DEVELOPMENT COST CHARGES Rezoning the subject properties to permit higher density of development will increase the assessed value of lands and eventually will increase municipal revenue due to the number of units created. As the developer is responsible to complete all frontage improvements, servicing connections and upgrades necessary to service the site, the direct capital costs to the City associated with this development will be negligible. A summary of Development Cost Charges that the developer will be expected to pay, is outlined in Table 8 below:
Table 8 – Development Cost Charges Development Cost Charge Per unit / area contribution Total @165 units Roads $3,188 $526,020 Park Improvement $1,890 $311,850 Park Acquisition $1,100 $181,500 Incremental Storage Improvement Fees $331.65 $54,722.25 Integrated Survey Area $35/per lot created n/a Subtotal (DCCs paid to City of Langford) $6,509.65 $1,074,092.25 CRD Water $1,644 $271,260 School Site Acquisition $600 $99,000 TOTAL (estimate) DCCs $8,788.65 $1,444,352.25

There never was a permit for that residence. The previous owner in the 90s said he was putting in a home office which was untrue. He actually renovated what was the garage into a 2 bedroom house. He was fined $5,000.00 and told to take down an extension to the rear of that building He did and then promptly put it back up after the inspectors left, which had the building . I have made mention of this extra residence to Langford and the B.C. Assessment for years and asked for them to be assessed appropriately but this fell on deaf ears. A small septic tank was placed on the property to service this additional living space and utilized the same septic field. This concern that the field was servicing 2 households and had not been upgraded was a concern due to potentia . The current owners were of the belief it was a legal residence and it was actually advertised as such. Also your package indicated that there was a meeting in 2019 with Avi Freeman and that name should correctly be Avi Freidman (architect from Montreal). I would like to know who was at that planning session with Avi Freidman that decided that the S1 Centennial Park area with late century single family dwellings on the cul de sac roads could be redeveloped into medium density apartments and townhouses. No one asked the residents who bought and paid for these dwellings. So please advise who was invited to take part in these meetings to decide our fate. This meeting also made the same decisions for two other residential areas in Langford who are equally distressed at proposed rezoning for high density in their neighbourhoods. I have an inquiry on behalf of the residents of who have a large garage that they would have liked to have developed into a carriage house but are now excluded from doing so by a bylaw change last year. We are allowed to have suites within the homes so the question is can they attach a roof between the house and the outbuilding that would be a covered patio area and have that considered as part of the house to allow for development of a guest suite? Can I put a home office with a full bathroom in my outbuilding that would serve me while I do my genealogy but also allow me to shower there after gardening rather than tracking into the house, or at least have a 2 piece toilet and sink?

Re: Re-zoning of the five lots on the corner of Carlow and Costin.
To whom this may concern:
I was unable to sign into the city meeting that was held on November 24-2020 at 5:30. It was only by accident I that heard about this. My neighbour just happened to talk to a lady walking on Carlow that was looking for signatures on a petition against this development. The information that was given on your web site “Cityoflangford.ca” under the heading of planning did not work for me. I tried multiple times using the phone number provided along with the Meeting Number” 854 9406 2052”. I eventually was able to listen to the meeting by signing into “Zoom” but was unable to participate. I realize that there were about 24 call-ins that did participate so I don’t know what I was doing that didn’t work.
My wife and I have been in our present location of . for more than
. We raised children in this area and the main reason we bought this place was because of the location, close to schools and the park. We believe the area around the park and close to school should remain a family and kid friendly area.
Changing the zoning from a “one and two Family Residential” area to a “medium to high density” area should be given some serious thought. The present application calls for 165 units of “one and two bedroom” units. These types of units are pretty much guaranteed not to have a lot of children living there. Why then allow this type of complex across from a ball park and less than a block away from a middle school.
I think that due to the size and what would be a major change in the zoning, the final decision needs to be postponed until a full in person meeting with the council can be achieved. I realize that in these times of Covid this would mean a delay but I really think this should be considered. This is not just a simple change from a single family home to a duplex that the present zoning allows. I know there is a lot of concern in the neighbour-hood about the size of this development. Listening to the meeting there only two calls had been received on this matter which seamed surprising to all involved. Maybe more people had the same problem I had signing into the meeting, thus all the more reason to have an in person meeting.
Some main issues regarding this development are parking, traffic flow, and the change in the feeling of the neighbourhood. The developer said that access would be onto Costin Rd. only then either to Leigh Ave or Carlow past the park. Turning from Costin on to Leigh can be a bit of a challenge because of the amount of traffic on already on Leigh. The other way is past the park which should be discouraged.
Page 85 of 572 Page 85 of 572 Page 85 of 572 Page 85 of 572 Page 85 of 572
Page 86
Parking for all residents and guests should be within the property limits. The parking on the streets around this area is already congested. Try to park on the street in the summer when the park is in use or every school day when the parents are picking up or dropping of kids for school. Nearly impossible. With this type of complex it is quite sure that there would be at least 165 vehicles, that’s only one per unit. I am sure some of the residents would have more than one car.
I called the planning office to inform them of the problem I had dialing into the meeting. I was impressed with the response I did receive from both of people I talked to. Thanks for your time. I told them I had not received any official notification of this meeting regarding the change in zoning. As I am only six lots away from this major development I thought we should have been notified by mail. The gentleman I was talking to thought that I should have been notified also. He checked into this and it was found that only those within 100 metres were informed. This distance might be good for minor changes, i.e.: single family to duplex or even a four plex. But for a major change that affects an entire neighborhood, I feel the minimum should be at least a 3 times that much. Maybe this rule should be changed depending upon the size of the development and the number of residents that could be affected.
I am not against development or change but I do think there needs to be more consideration given on the size, type and location of these changes.
It is for these reasons: Parking, traffic flow, the change in the look and feeling of the area, but mostly the change that this will have on what is a very nice quite family and kid friendly area.
The Residents of are definitely against this development and would like to see the area remain as an “R2” zone.
Thanks for your time.

With the proposal of 2-11 storey apartment buildings I am concerned about a substantial increase in road traffic, noise and an increase in parking on our street. I object to 2 large towers but am happy to support 1 lower rise building with family oriented suites (3 bed) and then 1 - 11 storey tower with 1-2 bed suites rather than the proposed 2 large towers. I would also be in favour of one of these buildings being a strata ownership whereby homes can be purchased rather than 2 rental buildings. Thank you,

Langford Planning & Zoning Re: Rezoning Bylaw Amendment Z20-0006
have written previously to the developers and cc'd a copy to Counsellor Szpak. I want to add to my comments and send photographs that help explain some of my concerns regarding this development proposal.
The proposal as per package sent by developers differs in height from that in the letter sent by the planning department to the residents. Your letter also incorrectly stated that there was a package available, which was incorrect, and therefore any information in that package cannot be addressed except by dialing in on the Monday, if we receive the package in time.
I have lived in Langford since , with the exception of a period of . I have paid taxes, supported businesses and volunteered in this municipality. I am now faced with a $20,000. bill for a substandard sewer system that does not support the density desired in the neighbourhood and recently a new bylaw amendment excluded our area from erecting a carriage house or a garden home. A couple of us waited for years for a sewer to accomodate outbuildings for this purpose. The cost of the sewer does not end with the installation but will incur a yearly cost for maintenance, will not function in a power outage, and will incur hydro costs. My current septic system was inspected a year ago and given a clean bill of health for a cost of $3,000. My neighbour just spent $15,000 on an upgrade. So after all of this we are expected to them be satisfied with our property values being decreased and the peace and enjoyment of our properties destroyed by a developer and neighbours who either inherited property or purchased for development purposes and with the exception of one person had no intention of making their homes in this neighbourhood.
Our homes have been turned into a commodity to be bought and sold. This scenario is being played out in two other residential neighbourhoods in the core and with as much upset as in ours. My house is my home. I looked forward to a proper sewer system, gravity not individual pump, which would allow me to finally landscape and add an outbuilding to reach its full potential. The neighbourhoods are being destroyed one development at a time and no plan to develop in a manner that would preserve family neighbourhoods that remain affordable, relatively peaceful and provide an alternative to the mass housing in the newer developments.
I enclose a few pictures to show the effects of the apartments that have been erected in the neighbourhood and the view from the houses day and night that are impacted by these two apartments. I also enclose a photo of the apartment on the corner of Leigh and Goldstream from the area behind the park on Carlow. As you can see the 6 story can be seen from a distance, and now imagine a 11 story building. It will take over the horizon and be an impact to the residents in a couple of neighbourhoods. The light that comes from the Star on Goldstream is obtrusive and lights up the properties on Costin bordering the parking lot. The newest apartment adds to the glare at night shining into my neighbours back yard now that the evergreen trees have been cut down and the leaves have fallen from the trees bordering the roadway. Seems ridiculous that the city is proposing an planetarium to celebrate space and exploration when the light generated in our city adds to the inability for the Saanich observatory to explore the skies.
This development is wrong in so many ways and one of them is traffic. Traffic can already be a problem on Carlow as vehicles ignore the speed limits of 30 through the playground zone. Traffic going down Costin will reach the bottle neck on the corner where a number of residences have their vehicles parked on the boulevards obstructing the two way in and out onto Leigh Rd. As I stated in a previous meeting, any traffic that is turning left onto Goldstream Ave on Leigh Rd, if it backs up prevents the view of through traffic on Leigh at Goldstream. Many of us have had instances where we have approached to make a left turn onto Goldstream heading towards downtown Langford only to have a vehicle hidden by traffic in the Page 94 of 572 Page 94 of 572 Page 94 of 572 Page 94 of 572 Page 94 of 572
Page 95
turn lane, roar up to the intersection. Now you propose to add more traffic into the area and in the future planning to add additional apartments in the area.
I did mention security on a previous email submission and again re-iterate that Westshore RCMP is already, I believe, understaffed and ill equipped to deal with a burgeoning city population with existing staffing levels. The Star on Goldstream to my disappointment has had to have security staff monitor the building. A small percentage of tenants may cause problems in any area, owned or rented but this is a very real concern for the ability of policing to handle this increase. Hiring of new officers takes time and policing agencies across Canada are struggling to find suitable candidates. The fencing and screening does not alleviate my concerns for persons, who may or may not reside in the building to access the rear of our properties.
The property to the has a few wonderful old, large trees that I can only assume will be taken down a be replaced with a hedging of unknown height, but if I look at other developments a pitiful 2 to 3 foot hedging plant that takes years to acquire significant height. The mature trees provide nesting for the birds and add value to the neighbourhood.
Photos are included to provide some insight into the impact of the newest developments. I have driven many neighbourhoods in Victoria and Saanich and most are no more than 4 or 5 stories and many do not back onto existing homes.
I think a building of this size is unsuitable and indeed apartments not suitable for the neighbourhood. The recent additions are large and the Hedstrom built by this proponent has the garbage bin right out by the boulevard, the parking lot not screened from the road. A dull, obtrusive building, do we need another?
Regards,
Victoria B.C.

From: To: Langford Planning General Mailbox Subject: Attention: Robert Dykstra Date: Tuesday, November 17, 2020 11:50:01 PM Mr Robert Dykstra: I am writing this email with regards to the Rezoning Bylaw Amendment (Z20-0006) of the 10 and 11 story Condo's being built on Carlow and Costin avenue will not be very aesthetically pleasing to the residents in our neighborhood. I believe that the height is way too high and should not be more than 4-5 stories or possibly townhouses. I have a few concerns with the buildings being as tall as they are going to be, I have not seen enough parking for the amount of 165 units, and the lay out we have received only shows less than 100. Another concern is that the entrance to the parking will be on Costin avenue, which will increase the amount of traffic on our street, which is already increased due the Leigh exchange onto the highway. When and if this is approved to move forward what is the plan for the building workers going to park as they may park in the parking spots allotted for the park on Carlow and during the week Spencer students get picked up and the parents park in those spots and then once all those spots are taken, they move up Costin and sometimes blocking driveways or doing damage to personal property (eg knocking over fences). Then in the summer during baseball season they parks parking spots are always full and the parents of the players continue to park up and down the Costin avenue blocking driveways and when they are asked politely to move, they get upset at us the residents. When pictures of vehicles have been taken and sent in to City Hall for bylaw officers to come and remove or ticket the vehicles, nothing was ever done and when something was done it was a home owner(renter) that ended getting a warning ticket. What are the repercussions for damages to the residential homes when the blasting commences, will there be letters going out to let people know when the blasting is going to take place? What is plan for the water drainage at the corner or Carlow and Costin with all the construction that will be going on, the flooding could damage some of the close residential properties? In the letter we received there was no mention of any commercial offices or restaurants, these things should have been included in the pamphlet handed out to the local residents. If you could provide us with any further information with regards to all or some of our concerns would be appreciated. Page 99 of 572 Page 99 of 572 Page 99 of 572 Page 99 of 572 Page 99 of 572

Sent: November 2, 2020 11:43 AM To: Langford Reception reception@langford.ca; development@icdev.ca Subject: Redevelopment Proposal - Costin/Carlow Road Hello, I just received a letter from Ironclad Developments Inc. with respect to the above-noted proposed development. I would appreciate it if my comments can be passed on to the appropriate department with the City of Langford. I have copied this email to the developer. I own property on and my property would be affected by this development as these tall buildings
. I believe that there is a need in the "downtown" core for single family homes. This area has several townhouse complexes already and the area would suit townhouse development vs multi-dwelling development. There are townhouse complexes on Carlow, Dunford and Goldstream close to this proposed development. With the multi-unit developments on Leigh Road and Goldstream by Spencer School, there already are parking and driving issues as well as increased noise. There is also light pollution at night from these buildings. The proposed site is right next to a park and currently has limited parking with the park and school. I am not in favour of this dense a development but would be in favour of a much more scaled down version with townhouses or no more than a 4 story development. Langford has done such a nice job with the downtown core, it would be a shame to change this area from quiet family residential to an area dense with high rise multi-dwelling units.

From: To: Langford Planning General Mailbox Subject: Public Hearing Application Z20-006 Date: Wednesday, January 13, 2021 1:42:24 PM Can you tell me what happens after the council meeting during which we are to shoe horn in the public hearing on Z20-006? Do we residents have any further say in trying to limit the height of this building. I will be submitting a letter and am currently collecting signatures regarding the height and scale of this development. Most people I have spoken to have been here for 25+ years and are feeling that they have no voice, even if they do speak up. Told by mayor allegedly too bad when people went to the public hearing for the Star on Goldstream. What are our options? I will take this to the media to cast a spotlight on the rampant building of multi-family apartments without proper infrastructure, lack of style in the buildings and failure of Langford to listen to residents, exception being Fairway (they aren't satisfied).

Goldstream Gazette www.goldstreamgazette.com A20 Wednesday, January 6, 2021 Town of View Royal looks to rekindle interest in area’s history History buffs can start the new year with a peek back in time. The Town of View Royal has copies of the late Maureen Duffus’ book Craigflower Country, An illustrated history of View Royal 1850-1950, are now available at the town hall. The book, first published in soft- cover in 1993 but reprinted in 2011 with new information and photos from subsequent research, talks about the first European settlers on lands labelled by Hudson’s Bay Company colonizers as Craigflow- er Farm, the First Nations heri- tage of the area, and the transition from a farming community to a residential suburb. The book con- tains numerous archival photos and illustrations. While the area within View Royal’s pre-municipal boundaries (incorporation as a town came in 1988) has a colourful past, Duf- fus, who died in 2018 at age 91, also had a long familial history in Greater Victoria. Her great-grandparents James and Mary Yates, after whom Yates Street is named, arrived in Fort Victoria in 1849. Her grand- mother attended classes at historic Craigflower schoolhouse on Ad- mirals Road, and Duffus herself grew up in a waterfront home on View Royal Avenue. The longtime journalist, his- torian and co-founder of the View Royal archives in 1993 was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012 for her work in the community preserving local history. Duffus authored five books about local and Vancouver Island history. Craigflower Country is available at View Royal town hall for $24. View Royal residents and local history fans can find the late Maureen Duffus’ book, Craigflower Country, An illustrated history of View Royal 1850-1950, at the town hall. (maureenduffus. com) West Shore’s ‘strength and courage’ provides inspiration On behalf of Highlands Council and staff, I extend our warmest regards and best wishes to all. May the spirit of this wonderful season be with you and your loved ones throughout the holidays. I am inspired by the strength and courage of our West Shore commu- nity in the battle against the COVID- 19 virus. Your patience and steadfast resolve are appreciated by everyone. I am seeing glimmers of hope on the hori- zon and my New Year’s prayer is that the COVID-19 plague soon becomes a distant memory. As Shakespeare said “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands — one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. Through- out 2020, the highlight for me is how resilient and compassionate we are to- wards others who may be struggling. We rely on an unsung army of essential workers and volunteers who hold our society together and continue to deserve our thanks. Highlands has persevered throughout the pandemic. We continue to evolve our climate leadership plans and rejuve- nate our infrastructure through resilient asset management. During the holidays make sure you take time to stop looking at the ubiqui- tous flat screens and the roar of social media mayhem and think about the importance of our connection with family and nature. These are truly the precious gifts that stir our heart. As we reach the end of the year, I hope we take the time to re-evaluate what is important in our lives as we look forward to the recovery process in 2021. Ken Williams is the mayor of Highlands.

It’s time to get the lead out – or the paints or pastels. Noah Layne, the featured artist in the Metchosin Art Pod’s About Face – A Portrait Show, is hosting online portrait drawing workshops on Jan. 30 and Feb. 6. Victoria artist Layne has earned awards in Canada and the U.S. for his realist art. His work has appeared in galleries across North America and he has been short-listed for the Kingston Prize in Canada’s National Portrait Competition. He has been teaching since 2008 and founded the Noah Layne Academy of Realist Art in 2014. The classes will cover the spectrum of helping beginners get started to artists looking to brush up or improve on their skill sets, explained Dianna Farrell, a Metchosin artist who co-ordinates the ArtPod’s ongo- ing portrait classes. Layne will live stream his demonstration to start the class, and participants will work at home on a portrait photo to be emailed in advance. “Layne is a well-known and respected artist and teacher,” Farrell said. “We are delighted to have him conduct the work- shops and as our feature artist.” Students can email photos of their work as it progresses during the class and Layne will critique their work and help each student through the livestream. The classes will be recorded so students can watch them again at a later date. About Face – A Portrait Show, which runs from Jan. 16 to Feb. 28, gets underway with a Zoom opening on Jan. 16 from 7 to 8 p.m. The show will be on display on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Metchosin ArtPod at 4495 Happy Valley Rd., although the times and dates could change due public health guidelines. The show, juried by Layne and supported by ArtPod members, features submissions for sale se- lected from those who took part in online portrait classes. Although the portrait show was named About Face well in advance of the COVID-19 pan- demic, it has taken on a different meaning in terms of what the world is facing, Farrell noted. “Who would have known the world would be asked to take an about-face, to hide ourselves and our faces away from one another? About Face is the ex- pression of human likeness and our human-ness. It celebrates hope and a new year, perhaps a year when we can once again show face.” Metchosin artist Frank Mitchell, co-founder of the ArtPod, said although he misses the interaction of live art classes curtailed by the pandemic, the fact more people were able to participate in About Face online proved to be a silver lining. “Commissioned portraits are also expected to reflect the sub- ject’s view of themselves. Many of the greatest portraits derive power and meaning from the surroundings of the figure itself.” Workshop students will need an internet connection and a computer, tablet or laptop to participate, as well as a digital camera or cellphone to email pictures of their work. The workshops cost $89 and run on Jan. 30 from 1 to 5 p.m., and on Feb. 6 from 1 to 5 p.m. For more information on About Face, future classes and events, visit metchosinartpod.ca. rick.stiebel@goldstreamgazette.com Goldstream Gazette www.goldstreamgazette.com A12 Wednesday, January 13, 2021 District of Highlands 2021 Regular Council Meeting Schedule January

Staff Report to Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee
Date:
November 23, 2020
Department:
Planning Application No.: Z20-0022 Subject: Bylaw No. 1939 - Application to Rezone 671 Rockingham Road from R2 to RS1 to allow for a small lot subdivision
PURPOSE Cameron Lodge and Patrick Painter have applied on behalf of Blair McDonald to rezone 671 Rockingham Road from R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) to RS1 (Residential Small Lot 1) to allow for the creation of a 10 lot subdivision with neighbouring lots 679, 683, and 687 Rockingham Rd.
BACKGROUND While there are no previous applications for 671 Rockingham Road, Council may wish to note that 679, 683, and 687 Rockingham, which are located directly north, were rezoned to RS1 in January of 2018 (Z17- 0035). The three lots were originally one larger lot that had a lot area of 1,622 m2 and was previously zoned R2. This rezoning required the construction of the new parking bowtie within the cul-de-sac.
Table 1: Site Data Applicant Cameron Lodge and Patrick Painter Owner Blair McDonald Civic Address 671 Rockingham Road Legal Description LOT 8, SECTION 109, ESQUIMALT DISTRICT, PLAN 12553 Size of Property 1,410 m2 DP Areas Intensive Residential Zoning Designation R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) OCP Designation Neighbourhood
SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA The subject property is located near the end of the cul-de-sac on Rockingham Road. The lot is predominantly flat containing one single family home and multiple larger trees. The surrounding Page 122 of 572 Page 122 of 572 Page 122 of 572 Page 122 of 572 Page 122 of 572

neighbourhood is mostly single family homes and duplexes, with a larger townhouse development located to the northeast. Directly to the north is a RS1 zoned three lot subdivision as shown below in Figure 1. Should this rezoning be approved, the 10 lot subdivision would incorporate the area of these lots into the overall subdivision plan, reorienting them to an interior strata road with the additional area of 671 Rockingham Road.

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN The Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw No. 1200 designates the subject property as ‘Neighbourhood’, as defined by the following text:
Existing settled areas throughout the community predominantly located on the valley floor. • Predominantly residential precinct that supports a range of low and medium density housing choices including secondary suites • This area allows for residential and mixed-use commercial intensification of streets that connect centres and/or are serviced by transit • Schools, community facilities and other institutional uses are permitted throughout the area • Retail serving local residents is encouraged along transportation corridors • Home-based businesses, live-work housing is encouraged • Parks, open spaces and recreational facilities are integrated throughout the area • This area allows for Neighbourhood Centres to emerge in the form of medium density mixed-use nodes at key intersections. • Transit stops are located where appropriate
Figure 2: A Concept for Neighbourhood Areas
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREAS The subject property does not fall within any environmental or hazardous development permit areas. A form and character development permit will be required should this rezoning be approved as it would result in the creation of 10 small lots, which is considered to be an Intensive Residential development.
COMMENTS
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL This application is proposing to rezone 671 Rockingham Road from R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) to RS1 (Residential Small Lot 1) to allow for the creation of a small lot subdivision with neighbouring lots 679, 683, and 687 Rockingham Rd. Together, the four properties would be subdivided into 10 small lots, approximately 200 m2 each in area. As seen below in Figure 3, 671 Rockingham Road would create 4 full lots and portions of two additional lots that will be completed in 679 Rockingham Road which is already zoned RS1. For the purpose of this rezoning, staff are considering the rezoning of 671 Rockingham Road to produce 5 lots (Proposed Strata Lots 5 – 10 as shown below), with the other 5 lots being created in a reconfiguration of 679, 683, and 687 Rockingham Road. The RS1 zone does not permit secondary suites on lots less than 400 m2 in area.

