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

That as a bonus for increased density, the applicant will provide the following contributions prior to issuance of a building permit:

  1. $750 towards the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund; and
  2. $2,850 toward the General Amenity Reserve Fund.

subject to reductions depending on use and height in accordance with the Affordable Housing and Amenity Contribution Policy

The applicant will also provide $10.75 per square metre of commercial space towards the General Amenity Reserve Fund prior to issuance of a building permit.

  1. That full frontage improvements, a storm water management plan, and a construction parking plan be provided and implemented to Bylaw 1000 standards to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering prior to issuance of building permit.
  2. That all 6 properties associated with this rezoning be consolidated prior to issuance of a Development Permit.

Speakers and submissions (in order presented):

  • Matthew Moradian and Rachel Sansom — presentation on proposed development on behalf of the applicant. Project would provide housing for 271 families and commercial space; not requesting any variances. Project will be using carbon reduction technology in its concrete. Prices for homes will start under $400K.
  • Liisa Stewart — 2723 Peatt Road — Do not feel this development is reasonable for the neighbourhood. Have been negatively impacted by a four-storey development nearby and this would be worse. Support development of 4-6 stories.

  • David Fulko — 3035 Dorado Court — In favour. Housing needed; better to go up than out environmentally. Appropriate to densify the city core.
  • Anil Karim — working with developers to include quality child care within this development. Developers strongly support equitable childcare spaces.
  • Robert Friend — 3024 Glen Lake Road — Employ 50 employees who live and work in Langford. Employees are getting pushed out. Taller, dense projects needed.

  • Dana Elizabeth — 2850 Aldwynd Road — Support this project and density in the core.

  • Thai Tran — 2853 Crystal View Drive — Support for affordability; will make downtown core more livable for young families.
  • Rosemary Turnowski — 837 Brock Avenue — This development would have huge impact; will affect community gardening, parking.
  • Bryce Wade — 19721 64th Avenue, Langley — Housing crisis requires projects like this; building up avoids urban sprawl.
  • Morgan Petrovic — 309-2717 Peatt Road — Impacted but fully support; believes benefits outweigh annoyances.

  • Layne Britton — 3022 Shoreview Drive — Support; vital for downtown Langford core. Continued: Langford is desirable; does not think project will negatively impact traffic and parking.
  • Mike — 953 Glen Willow Place — Support; more environmentally-friendly than urban sprawl; high-rise buildings more energy-efficient.
  • Nicole Simpson — 4111 Mariposa Heights — Support; housing crisis needs hundreds of homes from this development.
  • Yazmin Hernandez — 2634 Sunderland Road — Feel conversation should be about this specific development and its merits in the neighbourhood; not enough amenities like rapid transit and bike lanes; ground floor should be active rather than multiple levels of parking.
  • Glen Kakoske — 1715 Coronation Avenue — No comments.
  • Isaac Mann — 2747 Scafe Road — Recent graduate; in full support; units will be more affordable; support vertical building.
  • Chris Newstead — 2732 Scafe Road — Request Council not approve; 271 new units is six times residences on the whole street; traffic and parking will worsen; not enough parking; concerns about privacy, noise, lifestyle impacts; priority should be existing residents.
  • Susie Hicks — 2345 Lake End — Concerns with infrastructure (doctors, police, fire); construction jobs will go away and residents will still commute.
  • Laurie Plomp — 3592 Whimfield Terrace — Oppose; neighbourhood not good fit for tall towers; parking ratio insufficient; request Public Hearing be adjourned until greenspace better developed.
  • Jordan Goldsmith — 3030 Washington Avenue — Support; many peers struggling to find housing.
  • Elizabeth Markus — 3262 Zapata Place — Ask Council to vote against; need more community engagement; concerns about character change; prefer 10-12 storey alternatives.
  • Kim Robinson — 960B Paige Avenue — Oppose 24 stories; 10 stories more appropriate.
