The wait is over – the Four Mile Pub officially reopened its doors on Monday, Jan. 20. This comes nearly three months after a fire ravaged through the restaurant in October 2019, causing extensive damage. “We’re just really excited to be back up and running and we’re thrilled to have 100 per cent of our staff come back,” said Meg Porter, spokes- person for Four Mile Pub. “We’ve had tons of support and well wishes from the community and we’re ready to have everyone back in.” The pub had a soft opening Sunday to pre- pare staff for what’s to come in the following days, as they expect residents to revisit the well- known establishment. Porter added that pieces of kitchen equipment have been replaced and the restaurant feels ‘clean and refreshed.’ aaron.guillen@goldstreamgazette.com The City of Colwood is among the top three finalists in SmallBusinessBC’s Open for Busi- ness Awards. The annual program recognizes communities that have “created a friendly environment for small businesses.” Colwood was shortlisted as one of three medium-sized communities with populations between 5,000 and 25,000 residents. The top three contenders also include Dawson Creek and the Township of Spallumcheen. “As a fast-growing seaside community, Col- wood offers an increasing number of commer- cial opportunities for small business owners,” Mayor Rob Martin said in a statement. “Colwood looks for innovative ways to at- tract businesses and help them thrive while enhancing our understanding of their needs and expectations.” Saanich is recognized in the top three for the large community category (25,000 residents and more) alongside Campbell River and Co- quitlam. The Open for Business Awards were launched in 2011 to celebrate communities where small businesses flourish. Created in partnership with the Province of B.C. and the BC Small Business Roundtable, nominees are selected for showcas- ing their “commitment to supporting the growth and success of the small business sector and looking for innovative solutions to drive eco- nomic development within their communities.” Ucluelet, Harrison Hot Springs and Lumby are among the contenders for the under 5,000 residents category. Winners will be announced on Feb. 21 at the Small Business BC Awards Gala in Vancouver.

Staff Report to Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee
Date:
December 9, 2019
Department:
Planning Subject: Bylaw No. 1662; Various Omnibus Amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 300
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to introduce Bylaw No. 1662 which proposes various amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 300 to fulfill previous Council resolutions and address issues that have been brought to staff’s attention.
BACKGROUND
Zoning Bylaw No. 300 was adopted by Council in February of 1999. Since that time, a variety of Omnibus amendments and rezoning applications have introduced incremental changes to the Bylaw; however, a complete review and revision of the entire Bylaw has not been undertaken since 1997. This Bylaw is intended as a first phase to a complete update of the Bylaw. The complete update will address conformity to the Official Community Plan, amendments to enhance the clarity, readability and general ease of use of the Zoning Bylaw and, potentially, consolidation of similar Zones for simplicity and consistency.
This Bylaw, Omnibus 44, focuses on updating the terminology and definitions used throughout the Bylaw, the consistency of measurements and conversions, and the formatting of the document.
GENERAL AMENDMENTS THROUGHOUT THE BYLAW
Bylaw Terminology The current Zoning Bylaw, Bylaw No. 300, contains a wide variety of land uses that are often listed as lengthy and sometimes inconsistent descriptions in the Zones. In order to provide more consistency between Zones and more succinct, easily understood regulations, each of the land uses included in the Bylaw were reviewed, compared and assigned a consistent name or term. Care was taken to ensure that the uses permitted in each Zone were not altered by the proposed changes in terminology.