Rear Yard Setback 5.5 m 5.5 m Parking Requirement 2 parking spaces for primary dwelling, plus 1 additional space for suite parking 2 parking spaces for primary dwelling, suites not permitted.
PARKING As noted in the above table, each lot will be required to provide two on-site packing spaces for use of the occupants of the primary dwelling. In regard to street parking, Bylaw No. 1000 requires that for every two lots created, one on-street parking space must be created. Given that the applicant is applying to create ten lots overall, they will be required to provide at least five parking spaces as part of the frontage improvements.
FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS Full frontage improvements to Bylaw No. 1000 standards to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering will be required as a condition of Subdivision approval. The Engineering Department has specifically noted that the developer will need to build a sidewalk in front of the property that connects to the sidewalk located south in front of 667 and 669 Rockingham Road. Additionally, the properties will need to be tied into the existing drain system within the road and they must underground the existing culvert/ditch that runs in front of the property.
SEWERS The City’s sewer system exists along Rockingham Road. The applicant will be required to connect each lot to the municipal sewer and be responsible for the costs associated with connecting.
WATER REQUIREMENT The owner may need to calculate Fire Underwriters Survey requirements and build according to the necessary fire separation requirements.
CONSTRUCTION PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN Council may wish to require a Construction Parking Management Plan as a condition of rezoning and require that it be provided to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering prior to any land alteration. This should be secured within a covenant, prior to Bylaw Adoption.
FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
Rezoning the subject property to permit higher densities of development may increase the assessed value of the property, and this may increase municipal revenue. As the applicant will connect the development to municipal sewers, and will complete frontage improvements, the direct capital costs to the municipality associated with this development will be negligible. A summary of the amenity contributions required pursuant to Council’s Amenity Contribution Policy and Development Cost Changes required pursuant to DCC Bylaw No. 26 are listed in Tables 4 and 5 below.
As discussed previously, for the purpose of this rezoning, staff are considering the rezoning of 671 Rockingham Road to produce 5 lots and their amenity charges will reflect that. Council may wish to note that an additional two lots will be charged amenity fees as per Bylaw #1745 that was approved in 2018 Page 126 of 572 Page 126 of 572 Page 126 of 572 Page 126 of 572 Page 126 of 572
Page 127

for the area encompassing 679, 683, and 687 Rockingham Rd. The previous rezoning that led to the creation of 679, 683, and 687 Rockingham Road already paid amenity fees at the time of subdivision.

From: To: Langford Planning General Mailbox Subject: File Z20-0022 Rezoning Proposal of 671 Rockingham Rd Langford, B.C. Date: Friday, November 13, 2020 8:30:11 PM Hi. We have some questions about this planned rezoning. What does in conjunction with neighboring properties 679, 683 and 687 Rockingham Rd mean? Does that mean there will be ten small lots on the property 671 Rockingham Rd. and 679, 683 and 687 Rockingham Rd. will remain as zoned and if approved there will be 13 properties in total? Or will all four properties by folded into one ten small lot subdivision? You mention "no suites". What enforcement mechanisms will there be in place to police this? In practical terms the only way to enforce such a rule would be to limit the dwellings to rancher (one floor) design. And from my experience limiting structures to that model isn't economically viable from a developer's perspective. And of course, there's the question of parking. Because let's be honest, if buildings aren't limited to rancher style design, each property will be three stories high with a suite increasing the amount of parking requirements from at least two vehicles per household to three. That's 30 vehicles vying for already limited parking space on Rockingham Rd. because we all know, garages aren't for cars they're for storage. A case in point, the four parking stalls that were recently created in the roundabout at the end of Rockingham Rd. in fact, only hold two vehicles at any one time. We look forward to the electronic meeting on Monday, 23 November 2020. Sincerely, Langford B.C. Page 133 of 572 Page 133 of 572 Page 133 of 572 Page 133 of 572 Page 133 of 572

Department:
Planning Application No.: Z20-0019 Subject: Application to Rezone a portion of 738 and 742 Walfred Road from RR5 to R2 and to amend the text within the R2 Zone to reduce the minimum lot size of duplex lots to 500 m2 when the lots have a minimum width of 17 m.
PURPOSE Ron Coutre has applied on behalf of Ryan Craycroft to: rezone a portion of 738 and 742 Walfred Road from RR5 to R2 in order to develop a mix of approximately 28 single-family and duplex lots, to amend the text within the R2 zone to decrease the minimum lot size for duplex lots when the lot width is at least 17 m, from the required 600 m2 to 500 m2
BACKGROUND
PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS The City has not received any previous planning applications on the subject property.

Subject: 738 and 742 Walfred Rd Page 2 of 13
OCP Designation Current: Hillside or Shoreline Proposed: No Change
SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA The two lots combined total of an area of 47,797 m2 (4.8 hectares) and are mostly treed and undeveloped, with exception of a single-family dwelling on 738 Walfred Road.
The surrounding properties to the south, east, west and northwest remain primarily in a natural state with large acreage type lots. The properties to the immediate northeast have recently been redeveloped into small lot single-family housing. Access to the northern portion of the site, which the applicant wishes to rezone to R2 (hereafter referred to as the “R2 properties”) will be via a continuation of Myles Mansell Road. The majority of the existing lots are proposed to retain their current RR5 zoning and will continue to have access off the Walfred Road cul-de-sac. Directly east of the subject property is a city park. The applicant has provided an environmental overview assessment report which indicates approximately 51% of the subject property would be protected by a non-disturbance covenant.

COMMENTS
OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN Langford’s Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw No. 1200 designates the subject properties as ‘Hillside or Shoreline Neighbourhood’, which are defined by the following text:
• Predominately residential precinct that supports a range of clustered low, medium and high- density housing choices including secondary suites. Higher building forms, such as point towers, will be permitted on hillsides to maximize open space provided some conditions are satisfied;
• Schools, community facilities and other institutional uses are permitted throughout the area;
• Home-based business, live-work housing is encouraged; Home-based accommodations (e.g. Bed and Breakfasts) are permitted;
• Parks, open spaces and green corridors (creeks, wildlife corridors, trails, etc.) are integrated throughout the area. Large playfields are discouraged due to grading requirements. Site and topographic responsive pocket parks, enhanced viewpoints, graded hiking and walking trails, children’s play areas, including ‘tot lots’ and outdoor exercise areas are strongly encouraged on hillside area;
• This area allows for Neighbourhood Centres to emerge in the form of high and medium density clustered mixed-use nodes; and
• Transit stops are located where appropriate.
Figure 2: A Concept for Hillside and Shoreline
An important consideration of the ‘Hillside and Shoreline’ OCP designation is to distinguish between greenfield sites and previously developed rural residential properties, which guides policy around the requirement for open space dedication, as defined in section 3.11 of the City’s OCP. Although the property Page 148 of 572 Page 148 of 572 Page 148 of 572 Page 148 of 572 Page 148 of 572
Page 149
Subject: 738 and 742 Walfred Rd Page 4 of 13
at 738 Walfred Road does not meet the definition of greenfield, 742 Walfred is completely undeveloped and subject to the open space dedication of at least 40%. Notwithstanding this, the applicant has voluntarily offered to allocate 51% of the combined subject properties as protected/private greenspace. DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREAS The subject properties are within the Interface Fire Hazard and Potential Habitat and Biodiversity development permit areas, which will require reports outlining measures to mitigate the risk of wildfire and to identify areas of sensitive habitat features. A portion of the subject properties are also within the Steep Slopes development permit area, which will require geotechnical review. The development permits would be required prior to any land alteration or subdivision approval, whichever occurs first. In addition, the lots within the R2 portion of the development are subject to a form and character development permit.
PEDESTRIAN, CYCLING AND MOTORIST NETWORK As noted, access to the proposed R2 properties would be by an extension of Myles Mansell Road to the north, although the new road into the property would likely be given a different name at the time of development. Staff anticipate that the R2 properties will be connected to future road network if/when the lots to the west are developed. The two remaining RR5 properties would continue to have access off the Walfred Road cul-de-sac. Pedestrian connectivity via a trail network along the western property boundary of the development to the north of the subject property (939 Walfred Road) will be constructed in the future, which will allow cyclists and pedestrians within the proposed development to access bus routes and bike lanes on Walfred Road.
DRAINAGE AND STOMRWATER MANAGEMENT As the site develops, an engineer of record would need to submit a detailed stormwater management plan, to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering outlining how stormwater will be managed on-site. As a condition of rezoning, Council may wish to request the applicant to provide a preliminary technical memo from an engineer, prior to Public Hearing, and to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering.
FIRE ACCESS AND FIRE SERVICES PROTECTION Where the new internal access road terminates at the property boundary to the east or west, a turnaround shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Fire Chief and may be provided on private property and protected by a covenant or SRW in favour of the City.
As per Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No 1000, any portion of road within the development must be within 305 m of a highway that has two access routes available to emergency vehicles. Although the development proposal does not currently meet this requirement, staff have noted that the development will eventually link into the road network to the west once the properties are developed, which would provide a secondary access route in accordance with the provisions of the bylaw.
However, concerns have been raised with respect to lack of a secondary access route and a request was made by the Fire Department to explore further options which may provide additional access points or safety measures to improve resident and fire employee safety in the event of emergency.

Page 150
Subject: 738 and 742 Walfred Rd Page 5 of 13
It is noted for reference that the rezoning proposal is dependent on securing a Development Variance Permit.
The Committee may wish to recommend to Council that they proceed with consideration of the rezoning proposal but defer consideration of the variance request until alternative access scenarios have been more fully explored, to the satisfaction of the Fire Chief, prior to Public Hearing.
SEWER A sewer main does not exist within Walfred to the south fronting the RR5 lots but is available to the R2 lots by extending the sewer main through the subdivision to the north (from Myles Mansell Road).
The applicant is requesting to vary the requirements of the RR5 Zone such that lots less than 40 ha may be created by subdivision when not connected to the municipal sanitary sewer system. Once sewer is available from Walfred Rd, the properties would be required to connect to sewer and would be responsible for any improvements or modifications needed to the mains within the road right-of-way.
As with the conditions to vary secondary access for emergency vehicles as stated above, the Committee may wish to recommend to Council to review all variance requests under a single application.
In addition, the developer will be required to submit fire underwriters survey (FUS) calculations to determine the water flow at the site and whether the building setbacks proposed are adequate to achieve the required water flow necessary to combat a fire. FUS calculations should be submitted prior to a development permit being issued.
COMMENTS
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing to subdivide the 47,797 m2 (4.8 hectare) site into three initial lots. Lots A and B would retain their current RR5 zoning and continue to function as two acreage-style lots totalling 4.27 acres and 3.12 acres respectively, of which 51% of would be protected by a non-disturbance covenant. Lot C comprises that portion of the subject properties proposed to be rezoned to R2 and would ultimately be re-subdivided in accordance with the specification of that zone into approximately 28 single-family and duplex lots. The applicant is requesting that the proportion of single-family to duplex lots be determined at the time of subdivision. No further development of the RR5 lots off the Walfred Road could take place until the lots are connected to sewer and all frontage improvements have been secured.
As part of the development proposal, the applicant is requesting to amend the text within the R2 Zone in order to decrease the minimum lot size of duplex lots from the required 600 m2 to 500 m2, subject to increasing the lot width from the required 15m to 17m. Considering the surrounding properties to the north have recently developed into small-lot single-family dwellings, the decreased minimum lot size should have minimal impact on the perceived character and scale of the surrounding neighbourhood, particularly with the increased lot width, and may provide a lower-cost option for home ownership in a relatively low-density neighbourhood.

FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS
New Municipal Road The applicant will be required to construct the new municipal road to the same road standards as Myles Mansell to the north, prior to subdivision approval. A two-point turnaround for fire access may be required. A revision to the site plan attached as Appendix A may need to occur to accommodate fire access requirements to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering, Approving Officer and Fire Chief. The applicant has negotiated a road connection to Proposed Lot C with the owner of the adjoining parcel at 939 Walfred Rd, which is currently within the subdivision process. It is proposed that this small section of road be dedicated at the time of subdivision of 939 Walfred Rd but built as part of the works associated with the ultimate subdivision of proposed Lot C. Council may wish to secure this in a Section 219 Covenant prior to Bylaw Adoption. Walfred Road Frontage improvements for Walfred Road (the RR5 properties) will be divided between Lots A and B, as follows, and a covenant placed on the title of each property prohibiting further subdivision or rezoning until frontage improvements have been secured:
Page 151 of 572 Page 151 of 572 Page 151 of 572 Page 151 of 572 Page 151 of 572
Page 152
Subject: 738 and 742 Walfred Rd Page 7 of 13
Lot A Frontage improvements for proposed Lot A would be required if/when the property is further rezoned or subdivided, to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering. Lot B The existing streetlight in cul-de-sac of Walfred Road in front of proposed Lot B will need to be replaced with a standard City light at the time of future subdivision. No other frontage improvements are required on Lot B at this time. As with Lot A above, a covenant will be required securing frontage improvements prior to any future rezoning or subdivision. Parks and Boulevard The Parks Department has not requested that any parkland be provided with this development, therefore 5% cash-in-lieu of parkland of the post-rezoning assessed value would be required prior to further subdivision approval of Lot C, as per Section 510 of the Local Government Act.
FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS Rezoning the subject property to permit higher density of development will increase the assessed value of lands and eventually increase municipal revenue due to the number of lots created. As the developer is responsible to complete all frontage improvements, the direct capital costs to the City would be negligible.
A summary of Amenity Contributions and Development Cost Charges that the developer is expected to pay is outlined Tables 4 and 5 below.

To: Langford City Council
Re: proposed Bylaw # 1945, concerning 738 and 742 Walfred Road
We are property owners of which with 742 and is
to . We do not agree with the proposed re-zoning as it is not consistent with the Official Community Plan which was approved by Langford Council after consultation with Langford residents. In the OCP, development along Walfred Road above Jacklin Road was to be limited to large lots.
However, given the re-zoning will in all likelihood be approved, we ask for the following:
• A security/privacy fence be extended along the planned roadway leading from 939 into the proposed development; and along the entire south boundary of 943/742. The fence is required as the undeveloped treed area at the south end of 943 is potentially subject to interface fires, and trespassers pose a liability risk to of a forested area with rough terrain.
• The owners/developers of 738/742 protect the root systems of boundary trees along the east and south borders of 943; and take responsibility, with the consent of the 943 property owners, to remove any trees at risk of falling onto 943 or 738/742 as a result of the land development.
• Keep the proposed “pathway” or “pedestrian egress” along the west boundary of 939 Walfred closed until is sold and developed, consistent with the approval of the re-zoning of 939 Walfred. Opening the “pathway” before more houses are built in this new neighbourhood could create a crime corridor for property or personal crimes.
We appreciate the opportunity to present our concerns and requests to Langford Council.
Sincerely,
Homeowners,

Sent: January 13, 2021 4:26 PM To: David Sametz dsametz@langford.ca Subject: Z20-0019: 738 &742 Walfred and Master community plan Hello David, I am the owner and resident at , and I received the notice of public hearing regarding 738 & 742 Walfred. Many on our street have discussed this proposal, and collectively have the following inquiry:
- Only one side of our street was delivered this notice, which caused concern to some of the residents. Why?
- What is the site plan for these two properties and master plan for the community? This will affect all of residents.
- Understanding that the overall plan for Langford is to increase the density while maintaining affordability, have any plans (other than stating 28-single/duplex lots) been submitted which indicate location of lots in relation to surrounding properties and forest?
- Many cities consider a high density living model, whereby ample consideration regarding urban forest strategies and sustainability are implemented. This includes integrating the existing environment of trees, large rocky hills and river/streams into planning. This allows for increased sustainability, improved air quality and a more serene/desirable living environment. What is the plan for the existing environment integration?
- How will the new properties be accessed? Through Walfred, or..? There are very large cliffs on the edge of 742 Walfred which would obviously require blasting for a through road to Myles Mansell. This would drastically affect our community with increased traffic on a narrow road, amongst other concerns with blasting.
- Regarding the master community plan, we would like information on connecting Myles Mansell and what the lower part of the forest which encompasses “Happy Hill” , Happy Valley School and the stream will consist of.
We overall are requesting greener strategies to urban development, and the preservation of the lower forest foot paths to Happy Valley School, Happy Hill and the stream footpath are essential to green planning. As a person with a , I understand the need for development, but also understand the need for an outdoor space for all to safely enjoy. This became all to evident to the community while managing through the pandemic. Page 161 of 572 Page 161 of 572 Page 161 of 572 Page 161 of 572 Page 161 of 572

Z20-0031 – Application to rezone 3016 & 3020 Glen Lake Rd and 1100 Jenkins Ave
Background In 2019 and 2020, respectively, the City purchased the properties located at 3016 and 3020 Glen Lake Rd and 1100 Jenkins Ave for community amenity purposes.

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN The Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw No. 1200 designates the subject properties as “Neighbourhood,” as defined by the following text:
• Existing settled areas throughout the community predominantly located on the valley floor. Page 175 of 572 Page 175 of 572 Page 175 of 572 Page 175 of 572 Page 175 of 572
Page 176
Z20-0031 3016 & 3020 Glen Lake Rd and 1100 Jenkins Ave Page 3 of 6
• Predominantly residential precinct that supports a range of low and medium density housing choices including secondary suites • This area allows for residential and mixed-use commercial intensification of streets that connect centres and/or are serviced by transit • Schools, community facilities and other institutional uses are permitted throughout the area • Retail serving local residents is encouraged along transportation corridors • Home-based businesses, live-work housing is encouraged • Parks, open spaces and recreational facilities are integrated throughout the area • This area allows for Neighbourhood Centres to emerge in the form of medium density mixed-use nodes at key intersections. • Transit stops are located where appropriate
A Concept for Neighbourhood Areas
Rezoning the subject properties to allow recreational facilities is consistent with the Official Community Plan.
ZONING The properties are currently zoned R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) in accordance with Zoning Bylaw No. 300. While parks, playgrounds and playing fields, hiking and bicycling paths, horse riding trails and ecological reserves are permitted in every zone within the City, recreation facilities such as that proposed by Boxing BC are not. As such, if Council wishes to allow Boxing BC to proceed, the properties must be rezoned to allow this use. The adjoining CD2 (Comprehensive Development 2 – Hull’s Field) Zone would be an appropriate Zone, as it permits indoor recreation facilities and contains many of the City’s other recreation facilities, such as Westhills Stadium and City Centre Park.
Financial Implications None.
Legal Implications If Council wishes to proceed with this application, a Public Hearing will be scheduled in accordance with the requirements of the Local Government Act.

The Acting Mayor called a first time for presentations. Resident #1 on Strandlund – Will there be sidewalks all the way down? There are no sidewalks now. An additional ten units of development with the increase in traffic on the road and I am wondering what the developers will do about that. Also, in looking at the package, reducing the front setback from the required 3 metres to 2.13 and the rear setback to 3.29, I am wondering if those were required when this was developed. There must be a purpose and what was the reasoning. M. Mahovolich, Director of Engineering responded regarding sidewalks – the applicant is required to complete their legal frontage improvements. The City also plans annual infrastructure programs, so can certainly look at it in April this year for consideration by Council. M. Baldwin, Director of Planning responding with respect to setbacks – While we try to establish the standards in the zoning bylaw with respect to setbacks they don’t always apply perfectly to every piece of property so if the applicant brings forward a building plan that has some minor setbacks but it is a functioning site, it can be done. Resident on Jodrell Court – I am concerned about the traffic with another 10 units, that’s at least 10 cars if not more with 90 units potentially on Millstream it’s putting a serious strain on that little light and Strandlund and the firehall there. There is nowhere else to get out. Is there a traffic plan here? M. Mahovolich, Director of Engineering responded – we did not require a traffic study in this instance because it wasn’t a significant addition to the existing traffic flow in the area. We do monitor the lights and adjust them for the traffic going through. Resident – the lights are getting ridiculous it’s really hard getting out of there, you’re waiting two or three lights and adding potentially 10 cars and 90 more on Millstream there will be real traffic constraints on the weekends. M. Mahovolich, Director of Engineering – We will check the timing of the lights on the weekends. Resident #2 on Strandlund - With respect to the sidewalks, there is a large rock that would have to be removed to be able to get sidewalks in. When is this going to start, we share a fence line that goes into their property. We have put up some temporary fencing because we have a ___ and ____ grandchildren. What kind of safety fence are they going to put up or do we have to put the fence up. M. Mahovolich, Director of Engineering – we can require safety fencing. Applicant M. Katah – we will be speaking with the neighbours, regarding the fence, we will relocate the fence to the property line and get the walkway improved somehow.

Staff Report to Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee
Date:
December 14, 2020
Department:
Planning Application No.: DVP20-0014 Subject: Application for Development Variance Permit to reduce the required amount of off-street parking for a 209-unit apartment building at 1995 and 2000 Hannington Rd
PURPOSE Ryan Mogensen of Ecoasis Development LLP has applied on behalf of BM Highlander Development Ltd for a development variance permit to reduce the required amount of off-street parking for a 209-unit apartment at 1995 and 2000 Hannington from the required 366 spaces (1.75 spaces per unit) to 289 spaces (1.38 spaces per unit).
BACKGROUND
PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS
Most relevantly, Council issued DVP17-0002 in 2017 to allow for the same variance proposed by this application. However, as per Section 504 of the Local Government Act, this Permit expired after 2 years when construction did not commence.
As additional background, the subject property was within the scope of the original rezoning application that created the CD6 (Comprehensive Development 6 -Bear Mountain) Zone, which was approved in 2002 (Z-01-10). Since that time, it has been affected by subsequent text and/or map amendment rezoning applications (Z-03-16, Z-05-14, Z-06-13, Z-07-08) that modified the CD6 zoning regulations and Schedule “O” map (which defines the different "areas" of the CD6 Zone).
A rezoning application to specifically amend the Schedule “O” designation of the subject property from Area 3C (residential/small scale mixed use) to Area 1 (Village core) was approved by Council in August 2015 (Z15-0010). The intent was to allow for a wider range of commercial uses on the subject property within a mixed-use building. After the ownership of the resort and majority of the remaining development lands was transferred to Ecoasis, a large-scale rezoning application (Z16-0002/OCP16-0001) was received Page 229 of 572 Page 229 of 572 Page 229 of 572 Page 229 of 572 Page 229 of 572
Page 230
Subject: DVP20-0014 Page 2 of 7
and approved by Council in August 2016. This application resulted in the creation of the CD6A Zone, which applied to the majority of the future development lands within the Bear Mountain area, including the subject property. The CD6 and CD6A Zones were later rebranded to the Resort Community of Bear Mountain 1 and 2 (RCBM1 and RCBM2) Zones in 2018 (Z18-0019).
DP06-0047 was issued in 2007 to allow a 16-storey, 216-unit apartment building on the subject property. At the time, this building was branded as the “Highlander.” While a Building Permit was issued and construction did commence on this project, it did not proceed past the foundation/parkade structure stage.
DP16-0078 was applied for in 2016 for a new design; however, the applicant did not proceed with the application.
The applicant is now working on a new design concept, and wishes to gain certainty with respect to their parking requirements prior to finalizing the drawings and proceeding with their Development Permit and Building Permit applications.

SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA
Both subject properties are located adjacent to the District of Highlands, east of the Bear Mountain village.
2000 Hannington has road frontage on Hannington Rd and Troon Court, and slopes sharply in elevation from approximately 175m on the south side (along Troon Crt) to 162m on the east side (along Hannington Rd). As noted, a partially constructed foundation/parkade structure is located on the property. This property will contain the principal building, underground parking, and amenity space.
1995 Hannington is on the opposite side of Hannington Rd, and is cleared and leveled. This property will contain a surface parking lot, for visitor parking.

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The applicant has weighed various options with regards to the best use of this property and its existing foundation structure for the past few years. A new design concept is currently being developed, however before proceeding any further with detailed design, the applicant wishes to obtain certainty with regards the required parking. They would like to pursue the same unit and parking count as was approved by Council in 2017 via DVP-17-0002, that being 209 units with 289 parking spaces. Under the original consideration of the Stonehaven and Highlander buildings in 2006/07, the parking was assessed jointly, and a requirement to provide 12 parking spaces for the exclusive use of Stonehaven visitors within the Highlander building was applied in lieu of requiring visitor parking within the Page 231 of 572 Page 231 of 572 Page 231 of 572 Page 231 of 572 Page 231 of 572
Page 232
Subject: DVP20-0014 Page 4 of 7
Stonehaven building itself. The vacant property at 2018 Troon Crt is being used as an interim solution for these spaces. The underground parkade on the subject property has a total of 287 parking spaces. Of these, 4 will be reserved for visitors of this building, 12 will be reserved for visitors to the Stonehaven apartment building, while the remaining 271 spaces will be allocated to residents. An additional 14-space surface visitor parking lot will be constructed on 1995 Hannington Rd. The two properties will be consolidated to form one legal lot prior to the issuance of a Building Permit. Overall, the off-street parking proposed for the new building (excluding the Stonehaven visitor parking) is summarized in Table 3 below in relation to the Zoning requirement.
Table 3: Proposal Data
Required by Zoning Bylaw Proposed by DVP Application Resident parking 1.5 spaces per unit (313.5 spaces) 1.30 spaces per unit (271 spaces) Visitor Parking 0.25 spaces per unit (52.3 spaces) 0.09 spaces per unit (18 spaces) Total Parking 366 spaces 289 spaces
In support of the request, the applicant has provided a parking demand study prepared by a qualified professional. This study states that the expected parking demand will be 238 spaces for residents (1.14 per unit) and 18 spaces for visitors, for a total of 256 spaces. The proposed supply exceeds the expected demand by 33 spaces.
In order to allow for some flexibility in the usage of these additional spaces, Council may wish to issue the variance to the total number of required parking spaces, rather than the ratio, with a condition that a minimum of 18 spaces be provided for the exclusive use of visitors to this building, and a minimum of one space per residential unit. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the parking spaces are allocated to each unit and visitors appropriately, Council may wish to require the applicant to register a Section 219 Covenant securing this requirement. The additional spaces could be leased/sold to units requesting a second space, or allocated for additional visitor parking.
The Bylaw Enforcement Department notes that there is limited available on-street parking in this neighbourhood. Should the actual demand for parking exceed that anticipated by the parking study, or provided on-site, there could be additional competition for these limited spaces. This may in turn lead to requests for the City to intervene to manage street parking.

Planning Application No.: TUP20 - 0007 Subject:
Application to Allow for a Group Daycare at 2323 Belair Rd.
PURPOSE
Charlotte Neufeld[A1] has applied on behalf of Creative Little Learners for a Temporary Use Permit to allow a group daycare at 2323 Belair Rd.
BACKGROUND
The applicants are applying for a Temporary Use Permit to allow for a Group Daycare up to 15 children. VIHA has reviewed the proposal and stated that the top floor is appropriate for this use and that two care takers will be required at all times to oversee the well being of this number of children.
The Temporary Use would not result in changes to the exterior of the building, nor is the property located in any Development Permit Area that would impact this application. There are no non-resident employees that would require additional on-site parking as the proprietors reside on the lower level identified for personal use.
Council may, pursuant to Sec. 3.27 of Zoning Bylaw No. 300, issue a Temporary Use Permit for any use on any property within the City.

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN The Official Community Plan (OCP) designates this property as ‘Neighbourhood Centre’ which is described as:
Predominantly residential precinct that supports a range of medium and high-density housing, including affordable and rental housing;
Schools, community facilities and other institutional uses also define neighbourhood centres when supported by housing and services in close proximity;
A range of parks and open spaces are integrated throughout centres;
Transit stops are located at centres where appropriate; and
Small scale local-serving retail node defines the predominant commercial use.
This application for a Temporary Use Permit addresses the desire for community facilities that would support the local residential uses by providing additional child care.
COMMENTS
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing to use the existing structure and yard space to expand their home occupation daycare to a group day care. VIHA has provided approval in way of allowing for 15 children to be accommodated at this address provided that two (2) full time staff members will be available to provide care and watch over the well being of the children in attendance. The applicants are requesting a 3-year Temporary Use Permit in the hopes of expanding the size of their current business.
The applicants are able to provide five (5) parking stalls by locating one (1) in the garage, two (2) entirely in the onsite driveway, and two (2) in the portion of the driveway located in the Road ROW. The Engineering Department’s Street Atlas indicates that at the time of full build out, Belair Road will only have a side walk on the even number or West side. Therefore, there will be no sidewalk interruption by future frontage improvements. As the pick up and drop off parking will only be utilized periodically during the day, it is acceptable that these stalls block those required for the residence and employees as those individuals will be required onsite during this time.
NEIGHBOURHOOD CONSULTATION The applicants have conducted Neighbour notification and have provided proof of this notification to the Planning Department. They have received signatory approval from the owner of the other strata unit forming part of the detached two-family dwelling. In addition, the applicants have received a letter of support from the residences of 2325 Belair who believe this increase in capacity will alleviate childcare demand in the community. The applicants have provided documentation of the support of their immediate neighbours as part of their application.

Planning Subject:
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in New Developments
SUMMARY The CleanBC economic agenda and recently passed Zero-Emission Vehicles Act in 2019 are part of a provincial legislative and regulatory framework addressing the growing electric vehicle market, forecast to comprise 100% of new vehicle sales in B.C. by 2040 (see more below). To meet the corresponding rise in charging requirements, the City of Langford may wish to develop a mechanism for implementing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in new multi-family developments. Providing the infrastructure at the time of construction of the building is the most cost-effective way to make at home charging available in multi-family developments. The following report outlines best practices and options available for the inclusion of charging station needs in the City. BACKGROUND The B.C. Provincial Government recently adopted Bill 28 – 2019: Zero-Emission Vehicles Act as part of the CleanBC economic agenda, which requires automakers and suppliers to meet the escalating annual percentages of new light-duty electric vehicle sales and leases, reaching: 10% by 2025, 30% by 2030, and 100% by 20401. In recent years, the market share of EV sales in B.C. has grown significantly, with sales increasing over 154% between 2017 and 20182. British Columbians are now buying the most zero-emission vehicles per capita in Canada, and the trend is only expected to continue3. In response, many local governments are

developing new policies, bylaws and guidelines to facilitate the installation of EV charging equipment in new developments. Previously, most local governments had used either design guidelines or stand-alone policies applied at rezoning or development permits to establish standards. However, zoning bylaws are now recognized as the most efficient form of implementation, as it applies to all new developments and doesn’t require negotiating legal agreements. The emergence of EV Energy Management Systems - also referred to as “load sharing,” “power sharing,” or “smart charging,” - has significantly reduced costs by allowing multiple vehicles to charge simultaneously while not exceeding the capacity of an electric circuit, and by reducing the necessary electrical infrastructure and electrical supply needed to power multiple EV chargers. The result has been a shift towards most municipalities requiring 100% of parking stalls in new multi-family developments to be “EVSE-ready” (roughed-in for future charging), with the exception of visitor parking. Providing EVSE-ready infrastructure (i.e. metering, transformers, electrical panel with breakers, outlet boxes, raceways), to accommodate future charging stations at the time of construction of the building is the most cost-effective way to make at home charging available in multi-family developments. This is particularly true when “load sharing” is employed. SUGGESTED INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS There are different configurations for the installation of EV chargers and costs vary depending on the level of electrical infrastructure available to the building (i.e. partial, EVSE-ready/energized or fully installed), as well as particular characteristics of the building types, driving distances, and local terrain. • Energized (“EVSE-ready”) – means all infrastructure required for the charging of an EV is provided, excluding the charging stations. Outlet boxes or electrical receptacles are electrically wired and dedicated for the charging of EVs. The EV owner would purchase their own charging station and have it installed at a later date.
Most municipalities with EV parking policies require developers to provide EVSE-ready/energized outlets at the time of building construction. Many developers may be reluctant to go to the expense of installing the EV charging equipment as it is unknown how many purchasers will value having such equipment available. Rather than actually installing EV chargers, a developer could make the building “EVSE-ready” by installing the metering, transformers, sub-panels cabling and connections, etc. and ensuring there is enough capacity to accommodate a pre-determined number of charging stations in the future. The cost of installing the infrastructure varies. Electric vehicle energy management systems (load sharing) systems drastically reduces the capital costs required to install the EVSE-ready/energized infrastructure. In contrast to a dedicated EV circuit where one circuit services one stall, one circuit is able to service multiple stalls simultaneously by controlling the rate and timing of charging. This reduces the necessary Page 243 of 572 Page 243 of 572 Page 243 of 572 Page 243 of 572 Page 243 of 572

Subject: EV Charging Stations in New Developments Page 3 of 7
electrical infrastructure and total electrical supply needed to power multiple EVs. Electric vehicle energy management systems also track usage and can enable or allocate billing to individual users. INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS IN NEW DEVELOPMENTS (BORNE BY DEVELOPER) Costs of roughing-in the infrastructure will depend on the building power requirements and parking configuration. A building with a relatively efficient parking layout may be able to achieve an average of six parking spaces connected to one outlet (6:1 load sharing). In this case, costs can be estimated to be between $272 and $470 per stall if implemented at the time of construction4. Assuming an approximate cost for a parking stall is in the range of $20,000/stall, the estimated cost for the provision of an energized outlet capable of providing Level 2 charging would be in the range of 1.3% - 2.3% of the total cost of the parking space (i.e., $272 to $470). CHARGING STATION COSTS (BORNE BY FUTURE HOME OWNER) Currently, there are four commonly used types of charging infrastructure available for electric vehicles: • Level 1; • Level 2 (dedicated); • Level 2 (load sharing); and • Level 3 (DC Fast Charging).
For new multi-family developments, Level 2 EVSE with Load Sharing is the most common and cost- effective. Table 1: Installation costs per stall (typically paid by the future home owner), assuming 100% of stalls are EVSE-ready (with load sharing) Level 2 (Load Sharing)* Townhouse: $307 Mid-rise: $566-$572 High-rise: $760
- Depending on the building type: 4-way load shared and load managed or 18-way load shared, 80A. A study conducted by WATT Consulting Group estimated it costs $6,800 to retrofit a single EV charger in a typical multi-family development when NOT EVSE-ready/energized. In contrast, installing EV chargers in locations that are energized can cost as little as $307 - $760 per stall (when load sharing is employed)5. INCENTIVES Currently, BC Hydro is working with the Province and FortisBC to offer provincial rebates for the purchase and installation of electric vehicle (EV) chargers to get homes and workplaces across B.C. ready for EVs.

Successful applicants to the multi-unit residential/ workplace charging rebate will be reimbursed for 50% of the cost of purchase and installation of eligible, new, Level 2 charging stations up to a maximum of $2,000 per station or energized 208V or 240V outlets dedicated to EV Charging up to a maximum of $1,000 per outlet. Applicants can apply for multiple charging stations up to a maximum of $14,000 in rebates per application. SUGGESTED OPTIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION • Update the Zoning Bylaw/Parking Schedule
Requirements for EVSE infrastructure could be included in the parking schedule requiring parking stalls in newly constructed multi-family buildings to include EVSE-ready infrastructure. The advantage of using the parking schedule is simplicity, flexibility, and clarity: a percentage or number of EVSE-ready stalls per unit can be applied to all new residential parking stalls. • Stand-alone Policies, Design Guidelines, Development Permit Applications
The City could also adopt a stand-alone policy on electric vehicle charging control EVSE infrastructure within new developments. A stand-alone policy in the design guidelines would allow city staff to evaluate EV parking requirements on a case-by-case basis, depending on the type of development under consideration. MUNICIPAL PRECEDENTS Zoning bylaws are now the most common means of implementation. Municipalities with EVSE requirements are summarized below.

√
LEGAL The Local Government Act states that a bylaw may establish design standards for parking spaces, enabling design standards for EV charging. Local governments do not have authority to regulate how strata councils or building owners will ultimately manage EV charging infrastructure. Langford may wish to develop its own policy for regulating EV use in strata buildings. Under the Strata Act, parking stall allocation and ownership is complex. If stratas have less than one energized stall per unit, it could become controversial and challenging to allocate availability in the future. In a situation in which a municipality were to require a developer to equip 100% of stalls as EV-ready in new builds, it is still possible that a strata corporation could amend its bylaws and decommission or prevent use of EV infrastructure. To prevent this, Langford could require a developer to enter into a covenant under Section 219 of the Land Title Act, which would require the owner of the land to keep the EV infrastructure in operation. The covenant would be binding on the strata corporation6. CONCLUSION Should the Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee support the recommendations of this report, staff will submit a further report to Council and consult with the West Shore Developers Association with recommendations for amending the Zoning Bylaw and/or Design Guidelines. Options That the Planning and Zoning Committee recommend that Council:
- Direct staff to prepare amendments to the Off-Street Parking section of Zoning Bylaw No. 300 such that:
a. For new buildings, structures and uses, 100% of multi-family residential parking spaces, excluding visitor parking spaces, shall feature an energized outlet capable of providing Level 2 charging or higher to the parking space;
b. Energized outlets, provided pursuant to section (1) above, shall be labelled for the use of electric vehicle charging;

Planning Application No.: DVP20-0007 Subject: Application for Development Variance Permit to reduce the required parking for a 127-unit apartment development located at 3003 Irwin Road.
PURPOSE Matt Pike of On Point Engineering Ltd. has applied on behalf of Westhills Land Corp. for a Development Variance Permit to reduce the required parking from 1.75 spaces per unit to 1.25 spaces per unit for an apartment development comprised of two buildings with a cumulative total of 127 units at 3003 Irwin Road. The reduced parking ratio would result in the construction of 159 spaces instead of the required 222 spaces, a difference of 63 parking spaces.
BACKGROUND
PREVIOUS PARKING VARIANCES ISSUED IN WESTHILLS
DP11-0014 A parking variance was issued within a form and character development permit in April of 2011 for a 68 unit apartment building located at 1145 Sikorsky Road. The parking variance reduced the required parking from 1.75 spaces per unit to 1.45 spaces per unit. This resulted in the construction of 99 spaces instead of the required 119 spaces.
DVP15-0007 A parking variance was issued in August of 2015 for Lakepoint One, a six-storey building consisting of ground floor retail, second storey office, and four residential floors containing 42 units, located at 1311 Lakepoint Way. The parking variance reduced the required parking from 1.75 spaces per unit to 1.12 stalls per unit. This resulted in the construction of 48 parking stalls instead of the required 74 spaces.
DVP17-0011 A parking variance was issued in July of 2017 for Lakepoint Two, a proposed 20 storey, 112 unit apartment located at 1321 Lakepoint Way. The parking variance reduced the required parking for the project from Page 256 of 572 Page 256 of 572 Page 256 of 572 Page 256 of 572 Page 256 of 572

SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA The subject property, 3003 Irwin Road, is an expansive piece of property that has been subdivided many times and will continue to be subdivided many more times as Westhills moves forward with future phases. For the purpose of this Development Variance Permit, this staff report will focus on the area within 3003 Irwin Road that is proposed to be subdivided and developed into two apartment buildings containing a combined total of 127 units, as shown on Appendix A.
The proposed area of works is located north of Constellation Avenue directly west of the Westhills school site, across from the intersection of Meridian Avenue and Constellation Avenue. The site area was issued a land clearing development permit in October of 2019 through DP19-0007.

COMMENTS
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The applicant is seeking a parking variance to reduce the required parking from 1.75 spaces per unit to 1.25 spaces per unit for an apartment development comprised of two buildings with a cumulative total of 127 units at 3003 Irwin Road. The reduced parking ratio would result in the construction of 159 spaces instead of the required 222 spaces, a difference of 63 parking spaces. The applicant is proposing that of the 1.25 spaces per unit, 0.10 would be allocated to visitor parking. While the City typically requires 0.25 Page 257 of 572 Page 257 of 572 Page 257 of 572 Page 257 of 572 Page 257 of 572
Page 258
DVP20-0007 3003 Irwin Road Page 3 of 7
allocated as visitor, the submitted parking study suggests that a visitor rate of 0.10 is sufficient. This will allow for more of the parking spaces to be allocated to individual units that need it and help prevent residents from using the street parking.
Council may wish to have the applicant secure in a covenant that at least 1 parking space will be assigned to each of the 127 units and that 13 parking spaces be secured as visitor parking. The additional 19 spaces could be leased/sold to units requesting a second space, or allocated for additional visitor parking.
The proposed buildings are to be made up of one four-storey building and one six-storey building, both with a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom condos. All parking is proposed to be located underground with the exception of some surface visitor parking. The variance to 1.25 spaces per unit is supported by a parking study completed by Watt Consulting Group in October of 2020.
At present, there are very few neighbours situated in the immediate vicinity as the area slated for the two apartment buildings is relatively undeveloped. Regardless, Council may wish to add a condition that all required parking spaces for the development be allocated to specific residential units (with the exception of visitor parking), and not allow parking to be sold or rented separately. This is a standard condition that Council has started applying to all new multi-family development to help mitigate street parking concerns.
Although insufficient off-street parking will lead to increased demand for on-street parking and may even lead to haphazard and illegal parking (all of which can result in increased calls to the City for enforcement) the parking demand study provided by the applicant concludes that the proposed parking will be sufficient with the addition of transportation demand management measures such as bike-sharing and car sharing. Council may wish to note that 1.25 spaces per unit is the same ratio applied to apartment buildings located within the City Centre and Mixed-Use Employment Centre Official Community Plan designations.
To help mitigate the impact of this parking variance, Westhills intends to create 5 additional on-street parking spaces that could be used for short term visitor parking, in addition to 7 existing on-street parking spaces.
Apart from this variance, Westhills has offered to implement an e-bike sharing program on-site. Council may look to this project in the future and examine how successful the parking ratio is before granting future parking variances in the Westhills neighbourhood. Westhills is also collaborating with the City to support the creation of a city-wide car sharing program. While the implications of this on this application cannot be measured specific to this proposal, there will be positive benefit to both the city overall, and this property in particular. Again, the Council can take a reading of the success of this program before considering future variance applications.
This project will require a Form and Character Development Permit prior to the issuance of a Building Permit. At that time, staff will work through design details relating to the site and building design as well as confirm the correct amount of parking will be constructed, dependent of the outcome of this variance application.

PURPOSE Mark Johnson and Mike Baier have applied on behalf of Marlene Norbury and Michael, Nigel and Katherine Staton to rezone 790 and 794 Latoria Road from RR2 (Rural Residential 2) and AG1 (Agriculture
- to R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) to allow for the creation of 25 duplex lots. There is a concurrent application to amend the Official Community Plan (OCP) designation of 790 Latoria Road from Agriculture to Hillside or Shoreline.
BACKGROUND
PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS ALR15-0002 – 790 and a portion of 794 Latoria were part of the South Langford block Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) exclusion application made to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) by the City of Langford. The application included 42 properties throughout South Langford seeking removal from the ALR. The subject properties received approval for unconditional exclusion in November of 2017, and as such are no longer within the ALR.

SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA The subject properties are located on Latoria Road, just west of Whimfield Terrace, each containing a single family dwelling and several accessory buildings. Both properties are treed throughout with a few rocky outcrops. While 794 Latoria is a panhandle lot with access off of Latoria, it also has access off of Deltana Avenue which is the proposed access point for the subdivision.
Lands immediately to the north, east, and south of the subject properties consist of one-family residential subdivisions and to the west is an undeveloped property that is slated to be a future elementary school. There are no lands abutting the subject properties that are still considered part of the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Official Community Plan Designation (OCP) 790 Latoria is currently designated as Agricultural and 794 Latoria is currently designated as half Hillside or Shoreline, and half Agricultural. Although 790 and 794 Latoria have area designated Agricultural, this designation is intended to apply to lands currently held in the ALR. As the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) has now excluded the subject site from the ALR, the applicant has made a concurrent application to amend the OCP designation of the site from Agricultural to Hillside or Shoreline to match 794 Latoria and the surrounding properties.
The Hillside or Shoreline designation is intended to be applied to predominantly existing low intensity settled areas throughout the community with a high percentage of open space and undeveloped areas located on a hillside or near the shoreline. The Hillside or Shoreline designation is further described in the OCP as:
• Predominantly residential precinct that supports a range of clustered low, medium and high density housing choices including secondary suites. Higher building forms, such as point towers, will be permitted on hillsides to maximize open space provided some conditions are satisfied (see policies for this area); • Schools, community facilities and other institutional uses are permitted throughout the area; • Home-based businesses, live-work housing is encouraged; • Home-based accommodations (e.g. Bed & Breakfasts) are permitted; • Parks, open spaces and green corridors (creeks, wildlife corridors, trails, etc.) are integrated throughout the area. Large playfields are discouraged due to grading requirements. Site and topographic responsive pocket parks, enhanced viewpoints, graded hiking and walking trails, children’s play areas, including, tot lots and outdoor exercise areas are strongly encouraged on hillside areas; • This area allows for Neighbourhood Centres to emerge in the form of high and medium density clustered mixed-use nodes; and • Transit stops are located where appropriate.

South Langford Neighbourhood Plan (SLNP) The South Langford Neighbourhood Plan (SLNP) designates the subject parcels as Suburban Residential.
Suburban Residential – applies to areas where the availability of municipal services allows for one- and two-family residential dwellings at densities that are similar to areas of existing, conventional (not small lot) residential development in Langford. A minimum lot size of 550 m2 (5920 ft2) is applicable.
Compliance with the Official Community Plan and South Langford Neighbourhood Plan While the OCP does not provide an overall density for the Hillside and Shoreline designation, it does support a range of housing options including low and high density clustered development. The SLNP suggests a minimum lot size of 550.0 m2 (5,920.0 ft2). If the proposed rezoning is approved, 25 lots would be created by subdivision at approximately 600 m2 each, with the intent to construct a duplex on each lot. The proposed rezoning meets the suggested minimum lot size of the SLNP.
Development Permit Areas Portions of the subject properties fall within the Riparian and the Potential Habitat and Biodiversity Development Permit Areas. If this rezoning is approved, reports prepared by qualified professionals and a Development Permit will be required prior to any alteration of the land on the subject properties. Council may wish to note that the applicants have had the Riparian Area assessed by a Registered Professional Biologist who determined that the area no longer qualifies as riparian habitat as Pritchard Creek was re-routed across Latoria Road. If this rezoning is approved and the applicant still wishes to build duplexes, a Form and Character Development Permit will be required as Two-Family Dwellings (duplexes) have been designated a Development Permit Area by Part 14 of the City’s Official Community Plan. Council may wish to request that all duplexes are considered under one development permit instead of each duplex receiving their own development permit for the purpose of ensuring a cohesive neighbourhood design and conserving staff time and resources.

