CITY CENTRE

 A major regional growth and employment centre that supports a wide
range of high-density housing, including affordable and rental housing, in
conjunction with commercial, office, institutional and light industrial uses;
 A place with the highest degree of inter-city connection through a regional
transportation network and transportation hubs;
 A place where a wide range of public squares, parks, and open spaces are
integrated throughout;
 A place of community gathering and celebration where civic uses and public
buildings are key landmarks; and
 A place of interactive and animated streetscapes where public art and
public space are employed to celebrate local cultural and natural history.
A Concept for the City Centre
Langford’s City Centre is intended to be an area of high-density development
that is both vibrant and walkable, with multi-modal connectivity to other
similar hubs in the Capital Region.
The City Centre will focus on mixed-use development, with the highest
concentration being adjacent to major arterial routes such as Goldstream
Avenue, Veterans Memorial Parkway, Peatt Road and Jacklin Road. This is
meant to solidify the Goldstream corridor as the heart of the City Centre.

Langford’s Official Community Plan (OCP), as a Development Permit Area pursuant to the provisions of
Section 488(1)(d), (e), and (f) of the Local Government Act. The City Centre plays a special role in both the
residents’ and visitors’ impression of the City, therefore high quality planning, design and execution is
essential for the City Centre. These Design Guidelines provide a comprehensive framework that
incorporates design flexibility to create a unique and identifiable character while ensuring design diversity
amongst developments within the City Centre. This appendix provides guidance and direction for the
design and planning of buildings, site layouts and onsite landscaping. When the guidelines in this appendix
conflict with statements in the Zoning Bylaw 300 for the City Centre, these guidelines will take precedent.
OBJECTIVE
The Official Community Plan outlines objectives and policies for both the public and private realms, the
overarching objective of this set of guidelines is to provide guidance for private developments to
contribute to the City’s vision.
In particular, these Design Guidelines address the following OCP objectives:
•
Ensure development in and around centres supports a nodal pattern of development;
•
Encourage the growth of business activities in all parts of the community as a mixed-use urban
design objective;
•
Create livable streets through scale, form, building orientation and character elements;
•
Ensure accessibility is considered for planning and design of buildings, the public realm and
public parks;
•
Promote a greater sense of place that celebrates our community’s unique setting and people;
•
Preserve and increase the stock of safe and affordable housing;
•
Support residents in moving through the stages of the housing continuum and facilitating the
delivery of a range of housing types along the continuum;
•
Pursue ‘aging in place’ and accessibility strategies for housing;
•
Set targets for family and ground-oriented housing in high-density development projects;
•
Develop more connected and integrated City Centre road networks;
•
Encourage energy efficiency and green building development for new buildings; and
•
Ensure flexibility and ability to adapt to future changes.
Applicants should provide a statement indicating how their proposal complies with the following
guidelines. Where some element of the design does not comply with a guideline, a justification stating the
divergence and the reasoning should be made. Council may diverge from the guidelines where a convincing
or persuasive rationale that preserves the intent of the guidelines is supplied.

