivision of 1319 & 1323 Ravensview Dr into three fee simple lots.

The homes on 1319 and 1323 Ravensview Drive are considered detached duplexes, and the lands are common and limited common property. The applicants wish to subdivide the property and create three fee simple or free hold lots in order divide ownership of the lands between themselves.

As the area is not serviced by the municipal sewer system, a text amendment to the RR4 zone is required to permit the subdivision of these properties and create parcels that are less than the required 40 ha or 100 acres. The applicant is proposing to create one lot that is 0.77 ha or 1.94 acres, one that is 0.76 or 1.88 acres and another that is 1.03 or 2.53 acres.

No new development, including secondary suites, will be permitted on these lots until sewer servicing is connected to the subject properties and the necessary municipal approvals are obtained.

As part of this application, a public hearing is required in accordance with the regulations of the Local Government Act.

In support of these/this application, the applicant has agreed to provide the following:

1a) That the applicant provides, prior to Bylaw Adoption, a Section 219 covenant, registered in priority of all other charges on title, that agrees to the following: i. That no construction of building or subdivision or alteration of land may occur on those lands contained on the eastern border of the property, and identified as the common property with 1319 and 1323 Ravensview Drive and as shown in Figure 2 as Lot 3 until all works and services required by Bylaw 1000 have been completed, to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering;
ii. That new and existing houses are required to connect to sanitary sewers when they become available to the site, and that all costs associated with connecting to sewers are the responsibility of the owners;
iii. That secondary suites are not be permitted; and
iv. That there may only be one residential dwelling per lot.

  1. Direct staff to proceed with consideration of the following variances for the proposed 3 lot subdivision of 1319 and 1323 Ravensview Drive subject to the applicant applying for the necessary development variance permit: a) Section 6.1.1 of the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 1000 be varied to allow for the creation of three lots that are not serviced by the municipal sanitary sewer system;
    b) Section 8.15.5 of the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No.1000 be varied to allow for the creation of three lots that require a reduction in fire flow but that do not contain residential fire sprinklers;
    c) Section 8.1.5 of the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 1000 be varied to allow for the creation of three lots that do not comply with the requirements of the BC Building Code in regards to sufficient water pressure; and
    d) That Section 2.1.1 of the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 1000 be varied to allow the creation of three lots without the provision of frontage improvements.

This proposal is consistent with the Official Community Plan Hillside or Shoreline designation.

Notifications and advertisements have been placed as required by Council policy.

The Mayor called a first time for presentations.

  • Resident at 1542 Ravensview Drive addressed Council as he was asked to sign a covenant saying no subdivisions less than 2 acres. How can Council accommodate the change when a covenant is in place?
  • Resident at 1331 Ravensview Drive addressed Council to confirm that 13 lots are not being subdivided now. Three parcels "totally reasonably" supported with clarification.
  • Resident at 1322 Ravensview Drive addressed Council as she is against this development, and in particular, the drafted 13 lot subdivision. She is concerned about errors in reports, as well as the future nature of the development.

  • Resident at 1386 Ravensview Drive addressed Council with excitement about Irwin Road being opened up. He is happy with the City's efficiency and infrastructure Improvements but is concerned with this particular proposal provided substantial history on the properties. He is concerned about lack of reports on environmental considerations and fire hazards. There is no discussion on benefits of change, benefits to Langford, or environmental issues. He is concerned the city is burdened with long term costs that haven't been considered. It lacks contemporary thinking of Avi Friedman. He wishes the applicant be declined and for a broader notification boundary. He is concerned with the lack of documents of original developers that was provided by staff.
  • Gary Brown, 1319 Ravensview Drive (the applicant) wished to hold 3 properties when the development does go through in 10 or 15 years. He provided clarification to a number of the Mayor's questions.
  • Matthew Baldwin (City Planner) provided further clarification to the application.
  • Resident at 1346 Ravensview Drive asked why we are talking about this now if it is not being developed for another 10 to 15 years?
  • Resident at 1318 Ravensview Drive addressed Council with concerns that they will be a buffer to Westhills. She is concerned about new property lines and wonders if it is possible to adjust the property line to increase the buffer.
  • Resident at 1330 Creekside Trail asked for clarification on the subdivision. Resident is okay with 3 lots but in the future has concerns about development of smaller lots.
  • Resident at Billings Drive addressed Council as there is lots of confusion on covenants but shouldn't be. The only way you have power is to go to court or you can jointly work together to get the covenants removed by a judge.
  • Resident asked if staff can research all documents from the original subdivision for disbursement for the residents to have better clarification.

The Mayor called a third and final time for presentation, there being none, the Mayor officially declared the Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 1690 closed at 7:49 p.m.

In addition to these requirements, Council also directed that the applicant provide a stormwater management plan to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering prior to Public Hearing, and undertake neighbourhood consultation through a public meeting prior to Public Hearing.