COMMENTS
Development Proposal The applicant intends to rezone the subject properties to allow for the subdivision of 25 lots at approximately 600 m2. While the minimum lot size for the R2 zone is 400 m2, the applicant intends to create 600 m2 lots for the purpose of constructing duplexes on each lot. The site would be accessed from Deltana Avenue, with a new road running north-south, terminating in a cul-de-sac in the southern portion of 790 Latoria Road. With this proposal, there would be no direct vehicle access to Latoria Road. Vehicle traffic from Latoria Road to the proposed subdivision would access via Whimfield Terrace and further via Deltana Avenue. A trail connection is proposed from the southern end of the cul-de-sac that would allow pedestrian access directly out to Latoria Road. The proposed subdivision plan can be seen in Appendix A. While there is no Park dedication being made with this proposal, the applicant has noted that they intend to leave a treed buffer along the northern edge of 794 Latoria to help create a buffer from the northern neighbours.

Open Space Preservation To meet the objectives of retaining open space within developments in the Latoria and Klahanie neighbourhoods, recent rezoning applications on nearby properties including 709, 720, 774, 757, 760, 815, and 734 Latoria Road have provided the City with open space dedications equivalent to 30% of the lands (or a combination of open space and cash-in-lieu of open space equivalent to 30% of the lands).
The most recent rezoning at 734 Latoria Road provided the City with an open space dedication equivalent to 17.5% of the lands plus an additional $55,000 based on land value. Council may wish to note that the 17.5% of land dedicated to the City was designated as Streamside Protection Enhancement Area by the project biologist, which is an area of land preserved to protect the Riparian area that cannot be developed. The project at 734 Latoria also provided $112,896 as an ALR Exclusion amenity, equivalent to $6.72 per m2 of land rezoned.

The Parks Department has noted that they do not wish to take any park space on the subject properties. Given this, the applicants have proposed $190,254 in lieu of open space within the proposed development, which is equivalent to approximately 8.2% of the site area based on assessed land value. The ALR Exclusion Amenity contribution would also apply to this project, as a portion of the lands are currently zoned AG1 (Agricultural 1). Council may wish to note that this amenity contribution is derived from a Council resolution pertaining to the ALR exclusion block application made by the City which originally asked for $13.45 per m2. Based on the application of the amenity contribution on previous rezoning proposals within the area (734 Latoria and 866 Latoria), a contribution of $6.72 per m2 of agriculturally zoned area shall be applied to this proposal which equates to $94,080. The original intent of the ALR Exclusion amenity contribution was to set up an Agricultural Reserve Fund. This fund was never formally created and all past contributions have been put into the General Amenity Reserve Fund. Due to this, Council may wish to consider the ALR Exclusion contribution of $94,080 as part of their overall contribution in-lieu of on-site open space.
In total, if Council considers the ALR Exclusion amenity contribution as part of the overall open space contribution, the developer would be providing $284,334 in lieu of on-site open space which is equivalent to a value of 12.3% of the land. Council may wish to note that if this rezoning is approved, up to an additional 5% of the land value may be taken for park purposes at the time of subdivision in accordance with Section 510 of the Local Government Act. Council may wish to note that the Applicants are proposing a donation to the City of an area to be dedicated as road along Latoria but which will be used as a 5 m wide greenspace buffer between Latoria and the development, this area is equivalent to approximately 2.2% of the land area. Staff are therefore recommending a further payment equivalent to approximately 2.8% of the land value. This would bring the overall contribution for open space or cash in lieu to approximately 17.3%. Given that the Parks Department has not requested any land within the subject properties and the developer is making a predominately cash contribution, Council may wish to accept this proposal.
Potential Nuisances As has been past practice in the South Langford area, Council may wish to require the applicant to provide a Section 219 Covenant registered on title prior to Bylaw Adoption that provides future landowners with the understanding that a variety of agricultural uses and the South Vancouver Island Rangers gun range are located within approximately one kilometer of the site, that these pre-existing uses may result in general nuisances and that future landowners understand and accept the potential disruption to their residential occupancy of the site.
Transit, Pedestrian, and Cycling Network BC Transit bus stops located near the subject site provide service on Routes 48, 54, 55, 59 and 60 to the Langford Exchange and Metchosin. Most of these routes only run once per hour or two, with increased service during peak commuting hours. Many of the routes do not run on weekends or have a further reduced schedule. As noted previously, a trail will be constructed to link the proposed cul-de-sac with Latoria Road to provide a more direct route for residents to transit services and the neighbouring school. The developer will be required to construct a bike lane in front of the subject properties along Latoria Road as part of their frontage requirements.

Required Frontage Improvements All frontage improvements shall be constructed to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering and will include the following:
Latoria Road: A mutli-use trail connecting to the adjacent school site and construction of bike lanes.
New Road (off Deltana Ave): Streetlights, boulevard plantings, on-street parking, and continuation of sidewalks along eastern side, continuing from the south side of Deltana Avenue. Sewers The City’s sewer system exists along Latoria Road and Deltana Avenue. The applicant will be required to connect each lot to the municipal sewer and be responsible for the costs associated with connecting.
Water Requirement The owner will need to calculate Fire Underwriters Survey requirements and build according to the necessary fire separation requirements.
Construction Parking Management Plan Council may wish to require a Construction Parking Management Plan as a condition of rezoning and require that it be provided to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering prior to any land alteration. This should be secured within a covenant, prior to Bylaw Adoption.
FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
Council’s Affordable Housing, Park and Amenity Contribution Policy Rezoning the subject property to permit higher densities of development may increase the assessed value of the property, and this may increase municipal revenue. As the applicant will connect the development to municipal sewers, and will complete frontage improvements, the direct capital costs to the municipality associated with this development will be negligible. A summary of the amenity contributions required pursuant to Council’s Amenity Contribution Policy and Development Cost Changes required pursuant to DCC Bylaw No. 26 are listed in Tables 4 and 5 below.
Council may wish to note that Table 4 reflects the applicant’s current proposal of 25 duplex lots. If this application to rezone the subject properties to R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) is approved, they could potentially construct single family dwellings instead. If the developer chooses to construct single family dwellings instead of duplexes, a different amenity charge would apply for the General Amenity Reserve Fund and Affordable Housing Reserve Fund. This outcome is accounted for in the proposed bylaw and outlined in the Council Options as 2(a)(iii) and 2(a)(iv).

Planning Application No.: Z20-0029 Subject: Bylaw No. 1950 - Application to Rezone 1234 Goldstream Avenue from RS1 (Residential Small Lot 1) to RT1 (Residential Townhouse 1) to Allow for 7 strata townhomes
PURPOSE Brenda Kieffer-Ross has applied on behalf of Michael Forbes to rezone 1234 Goldstream Avenue from RS1 (Residential Small Lot 1) to RT1 (Residential Townhouse 1) to allow for the construction of 7 strata townhomes.
BACKGROUND PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS Z18-0026 – In 2018 Rachael Sansom applied on behalf of Michael Forbes to rezone the property from R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) to RS3 (Residential Small Lot 3) to allow for a 4-lot subdivision with lots approximately 250 m2 in area. While the zoning was approved, no development permit application was ever made and the development did not proceed as originally intended in 2018. In August of 2020, Council approved a residential zone combining which led to the RS3 zone being amalgamated into the RS1 zone. Therefore, the existing zone is now considered to be RS1 instead of the previously rezoned RS3.

COMMENTS
OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN Hillside or Shoreline Predominantly existing low intensity settled areas throughout community with a high percentage of open space and undeveloped areas located on a hillside or near the shoreline.
• Predominantly residential precinct that supports a range of clustered (See Glossary & next page) low, medium and high density housing choices including secondary suites. Higher building forms, such as point towers, will be permitted on hillsides to maximize open space provided some conditions are satisfied (see policies for this area) • Schools, community facilities and other institutional uses are permitted throughout the area • Home-based businesses, live-work housing is encouraged; Home-based accommodations (e.g. Bed & Breakfasts) are permitted. • Parks, open spaces and green corridors (creeks, wildlife corridors, trails, etc.) are integrated throughout the area. Large playfields are discouraged due to grading requirements. Site and topographic responsive pocket parks, enhanced viewpoints, graded hiking and walking trails, children’s play areas, including ‘tot lots’ and outdoor exercise areas are strongly encouraged on hillside areas. • This area allows for Neighbourhood Centres to emerge in the form of high and medium density clustered mixed-use nodes • Transit stops are located where appropriate
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREAS A form and character development permit will be required prior to the issuance of a building permit for the site as the proposed development falls within the Multi-Family Development Permit Area. The subject property does not fall within any environmental or hazardous development permit areas.

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing to rezone 1234 Goldstream Avenue from RS1 (Residential Small Lot 1) to RT1 (Residential Townhouse 1) to create a building strata comprised of seven townhouse units. As currently designed, one block of 3 units would face Goldstream Avenue with individual garages and driveways at the rear of the units and access off the shared strata driveway. The strata driveway would also provide access to a block of 4 units along the rear. The strata access is proposed to run along the eastern interior side lot line and have access off Goldstream Avenue where the existing driveway is located. The Fire Department has noted that a two-point turn-around is not required for this proposal and that the proposed access can accommodate a City of Langford Ladder Truck.
Figure 2 – Proposed Site Plan
The proposed development meets the parking requirements set out in Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by providing a single car garage with a single car driveway for each unit, and by providing 3 visitor parking spaces for shared use by the strata which exceeds the zoning requirement of 2 visitor parking spaces.

The applicant is seeking a height variance to allow 10.29 m instead of the required 10 m. Although they are seeking a height variance, the structures will not exceed 3 storeys. Council may wish to note that in another townhouse zone, RM2A (Attached Housing), the height limit is set at 3 storeys. Given this, Council may wish to change the height requirement for the RT1 zone to be 3 storeys.

PEDESTRIAN, CYCLING AND MOTORIST NETWORK The subject property is located within 40 m of a transit stop that is serviced by the #53 bus (Colwood Exchange/Langford via Atkins) which provides service to downtown Langford and to buses that connect to downtown Victoria and other communities.
FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS The Engineering Department has noted that the only frontage requirement for this site is the installation of a streetlight. Additionally, the department has requested cash-in-lieu for bike lanes. The Parks Department has also requested cash-in-lieu for two street trees.
CONSTRUCTION PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN Council may wish to require a Construction Parking Management Plan as a condition of rezoning and require that it be provided to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering prior to any alteration of the land.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN In accordance with Bylaw No. 1000, the applicant will be required to submit a Stormwater Management Plan as part of the Subdivision process. This will ensure that no Stormwater is displaced onto any surrounding properties. Council may wish to require a stormwater technical memo from an engineer prior to Public Hearing.
SEWERS The City’s sewer system exists along Goldstream Avenue. The applicant will be required to connect each unit to the municipal sewer and will be responsible for the costs associated with connecting.

Staff Report to Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee
Date:
January 11, 2021
Department:
Planning Application No.: Z20-0032 Subject: Zoning Bylaw No. 300 Omnibus to expand the permitted uses of the BP3 zone to allow for a wider range of economic activity.
PURPOSE The purpose of this amendment to the Zoning Bylaw No. 300 is to broaden the permitted uses listed under the Business Park 3 (BP3) zone, allowing for a wider range of economic activity to occur. The intention of the BP3 zone, as with other Business Park zones, is to provide light industrial business opportunity with little to no impact on the surrounding neighbourhoods. This amendment aims to expand upon the current economic opportunities while maintaining the operational integrity of this zone. The proposed additional permitted uses included in Bylaw 1953 are as follows:
- Automobile rental and sale facility, major;
- Automobile rental and sale facility, minor;
- Automobile repair and service facility, major;
- Automobile repair and service facility, minor;
- Catering;
- Fitness centre; and
- Industrial use, general.
BACKGROUND The BP3 zone was introduced in 2012 to accommodate a new Business Park Development. Since 2012, industry in this area has grown due to the location opportunity near the Highway and the serviceable population growth in Langford. The BP3 zone can offer and accommodate more opportunities than currently exist as per the original zoning creation.
It is important to understand the distinction between ‘minor’ and ‘major’ in the proposed uses. ‘Major’ in these permitted uses refers to activities as they pertain to large automobiles, recreational vehicles, agricultural equipment and vehicles and equipment used for industrial and construction operations. Whereas ‘minor’ refers to vehicles and equipment unrelated in nature and size to those referenced by ‘major’. Page 286 of 572 Page 286 of 572 Page 286 of 572 Page 286 of 572 Page 286 of 572

Sites and Surrounding Properties
There are two residential zones nearby, the RH1 (mobile home park) zone to the North and the R2 (one- and two-family residential) zone to the West. Traffic related to the BP3 zone does not need to go through these neighbourhoods as there is a more appropriate and direct route to/from the Highway via West Shore Parkway.
Figure 1 – BP3 Zone
COMMENTS
OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN
The BP3 area falls within the Mixed-Use Employment Area designation of the OCP. This area is described in the OCP as the following:
A predominantly workplace precinct that include business of all types including commercial, light industrial, and institutional;
An ideal location for creative or innovative infill housing (such as artisan live-work, mixed use buildings, etc.) that does not jeopardize the long-term function of the centre as an employment node;
Parks, public squares and open space are integrated throughout; and
Centre is an inter-city and/or inter-regional transit hub that connects residents and employees.

Page 288
Subject: Zoning Bylaw No. 300 Omnibus – BP3 zone Page 3 of 5
The BP3 zone was originally conceptualized with a light industrial focus. In previous years, nearby economic activity has generated further desire for a broadening of the permitted uses to maximize economic and employment opportunity while adhering to guidance delivered by the OCP.
The additional permitted uses are in line with the activities that are currently permitted throughout the majority of the other Business Park zones. The addition of uses to the BP3 zone is anticipated result in minimal change to the operational integrity of the BP3 zone, while increasing economic activity. Furthermore, nearby properties within the CD1-A1 (Comprehensive Development – Business Park, Area
- zone also incorporate similar permitted uses to those that are being proposed for addition to the BP3 zone.

Planning Application No.: Z20-0004 Subject: Bylaw No. 1844 - Application to Rezone 647 Goldstream Avenue from the One- and Two-Family (R2) Zone to City Centre 1 (CC1) Zone to Allow for Two Multi- Family Residential Buildings
PURPOSE Matthew McKay of DB Services has applied on behalf of 1138270 BC Ltd. to rezone 647 Goldstream Avenue from the One- and Two-Family Residential (R2) Zone to the City Centre 1 (CC1) Zone to in order to allow for the development of two multi-family buildings.
BACKGROUND
PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS In May, 2020, the owner consolidated 5 properties to create the current subject property. Prior to this, the City received a rezoning application on one of those properties (641 Goldstream) in 2019 (Z19-0002). That application proposed to develop a 6-storey residential building and was considered by the Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee, but not by Council as the applicant acquired 4 additional properties in the vicinity, consolidated them, and changed the proposal.

SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA The subject property is located on the south side of Goldstream Avenue, east of Veterans Memorial Parkway. Currently, due to the lot consolidation, the property has four single-family residential dwellings located on it. The two-unit residential dwelling that existed on one of the properties has been removed. To the east is a dwelling that has been converted to a dentist office and to the west are multi-family buildings that front Goldstream Avenue and single-family dwellings that front Fairway Avenue.

COMMENTS
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing to construct two multi-family buildings, one that would be 6-storeys in height along Fairway Avenue and one that would be 9-storeys in height along Goldstream Avenue. Combined, the 2 buildings would contain approximately 200 residential units, which includes some townhome units on the Fairway Avenue frontage. There will also be commercial units along the Goldstream Avenue frontage. A concept plan of the proposed site plan and buildings have been attached as Appendices A and B. Note that the attached concept plans are for two 6-storey buildings as opposed to the requested plan that would include a 9-storey on Goldstream Avenue.
There are some variances requested, which are discussed under the Requested Variances section below Table 3. These primarily relate to setbacks and landscaping, so the rest of the requirements of the CC1 zone would be met, which includes the onsite parking requirements, the provision of 5% open space, and 80% active frontage. If other variances are proposed at a future date the applicant would need to apply for Development Variance Permit and return to Council for approval.
Even though the CC1 zone has no height restriction and a previous proposal for two 12-storey buildings was supported by the Traffic Impact Assessment, the applicant has revised the proposal to include a 6- storey building and a 9-storey building. This change was made due to comments from neighbouring residents during pre-application consultation, conducted by the developer, some of whom were opposed to the 12-storey proposal, and some of whom expressed their preference for 4-storey buildings. To assure the residents that there would be a height limit on this site, even though the CC1 zone does not have a height restriction, Council may wish to require the applicant to limit the height through a restrictive covenant.
The proposed development does not include any vehicle access to or from Goldstream Avenue. All vehicular access to and from this site is proposed from Fairway Avenue. The Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) that was completed for this site was also sent to The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for their review and approval due to the proximity of this development to Veterans Memorial Parkway. Their review of the TIA did not have any concerns with the access off of Fairway Avenue.
With respect to type of units, Langford has seen a concentration of rental apartments among multi-family residential developments. In an effort to provide options for future home ownership and ensure flexibility of housing types for all residents, Council may wish to require that developers strata title multi-family residential buildings at the time of construction so that individual units may be offered for sale if market conditions change at some later date. Taking this step at the time of construction does not impede the use of the building as a rental, but ensures that a building is appropriately constructed and will not require potentially costly upgrades if strata title conversion is sought in the future. Council may wish to have the applicant register a building strata plan as a condition of rezoning prior to issuance of an occupancy permit and have this provision secured within a section 219 covenant registered on title.
To remain consistent with other multi-family developments that have recently been rezoned, Council may wish to require the onsite parking stalls be secured to each unit in accordance with the Zoning Bylaw parking requirements to ensure separate rent is not charged for a parking space. This would prevent future tenants from declining to pay separately for a parking stall and choosing to park on the surrounding streets instead.

Subject: Z20-0004 Page 5 of 14
Additionally, Council may wish to require the onsite parking spaces to be equipped with infrastructure so that electric charging stations can be installed at a future date without the need of an expensive retrofit to the building. Given the future development of electric vehicles, this may be viewed as a proactive step that would allow residents of the building a wider choice of vehicles in the future.
Table 3: Proposal Data
- Variance Requested
REQUESTED VARIANCES The applicant has requested to reduce the interior side yard setback to 1.5m on the western boundary line. This would apply to pinch points on the southern building and to the single storey section of the northern building, as shown in Appendix B. Coupled with this, is the request to reduced the 3.0m landscape strip along the interior side yards to 1.0m. The applicant found that a 3.0m landscaped area would conflict with the parkade below at those locations. There are also curves in the lot line along Fairway Avenue to which the applicant has requested an upper storey setback variance due to the curves. The final request is to permit landscaping and decorative fencing to conceal parked vehicles from Goldstream Avenue rather then expanding the commercial space at this location. If Council is supportive of these variances, they may wish to authorize the City Planner to issue these variances within the Development Permit for Form and Character.

FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS
Goldstream Avenue The applicant will be required to provide full frontage improvements in accordance with Bylaw 1000, prior to issuance of a building permit. Improvements along this section of Goldstream are relatively complete. However, improvements are anticipated along the boulevard area when the driveways are closed and street parking is created along the Goldstream frontage of this site. Reinstatement of curb, sidewalk, and boulevard landscaping will be required.
Fairway Avenue The applicant will be required to provide full frontage improvements in accordance with Bylaw 1000, prior to issuance of a building permit. This section of Fairway has not seen a lot of road improvements over the years, and as part of this development such improvements would include street parking, curb, sidewalk, boulevard landscaping, and street lighting.
Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure The Traffic Impact Assessment that was sent to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) for their review and approval did not recommend any intersection improvements as part of this development. MOTI agreed with this recommendation; therefore, no additional road improvements will be required beyond the immediate frontage of this site.
SEWERS A sewer main exists within Goldstream Avenue fronting this site, but not within Fairway Avenue. Any improvements, extensions, or modifications needed to the sewer main within the municipal road right- of-way will be completed by West Shore Environmental Services at the applicant’s expense.
DRAINAGE AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT This site is located within an area where stormwater infiltration is required as per Bylaw 1000. It should be noted that the downtown area is known to have a high water table, which limits how far down a building can be built while still implementing a stormwater infiltration system. As a condition of rezoning, Council may wish to request the applicant to examine how storm water can be managed on-site through infiltration and have a technical memo from a qualified engineer be provided in this regard to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering prior to public hearing.
NEIGHBOURHOOD CONSULTATION Early in the application process, residents were aware of the proposal and had begun writing to the City prior to notifications being sent out. With over 30 written submission received, the applicant held a neighbourhood consultation to discuss the project with the neighbourhood. From that meeting, 70 questions and/or concerns were raised, which the developer then itemized in a table format and responded to each one and then forwarded the responses back to the residents and City staff.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Rezoning the subject properties to permit higher density of development will increase the assessed value of lands and eventually will increase municipal revenue due to the number of units created. As the developer is required to complete all frontage improvements, the direct capital costs to the City associated with this development will be negligible. A summary of Amenity Contributions and Development Cost Charges that the developer will be expected to pay, is outlined in Tables 4 and 5 below.
FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS Council’s Amenity Contribution Policy The amenity contributions that apply as per Council’s current Affordable Housing, Park and Amenity Contribution Policy are summarized in Table 4 below, and based on an estimated 200-units with 500m² of commercial space.
Table 4 – Amenity Contributions per Council Policy Amenity Item Contribution Rates Total Affordable Housing Reserve Fund $750 per unit (residential) $150,000 General Amenity Reserve Fund $2,850 per unit (residential) $570,000 $10.75 per m² (commercial) $5,375
- The applicant will be charged for new units created at the time of building permit issuance, and is entitled to a 50% or 75% reduction depending on the use and height, for units above the 4th storey.