Deneen Perry’s stolen Mustang was found in
the staff parking lot of the Suburban Motors
in Saanich on Friday morning.
Perry’s black Mustang GT Premium Edi-
tion was stolen from her driveway sometime
between 5 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday
morning. It was spotted by staff at Suburban
Motors on Friday. They spoke to the driver
and he claimed to be Perry’s boyfriend and
noted that he had keys to the car.
Suburban Motors staff blocked the car from
leaving the lot and called police. The suspect
was gone when police arrived.
Perry said there were no seats in the car
and several items from her home were strewn
about inside.
She doesn’t believe the break-in was random.
On Thursday evening, Perry noticed that some
of her other items were missing including a
ring from her grandmother and the spare
keys to her car.
Perry worries that someone was watching her
because she’s a single woman with a “souped
up car” who just moved in.
“I don’t feel safe in my own house and I just
bought it,” she said.
She also wonders if the thief was someone
from the company that came to repair her
floors after her washing machine flooded
recently.
Const. Christine Walsh said Westshore
RCMP have the car and are continuing their
investigation. She noted that the suspect is
not in police custody.
Perry is concerned because the thief is still
at large with her keys.
She pointed out that cars had been bro-
ken into a few blocks away in June, but her
neighbour– who has lived on the street for 40
years– told her that nothing like this has ever
happened in the area.
A new affordable housing develop-
ment that would be the tallest mass
timber building on Vancouver Island
might be coming to the Colwood
Corners area.
The Greater Victoria Housing
Society has submitted a rezoning
application to the City of Colwood
for a building planned to be up to 15
stories. The application for for the
land at 85 Belmont Road and 1901
Jerome Rd. adjacent to the London
Drugs building.
The project would have over 100
units with a range aimed at housing
low to moderate income seniors and
families.
Kaye Melliship, executive direc-
tor of the Greater Victoria Housing
Society, said they are hoping it will
be “an environmentally sustainable
building that will be a zero carbon
dioxide emission building.” They are
also hoping to lower utility bills for
tenants.
Prefabricated mass timber panels
will be used to build the tower. Ac-
cording to Sukh Johal of the Cana-
dian Wood Council, the mass timber
product replaces concrete and con-
ventional wood construction.
“The base material is sourced from
sustainable managed B.C. forests and
is factory fabricated and can there-
fore be installed quicker and quieter
compared to conventional framing
practices,” Johal said.
The development site will also
include a 180-stall outdoor bicycle
pavillion and a surface parking lot
for the tenants. Plans for a second
building of similar size would also
be possible in the future.
“Ultimately, the decision to design
a mass timber tower stemmed from
costing, land use and environmental
implications,” Melliship said. “The
building will be designed to the high-
est level of the BC Energy Step Code
… and will provide much needed af-
fordable rental housing for seniors
and families in the City of Colwood.”

Staff Report
to
Council

Date:

May 21, 2019
Department:

Planning
Subject:
 Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1828 Updates and Zoning Bylaw Design
Guidelines Appendices updates


Background
The City of Langford’s Planning and Subdivision Department has been working with Dr. Avi Friedman
Consultant Inc. to prepare an updated Appendix J to the Zoning Bylaw 300 which currently contains the
Downtown Langford Design Guidelines. This work has included studies of Langford as a whole, the recently
expanded City Centre and stakeholder engagement sessions to gather and distribute information. As a
result, Dr. Friedman’s team had put together a number of proposed updates for the Zoning Bylaw 300
“Appendix J”. The planning department has incorporated the proposed updates with the existing
appendix as well as the visions and objectives set out in the Official Community Plan (OCP) to create a
blended, comprehensive document, now titled “Appendix J: General Guidelines for Langford City Centre”.

As a result, Appendix V “Langford City Centre” will require a title change to “Belmont Market and
Residences” which better represents the area the guidelines are regarding, and minimizes confusion
between itself and the new Appendix J. As previously mentioned, the proposed Appendix J guidelines will
be titled “General Guidelines for Langford City Centre”.

Proposed Changes
The proposed Appendix J (attached to Bylaw 1829) contains a variety of updates to the Zoning Bylaw 300
appendices and requires updates be made to the OCP.

Zoning Appendices Bylaw 1201 (Bylaw 1829)
Updates will be required in various appendices because of the proposed Appendix J to create continuity
amongst documents.
-
Updating the term “Downtown Langford” and “Downtown Pedestrian Commercial Development
Permit Area” to “Langford City Centre” and “City Centre Development Permit Area” throughout
the Zoning Bylaw Appendices;

Zoning Bylaw Appendix J and OCP Update
Page 2 of 3


-
Development Permit area expansion from the Downtown Pedestrian Commercial Area to the
entire City Centre area as defined in the OCP;
-
An addition to Appendix A section 1.4.1 Development Permit, regarding exemptions for single and
multi-family dwellings due to the inclusion of additional single and multi-family dwellings to the
City Centre development area;
-
Updated neighbourhood division, including background and development considerations within
the City Centre Area; and
-
Includes formatting, section re-ordering, reference updates, elaborated general objective section,
and guidelines directed solely at private development. Examples include:
o “Parking lots and structures are expected to incorporate wiring for Electric Vehicle
charging stations.”
o “Development is encouraged to incorporate multiple lots (consolidation of two or more
lots) as to increase green space potential.”