Page 392
Bylaw No. 1662; Various Omnibus Amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 300 Page 2 of 7
As an example, several of the land use descriptions in the current Bylaw are listed below, along with the proposed new terminology:
Current Description in Zoning Bylaw Proposed New Terminology Personal Service including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, barber shop, beauty parlour, launderette, optical or watch repair shop, photographic studio and shoe repair Personal Service Establishment Business Service Establishments including but without limiting the generality of the foregoing: post office, desktop publishing, printing and photocopying Business Support Service Retail Sale, Rental and Repair of Tools and Small Equipment such as chainsaws, hand and edge tools, lawn mowers, motorbikes, roto-tillers and outboard motors Equipment Sales, Service, Repair and Rental, Minor Public Transportation Depots including, but not limited to the generality of the foregoing: bus stations, bus transfer sites, aerial tram stations, mass transit stations Transportation Terminal Light Manufacturing and Assembly in enclosed buildings including food processing but excluding the primary processing of meat, poultry and fish Light Industrial Use
Bylaw Definitions Many of the land uses in the current Zoning Bylaw are also not defined in Section 1.01 of the Bylaw. While some uses can be easily understood by their common, dictionary definitions, others can cause confusion or difficulty in interpretation and a resulting inconsistency in application. As an example, the following terms are used in different Zones throughout the Bylaw, and the differences (or similarities) between them are not clearly defined or necessarily apparent: “multi-level care facility”; “nursing home”; “private hospital”; “assisted living facility”; and “community care facility”.
In order to provide consistency between Zones and facilitate easier interpretation and application, similar terms such as the health-care related ones noted above, were reviewed, consolidated and defined. Definitions were created based on generally understood meanings; definitions in related municipal, provincial or federal legislation; commonly used definitions in other best practice examples and local Langford precedence and context. The nuances, or details, of the land use descriptions (as discussed above) were incorporated into the proposed definitions to ensure that the new terminology and definitions did not alter the land uses permitted in each zone.
Aside from a few Zone-specific uses (such as “Ronald McDonald House or similar use providing accommodation for the relatives of seriously ill children”), all of the land uses and most of the technical terms in the Zoning Bylaw have been defined in Section 1.01. As well, these defined terms have been capitalized throughout the text of the Bylaw to denote that they should be interpreted as specifically defined in the Bylaw.
Metric and Imperial Conversions The Zoning Bylaw provides a wide variety of lot sizes, gross floor areas and setbacks as metric measurements. Imperial measurements are also provided in parentheses after the metric measurement for ease of use and understanding. However, in many cases there were inconsistencies throughout the Page 392 of 486
Page 393
Bylaw No. 1662; Various Omnibus Amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 300 Page 3 of 7
Bylaw in the number of decimal places, conversion to imperial measurements and rounding of numbers. The measurements and conversions in the Bylaw have been reviewed, updated to include one decimal place in all measurements, and rounded up or down consistently.
Formatting, Cross-Referencing and Typos As previously noted, the Zoning Bylaw has been updated through numerous Omnibus Bylaws and rezoning applications by a variety of authors and applications since 1997. As a result of these additions to, and deletions from the Bylaw, some inconsistencies in formatting, typos and cross-references have occurred. This phase of the Bylaw update also focussed on applying consistent formatting, indentations, and numbering throughout the Bylaw, correcting cross-referencing between sections, and editing minor typos.
As well, as this update represents a new Bylaw with changes to all sections, references to previous amendments throughout the text of the document have been removed. A list of all previous amendments has been retained at the beginning of the Bylaw for convenience.
SPECIFIC AMENDMENTS
Section 3.01 – Uses Permitted in Any Zone The list of uses permitted in any Zone has been updated to include “Temporary Construction and Real Estate Marketing Office, subject to Section 3.06”, as these uses were listed as a permitted use in all of the individual Zones in the current Bylaw.
Section 3.02 – Prohibited Uses The list of uses prohibited in the City of Langford was updated to include: “Escort or Dating Service”, “Body Rub Parlour”, “Boiling of Blood, Bone, Soap, and Tripe”, “Refining of Coal Oil”, “Extracting Oil from Fish”, “Storing Hides”, “Tallow Melting”, “Slaughtering Animals” and “Manufacturing of gas, alkali, sulphuric acid, chemical manure, nitric acid, suphate and muriate of ammonia, chlorine or bleaching powder”.
Section 3.05 – Accessory Buildings and Structures Provisions were added in Subsection 3.05.01 to clarify that:
(3) “Where an Accessory Building is attached to a principal building by a foundation, floor, wall and roof, it shall be considered part of the principal building and must comply in all respects with the requirements of this Bylaw applicable to the principal building”.