Thank you From:
Sent: August 17, 2020 3:36 PM To: Mayor Young mayor@langford.ca Subject: 20200817 - Concerns re: New development on Goldstream/Fairway Avenue Dear Mayor Young, My wife and I moved to Langford almost a decade ago, and have been impressed by the steady stream of sensible developments, from new sports facilities to new biking/walking trails that have consistently improved the quality of life in the region. That's why we are concerned about the new building project proposed for Goldstream Ave at Fairway. The success of developments over the past decade - including our own condo building - has been a manageable increase in density combined with buildings that fit the neighbourhood. Fairway Ave is a quiet residential street that doesn't even have sidewalks; it simply cannot handle two giant 11 storey towers that will make traffic in a pleasant residential neighbourhood unmanageable. Furthermore, the Royal Colwood golf course (and on the other side of Goldstream Ave, the train tracks and E&N trail) prevent the major changes to traffic routes that would be necessary to properly accommodate this many new residents, and their vehicles, in such a small space. Other areas of Langford are able to adapt to increased density with new roads; this community cannot. Finally, this community really does not need two giant towers built by Design Build Services, Page 305 of 572 Page 305 of 572 Page 305 of 572 Page 305 of 572 Page 305 of 572
Page 306
especially after the Danbrook One debacle. The City of Langford has done the right thing in supporting the tenants who were forced to vacate Danbrook One; neither this community nor the City of Langford should also carry the risks of an even bigger project by the same developers. We are completely in favour of new condo developments that are in keeping with the density and spirit of the neighbourhood. Please help to keep Langford the livable community that has blossomed under your leadership. Regards, , Langford, B.C. Page 306 of 572 Page 306 of 572 Page 306 of 572 Page 306 of 572 Page 306 of 572

My husband and I bought this house from my parents because we loved the quiet neighborhood, close proximity to many amenities and the spacious private yards. This is a friendly neighborhood where every one knows each other which makes it a highly desirable and safe place to live. We are raising our 2 young boys here and consider this a great street for our kids to play and ride there bikes, scooters, etc.safely. We cannot even imagine the kind of building that is being proposed for our street. A condo of that size does not fit in with this neighborhood. This street is enjoyed by many walking through down the middle of the road to enjoy Veteran's park as we have no side walks. The increased population and the cars that would bring to this neighborhood would not make it the safe and quiet neighborhood that we now enjoy. 4. We have great concern about how this development will generate more traffic. We have no sidewalks on our narrow street of Fairway Ave, and the amount of pedestrians is large. These pedestrians come from all over the area to walk down our beautiful and calm street. These pedestrians are now walking in the road, as there are no sidewalks. Increased traffic will constitute a huge danger to these pedestrians! 5. We worry about parking issues, as Fairway is already so narrow that large vehicles cannot get through if there are cars parked on both sides of the street. 6. Lastly, we are concerned about the potential for increase crime on our tranquil street, and ask for a plan for more police presence – we have already seen an increase in theft on our block in these last months. I sincerely hope these mitigations will be addressed in the development of the plans that have been currently submitted to the Planning Department. Again, when will the citizens of Fairway and Goldstream Ave. be able to view these plans Page 307 of 572 Page 307 of 572 Page 307 of 572 Page 307 of 572 Page 307 of 572

From: To: Langford Planning General Mailbox Subject: Proposed development at 647 Goldstream Ave. Date: Friday, July 24, 2020 12:21:57 PM Hello, I am mailing to express my concern over the large proposed development of over 200 residential units on Goldstream and Fairway. This project will negatively impact the community and residents. First, there will be an increase in traffic congestion not just while the project is being built, but permanently. Will taxpayers have to pay for the redesign and construction of new roads to support this project? Should the developers not bear these costs? Other negative impacts of the project include removal of community assets such as several 300 plus year old trees. This not only devalues the community, this idea is reprehensible and at odds with responsible and sustainable environmental urban planning and climate change mitigation. Finally, I am deeply concerned with the quality of design and build as I know people who were affected when Danbrook One had their occupancy revoked. People were left homeless during the winter because of unsafe building practices. What assurances are in place to avoid repeating that situation? Will the taxpayers of Langord have to pay for more moving and relocation costs? What is the current state of this building? This project should not go ahead as planned. Please consider the residents and the community before approving this irresponsible development. Sincerely,

I’ve just learned of a new development proposed for the 600 block of Fairway & Goldstream Avenues across from Veteran’s Park. It increases my concern about the traffic load on Fairway Ave. Fairway is a small laneway without sidewalks and does not have the capacity for increased traffic without endangering pedestrians. It is now even more essential that the proposed development at 647 Goldstream have exits and entrances on both Goldstream and Fairway Avenues.

Dear sirs,
As a tax paying resident of Langford, I wish to be included in the process with City Hall of rezoning the property at 641 Goldstream Avenue. I would like call-in access to the City Council meeting when this proposal gets its First Reading. As was always the case, before Covid-19, City Council meetings are open to the public, and I wish to retain my right of access with this process.
The proposed development at 641 Goldstream does not fit the scale of the local neighbourhood. Page 317 of 572 Page 317 of 572 Page 317 of 572 Page 317 of 572 Page 317 of 572
Page 318
There will be an increase in traffic and parking issues during and after construction. Access to Goldstream Avenue from Fairway Avenue and The Royal Colwood Golf Course can be dangerous now, it will be more so during and after construction.
Pedestrian access and safety on Fairway Avenue will be affected. It is currently a popular place for walkers, runners, bikers and dog walkers to bypass the narrow sidewalk and noise of Goldstream Avenue.
There needs to be adequate green space for residents of the proposed development. DB construction does not have a good reputation when their other developments are considered.
Privacy and noise will be a major issue for current residents. With this behemoth structure overshadowing the neighbourhood, it will be daunting to open curtains or go out into yards without feeling watched. Setting the development back from Fairway Avenue could alleviate some of this.
These are a few considerations on this proposed development which deserve consideration if this project is to move forward.

Thanks, -Rob -----Original Message----- From: Sent: May 6, 2020 4:47 PM To: Robert Dykstra rdykstra@langford.ca; Matthew Baldwin mbaldwin@langford.ca Subject: Project number Z20-0004 Dear sirs, The Covid-19 pandemic has caused uncertainty and hardship for people around the world. It is unfortunate that Langford council is using the pandemic as an excuse to waive public hearings regarding property development. I am writing in reference to the proposed development at 641 Goldstream Avenue. This was originally proposed as a 6 story structure, which was strongly opposed by local residents. Now DB construction is trying to propose a behemoth 11 story structure, without community consultations. Can the developers or Langford council predict what the “new normal” will be post Covid? The economic climate will undoubtedly be different as well. Does council want to have all the developments currently underway and future ones sitting uncompleted, unsold or unoccupied, with resultant decline in property values and tax revenues? It would be prudent to be cautious and perhaps place a moratorium on future proposals. In regards to 641 Goldstream Avenue there certainly should be mitigation on the development proposal given its doubling of size, impact on the local neighbourhood and the past history of DB construction. A structure of 11 stories will certainly increase traffic and pedestrian congestion along Goldstream and Fairway Avenues. Many city planners are rethinking urban design to be able to deal with social distancing and allowing for more green space. Other developments in the Langford area by DB construction do not afford much green space, if any. To decrease the impact on the established homes on Fairway Avenue, green space and a graduated elevation of the structure off of Fairway Avenue could be considered. During the construction of Oak Park on Goldstream Avenue, construction workers were parking haphazardly on Fairway Avenue, causing inconvenience to residents and service vehicles, dangerous congestion and mishaps, leading to the city having to implement parking restrictions. This will undoubtedly be a problem again if construction is to occur and will be ongoing with the possibility of an 11 story structure in the area. Langford advertises itself as a family friendly, nature filled oasis. My experience with the Langford council is that they do not care about what the community thinks or wants. Development at whatever cost is their mantra without respect for nature or the residents opinions. The effects of Covid-19 will impact us all for the foreseeable future. I hope Langford council is considering this with respect to future developments. I look forward to your correspondence regarding this.

I am writing to express my concerns with the proposed development at the above address by Design Build Services (DBS). Fairway Avenue is a neighbourhood with a mix of families with children, retirees, and a group home. Our street, although narrow, is used by pedestrians, bikers, children playing, and wheelchairs from the group home and the Priory. There is a community vibe as people stop to chat, admire gardens and pet dogs. This will certainly be destroyed by the proposed two eleven story towers by DBS. Fairway Avenue will be impassable with traffic attempting to access the buildings and those looking for extra parking. Even if sidewalks are constructed on Fairway, the street cannot tolerate this amount of extra traffic. Traffic, already congested on Goldstream Avenue, will be impossible during rush hour. Not to mention the disruption to traffic during construction. It will be a matter of time until a serious accident occurs at the junctions of Fairway Avenue and Goldstream Avenue. As a pedestrian I already have serious concerns crossing at the controlled intersections at Goldstream and Fairway Avenue and Goldstream and Veterans Memorial. I don’t know how safe it will be for anyone along those corridors. The traffic congestion will undoubtedly cause many people to avoid driving along Goldstream Avenue to shop in Langford. The proposed height of the development does not fit in the current aesthetic of the neighbourhood. I am not against development that is thoughtful and appropriate for the neighbourhood. With the current glut of construction in the Langford area, and the number of developments underway, it seems the council should reconsider a development of this size. There is already a surplus of rental vacancies in the area. The past few months of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us all to learn new skills, like self isolating and physical distancing. Parks and green space allow people to be safe and enjoy the outdoors, leading to improved physical and mental health. Green space must be a priority in any development, and it is certainly lacking on any past DBS projects and not included in the proposed development at this site. With the amount of development currently underway in the Langford area, one wonders how the current infrastructure in the way of roads, public transport, parking and parks/green space will cope. This will certainly be a deterrent to anyone looking to move to the area. Does the Mayor and his council wish their legacy to be behemoth vacant structures? Langford advertises themselves as being family friendly. Maybe they could listen to the families and friends of Fairway Avenue and approve a structure that appeals to the residents, lessens the impact on infrastructure and makes the community more sustainable for all. I look forward to your reply regarding my concerns. Page 322 of 572 Page 322 of 572 Page 322 of 572 Page 322 of 572 Page 322 of 572

Goldstream Avenue is already congested with the traffic that pours onto it daily. Fairway Avenue is a narrow street with no sidewalks and no room for cars to safely pass.

Please hold this proposed development to the 4-Storey roofline that exists on the 600 block of Goldstream Avenue. The proposed 12 storey structure does not fit with the current aesthetic of the neighbourhood and will stick out like an ugly sore thumb. There is a lack of green/recreational space for the residents of the development. Langford council has not addressed this with the increasing population density that will result with these new developments.

Two 12 storey towers is completely out of line with the immediate neighbourhood, and the greater neighbourhood is already saturated with condo developments, both old and new. I object to the proposed change in zoning to CC1 Traffic in the vicinity of Goldstream and Veterans is already a problem, and there are many instances when it is impossible to turn left onto Goldstream from my street - , necessitating the drive along Fairway to use the lights at Fairway and Goldstream.

To Whom It May Concern My Wife and I are residences of the City Of Langford living at . We are opposed to the proposed 11 story building at 641 Goldstream Ave as well as including lots in the 600 block area of Fairway Avenue.. Six stories is alarming. Eleven stories is Horrifying. An 11-storey building in the midst of homes,Town homes and other residential buildings,as well as a nationally known golf course will be a travesty . It will tower above everything else, blocking views and light. Parking on Goldstream Ave at this moment is at a premium ,traffic is always busy.WHERE are all the workers going to park??? The workers on the new Pacifica Housing project at 616 Goldstream have taken over all the parking in our area at this time. Turning left in front of a big 4X4 parked in front of our driveway now is dangerous every day. As a long-time resident and taxpaying citizen of Langford, I insist on opportunities for meaningful consultation for those affected by the project throughout the process with City Hall of rezoning the property at 641 Goldstream Ave &Fairway Ave. Open access to the City Council meetings when this proposal is discussed at every stage is required. It has always been the case that City Council meetings are open to the public, and we must continue to have this access as part of our right to be informed citizens .

Mr. Dykstra & Mr. Baldwin I find it unbelievable that you would consider allowing 2 towers of 11 stories to be built in a quiet residential neighbourhood of Fairway Ave. That is another 224 units added to the 180 units at 616 Goldstream Ave .I can wait for at least 30 cars to pass before I turn in to my Driveway now . What's going to happen when another 224 units are built across from us???? The council is using the ‘’COVID CARD’’ to keep everything a secret . Right now there must be 2000 suites being built in the Langford area . Where is every one supposed to come from???? The Star at Goldstream & Leigh Rds. . has advertised for months still doesn’t have full occupancy. There are hundreds of units getting built in the Hockley Peatt Rd area and all down Oromo Ave, Glen Lake Sooke Rd. area and Spencer area which were shoddy areas to begin with so that is justified . Now your planning 500 plus suites in the Veterans /Meaford area across from that god awful looking building built last year on Meaford .

Dear Mayor Stu Young & City Council,
I am writing with my concerns about the gigantic development proposal from Design Build Services for the lots on 641 & 639 Goldstream Ave, and 650, 644, 640 Fairway Ave. My specific concerns are listed below:
1.) Traffic is already too high on Goldstream Ave. In the middle of a pandemic, on a weekday afternoon, one can barely get onto Goldstream. Has the city done a feasibility study for the increased traffic that an additional 150+ units would create? There is simply no way to safely add this much traffic to Goldstream Ave. in this area.
2.) Unrented & vacant empty buildings Langford has new apartment buildings with units which are not rented, and owners currently offering free rent trying to attract tenants. What about the last building that Design Build Services constructed, that now sits empty due to poor construction? Why is Langford even considering giving this firm a building permit to create another monstrosity, when they cannot even legally rent out the last 11-story building they built?
3.) Increased Crime is a big issue. Fairway has already seen a huge spike in crime in the recent months, with the density added by the recently completed nearby apartment builds. We are so concerned about a higher & increasing crime rate with the astonishingly increased density this development proposes.
4.) Ample Green space is a necessity! The necessity for green space is so huge. Especially as demonstrated in this time of Covid-19, when outside is the only safe place to social distance. These units need to incorporate a proportionately higher amount of green space for the building residents. Especially as it is being demonstrated that the Covid-19 virus may be around for a long time…
5.) Trees: I’ve attached a plot map (lot 650 Fairway) with three hundred year old trees diagramed onto it, demonstrating that these trees are on the extreme western corner of the development property lots. It would be so appreciated by the community if these trees were left standing! Plus, it would soften the look of these giant apartment buildings, as the trees are nearly as tall as the proposed 11 stories.
Please consider the shape of the neighbourhood, and listen to the taxpayers who are asking Mayor and Council to downsize this proposed building, to a proportionate size which would fit structures which are already in the 600 block of Goldstream and Fairway Ave.

I’ve included a couple of panorama photos of our street to refresh your memory of the quiet, predominately single-story dwellings that make up Fairway Ave.
Thank you for your consideration,
p.s. Why don’t you take a walk, or drive down Fairway sometime, to see why we are all so passionate about our neighbourhood?

From: To: Council; Langford Administration General Mailbox; Matthew Baldwin; Robert Dykstra; Langford Planning General Mailbox Subject: Att: Mayor & Council; Re: Property rezoning for 641 Goldstream & adjoining properties Date: Wednesday, May 6, 2020 3:53:17 PM Attachments: Concern 641.Goldstream file Z20-007 .docx Concern 641.Goldstream file Z20-007 .pdf I am writing this letter to comment on the proposed development of the 641 Goldstream & properties in file # Z20- 0007 It is attached as a PDF & also as a Word doc below the body copy of the letter in this email. Please reply at your earliest convenience.
Mayor Stu Young & Council Robert Dykstra Mathew Baldwin – Director of Planning & Subdivision Planning & Zoning Dear Mayor Stu Young, Council, Robert Dykstra, Mathew Baldwin, Planning & Zoning, I am writing with great concern about zoning for the property being proposed for development by Design Build Services on 641, 639 Goldstream Ave. and 640, 644, 650 Fairway Ave. (reference file #Z20-0007). Why is this firm, Design Build Services, whose last 11-story building currently sits vacant due to the eviction of all tenants because of safety issues, even being considered for another building permit? Why have the neighbours not been informed while this monstrosity of a proposed 11-story development has been on the drawing board? Especially when our neighbourhood showed up in mass, with signed petitions and individual testimony opposing a 6-story building when this property was in the preliminary Committee meeting? I am also appalled that Langford has taken the step of Waiving Public Hearings due to the Covid-19, but has not put in place any conclusive way for the public to provide input to developments that will affect their homes, their property values and their enjoyment of lifestyle. When will we, the residents of Fairway and Goldstream Ave., be able to view these proposed plans that Design Build Services have already submitted to the Zoning Department? It feels to me like Developers have been given a green light, while the taxpaying citizens of Langford are being kept in the dark. This is simply not a fair process. Although I have not yet been able to see the proposed plans, I am requesting the following mitigation to these plans: That there be adequate and ample green space provided in and around this building complex, so that the apartment residents have enough space to be outside (and not be forced to congregate in the street as is happening now on Goldstream Ave. with the newly constructed low-income housing building).

Page 338
We ask that the buildings be set back from the street, especially on Fairway Ave. This is a neighbourhood, we want to see our neighbourhood feeling preserved. We want to see that the building themselves are stepped back, as the stories rise from the street level on the Fairway Side. a. That the buildings start at Four stories, b. Then step back to Six stories before they reach the full 11-story height of the currently proposed plans. This block of Fairway Ave. is mostly single level family homes, with only two, 2-story town homes on our street. We have great concern about how this development will generate more traffic. We have no sidewalks on our narrow street of Fairway Ave, and the amount of pedestrians is large. These pedestrians come from all over the area to walk down our beautiful and calm street. These pedestrians are now walking in the road, as there are no sidewalks. Increased traffic will constitute a huge danger to these pedestrians! We worry about parking issues, as Fairway is already so narrow that large vehicles cannot get through if there are cars parked on both sides of the street. Lastly, we are concerned about the potential for increase crime on our tranquil street, and ask for a plan for more police presence – we have already seen an increase in theft on our block in these last months. I sincerely hope these mitigations will be addressed in the development of the plans that have been currently submitted to the Planning Department. Again, when will the citizens of Fairway and Goldstream Ave. be able to view these plans that have already been submitted by Design Build Services? I believe that it is our right to view them and that as taxpaying citizens, we should not be kept in the dark. Please respond to these concerns at your earliest convenience. Thank you,

Goldstream is already unable to hold the traffic that pours onto it daily. Fairway Ave. is a narrow street with no sidewalks and no room for cars to safely pass. Please hold this proposed development to the 4-Storey roofline that exists on the 600 block of Goldstream. Plan exits and entrances on both Goldstream and Fairway Avenues. Make public the plans for this proposed development prior to the Planning & Zoning Committee Meeting. Please live-stream online Council, Committee & Public Hearing meetings. Please respond.

building without inspections as you go. 2) DB is currently involved in another project which I believe is not completed at this point. Due to the Covid impact on our society including lower demand for rentals and home sales in general why are we still flooding the market with rental properties. There seems to be no less than 5-10 building all rentals that are being built in the downtown core. At this point buildings that are finished are struggling to fill their vacancies. If you build an overcapacity for rentals in a downtown you once again start exposing yourself to risk as a council. The buildings owners as you are aware usually do not inhabit Langford or even British Columbia. There is no accountability for them to keep rents at levels that don't invite increased policing costs and other downtown related issues. I don't know how well your planners are acquainted with the city of New Westminster. Through some very painful learning they now know you cannot have copious amounts of rental properties as it is inevitable what will follow. They are just now after many years restructuring their downtown core with green space, townhouses and condominiums. I hope that we will not make this same mistake in Langford as it was very difficult for the residents of New Westminster 3) The proposed development on Goldstream backing onto Fairway Ave is two 12 story towers. I don't mean to state the obvious but why would the city approve plans for two 12 story towers after they built a 10 story derelict one? All of the previous developers were held to a maximum 5/6 stories. You, as a counsel have established this roofline all up and down Goldstream. You have put in trees that bloom and flowering baskets that line the corridor into the downtown. Why would you destroy that concept you have been working with by putting up two 12 story buildings . From what I have seen of DB previous builds they have no green space and are built with the biggest footprint possible. I believe that many were very astonished at the business decisions of the Colwood council in regards to the "pit" on Wale road or the Colwood Corners project that after 6 years is finally being cleaned up. There seems to me like there is a lot of risk involved in this. The council in Langford has made great decisions around growth and city planning but I strongly feel we are very much headed in the wrong direction as a city. If we fill the downtown with unfilled rental properties with no pride of ownership combined with a lack of greenspace we are asking for trouble. The people who live and own in Langford love this community and want to make sure that it is still a great place for families and children. I look at the rental properties that have just been finished on Goldstream and there is always a group of people congregated smoking on the sidewalk out front Is that what you want families to walk through on their way to Remembrance Day Ceremonies in the park?

In Summary, In all of our jobs we take pride in what we do. We have vision, goals and expectations of what we need to achieve. In Health care we constantly try to evaluate how we care for patients and never to do harm. My ask of you as a council is that you have a similar vision. Acknowledge the pride of the citizens that live in our great city. Acknowledge that there are ways to combine tax base, developer needs and profits with shared living space but without increased policing or risk. Most of all know that the people who live along Goldstream and Fairway moved here for a reason. We love this city and we want it to be safe for our families. We are again not against development but it should enhance the vision of Goldstream not destroy it.
Kind regards,

Dear Mayor & Council: As a resident and taxpaying citizen of Langford, I wish to be included in the process with City Hall of the rezoning of the property at 641 Goldstream Avenue. I would like call-in access to the City Council Meeting when this proposal gets its first reading. I object to the proposed development at 641 Goldstream as it has a too high density for our neighbourhood. It certainly does not fit the scale of the surrounding residential area and am very, very concerned about the increase in traffic, parking issues and possible increased crime and smoking on the streets. I ask for mitigation to development plans to address these issues. Page 346 of 572 Page 346 of 572 Page 346 of 572 Page 346 of 572 Page 346 of 572

Sent: October 12, 2020 7:27 PM To: Mayor Young mayor@langford.ca Subject: : Proposed 12 story towers at 600 Goldstream Dear Mr. Young My name is and I reside in at . I retired to this neighbourhood just over a year ago, after 30 years as the owner of a sales agency selling residential construction products to the builders and developers of BC . I love living here because it is so peaceful and quiet. Unfortunately, due to the proposed development at 645 Goldstream, my enjoyment of the area is threatened. My building, The Priory, and Fairway Woods are comprised mainly of seniors who enjoy walking, rather than driving , to access Memorial park and the downtown core. We have easy access to do so, and the area is set up to accommodate people of all stages of life, including those with mobility challenges. On any given day, one sees the community utilizing the parks, roads, and sidewalks in the area. Children can play safely in their front yards, with the street being used for skipping and hopscotch. Pet owners frequent the area, and everyone is happy to use this road to avoid using the narrow sidewalks, and to avoid passing the Page 348 of 572 Page 348 of 572 Page 348 of 572 Page 348 of 572 Page 348 of 572

disturbing smoking area and constant traffic on congested Goldstream Avenue. The entry to the park is perfect for us. Traffic is at a minimum, and we are happy with the situation all around. It is extremely short sighted for the city to consider re-zoning this area to accommodate two over-sized apartment buildings to the area, given that everything that we value will be no longer feasible. Additional parking on the street, the congestion of a high volume of traffic, and densification of epic proportions will amount to vehicle/pedestrian accidents and general conflict within the neighbourhood. In an area currently zoned for four-story buildings, it is counterintuitive to overcrowd the area when it is unnecessary. Consider those who have roots in this quiet neighbourhood. We should take precedence over such a development. I am aware that some of the more dilapidated homes in the area are being “held” by speculators, and I know the need for larger land assemblies is quickly becoming more of a consideration given the market conditions of the area, and the rising population in general. I understand the need for increased density, but in this case feel that the city needs to consider all stakeholders, not just those who make their living in the construction industry. This area is not the location for those large developments. In my opinion, this area is better suited to a project of lesser magnitude. The area would be better suited to stylish townhomes or condominium projects that already meet the zoning requirements. The proximity of the Royal Colwood Golf Club could be a further reason to create this kind of a landscape, with those retiring and looking to downsize being more likely to rent or invest in something other than 12 story towers shoehorned into 5 odd shaped lots accessible only by a narrow side street. To conclude, the application for re-zoning needs to be quashed. I am adamantly against the proposal, and the opportunity for public input has been limited, given the current distancing requirements due to Covid-19 protocol. In a case such as this, forging ahead when we have no way to voice our concerns is not democratic. Should you require further information, or have questions, I can be reached at Respectfully, Page 349 of 572 Page 349 of 572 Page 349 of 572 Page 349 of 572 Page 349 of 572

From: To: Langford Planning General Mailbox Subject: 647 Goldstream Ave Date: Monday, July 27, 2020 3:17:28 PM To Whom it May Concern, This email is in regard to the proposed development at 647 Goldstream Avenue, and my objections to it. I am a resident at , and the development would negatively impact the quality of life for everyone near it. The neighbourhood is made up of mostly 1-2 story single family homes and 4 story condos. Fairway is a street without sidewalks and residents feel safe walking down the street because it has so little traffic. At the end of the road there is a little park, frequented by families with very small children. The proposal, two 11-story buildings will add 224 residential units and commercial space. This type of densification will destroy the neighbourhood and its charm. Fairway Ave and this area of Goldstream Ave are not designed with that size development in mind. The development will be the eyesore of langford, totally dwarfing what currently exists and will ruin any sense of privacy for the surrounding homes. The neighbouring buildings (McConnell Place) are 4 stories, this development will be just shy of three times the height of McConnell Place. It will double the Solo Suites and triple Fairway Green. I can't believe a monster of development is actually being considered. Fairway Ave isn't even hooked up to the main sewage line (as per my neighbour). This is yet another impact to the current infrastructure, which was not designed for this type of densification. The impacts to traffic will be insane and completely unacceptable. I can't actually fathom the current infrastructure being able to support this type of development. Goldstream is single lane (each direction) plus bike lanes. The intersection of Goldstream and Veterans is already at capacity, as are the highway on/off ramps. I believe the Ministry of Transportation's traffic analysis would indicate the need to redesign some elements of current infrastructure - if they approve. I cycle often and adding this additional volume decreases my safety on the road while cycling. The "Colwood Crawl" will also be impacted significantly. I know that issue isn't in Langford's jurisdiction, however it impacts Langford residents. Adding this development will only cause more issues for those who commute for work. Then there is the removal of 300 year old trees and Gerry Oak trees. Losses of community assets like that are irreplaceable and irresponsible. The developer should be forced to save those assets. The development should also be required to add green space. It can't go unmentioned that Design Build Services built Danbrooke One. That development lost it's occupancy due to poor construction leading to unsafe housing. This caused all residents to be evacuated at Christmas and cost the City (read - Taxpayers - read me) money to correct. I do not want another unsafe building anywhere, but especially not within 80 meters of my home. Page 351 of 572 Page 351 of 572 Page 351 of 572 Page 351 of 572 Page 351 of 572

From: To: Mayor Young Subject: Rezoning of 600 block of Goldstream and Fairway to accommodate two 12 storey buildings. Date: Monday, September 28, 2020 5:58:20 PM As a resident of I would beg you to not approve the above rezoning. I know we don't count for much living in our tiny condos when compared with developers and their millions. But if no consideration is given to quality of life what sort of future are we dictating for Langford. The present limit of 4 storey buildings should continue to be adhered to. In fact this area is already so busy townhouses would be better suited. With this proposed development all the trees will be removed, the sunlight will be blocked and no sky visible to those abutting the property. Another proposed 240 condo units will result in an explosion of traffic, and the proposed commercial spaces will attract even more traffic. Langford is developing into a mess of busy roads and mega intersections. We should be able to go to our homes and have a tiny bit of breathing room, and a bit of peace.