Official Community Plan Bylaw 1200 Update – (Bylaw 1828)
The updates occurring to the OCP are as listed in the attached bylaw. Due to Appendix J, a number of
updates should be made to the OCP for continuity and clarity.
-
The City Centre section has undergone visual and contextual updates to reinforce Appendix J.
-
Map 21 of the OCP will now reflect the entire City Centre as illustrated in Map 2 of the OCP, thus
adding to the development permit area previously identified in the core of Langford’s City Centre.
-
Additional objectives and policies in the City Centre section provide background for the updates
to the Design Guidelines with regards to green and open space as well as long term development.
-
Various text amendments throughout section 14.0 Development Permit Areas of the OCP to
update the Local Government Act section number references, the alteration, and the addition of
paragraphs referring to Map 21.
These updates create consistency throughout all documents affected by Appendix J.

Financial Implications
There are no negative financial implications foreseen for the City of Langford. In contrast, there is an
anticipated increase in development and an increased tax base from additional residential units.

Legal Implications
No legal implications, the City of Langford is permitted to make these changes under the Local
Government Act.

Options
That Council:

Option 1
Give 1st Reading to Bylaw Nos. 1828 and 1829 as presented;

Or

Option 2
Take no action at this time with respect to Bylaw Nos. 1828 and 1829.

Appendix J: General Design Guidelines for Langford City
Centre

JUSTIFICATION
The City of Langford has designated all of the City Centre, as shown shaded in Map 21 of Bylaw No. 1200
Langford’s Official Community Plan (OCP), as a Development Permit Area pursuant to the provisions of
Section 488(1)(d), (e), and (f) of the Local Government Act. The City Centre plays a special role in both the
residents’ and visitors’ impression of the City, therefore high quality planning, design and execution is
essential for the City Centre. These Design Guidelines provide a comprehensive framework that
incorporates design flexibility to create a unique and identifiable character while ensuring design diversity
amongst developments within the City Centre. This appendix provides guidance and direction for the
design and planning of buildings, site layouts and onsite landscaping. When the guidelines in this appendix
conflict with statements in the Zoning Bylaw 300 for the City Centre, these guidelines will take precedent.
OBJECTIVE
The Official Community Plan outlines objectives and policies for both the public and private realms, the
overarching objective of this set of guidelines is to provide guidance for private developments to
contribute to the City’s vision.
In particular, these Design Guidelines address the following OCP objectives:

Ensure development in and around centres supports a nodal pattern of development;

Encourage the growth of business activities in all parts of the community as a mixed-use urban
design objective;

Create livable streets through scale, form, building orientation and character elements;

Ensure accessibility is considered for planning and design of buildings, the public realm and
public parks;

Promote a greater sense of place that celebrates our community’s unique setting and people;

Preserve and increase the stock of safe and affordable housing;

Support residents in moving through the stages of the housing continuum and facilitating the
delivery of a range of housing types along the continuum;

Pursue ‘aging in place’ and accessibility strategies for housing;

Set targets for family and ground-oriented housing in high-density development projects;

Develop more connected and integrated City Centre road networks;

Encourage energy efficiency and green building development for new buildings; and

Ensure flexibility and ability to adapt to future changes.
Applicants should provide a statement indicating how their proposal complies with the following
guidelines. Where some element of the design does not comply with a guideline, a justification stating the
divergence and the reasoning should be made. Council may diverge from the guidelines where a convincing
or persuasive rationale that preserves the intent of the guidelines is supplied.