This clause was added to prevent accessory buildings, potentially constructed only 1.0 metres (3.3 feet) from a property line, from being connected to the principal building by a ‘breezeway’, thus increasing the massing and footprint of the principal building without providing appropriate setbacks from neighbouring properties or adhering to regulations for lot coverage or gross floor area applicable to the Principal Building.
Section 3.18 – Projections into Required Setbacks A clause was added to Table 1: Permitted Projections into Required Setbacks to allow a reduced setback for Principal Buildings adjacent to walkways as follows:
Page 393 of 486
Page 394
Bylaw No. 1662; Various Omnibus Amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 300 Page 4 of 7
Feature Lot Size Setback Required by Part 6 of this Bylaw Type of Lot Line Permitted Projection Principal building, except those features noted separately below All lots From exterior side lot line Exterior side lot line abutting a highway less than 4.5 m (14.8) wide principal building may be located a minimum of 2.0 m (6.6 ft) from the exterior side lot line
This clause is intended to allow a reduced setback for principal buildings adjacent to pedestrian walkways, which are still classified as highways, but which do not require the same setbacks and buffering as roadways designed for vehicular use.
Section 3.19 – Calculation of Lot Width and Depth Diagrams were added to this section to clarify how Lot Widths and Depths are to be calculated, including how Lot Depth is calculated for Panhandle Lots.
Section 4.01 – Off-Street Parking A clause was added to Table 1: Off-Street Parking Requirements to require that Caretaker Dwelling Units be required to provide one parking space for the occupant of the unit, in addition to the parking spaces required for the principal use of the building.
Community Gardens Community Gardens were added as a permitted use in all Residential Zones, Commercial Zones, Institutional Zones and Comprehensive Development Zones where residential and commercial uses are permitted, as per Official Community Plan Policy 11.1.5, which states:
“Make community gardens a permitted use in all commercial and residential zones and in public places (parks, right of ways, utility corridors, etc.)”
Unused Zones The Agricultural (AG2), Civic Institutional (P5) and Institutional Residential (PR1) Zones were deleted from the Zoning Bylaw during this phase of the update as these Zones are not currently applied to any lands within the City of Langford. Future phases of the update may consider consolidating similar Zones where appropriate and in consultation with landowners whose properties would be affected by the change.
Section 6.92 – Comprehensive Development 3 – Westhills (CD3) Zone Transportation terminal was added as a permitted use in the CD3 Zone to recognize the future light transit hub on Langford Parkway.
The Keeping of Animals for Domestic Purposes Section 3.12 of the Bylaw’s General Regulations permits the keeping of animals for domestic purposes as an accessory use to a One-Family Dwelling on lots with areas greater than or equal to 4,000.0 m2 (1.0 ac), in all Zones. Section 3.12 also provides separate regulations and standards for larger animals (such as horses, cattle, sheep and goats) and smaller animals (such as poultry and rabbits), pertaining to the Page 394 of 486
Page 395
Bylaw No. 1662; Various Omnibus Amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 300 Page 5 of 7
maximum number of animals, methods of enclosure, permitted accessory uses and minimum setbacks for structures, buildings and manure piles associated with the keeping of animals.
The keeping of animals for domestic purposes was listed separately as a permitted use in the R1, R2, R2A, and PR1 Zones, with different minimum setbacks than those listed in Section 3.12. To create consistency, the keeping of animals for domestic purposes is no longer listed as a permitted use under individual zones, rather, it shall be permitted in any zone in accordance with section 3.12.
Medical Clinics and Accessory Related Commercial Uses The permitted uses in many zones has been updated to include “Medical clinics and related accessory commercial uses” wherever “Offices” existed as a permitted use. Staff was directed that these uses should be defined differently so as not to be synonymous, however the uses are similar enough to occupy the same zonings in every case.
OPTIONS Option 1

- Give first reading to Bylaw No. 1662;
OR Option 2
- Direct staff to amend Bylaw No. 1662 and that Council give first reading to Bylaw No.1662 as amended.