As the below list covers items for both the developer of the site and the city as planners for the city's future, I have copied: Langford Admin, Mathew Baldwin, Robert Dykstra, and Langford Council Please respond to acknowledge receipt of email.

Form a small Resident Input Committee of residents to work with the developer and owner group To seek a collaborative approach to this development and to have the residents have their voices heard and provide direction in how the development progresses, I want to see a Resident Input Committee formed with the Resident//development committee formed. Objective6.24 Seek the participation of all sectors of the community in any decision- making or planning process. Policy 6.24.1 Actively engage the public to participate and be involved in discussions pertaining to the future of the community. Objective 6.25 Require development proponents to engage and gather input from the public. Policy 6.25.1 Set goals for public consultation among development proponents which must be fulfilled prior to consideration of development approvals. Policy 6.25.2 Require development proponents to engage citizens and communicate how their proposals contribute to the broader Community Sustainability Goals Type of building 1. Green building standard Policy 9.5.4 Obtain green building commitments and increased building energy performance requirements at the time of rezoning in the form of a covenant or development agreement. 2. A building around 6 stories is preferred. This size building won’t overwhelm the neighbourhood. This height also keeps neighbours with added privacy and sunlight 3. Windows being used should be low-glare/ low-reflection to reduce the heat bouncing off and impacting neighbours 4. It is preferable to have a senior’s living complex with condos on top. 5. It is preferable to include a percentage of units for affordable housing to continue to bring diverse families to the neighbourhood. If there are no designated affordable units, then families might be priced out of the market. 6. Commercial and rental spaces are not preferred as they can have lower occupancy Page 363 of 572 Page 363 of 572 Page 363 of 572 Page 363 of 572 Page 363 of 572

rates and increased crime. Aesthetics The aesthetic of the building is a big contributor to the feel of the neighbourhood. The development should have a “west cost” or similar aesthetic so it fits into what is currently in the neighbourhood, considerations should include: Objective 5.11 Promote a greater sense of place that celebrates our community’s unique setting and people. Policy 5.11.1 Ensure architecture and landscape design reflects local climate, topography, and history. Policy 5.11.2 Encourage community input into strategies for creating and celebrating our identity and sense of place. Policy 5.11.6 Enhance existing neighbourhoods to ensure they retain and/or enhance the community’s character 1. Want an aesthetic that includes natural elements (stone, wood etc, and brick) would match buildings in the 600 block of Goldstream (ex Fairway Green, Granderson, McConnell Place) and the park like setting that the Royal Colwood Golf Course bestows on the neighbourhood 2. Do not want an aesthetic of Danbrook One, Hudson Walk or other predominantly glass structures. This style of architecture replicates places like downtown Vancouver or downtown Victoria and Langford is a distinctly different community. Make Fairway avenue a “Woonerf” street: OCP page 77 Woonerf Street - Woonerf is a Dutch word that translates to “street for living”. Woonerfs are designed to accommodate the needs of automobile drivers but also integrate the needs of other users such as pedestrians, cyclists, and playing children. Woonerfs sustain lower traffic speeds through utilisation of chicanes, or, integrated traffic calming and intensive landscaping that forces frequent short turns. Policy 8.6.5 Where appropriate, implement Woonerf streets that allow for vehicle passage but use design techniques to reduce traffic speeds while simultaneously providing for safe access and passage of other users. Ensure street design features allow for temporary street closure as a means to support community activities. Fairway leads to Aldwynd and the Veterans Memorial Park which is used as a ceremonial space and community hub (Remembrance Day, Christmas, summer concerts, weekend and holiday craft/farm markets etc.). If Fairway becomes a “Woonerf” street, it can be closed to Page 364 of 572 Page 364 of 572 Page 364 of 572 Page 364 of 572 Page 364 of 572
Page 365
expand these community and cultural events by expanding the street. Ways to achieve this are: 1. Use sidewalk bulbs to narrow the street and add greenspace (including tress) which will build in privacy for current neighbours. Policy 8.5.2 Develop a “Complete Streets” strategy that increases the multimodality of planned and current streets, and which: i. Ensures all roads are pedestrian-friendly by ensuring safe, attractive, comfortable pedestrian facilities that are buffered from fast moving motorized and non-motorized road users as much as feasible through the use of Traffic Calming 1. Make all of Fairway a 30/km hr zone with signage to slow traffic and keep the residential feel to the neighbourhood. There is a park, a hospital and a school at either end of Fairway (and Grainger), this speed zone is appropriate. 2. Add a 3-way stop at Aldwynd and Fairway to increase safety of young families and other visitors to the Veterans Memorial Park. 3. Make Aldwynd a one-way street from Goldstream to Fairway. 4. Fix the light timing at Fairway and Goldstream. Road infrastructure: Fairway avenue is a small residential road with no sidewalks or centre lane, it is not infrastructure designed to support a large-scale development (of 6-12 stories). Ways to build up the road infrastructure include: 1. Add double wide sidewalks (so scooters and people can coexist) on Fairway from Aldwynd to 608 Fairway. Residents of the Priory use Fairway as a walking route, sidewalks will keep these vulnerable residents safe with increased traffic in the area. 2. Have the city buy Eileen Anderson Drive off the golf course (its their driveway) and then: · Add crosswalks at the Fairway /Eileen Anderson Drive intersection, · Add a 4-way stop at Eileen Anderson at Fairway (add stop signs), and Page 365 of 572 Page 365 of 572 Page 365 of 572 Page 365 of 572 Page 365 of 572
Page 366
· Add sidewalks on Eileen Anderson Drive from Fairway to Goldstream. 3. If necessary, add speed humps to slow traffic and a centre line to increase safety on Fairway. Parking 1. With all the development in the Goldstream area (Bryn Maur to Vantilberg) what is the parking strategy in place? 2. Make the street parking residential zone at peak hours for current residents. 3. Street parking is already limited, how will parking for construction workers during construction be managed 4. At 0.75 spots per unit, how will the additional influx of resident/owner vehicles to the site be managed? Development frontage and green space Properly orienting the development will keep Fairway as a small residential road: 1. Make Goldstream the front of the building. 2. Make the main entrance to the building’s parking entrance off Goldstream. 3. Make Fairway the back of the building. 4. Add trees and greenery to the property edges. 5. Use landscaping to create a park-like feel to the property. 6. If healthy, keep the 300-year-old fir trees and use them as a base for the park- like setting. 7. Use of green roofs to accommodate bird population the current greenspace and trees (unless it can be saved) Neighbourhood amenities As you build up and develop the neighbourhood, as per Policy 8.5.2 in the OCP, a “Complete Streets” strategy should be developed, not just the site. This will increase the multimodality of planned and current streets, and which: Ensures all roads are pedestrian- friendly by ensuring safe, attractive, comfortable pedestrian facilities. This will make the development a benefit to the neighbourhood, not a deterrent and will maintain or increase the walkability and livability scores Page 366 of 572 Page 366 of 572 Page 366 of 572 Page 366 of 572 Page 366 of 572

1. Add public bike lockups to create a safe space to lock bikes Policy 5.7.4 Ensure cycling infrastructure is accommodated in developments 2. Add public charging stations for electric vehicles to accommodate CleanBC’s electric vehicle goals and the ZEV Act. 3. Add public parking for car share companies Objective 8.14 Promote car sharing in the community. Policy 8.14.1 Work with development proponents to include share cars as part of development projects. Policy 8.14.2 Work with share car service providers to dedicate vehicles for the West Shore that can be used by existing and new residents. 4. Add public benches or seating areas to keep the neighbourhood feel and promote the continuation of neighbours getting to know each other. Objective 5.8 Ensure a range of public spaces are distributed and integrated across the city and in centres. Policy 5.8.1 Ensure parks and open spaces are integrated into the built environment. Policy 5.8.2 Promote the development of high-quality public squares or parks near or adjacent to civic, commercial or institutional buildings that can support formal and informal activities 5. Add community agriculture such as community gardens and planting edible plants instead of traditional landscaping. Bigger buildings don’t allow for backyard gardening and this would enable residents to add this to their quality of life. Objective 5.12 Promote urban agriculture in the built environment. Policy 5.12.2 Specify plants for landscape design that produce food or herbs wherever possible in planters, hedges, shrub beds, or trellises. Policy 5.12.5 Create urban agriculture opportunities in places of education such as schools and community centres so that urban agriculture may foster a connection between children and the process of growing, harvesting and eating fresh produce. Policy 5.12.6 Promote a wide range of urban agriculture practices that showcase food growing opportunities especially those that are relevant to private residential spaces that define the area (e.g. containers, rooftops, balconies and patios). Policy 5.12.7 Utilize vertical and rooftop growing spaces for urban agriculture. Page 367 of 572 Page 367 of 572 Page 367 of 572 Page 367 of 572 Page 367 of 572

Policy 5.12.8 Design urban agriculture spaces so that they are accessible to all people. Policy 5.12.9 Design urban agriculture spaces so that enhance natural habitat for beneficial insects, birds, and natural predators of garden pests. 6. Add bike lanes, as necessary, to promote active transportation. Public Services With all the development happening to bring residents to Langford, what is the strategy to improve public services for the Westshore? 1. General Healthcare: Hospitals, Clinics, Doctors (GP and speciality), Nurses, specialty clinics 2. Wellness: What strategy is in place to attract more wellness options for residents (specialty stores, fitness studios, therapy clinics etc) 3. Community Policing: · Are there plans to increase the staff levels at the Westshore RCMP? · Is there a strategy to police the E&N Trail, Galloping Goose, public parks etc? 4. Public safety: Is there a strategy to increase lighting on regional/city trails and parks to increase safety of the users? 5. Transit: · Will the developer work with the City to get additional bus service to the Westshore as the buses are already at capacity (note: use pre-covid transit numbers as current ridership is down during the pandemic) · Will the development cover the costs to improve transit facilities (shelters, pull out curbs, bus lanes) for the immediate and surrounding area as it will draw in additional residents? · What other public transit options are being planned to accommodate the growing population and commuting around the CRD? Is Langford proactively working with other municipalities to make real progress on the “Colwood Crawl”? Objective 5.7 Ensure centres are transit-supportive Policy 5.7.2 Ensure residential densities and the location of dense development Page 368 of 572 Page 368 of 572 Page 368 of 572 Page 368 of 572 Page 368 of 572
Page 369
increases viability and frequency of transit service. 6. Water, Sewer, electricity: will there be upgrades to basic infrastructure to account for the additional residents? Traffic Impact Analysis 1. When the traffic impact analysis is being complete, ensure it takes data from: · Veterans and Goldstream · Fairway and Goldstream · Aldwynd and Goldstream · Aldwynd and Fairway · Eileen Anderson and Fairway · Eileen Anderson and Goldstream 2. Current traffic data will be lower than normal due to COVID-19 and people self- isolating, staying close to home and working from home. When collecting data, the should be consideration for pre-COVID (end of 2019) traffic volume and the data collected should be increased to account for actual traffic impact 3. Due to COVID-19, the Royal Colwood Golf Course has seen a decrease in member activity such as tee times, special events and other mass gatherings. Please consult them to collect 2019 numbers to add to the traffic data as it would reflect an increase in traffic on Fairway, Goldstream, Aldwynd and Eileen Anderson Construction time 1. Due to the residential status of the neighbourhood**, and to maintain quiet family time, it is requested that there is allowable construction time is: · Mon-Sat: 8:00 am to 6:00 pm · Sunday: not permitted · Holidays: Not permitted ** It was mentioned at the Aug 20 meeting that there are children on the street, in extremely close proximity to the site that have ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Having shorter and identified work hours and days off will keep some normalcy for these children and their families and will respect the unique needs of the neighbourhood. 2. How long will the construction take? 3. What are the plans to mitigate disruptions? Page 369 of 572 Page 369 of 572 Page 369 of 572 Page 369 of 572 Page 369 of 572

Construction Workers 1. What are the plans in place to ensure workers adhere to social distancing? 2. What are the mitigation strategies in place in the event of an outbreak? 3. What are the consequences for workers not following PHO rules? 4. What amenities, type and quantity, for workers on site to ensure cleanliness and personal health? Danbrook One 1. What mitigation strategies are in place to avoid another situation like Danbrook one? 2. What are the ‘lessons learned’ from Danbrook One?

This height and density is TOTALLY out of character and context for the area, destroying both Goldstream's aesthetics/ambiance and the single family house neighborhood on Fairway, not to mention the mature greenery and trees which are rapidly disappearing in Langford. Previously, I last heard it was going to be a 6 storey building on one property on Goldstream. This type of height and density should be reserved for the " downtown core", which is turning in mid/high rises, side by side, with no green space, with resultant congestion. Quite frankly, it's starting to turn into an unappealing area. Do you really want the end result to be a high rise/mid rise concrete jungle? Within the boundaries of Langford, it used to be attractive, especially geographically. Now it's being paved over. You simply can not house everyone that wants to move here ,especially if you keep enticing them. It's unsustainable. Building is going to occur on the stated properties, as developers lure homeowners with money, but it CAN be made to be more sensitive to the current area without total obliterating it. I urge you to reduce the height and density, and retain some of the trees for green space. All these people cooped up in their little apartments, where do they get to enjoy and play in some green space? Not everyone can fit in Veterans Park, which is 1/2 concrete anyways. Make this project an attractive, live-able section. Listen to the people in the area and their concerns, not the developers, whose main aim is profit. On that same note, citizens should be allowed to continue to live in the "traditional" single family home with yards, that have existed prior to this current building rush, particularly in the past 5 years. This , without the constant threat of their neighborhood being made into a flurry of high rise buildings or mid rise, with perhaps a grassy plant in front. Thank you for your time.
PS- I understand, through a meeting with Mike Wignall with the neighborhood involved, that a huge chunk of what is currently, older single family homes, with large yards, mature trees and greenery, is doomed, or should I say zoned to become , "downtown" as time progresses.. This means unlimited heights of concrete/glass towers and no green space. Why do you want to look like Vancouver or any other generic city? Why can't you be more creative, forward thinking? It also appears that this new development , Rockford Place, is a done deal, and citizens who oppose, whether in entirety or portions of, are not heard. Its always about what the developers want and what city council wants.

The residents who live here and the local people who use this street on a daily basis have always enjoyed taking a leisurely stroll down Fairway off of the very busy Goldstream Avenue. By allowing a contractor to build another large rental unit that will TOWER over the other condo and rental units already in place will show the community that the goal of Langford City Council is to cram as many people into as small a space as possible. Langford has a new apartment buildings with units which are not rented, and owners currently offering free rent to attract tenants. Is Langford going to be one of those places with an over abundance of rental units resulting in reduced rents and partially filled buildings, which will result in undesirable tenants. Will that cause Langford to go back to its former nickname of Gangford? I understand that the last building Design Build Services constructed now sits empty due to poor construction. Does Langford City Council want to risk having a second building sitting empty and another black mark on Langfords good name? The residents of Fairway Ave and Goldstream Ave. understand that progress is inevitable but the new building structures should be within the same heights of the surrounding buildings. That way the new building can blend in with the neighbouring buildings instead of towering over top and becoming an eyesore, instead of inevitable progress. Please give this building project the careful consideration that all of the neighbors around it deserve. Page 374 of 572 Page 374 of 572 Page 374 of 572 Page 374 of 572 Page 374 of 572

I have noticed in the past 3 to 4 years it seems that the goal of Langford planning department and city council is to please the developers and cram as much into a city lot as possible. It is becoming less aesthetically pleasing. I understand the need for housing but it feels as if we are being crowded out of our little neighborhood streets. With no regard for the people who live there and those who use the little quiet streets for their pleasure.

It appears that the development plan that Langford has is to build high and use every foot of land for building purposes and very little for green space . The opinions of the residents already living in Langford need to also be considered when these mass developments are proposed. I'm not sure why there isnt a sign on the property with a proposed development plan. Many people living in and around this development still are unaware of what is going on. It feels like Langford and DB Services are trying to slip this proposed development by the community without having to do the full public meetings. Am I correct?

DB Services is the builder presenting this ludicrous development. They already have a development on Claude Road that is unoccupied because of construction errors. Do you honestly think this project will be any different. Fairway Avenue is an area of tall trees, small well maintained homes bordering on the Royal Colwood Golf Course. This beautiful area will be ruined by this monstrosity. There is a group home right next door to where this construction will take place. This quiet street is where the staff wheel their wheelchairs as well as the residents of the Priory which is also on Goldstream. I have lived in my condo for 19 years and the changes that have taken place on Goldstream Avenue have been gradual and for the most part look to fit in to the neighbourhood. 2-11 story buildings do not fit in this neighbourhood.

From: To: Langford Administration General Mailbox; Council; Langford Planning General Mailbox Subject: Oppose multi-story commercial zoning change at 647 Goldstream Avenue Date: Wednesday, August 5, 2020 9:41:51 AM To whom it may concern, we have close family and friends residing on Goldstream Avenue in Langford and wish to express our concerns about the impact of the proposed multi-story commercial zoning change at 647 Goldstream Avenue. We strongly feel this change will negatively impact the safety and well-being of our family and friends and others living in the area, which is already significantly congested. We do not support this proposed change and request that zoning requirements stay within the existing roof line of four stories. Given the existing congestion along the corridor currently, we believe the proposed development poses a serious threat to the safety and well-being of residents, pedestrians and other others along this route, and that the quality of life of those living in the 600 block of Goldstream and beyond will be negatively impacted. We request that you do not allow this zoning change to take place. Sincerely, Page 382 of 572 Page 382 of 572 Page 382 of 572 Page 382 of 572 Page 382 of 572

Good morning Langford City Hall, I’m writing you very concerned about the proposed 11 levels condo currently proposed for 641 Goldstream Avenue. We, live across the street on Goldstream from proposed site. As concerned citizens, we ask for mitigation to the proposed plans. We are concerns about:
increased traffic in the neighborhood: It is very difficult even now to exit the

Page 387
Granderson Road regardless of the direction we are intending to go. 2. parking along the 500 and 600 block of Golstream Avenue and the nearby streets 3. lack of green space in the area. Just a couple of examples: there are very few patches of green space available for people to walk their dogs and as a result the green space in front of our complex smells very badly of dog excrements year around. People congregating on the boulevard in front of Pacifica Housing Bldg. 1 to smoke cigarettes and marijuana makes the passage by on that stretch of street very uncomfortable and the smell is just awful. There are of cigarette buts everywhere on the ground and the folding chairs left look horrible 4. Building height which does not integrate with the existing surrounding architecture As citizens, we ask for mitigation to these plans. We are opposed to the design for the property at 641 Goldstream as it is currently proposed. I am also opposed to the waving of all Public Hearings regarding this property. We want to be informed of how I can make my voice heard during a “Public Hearing” (via Zoom) that is discussing this project which will have a HUGE impact on my neighborhood Page 387 of 572 Page 387 of 572 Page 387 of 572 Page 387 of 572 Page 387 of 572

Goldstream is already unable to hold the traffic that pours onto it daily. Often I wait for 20 to 50 cars to be able to turn in or out on/of Granderson Rd. Secondly, if it will be a rental property, the owner does not allow smoking on their properties, eg Pacifica Housing, where the inhabitants are gathering out on Goldstream Ave sidewalk (many wearing pajamas), smoking tobacco or marijuana, chatting- no masks, using ugly tin cans and plastic containers spread along the sidewalk. (If that continues with the new building the city Council might consider changing the street name to “UglyStream”) There are no doctors/medical facilities in the neighborhood that can handle the existing population, no social services for young or old, not enough parking spots, and Page 388 of 572 Page 388 of 572 Page 388 of 572 Page 388 of 572 Page 388 of 572

there is no appropriate park for young children to play. The playground in the Veterans Memorial park is often disturbed by events or older crowds. My plea to you, the City Council and to our Mayor:
- PLEASE request from the developer to hold this proposed development to the 4- Storey roofline that exists on the 600 block of Goldstream.

He feels, as I do, that 5 or 6 stories would be more in keeping with what has been built in the area. I realize that it would be more profitable for the developer to include more units but it would also add to the significant congestion that we have experienced since we moved in here in 2004. Our 7 townhomes plus duplex, 615 to 627 Goldstream, were developed in 1991 and there has been constant construction in the area since then. It has been rumored constantly since we moved in that we would be bought out by developers which is why our newest owner purchased here! However, as I pointed out to her, we have never had a developer knock on our doors asking if we would sell! It may very well happen one day but I’m not holding my breath on that happening although it is in a great location and a very nice property. I once enquired at City hall if any developer had shown any interest in our property for development and was told no, there hadn’t. Some of our owners may very well be willing to sell but until there is a developer willing to make a proposal we won’t know how many. Also, any developer would quite likely want to purchase the single family homes Page 393 of 572 Page 393 of 572 Page 393 of 572 Page 393 of 572 Page 393 of 572
Page 394
behind us and could possibly depend on their willingness to sell. After all, as I’m sure you realize, if the offer isn’t enough to purchase another home that is desirable, why would anyone sell? I am reasonably certain that it would be but it depends on each owners expectations. Is it true as I have been told, that it is the same developer that constructed the building that sits empty on Claude Road next to the Thrift Store? A reply would be appreciated. , owner, .