N1 Matson
The Matson neighbourhood is comprised of low-
rise residential buildings as well as a variety of
commercial buildings along Goldstream Ave. The
school on the east side offers a large green space.
This neighbourhood is a suitable location for future
medium to high-density residential development
due to the proximately to school and commercial
spaces of the City Centre.
Development within the Matson area shall
incorporate mixed-use development along
Goldstream Ave. as well as medium-density
residential development towards to north end.
A development emphasis should promote a family
oriented neighbourhood, with additional green

The Strathmore neighbourhood is located
towards the middle of the City Centre. The
borders consist of main connector roads going
north/south and east/west.
This neighbourhood is a very suitable location for
medium and high-density residential
development due to the variety of existing
building types.
Development along Peatt Rd. and Goldstream
Ave., including the southern end of Jacklin Rd.
shall contain commercial and heavily pedestrian
oriented ground floors.
A development emphasis should be on creating
an animated street level for the public.

S1 Centennial Park
Surrounding a large green space, the Centennial
Park neighbourhood boasts late century single
family dwellings located on cul-de-sac roads.
This neighbourhood is very suitable for mixed-use
development, shared streets and enlarged
walkways as well as high-density apartment
buildings near Goldstream Ave.
Other opportunities for development in this
neighbourhood include townhouses and medium-
density apartments to replace the single-family
dwellings on cul-de-sacs and shared streets.
Emphasis within the Centennial Park
neighbourhood shall be placed on a family focus
and being able to move through the housing
continuum by addressing various housing types.


S2 City Hall
The City Hall neighbourhood has a wide variety of
uses from light industrial to mixed-use and
residential
This neighbourhood, due to the variety of uses
and central location in the City Centre, serves as a
representation for the remainder of the City.
Development within this neighbourhood shall
include medium and high-density residential as
well as mixed-use buildings along Goldstream
Ave. Buildings not used for residential purposes,
shall incorporate and blend design to maximize
consistency.

S3 Fountain
The Fountain neighbourhood is the smallest and
most central within the City Centre. This
neighbourhood is comprised of commercial
amenities as well as some residential space.
This neighbourhood is very suitable for further
commercial development as well as incorporating
high-density mixed-use buildings.
Due to the size and location of the Fountain
neighbourhood, development should emphasize a
pedestrian orientation through alternative parking
solutions and the incorporation of commercial and
mixed-use buildings. Also emphasized is the
inclusion of plazas and public space within this
neighbourhood.


S4 South Centre
The South Centre neighbourhood hosts big box
stores in the southern section and a mixture of
residential densities to northeast.
Development shall blend the big box commercial
into the residential through the incorporation of
architectural features as described in the design
guidelines.
Medium-density development should be situated
above multi-level retail and commercial space
while shifting to high-density residential towards
the convergence of Station Ave. and Veterans
Memorial Parkway.
A development emphasis should promote
permeable ground surface material and the
incorporation of green and open spaces.

S5 Veterans Park
Veterans Park is a small neighbourhood that
borders Colwood to the south and Goldstream
Ave. to the north. Largely occupied by residential
lots, this neighbourhood should boast medium to
high-density residential development.
Due to the small geographic size of this
neighbourhood, the goal of Veterans Park is to
create an extremely walkable and pedestrian
oriented environment.
A development emphasis should incorporate new
and existing green space and shared streets to
maximize public space.


S6 Goldstream East
The Goldstream East neighbourhood is located on
the easternmost boundary of the City Centre and
is comprised of predominantly low-rise single-
family dwellings. There are commercial and
institutional facilities located along the western
portion of Goldstream Ave.
Development shall focus on medium and high-
density residential buildings located towards the
Goldstream Ave. and Veterans Memorial Pkwy.
Intersection.
A development emphasis should incorporate
pedestrian access between cul-de-sac roads in the
east as well as creating a family orientation near
the school with green and open space.

CITY CENTRE

 A major regional growth and employment centre that supports a wide
range of high-density housing, including affordable and rental housing, in
conjunction with commercial, office, institutional and light industrial uses;
 A place with the highest degree of inter-city connection through a regional
transportation network and transportation hubs;
 A place where a wide range of public squares, parks, and open spaces are
integrated throughout;
 A place of community gathering and celebration where civic uses and public
buildings are key landmarks; and
 A place of interactive and animated streetscapes where public art and
public space are employed to celebrate local cultural and natural history.
A Concept for the City Centre
Langford’s City Centre is intended to be an area of high-density development
that is both vibrant and walkable, with multi-modal connectivity to other
similar hubs in the Capital Region.
The City Centre will focus on mixed-use development, with the highest
concentration being adjacent to major arterial routes such as Goldstream
Avenue, Veterans Memorial Parkway, Peatt Road and Jacklin Road. This is
meant to solidify the Goldstream corridor as the heart of the City Centre.