I attended and opposed the original public consultation for the proposed 6 story building. The traffic on Goldstream is already at capacity and with the rate you are building condos/apartment buildings in the area the traffic will be overwhelming. I want to share with you one of the main reason I love this block and why I love living here. I love the mix of an existing residential street mixed in with the lower buildings that do not exceed 4 stories because many of the existing trees are still higher than the condo buildings which makes me feel like I am still part of the neighbourhood. It is nice to have a quiet street that runs behind as contrast to the busy Goldstream Avenue out front. I am greatly opposed to an 11 story building on this block and hope you reconsider. As I see the large areas of trees being cut for development, I believe the City of Langford could find alternative sites for a building of this size. This small pocket of Langford is beautiful in it’s mix of residential and smaller condo buildings and I believe that is a huge part of what makes it a desirable place to live.

I have been owned and lived in a condo on since 2011 and am generally pleased with the development of Langford. I have NO ISSUE with four story condo buildings being built in that lot. I am not opposed to development in general. What I am concerned about is the density that eleven stories would bring to our neighbourhood, which is not prepared for that kind of population increase. Fairway Ave is a single lane road. There are many four story buildings in this part of Langford and I hope you stick with that for this proposed development.

Six stories was alarming. Eleven storey is outrageous. Putting an 11-storey building in the midst of homes and other residential buildings that span from two to four stories, will have terrible impacts on our quality of life. It will tower above everything else, blocking views and light. The transportation infrastructure here on Goldstream is already over-subscribed, and the increase in traffic and demands on parking will make it intolerable to live in this neighbourhood. The proposed development at 641 Goldstream has too high a density for our neighbourhood, and is way too high. It doesn’t fit the scale of the neighbourhood. It will block, and diminish green space and trees that we all depend on for clean air. It is already very challenging at many times in the day to get out of my driveway, and parking is always full, leaving my visitors without a place to park on the street. I am very concerned about the increased traffic and parking issues that such a building would create, especially compounded with the new apartment building on the other side of my property and another currently under construction behind it. I have a son who rides his bike to school, and the traffic congestion makes this trip more dangerous. The height of this development needs to be reduced, and other mitigation measures in the development plans put in place to address the remaining issues.

As a long-time resident and taxpaying citizen of Langford, I insist on opportunities for meaningful consultation for those affected by the project throughout the process with City Hall of rezoning the property at 641 Goldstream Ave. Open access to the City Council meetings when this proposal is discussed at every stage is required. It has always been the case, before the COVID-19 pandemic, that City Council meetings are open to the public, and we must continue to have this access as part of our right to be informed citizens within a democratic system. Thank you for your urgent attention to this important issue. Langford, B.C. Page 402 of 572 Page 402 of 572 Page 402 of 572 Page 402 of 572 Page 402 of 572

Why is this firm, Design Build Services, whose last 11-story building currently sits vacant due to the eviction of all tenants because of safety issues, even being considered for another building permit? Why have the residents not been informed while this monstrosity of a proposed 11-story development which would dwarf any other nearby building has been on the drawing board? Especially when our neighbourhood showed up in mass, with signed petitions and individual testimony opposing a 6-story building when this property was in the preliminary Committee meeting? I am also appalled that Langford has taken the step of Waiving Public Hearings due to the Covid-19, but has not put in place any conclusive way for the public to provide input to developments that will affect their homes, their property values and their enjoyment of lifestyle. When will we, the residents of Fairway and Goldstream Ave., be able to view these proposed plans that Design Build Services have already submitted to the Zoning Department? It feels to me like Developers have been given a green light, while the taxpaying citizens of Langford are being kept in the dark. This is simply not a fair process. Although I have not yet been able to see the proposed plans, I am requesting the following mitigation to these plans:
- That there be adequate and ample green space provided in and around this building complex, so that the apartment residents have enough space to be outside (and not be forced to congregate in the street as is happening now on Goldstream Ave. with the newly constructed low-income housing building).
- We ask that the buildings be set back from the street, especially on Fairway Ave. This is a neighbourhood, we want to see our neighbourhood feeling preserved. Page 404 of 572 Page 404 of 572 Page 404 of 572 Page 404 of 572 Page 404 of 572

enough! I agree that since Langford was previously known as Dogpatch, there has been improvement. It has now become a little Surrey. Huge spikes in crime. I never go out at night anymore. Traffic is backed up on Goldstream & Veterans almost daily. As a pedestrian, drivers ignore the flashing yellow lights at crosswalks & far exceed the speed limit. Both deforestation, air & noise pollutions are very high. Every day when I clean my patio table, it’s black from road dust. The days of sleeping with my windows open are long gone. The construction noise from Solo Airbnb, Pacifica Housing phases one & two have been unbearable for the past four years. The sound of Harleys & other loud mufflers. When I questioned the WS RCMP about that, he said that they measure the decibels of mufflers when at idle. Ridiculous! As for parking, the 51 unit Waverly has three visitor parking. Supposed to have five. Only three parking permits allowed for The Waverly & a two hour maximum parking on Grainger. And now, a possible rezoning proposal by DB Services for a twelve storey building on Fairway Ave? Why are DB Services even allowed to operate considering the status of Danforth? Do any of you hear the hew & cry from residents of Langford regarding high density development? Sure doesn’t sound like it! Are the mayor & all councillors in favor of high density? Not to mention the pleas from long time, elderly residents of Tri-ways MHP. Is anyone listening? Attached are just two articles written in the Goldstream Gazette. https://www.goldstreamgazette.com/news/west-shores-10-worst-intersections-for-crashes-in- 2019/ https://www.goldstreamgazette.com/news/langford-tops-toronto-in-list-of-canadas-most- dangerous-places/ And to think I voted for most of you! Never again, IF you choose to run in the next election. Please restore my faith in the City of Langford & reconsider this possible rezoning application!

LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR building two 12-storey apartment buildings at 647 Goldstream Ave. in Langford, creating more than 200 units of housing
Dear Mayor and Council:
We are writing in favour of this development as we believe it is beneficial for Langford for the following reasons. .
Mixed Commercial/Residential Development is the most efficient urban design – The proposed development by Design Build Services, to build two 12-storey apartment buildings at 647 Goldstream Ave. in Langford, creating more than 200 units of housing will be emulating the best practices of urban design. Empirical evidence has borne out the mixed commercial/residential development with lower floors dedicated to commerce and trade and upper floors dedicated to domiciles provide for vibrant and prosperous communities. The next most efficacious design concept is followed by adjacent commercial-residential corridors, such as is emerging along Goldstream Avenue. This type of design was very common in many parts of Europe and Asia and the eastern Canada and the United States. Queen Street in Toronto is only one example of such design dating back over 100 years. Moreover, such development has experienced exponential growth once again in many cities worldwide.
The proposed design fits this model of development very well:
Consistent with Rail proposal to Victoria – The proximity of this redevelopment to the Langford Station is mutually advantageous to both proposals and provide further densification for the route. As per the attached, there is much empirical evidence that people will not walk beyond a certain threshold to a mass transit station. The attachment is based on Gravity Modelling/Separation Factors from the Institute of Transportation Engineers dating back to the 1970s.
It facilitates greater densification, and helps to curtail urban sprawl. The proposed medium to high density structures have the following benefits: o Reduced Fuel Consumption – This would be achieved by concentrating a greater number of people in one area rather than promoting a greater number of origin trips that would be case if the population is dispersed further from the main shopping and commercial areas in Langford and also Victoria. Page 416 of 572 Page 416 of 572 Page 416 of 572 Page 416 of 572 Page 416 of 572
Page 417
o Reduced Emissions- The reduced emissions are a function of the reduced number of trips under a higher density scenario vis-a-vis the dispersed (urban sprawl) scenario and also the rail option I mentioned above. o Aesthetic benefits of more green space – The reduced footprint on the site would facilitate greater green space for this development than for instance a series of smaller structures. The fewer number of origin and destination trips would also reduce future rehabilitation and maintenance costs on the existing Langford City road network.
The proposal fits in with the recommended suggestions of Dr. Avi Friedman (McGill University) about walkable communities and other principles of Urban Planning. Urban planners and economists are united in the basic principle that the most efficient urban design is the higher density compact walkable communities’ model, where people can choose to use their vehicles rather than be forced to do to conduct their daily activities. Moreover, this model also saves individuals money through reduced operating costs.
The City of Langford has been very successful in accommodating the demand among Millennials towards higher density compact communities. There is much empirical evidence that boomers and the millennial generation, the two largest demographic groups in North America are converging in a time-of-life moment where what they want is walkable, compact, higher density, service-rich, transit-oriented communities and destinations.
Finally, as Langford is actively wooing Amazon and other such technological and warehousing companies to Langford with the potential of over 50,000 highly skilled (professional) people, it behooves us to consider transportation solutions around mass transit. Moreover, such individuals have a higher propensity (most likely Millennials) to use mass transit. We should not lose this opportunity to accommodate the burgeoning demand.
Once again, I would like to congratulate council on your very progressive yet cautious perspective on development and growth. I believe that since Langford has become such an attractive place to live, due in large part to Council’s foresight.
Sincerely,
Victoria, BC.

SEPARATION FACTORS AND TRANSPORTATION PLANNING FOR GREATER VICTORIA
The attached excerpt from the “Introduction to Transportation Engineering”1 explains how trip distribution models and separation models apply to increasing the efficacy of proposed solutions to transportation problems facing the Greater Victoria area, through urban planning and multi-modal systems. I chose this earlier version dating back to 1978 to illustrate that the precept of URBAN DENSIFICATION was known as a key element of effective transportation systems dating back over 30 years ago. As highlighted (A) in the excerpt and the formulae indicate: The model distributes a proportion of the trips generated in any zone to all other zones on the basis of their relative attractiveness and in an inverse relationship to the separations between the zones. Travel time is the most descriptive measure of separation, but cash outlays for tolls, parking and transit fares, and the inconvenience of walking and waiting can be included. This explains why San Francisco back in 1978 and more recently Portland and many cities worldwide have moved towards density and the creation of walkable compact communities. The intent is to minimize the negative influence of the separation coefficient. More specifically, walking is inconvenient and very time-consuming if it is beyond a threshold, as many people will not walk 4 miles with inclement weather. The same principle applies to LRT or Commuter Rail stations, people have a limit as to how far they will walk, cycle, or drive to a station and thus we need to keep this in mind as we move towards implementing rails systems. Empirical evidence has shown that people (commuters) will walk on average 500m to 1 kilometer to a transit station, cycle a couple more kilometers, but drive great distances. When we refer to higher density we are thus referring to medium density so as to make mass transit viable. High-rises are automatically associated with urban densification which in most cases is a fallacy. We need urban development that is mixed commercial and residential. Commercial on bottom and 3 to 5 floors above of residential as is the norm in many European and Asian cities is just one development permutation. The other interesting aspect of examining the separation coefficient is that its influence can be minimized through offering alternative modes of transportation. People with alternative trip modes will have choices in cases where one mode is inconvenient or blocked on any given day. This will increase productivity and mobility for health and education appointments as there are
1 Everett C Carter and Wolfgang S Homburger, Institute of Transportation Engineers, “Introduction to Transportation Engineering”, Arlington, Virginia, 1978 Page 418 of 572 Page 418 of 572 Page 418 of 572 Page 418 of 572 Page 418 of 572
Page 419
fewer missed trips or avoided. It all comes down to offering choices that are more available if we have population clustered around transportation corridors. Once again I am referencing a Gravity Model from 1978 to show that the critical elements date back to 70s, of which the separation factor is paramount. Since then many variables have come and gone, but the separation factor has remained. Highlighted (B) also shows that through urban planning we can create new separation factors when they indicate: The assumption is made that the F factors [separation factors in the formula] change with time only in response to changes in the transportation network (new separation values). More specifically, with the advances in telecommunication since 1970s there are alternatives to cars that did not exist in the 1970s such as: smartphones, emails, faxes, video-conferencing and so on. In other words, when presented with tolls or higher parking charges, people have new separation factors in revised multi-modal transportation systems (networks) in respective cities across the world. I should note that these principles are still being advocated by transportation economists and engineers almost 50 years later as per a recent guidebook promoted by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)2. In fact, in sections 12.4.3 Walkability. 12-12 and 12.4.4 Greater Access for Transit-Dependent Populations there are recommendations that transportation planning begin to embrace compact walkable communities, which is the basis of most of efficient transportation systems. What this means is that through density not only can we reduce the separation factor, we can change and manipulate it by creating new networks through multi-modal transportation choices. The implications of this premise are significant as they affect our health, mobility, educational opportunities, and productivity. Recommendations: We need to encourage and support multi-modal transportation systems that allow for efficient and seamless transfer among the modes. Under this approach people will be able to choose the most efficient mode of transportation on any given day (automobile, walking, cycling, and transit). Each mode is important.

The point to remember is as populations grow, congested facilities are a productivity drain. Without offering alternatives, congested facilities will affect GDP. It’s all about choices to create mobility and eliminate impediments to the movement of people and goods and services. We need to begin to understand that traffic congestion is not just an environmental issue, it is more importantly a huge impediment to productivity.

From: Matthew Baldwin To: Cc: Robert Dykstra; Suzette Chapman Subject: 647 Goldstream Avenue Date: Thursday, December 31, 2020 10:32:12 AM Good morning , Thank you for your email of yesterday afternoon. I would be happy to answer your questions. Council's Planning Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee is chaired by Councillor Denise Blackwell, and Councillor Roger Wade serves as vice chair. They are assisted by seven volunteer members of the public, selected by Council, who serve a four year term. The volunteer representatives are: Cheryl Brown, Art Creuzot, Malcolm Hall, Steve Harvey, David Horner, Jenn Raappana and Kent Sheldrake. The City of Langford, through its Procedures Bylaw, provides written notice by mail to property owners and tenants within 100m of the boundary of a property being considered for rezoning. As a resident of Fairway Avenue, you will receive this notice approximately ten days prior to the Committee meeting. This notification procedure is the same as required by Provincial Legislation for a Public Hearing. There is no structure for, nor is there ever compensation paid if the zoning of one property affects the value, use or enjoyment of another property. The Local Government Act allows any municipal Council to rezone land as they see fit, provided that they convene a formal Public Hearing to hear from citizens whose interest in land may be affected. That being said, the overwhelming evidence suggests that new development increases, rather than decreases surrounding property values. You can speak to our Fire Chief about fire protection. When the Planning Department receives an application for rezoning we inform the Fire Department, and seek their input. If there are extenuating circumstances that would preclude the Fire Department from protecting the public and buildings as a result of zoning and development, then we would look for mitigation strategies and if the circumstances cannot be mitigated, both the Planning Department and the Fire Department would recommend to Council that the development not proceed. For the proposed development at 647 Goldstream Avenue we foresee no issues relating to fire protection. The City has similar buildings that we are able to protect. As with my answer re compensation for reduced property values, there is no compensation for loss of sunlight or views. Again, Council must consider the impact of this development on individuals at the time of Public Hearing. The Official Community Plan (OCP) is a living document that grows and changes as the Page 425 of 572 Page 425 of 572 Page 425 of 572 Page 425 of 572 Page 425 of 572
Page 426
community grows and changes. Council can, and has, amended the OCP from time to time to reflect the direction in which the community has developed, and set goals and objectives for how the community would like to see Langford develop into the future. Through the regulations in the Local Government Act, Council must also convene a Public Hearing before amending the OCP. The OCP is also the underlying plan to which zoning must adhere. It is not allowable, under the Provincial Legislation to rezone land to a zoning designation that is not consistent with the Official Community Plan. Again, there is no compensation if the zoning and OCP bylaws have been duly and correctly adopted by Council. In the case of the property at 647 Goldstream, the applicant is seeking mult-storey multi-family residential zoning mixed with commercial zoning on the ground floor. This is consistent with the Official Community Plan, and has been consistent with the OCP for at least 12 years. I'm not sure that there was an Official Community Plan for Langford prior to incorporation in 1993, and your property might have preceded any form of land use and development controls if it was developed prior to 1967. It is a moot point, though, as the pattern of development in any community cannot remain static and the purpose of the OCP is to provide a vision of how and where the community can and should grow. I trust that this answers your questions. Should you have any additional questions, comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me here.

Sent: January 5, 2021 12:34 AM To: Mayor Young mayor@langford.ca Subject: 647 Goldstream Dear Mayor Young,
I’m writing because the proposed development being planned for the 5 amalgamated lots at 647 Goldstream Ave is too large.
I live at and they’ve just finished putting two large condos up next door to me this was bad enough and they’re only 4 stories high. This 12 story development is horrible...it should be 4 stories like the rest of the neighbourhood. These are single family homes...you can’t just stick a massive development like this in there. I have a heck of a time trying to get onto Goldstream now out of the driveway without adding this to it.
I’ve always voted for you but it seems development is too much too soon lately, every time you turn around there’s another big box condo going up. I used to love driving down Goldstream and look at Skirt mountain with all the trees, especially when it snows. Now it just makes me want to cry when I look at it all cut down. And it’s all clear cut behind Costco...... I went for a drive one day out by west hills and ended up on this road where it was a park on one side and the other side was all cleared for for more westhills homes. There used to be a bear that lived there...who knows where it’s ended up. When is development going to slow down?! It’s not like we have to keep bldg out here non stop, there has to be some kind of limit. It doesn’t matter what time of night it is I hear traffic out my Page 428 of 572 Page 428 of 572 Page 428 of 572 Page 428 of 572 Page 428 of 572
Page 429
window....I never used to....we’re losing too many trees for buffers against noise. Langford definitely looks better than years ago but the last couple of years it just looks like non stop big condo bldgs are going in...and they all look the same...big boxes 🙁
Goldstream is already unable to hold the traffic that pours onto it daily. Fairway Ave. is a narrow street with no sidewalks and no room for cars to safely pass.
Please hold this proposed development to the 4-Storey roofline that exists on the 600 block of Goldstream. Plan exits and entrances on both Goldstream and Fairway Avenues.

From: Matthew Baldwin To: Cc: Robert Dykstra; Julie Coneybeer; Suzette Chapman Subject: RE: Detailing Concerns about proposed development at 647 Goldstream Date: Tuesday, January 5, 2021 10:38:37 AM Good morning , Councillor Szpak has forwarded to me your email of yesterday afternoon and has asked me to respond to your questions. To answer your foremost concern, we schedule items for Planning and Zoning Committee agendas when they are ready to be considered by the Committee. The agenda is then approved by the Chair of the Committee. This item was never scheduled for February, except perhaps in the sense of a projected date. Nothing, therefore, has been moved up, or “rushed”. With respect to your concern that no one was informed about this application, we have sent notice of this item being on the next Planning Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee agenda. This is the same level of information that we provide to every application for rezoning. You have been in contact with our Senior Planner, Robert Dykstra in regards to this project, so I would assume you are perhaps better informed about this proposal than most. There are no “progress reports”, as you put it, to provide you as this application has not progressed to the Planning Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee. The Planning Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee meeting is the opportunity that you have to review the applicant’s proposal and present evidence (rather than anecdote) to support your claim that “there is no infrastructure to support the enormous amount of traffic that this development would create”. Please be advised that the applicant will likely present evidence prepared by a qualified traffic engineer in support of their proposal. The pros and cons of access and egress, issues relating to pedestrian safety and traffic will likely also be highlighted by the applicant’s traffic engineer. Please don’t be surprised if your perceptions in regards to traffic and road safety are not aligned with the findings of the applicant’s traffic engineer. You can also take the opportunity to discuss things like building height and density with the Committee, but please keep these in mind: The applicant’s proposal is consistent with the City’s Official Community Plan, and that is the way that cities move forward. If cities were to reject new development proposals solely because they are not in keeping with the standards set by existing development, we would all still be living in caves or mud huts.

I will copy your letter of January 4th to our files, and a copy will be provided to both the Planning and Zoning Committee and Council. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me here. Sincerely, On Jan 4, 2021, at 12:46 PM, wrote: Hello Lillian, Happy New Year! I thank you for inviting me to share my concerns with you about the proposed development at 647 Goldstream Ave. The following letter will cover my overview and will include photos & illustrations. First and foremost, I am most concerned that our Planning & Zoning meeting was suddenly moved up by a whole month to January 11th, (which was done right before Christmas break) to a new time slot that had not been previously scheduled as a planned meeting date. What is the rush? We want to be seen as well as heard and would like to have the opportunity to be able to interact with Planning & Zoning through a video live-streaming meeting. Our tight and friendly neighbourhood of Fairway Ave. has been against this project since the first proposal of a 6 story development was put forth on May 27, 2019. Every single person on this block signed a petition against it because it was too large for our neighbourhood. With the domino effect, some neighbours sold their properties to the developer, Greater Victoria Property Group, and they acquired 5 city lots. That was when the monstrosity of two 12 story apartment Page 434 of 572 Page 434 of 572 Page 434 of 572 Page 434 of 572 Page 434 of 572
Page 435
towers was planned. No one was informed. It was only because I kept calling into Planning and Zoning for progress reports that I was able to track to process of this gigantic proposed development. This is still the case, as Langford has not volunteered any information and will not show us plans, even though we beg to see them. Thank you so much for your support of video live-streaming of Council Meetings! That is something we have been begging for too. We want to present our concerns to council visually as we would have been able to do before COVID. Fairway Avenue is a quiet narrow street of families in single family homes, that are predominantly single story. We are concerned the influx of crime that a development of this size would impose upon us. We are concerned about the lack of green-space. There are 5 large hundred-plus year old trees that would be mowed down to build these structures. The developer finally showed us some plans in August (Over 50 people turned out in the rain to hear what they had to say). Our concerns are that there is no infrastructure to support the enormous amount of traffic that this development would create. Fairway Ave. is narrow, without sidewalks, and there is barely room for 2 small cars to pass each other. Our street is always full of pedestrians on their way to Veteran’s Memorial Park, families with children, people walking dogs, older people from the Priory who are being pushed in wheelchairs to get fresh air. Where will these people go if our narrow laneway is filled with cars from this proposed development? Pedestrian safety is a huge issue for us. Parking and traffic are other huge issues. Goldstream is already over-crowed many times of the day. There is no room for parking on our narrow street. Where would all these tenants go to be outside without adequate green space planned? Other Langford neighbourhoods, where apartment high rise buildings have been built, have told us how their front lawns have become, by default, the green space for the neighbouring apartment dwellers, who walk their dogs on these lawns, often leaving behind dog feces, or full doggie bags. Page 435 of 572 Page 435 of 572 Page 435 of 572 Page 435 of 572 Page 435 of 572
Page 436
We are concerned that currently no entrance/exit is planned for these huge buildings onto Goldstream Ave. If all the cars pour from this proposed development onto Fairway alone, how could this be considered safe? Our narrow street is too small and narrow for the amount of traffic that it would produce. The proposed development is too out of scale with the existing roofline of our neighbourhood. Four story structures are the tallest buildings int this 600 block of Goldstream Ave. We want to share these concerns with council in a more interactive way, where we can show them our photos and have a dialogue. I thank you sincerely for asking me that I put my concerns in this letter for you. best regards, photos below: crane blocking our street delivering lumber to proposed development site. notice how the legs of the crane extent far beyond the centre of the street. <IMG_7344.jpeg> demonstration of how narrow the street is, and how two small cars barely have room to pass each other <IMG_7515.jpeg> diagram of the 5 amalgamated lots which make up the proposed site for the 647 Goldstream Ave development. <IMG_0309.jpeg> Illustration that was shown to us by the developers in August, superimposed on our existing streetscape Page 436 of 572 Page 436 of 572 Page 436 of 572 Page 436 of 572 Page 436 of 572

My husband and I have lived at for the past and feel our ablity to continue to live here has already been compromised too much. We are now going to have a six story building with sixteen balconies overlooking and losing . Now you want us to accept a two foot setback , where does it end? As long time Langford residence we’re hoping you can understand how upsetting this is for us and hope you will not allow the developer to change the setback.

Staff Report to Council
Date:
January 18, 2021 Department:
Administration Subject:
Stadium Naming Rights
Background
As part of the Stadium Use Agreement between the City of Langford and Pacific FC, the City granted Pacific FC the rights to name the stadium, subject to City approval. As part of the Stadium Use Agreement, it was also agreed that Pacific FC would receive 85% of the revenue generated from the sale of the naming rights, while the City would receive the remaining 15%.
The City also confirmed with Westhills that they were no longer interested in maintaining stadium naming rights, once a new interested party was found.
Commentary
In early fall of 2020, Pacific FC received serious interest from Starlight Investments about the naming rights for the stadium. (Council may recall that Starlight Investments, a large REIT out of Toronto, has recently purchased the Kramer property, as well as the Ridley lands on Meaford Road).
Since then, staff, Pacific FC, and Starlight Investments have discussed business terms and drafted the attached legal agreement for consideration by Council.
Key terms of the agreement are as follows:
• Stadium to be called Starlight Stadium; • Five year term with the option for two five-year renewals; • Annual naming right fees ranging from $75,000 to $155,000, depending on the year; • Starlight Investments to receive one marquee sign (powered from dusk to 10:00 p.m.), one sign behind each goal, 10 stadium flags, one 40' roadside banner on the black fence next to the stadium, and municipal directional signage; Page 445 of 572 Page 445 of 572 Page 445 of 572 Page 445 of 572 Page 445 of 572
Page 446
• The City has the ability to approve the design of all signage, with the exception of the marque sign which is attached to this report/agreement; • Starlight Investments to be responsible for all design and branding (see attached for their logo); and • City and Pacific FC to be responsible for all production, installation and maintenance of signage, with the cost of this being split as follows: Pacific FC to cover 85% of the costs and the City to cover 15% of the costs.
Financial Implications
The City will receive 15% of the annual naming rights fee, less any costs associated with installing and maintaining the signage.
Legal Implications
The attached agreement has been drafted by City lawyers.
Options
That Council:
- Authorize the mayor and chief administrative officer to execute the naming rights agreement with Pacific FC and Starlight Investments as presented;
Or
- Request changes to the draft naming rights agreement with Pacific RC and Starlight Investments;
Or
- Not approve the naming rights agreement at this time.

Name of New Connector Road
Background
The City is constructing a new connector road between the 3300 block of Luxton Road (south of Marwood Road/north of Englewood Road) and Highway No. 14 Sooke Road.
Naming of new roads is typically completed at the staff level unless the new proposed name is the name of a person or family. The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval for a local historical family name for the new connector road.
Commentary
The Chidlow family are long-time Langford residents. Their family settled in South Langford where Mr. Frederick and Mrs. Kay Chidlow resided at 3369 Luxton Road from 1946 until Frederick’s death in 2016. Mr. and Mrs. Chidlow farmed much of the land in the Finney and Lippincott areas including the land located at 2869 Sooke Road (the large triangle of land shown on the map below). They were instrumental in developing the Luxton Fairgrounds into what it became.
The Chidlows have five children.
Four of the children and their families still reside in South Langford. One daughter resides with her family on the Luxton Fairground lands and has been the caretaker of that land for the past 50 years.
A brother to Frederick three of their children also reside in South Langford.
Members of the extended family continue to reside in Langford and continue to contribute to the fabric of the community.

Grant Application – Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program ARDM Stream
Background
The Provincial and Federal governments recently announced grant programs to stimulate the economy and respond to the ongoing COVID19 pandemic.
The purpose of this report is to seek Council agreement for submission of a flood protection grant under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program – Adaptation, Resilience & Disaster Mitigation Stream.
Commentary
The Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program - Adaptation, Resilience and Disaster Mitigation (ARDM) Stream focuses solely on structural and natural infrastructure projects to address impacts of flooding and flood-related hazards and is administered by Emergency Management BC. The application window for the ARDM program is December 1, 2020 to January 11, 2021. See https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/safety/emergency-preparedness-response-recovery/emergency- management-bc/bc-disaster-mitigation/flood-mitigation-funding-programs/ardmp for more details.
The application window was very short, just 6 weeks over the Christmas holidays, however the funds are 100% funding, 80% from the federal government and 20% from the provincial government. Due to the very short submission window the grant was submitted the week of January 4th, 2021 while a Council motion supporting the grant is required to follow up that submission.

Staff applied for the South Langford Flood Protection Works 2021 project. This project address flood protection in South Langford in the Firehall/Bilston and Pritchard Creeks combined catchment area. The project includes:
Five (5) culvert upgrades/modifications along Latoria Road in the Pritchard Creek drainage area. These culverts were slated for installation in 2020 but due to COVID19 pandemic supply chain issues could not be completed in 2020. The culvert improvements are part of the Stormwater DCC program, however with the grant offering 100% funding staff have included them in the application. The culverts are all downgradient of the Desmond Drive Stormwater Pond that was rehabilitated last year. That pond is in turn downgradient from residents on Triangle Mountain in both Langford and Colwood. Pritchard Creek flows west along Latoria Road and then turns south along Happy Valley Road to meet up with Bilston Creek near Dicker Road and continues as Bilston Creek south into Metchosin; and
Rehabilitation of the drainage ditch banks on Luxton Road from Marwood Road south to the South Vancouver Island Ranger Station. In December 2020, a bank failure occurred in the drainage ditch just north of the South Vancouver Island Ranger station. The City retained a geotechnical engineer to assess the bank failure. An emergency temporary repair was undertaken to clear debris from the drainage ditch that included a large tree that had become uprooted at this same area and had knocked power lines down and blocked the road for most of that same day. Upon further assessment the geotechnical engineer noted that the banks along much of the Luxton Road drainage ditch are over steepened and should be rehabilitated to prevent future bank failures and provide flood resilience and reliability.
Financial Implications
If the grant is not received, works must proceed in any case for flood protection resilience and reliability purposes.
The culvert modifications and improvements would be funded through Stormwater DCCs. The City currently has approximately $600,000 in Stormwater DCCs available for use if the grant is not received.
The Luxton Road drainage ditch remediation would be funded through general tax dollars because it is not part of a DCC program. Two options exist for this: just rehabilitate the six noted locations for a cost of approximately $250K or rehabilitate the entire ditch length since it is all oversteepened at a cost of $800K. For the grant application we have assumed the entire length of ditch. If the grant is not received, we would undertake what repairs could be afforded in 2021 and stage the rest, however it should be noted that there is some risk to staging it, the bank could fail randomly at random locations.
The cost of the entire South Langford Flood Protection Works 2021 is $2,431,000.00

Parks & Recreation Subject: Canada-British Columbia, Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program: COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream Grant
Background
The COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream grant will fund capital infrastructure projects in communities that increase the safety and resiliency of British Columbian’s, as well as improve active transportation in communities. Active transportation includes parks, trails, foot bridges, bike lanes and multi-use paths. The intake is now open and after a review of options, staff are recommending that the City submit an application to replace the boardwalks at the south end of Ed Nixon Trail and Leigh Place, as well as the construction of a multi-use pathway along Goldstream Avenue. These two projects are both located on the same continual multi use path. The submission period for this intake expires on January 27, 2021.
Boardwalks: In October 2020, staff put out a Request for Proposals for the structural assessment of existing boardwalks located in multiple areas through the City. Many of these boardwalks were starting to show signs of aging (they are estimated to be approximately 20 years old) and portions of the Ed Nixon Trail are susceptible to flooding. The purpose of this assessment was to determine the condition of the boardwalks and present recommendations for their serviceability along with Class D cost estimates for repair and replacement. The consultants found that the boardwalk on the south end of Langford Lake is in very poor condition, with 55% of the timber piles found to be severely decayed (see Schedule A). The consultants recommended the immediate closure of the boardwalk on November 20, 2020 until repairs or replacement can be made. The Leigh Place boardwalk, located adjacent to the Langford Lake Beach Park, also shows signs of timber decay and was recommended to need repairs or replacement in one to three years (see Schedule B).
Multi-use trail – Goldstream Avenue: Goldstream Avenue provides the continuation of the multi use path around Langford Lake and has been proven to be a challenging road for pedestrians with a multi-use path located on only one short section.

Page 499
Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program: COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream Grant
Currently those who are walking around Langford Lake on the Ed Nixon Trail have to stop at Goldstream Avenue and turn back as they cannot connect through to Leigh Place safely. Staff believe this grant is an excellent opportunity to complete the missing link so that cyclists and pedestrians can now travel all the way around Langford Lake on a dedicated pathway.
Figure 1 illustrates the completed Langford Lake Loop Multi Use Path loop.
The purpose of this report is to obtain Council approval to apply for the COVID19 – Resilience Infrastruture Stream Grant.
Commentary
The grant submission will be based on the development of the “Langford Lake Loop”. This involves the replacement of the south boardwalk along Ed Nixon Trail and boardwalk at Leigh Place as well as the construction of a multi-use pathway along Goldstream Avenue.
The replacement of the south boardwalk on the Ed Nixon Trail is essential and time sensitive as it is currently closed to the public for their safety. Staff have also received multiple complaints about both portions of the trail being underwater much of the year. The replacement will allow for the extension of the trail to prevent future flooding.
The construction of a multi-use pathway along Goldstream Avenue from the Ed Nixon Trail to Shelby Place will complete the approximately five kilometre “loop” around Langford Lake. This multi-use path will allow residents and visitors to travel around the whole of Langford Lake, instead of having to turn around at the end of Ed Nixon or walk along the current road with no designated shoulder for pedestrians.
Drawings received for the multi-use pathway along Goldstream Avenue can be found in Schedule C. Staff are waiting on consultants for more detailed drawings with design and pricing which will be submitted with the grant application.
Financial Implications
Staff are proposing to use the Canadian Infrastructure Program: COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream grant to fund the replacement of the southern boardwalk at the Ed Nixon Trail and the boardwalk at Leigh Place as well as the completion of the Goldstream multi-use pathway.
The total Senior Government contributions will cover up to 100% of eligible costs, with the maximum size of projects set at $10 million total costs per project. Projects must be completed by December 31, 2021.
While staff are currently waiting to receive Class C cost estimates from consultants, the grant requires a Council resolution supporting the project as well as committing to pay any associated ineligible costs and cost overruns. The grant will cover a maximum of 100% of eligible costs, and staff will work to ensure that the cost estimate submitted for the grant application includes a contingency component to allow for any overruns.

Langford Lanes Scoring Equipment Transfer of Ownership
Background
The Langford Lanes Bowling Alley opened to the public at City Centre Park in 2012. Planex Development Corp. was responsible for the operations of the bowling alley and a restaurant on site. In 2015, Langford Lanes Bowling Alley Inc. (the Operator) took over operations and maintenance of both the bowling alley and the restaurant as assigned by court order. Langford Lanes Bowling Alley Inc. is under the same ownership as Performance Plus Hockey (PPH), who is responsible for the operations and maintenance of the Splash Park, Ice Rink, Westhills Ice Arena, Mini-Golf, Playzone and Eagle Ridge Centre.
By an operating and management agreement dated for reference August 24, 2012 (the “Operating Agreement”), and assigned to the Operator by Court Order dated September 15, 2015, the Operator agreed to operate and maintain the approximately 20,860 square foot bowling center, containing a restaurant and pro shop, within the park known as City Centre Park on behalf of the City (the “Bowling Centre”). The Operating Agreement provides for the transfer of the Bowling Equipment, as defined therein, from the City to the Operator. Under the current agreement the transfer is to take place 11 years after the commencement of the bowling lanes operation.
The existing Bowling Equipment is in need of replacement and the Operator wishes to have the Bowling Equipment transferred to them earlier than provided for in the Operating Agreement to allow them to replace the current equipment to ensure continued and enhanced customer experience. As such, the Operator and the City wish to modify the Operating Agreement. It should be noted that the quoted cost for the replacement and upgrade that the operator is wishing to do is approximately $230,000.
Financial Implications The City currently owns the bowling equipment, thus, if a major failure were to happen between now and the time that the equipment were to transfer as per the operating agreement the City would be responsible for the repair or replacement of the equipment. As per the operating agreement, the City was reimbursed for the full cost of the equipment from the operator. As the current owner of the Page 509 of 572 Page 509 of 572 Page 509 of 572 Page 509 of 572 Page 509 of 572
Page 510
equipment the City does show the bowling equipment as an asset on the City’s Financial Statements and the book value of the asset as at the end of 2020 is approximately $145,000. The main reason for this remaining book value is simply that the amortization period for the asset was tied to the timing of the current agreement. It’s worth noting that should the City transfer the equipment to the operator as per this report we will show a “loss on disposal of assets” on our financial statements but it is also worth noting that as mentioned above, the City has already been reimbursed in full for the cash outlay for the asset and this “loss” is simply on paper on the financial statements and does not have an affect on our financial plan/budget.
Legal Implications
The City and the Operator will need to execute the Operating and Management Agreement Modification Agreement as attached to this report as a draft.
Options
- That Council approve the transfer of the bowling equipment at Langford Lanes from the City to the Operator, Langford Lanes Bowling Alley Inc.;
AND
- That Council authorize the Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer to execute the Operating and Management Agreement Modification Agreement between the City of Langford and Langford Lanes Bowling Alley Inc.
OR
- That the City do nothing at this time with regard to the transfer of the ownership of the bowling equipment at Langford Lanes.

Staff sent a request for proposals to the West Shore Developers Associations, the Victoria Residential Builders Association, as well as known local developers in the Langford directory; an ad notifying the public of the availability of the lot for purchase was also published in the local newspaper in two consecutive weeks, as per the requirements of the Community Charter.

Page 514
The request for proposal asked the applicant to specify an offered purchase price for the Land as well as a proposal to rezone and develop the property. On the closing date staff only received one offer to purchase and rezone this property. The offer was from Nextview Construction Inc. with a purchase price of $100,000.00 and a rezoning proposal to allow for the construction of one single-family home with a secondary suite.
This lot requires extensive regrading, blasting and slope stability measures to create a suitable building envelope. This may be the reason staff only received the one offer, which is relatively low compared to current local lot prices of similar sizes.
Longspur Drive is primarily comprised of single-family homes, so one additional single-family home should not substantially change the existing neighborhood.
Financial Implications The City will receive the proceeds of the disposition and may use them as they see fit. The Purchaser is required to pay the applicable Land Use Fees, Development Cost Charges and Amenity Fees, which are payable at building permit issue.
Legal Implications The City can dispose of Lands received as an amenity when the operational needs of the City have changed. The Lands must be disposed in accordance with the requirements of the Community Charter and Local Government Act. Notification was provided to the public in accordance with theses Acts and Council policy.
Options Option 1:
a) That Council approve the disposition and direct staff to enter into a purchase and sale agreement with Nextview Construction Inc. for the sale of 2104 Longspur, Lot A, Section 3, Range 3, West Highland District, Plan EPP104528; AND b) Direct Staff to bring forward an application to rezone the property to allow for a single-family home with a secondary suite on this lot; OR
Option 2:
Take no action at this time with respect to this site.

Parks & Recreation Subject:
Extension of Food and Beverage Service at City Centre Park
Background
The Langford Lanes Bowling Alley opened to the public at City Centre Park in 2012. Planex Development Corp. was responsible for the operations of the bowling alley and a restaurant on site.
In 2015, Langford Lanes Bowling Alley Inc. took over operations and maintenance of both the bowling alley and the restaurant as assigned by court order. Langford Lanes Bowling Alley Inc. is under the same ownership as Performance Plus Hockey (PPH), who is responsible for the operations and maintenance of the Splash Park, Ice Rink, Westhills Ice Arena, Mini-Golf, Playzone and Eagle Ridge Centre.
During the British Columbia state of emergency declared in or about March 2020, PPH and the City agreed to permit Langford Lanes to extend its existing food and beverage service into portions of the Splash Park/Ice Rink to offset lost revenues resulting from the pandemic.
Commentary
Langford Lanes wishes, and the City and PPH agree, to expand its food and beverage service on an ongoing basis into the Splash Park/Ice Rink.
Staff recommends that the City, PPH and Langford Lanes Inc. enter into a Tripartite Agreement that outlines terms and conditions of this expanded service. This includes that the food and beverage service will only be available within the Splash Park/Ice Rink portion of the service area when the Splash Park/Ice Rink are closed for the season. The hours and dates of operation of the Splash Park/Ice Rink are set out in the operating agreement between the City and PPH.
Staff recommend that the Tripartite Agreement have a term that is no longer than the term of the PPH agreement which expires in 2024.

Page 517
Financial Implications
Langford Lanes will bear all costs of the food and beverage service, including any infrastructure costs, equipment and supplies, additional staffing, additional insurance costs, additional maintenance and janitorial costs. The City has agreed to bear the costs of additional infrastructure that benefits the users of the splash park and ice rink, including speakers and some new seating, to a maximum of $7500.00. The City would also be responsible for any additional unmetered utility usage but would offset this cost through anticipated additional revenues generated from the expanded patio area.
Legal Implications
Langford Lanes will provide evidence of insurance as required in the Bowling Agreement which proves to the satisfaction of the City that the insurance coverage includes activities of Langford Lanes within the service area.
The City will submit an application to amend the existing liquor license for the Langford Lanes existing food and beverage service.
PPH will consent to the occupation of the proposed service area by Langford Lanes provided that this occupation does not interfere with or diminish the public amenity of the Splash Park/Ice Rink.
Options
That Council:
Approves the Tripartite Agreement and that direct that it may be signed by the Mayor and CAO on the terms substantially as presented all though minor amendments may be made prior to signing.
OR
Direct staff to take no action at this time.

Planning Subject: Public Information Session Confirmation – Installation of a Telecommunications Facility on the property located at 3024 Glen Lake Road (Westhills Stadium)
Background In accordance with Council’s Policy on new antenna systems proposed closer than 150 m to residentially zoned properties, Brian Greggs of SitePath Consulting Ltd has applied on behalf of TELUS to allow for the installation of a telecommunications facility located at 3024 Glen Lake Road, the site of Westhills Stadium.
Commentary TELUS intends to construct a telecommunications facility consisting of a 45-meter tall monopole structure. This structure will house their radiocommunications equipment, all being held within a compound located at the base of the tower or in cabinets located nearby. The tower, if constructed, will provide improved wireless service to the surrounding areas and add capacity to a network that is becoming increasingly congested. The proposed location of the monopole is within Westhills Stadium at the north side of the field, in line with the centre field line, along Langford Parkway.
Health Canada has established safety guidelines for the exposure to radio frequency fields in its Safety Code 6 publication “Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz.” While the responsibility for developing Safety Code 6 rests with Health Canada, Industry Canada has adopted this guideline for the purpose of protecting the general public. Current biomedical studies in Canada and in other countries indicate that there is no scientific or medical evidence that a person will experience adverse health effects from exposure to radio frequency fields, provided that the installation abides by Safety Code 6. Compliance with Safety Code 6 is an ongoing obligation, and at any time antenna system operators may be required, as directed by Industry Canada, to demonstrate compliance with Safety Code 6 by (i) providing detailed calculations, and/or (ii) conducting site surveys and, where necessary, by implementing corrective measures. At the request of Industry Canada, wireless service providers must provide detailed compliance information for individual installation within five (5) days of the request. All copies of information related to Safety Code 6, such as site analyses and measurements, must be retained for audit by Industry Canada. Page 526 of 572 Page 526 of 572 Page 526 of 572 Page 526 of 572 Page 526 of 572
Page 527
TELUS confirms that the antenna structures described in this notification package will apply good engineering practices, including structural adequacy during construction. The installation is excluded from environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The facility will be built to the National Building Code as well as the BC Building Code and installation will be in accordance with Transport Canada and NAV Canada requirements.
Industry Canada will permit the installation of the temporary antenna systems after the applicant has carried out public consultation requirements established by the local land use authority. Industry Canada requires a final concurrence from the local land use authority that acknowledges and agrees that local processes and policies have been adhered to.
Council’s policy requires the applicant to send mailouts to neighbours, advertise within the local paper and install signage, among other requirements.
The applicant has complied with the public notification requirements and processes set out in Council’s Policy on New Antenna Systems (POL-0007) and held a Public Information Session on December 7th, 2020. If Council wishes to acknowledge that the applicant has provided notification to the public in accordance to Council’s Policy on New Antenna Systems, they may do so by agreeing to “Option 1” below. Council should be aware that the applicant may be approached for concerns and questions relating to the proposed telecommunications facility, however, a formal dispute resolution process exists to bring about any disputes between the local land use authority and the applicant if a reasonable solution between the parties cannot be realized.
Options
Option 1:
- Acknowledge and agree that SitePath Consulting Ltd on behalf of TELUS has conducted public notification on and has followed the processes in accordance to Council Policy No. POL-0007 for New Antenna Systems at 3024 Glen Lake Road.
OR
Option 2:
- Require the applicant to revisit Council’s Policy No. POL-0007 on New Antenna Systems.
AND/OR
- Direct Staff to provide a written request asking for intervention regarding reasonable concern.

Dear Mayor, I am pleased to inform you that the next census will take place in May 2021. I am writing today to seek your support to increase awareness of the census among residents of your community. For over a century, Canadians have relied on census data to tell them about how their country is changing and what matters to them. We all depend on key socioeconomic trends and census analysis to make important decisions that have a direct impact on our families, neighbourhoods and businesses. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Statistics Canada has adapted to ensure that the 2021 Census is conducted throughout the country in the best possible way, using a safe and secure approach. Statistics Canada will be hiring approximately 32,000 people across the country to assist with census collection. We would like to work with you and your municipality to ensure that your residents are aware and informed of these job opportunities. Furthermore, your support in encouraging your residents to complete the census will have a direct impact on gathering the data needed to plan, develop and evaluate programs and services such as schools, daycare, family services, housing, emergency services, roads, public transportation and skills training for employment. If you would like to express your municipality's support for the census, please share the municipal council resolution text below with your residents: Be it resolved that: The Council of the Corporation of (NAME OF CITY/TOWN/MUNICIPALITY) supports the 2021 Census, and encourages all residents to complete their census questionnaire online at www.census.gc.ca. Accurate and complete census data support programs and services that benefit our community. In the coming weeks, a member of our communications team may contact you to discuss ways in which we can work together. Should you have any questions, please contact us at statcan.censusoutreach.west-rayonnementdurec.ouest.statcan@canada.ca. Thank you in advance for supporting the 2021 Census.