Staff Report

Council

Date:

May 21, 2019
Department:

Planning
Subject:
 Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1828 Updates and Zoning Bylaw Design
Guidelines Appendices updates


Background
The City of Langford’s Planning and Subdivision Department has been working with Dr. Avi Friedman
Consultant Inc. to prepare an updated Appendix J to the Zoning Bylaw 300 which currently contains the
Downtown Langford Design Guidelines. This work has included studies of Langford as a whole, the recently
expanded City Centre and stakeholder engagement sessions to gather and distribute information. As a
result, Dr. Friedman’s team had put together a number of proposed updates for the Zoning Bylaw 300
“Appendix J”. The planning department has incorporated the proposed updates with the existing
appendix as well as the visions and objectives set out in the Official Community Plan (OCP) to create a
blended, comprehensive document, now titled “Appendix J: General Guidelines for Langford City Centre”.

As a result, Appendix V “Langford City Centre” will require a title change to “Belmont Market and
Residences” which better represents the area the guidelines are regarding, and minimizes confusion
between itself and the new Appendix J. As previously mentioned, the proposed Appendix J guidelines will
be titled “General Guidelines for Langford City Centre”.

Proposed Changes
The proposed Appendix J (attached to Bylaw 1829) contains a variety of updates to the Zoning Bylaw 300
appendices and requires updates be made to the OCP.

Zoning Appendices Bylaw 1201 (Bylaw 1829)
Updates will be required in various appendices because of the proposed Appendix J to create continuity
amongst documents.
-
Updating the term “Downtown Langford” and “Downtown Pedestrian Commercial Development
Permit Area” to “Langford City Centre” and “City Centre Development Permit Area” throughout
the Zoning Bylaw Appendices;

Zoning Bylaw Appendix J and OCP Update
Page 2 of 3


-
Development Permit area expansion from the Downtown Pedestrian Commercial Area to the
entire City Centre area as defined in the OCP;
-
An addition to Appendix A section 1.4.1 Development Permit, regarding exemptions for single and
multi-family dwellings due to the inclusion of additional single and multi-family dwellings to the
City Centre development area;
-
Updated neighbourhood division, including background and development considerations within
the City Centre Area; and
-
Includes formatting, section re-ordering, reference updates, elaborated general objective section,
and guidelines directed solely at private development. Examples include:
o “Parking lots and structures are expected to incorporate wiring for Electric Vehicle
charging stations.”
o “Development is encouraged to incorporate multiple lots (consolidation of two or more
lots) as to increase green space potential.”

Official Community Plan Bylaw 1200 Update – (Bylaw 1828)
The updates occurring to the OCP are as listed in the attached bylaw. Due to Appendix J, a number of
updates should be made to the OCP for continuity and clarity.
-
The City Centre section has undergone visual and contextual updates to reinforce Appendix J.
-
Map 21 of the OCP will now reflect the entire City Centre as illustrated in Map 2 of the OCP, thus
adding to the development permit area previously identified in the core of Langford’s City Centre.
-
Additional objectives and policies in the City Centre section provide background for the updates
to the Design Guidelines with regards to green and open space as well as long term development.
-
Various text amendments throughout section 14.0 Development Permit Areas of the OCP to
update the Local Government Act section number references, the alteration, and the addition of
paragraphs referring to Map 21.
These updates create consistency throughout all documents affected by Appendix J.

Financial Implications
There are no negative financial implications foreseen for the City of Langford. In contrast, there is an
anticipated increase in development and an increased tax base from additional residential units.

Legal Implications
No legal implications, the City of Langford is permitted to make these changes under the Local
Government Act.

Options
That Council:

Option 1
Give 1st Reading to Bylaw Nos. 1828 and 1829 as presented;

Or

Option 2
Take no action at this time with respect to Bylaw Nos. 1828 and 1829.
