If the proposal is for the 20 Townhouses, why is the proposed zoning change City Centre and not Townhouse? • 2. Previously we indicated we were not opposed to between 4 and 6 townhouses. Now the proposal is 20 townhouses? • 3. You indicate that 20 Townhouses require 2 parking spots each with an additional 4 parking spots for guests. That totals 44 spots In total. • 4. Where are those 44 additional parking spots going to be situated on an already busy side street? As the children of these new residents come of age, where are they going to park? • 5. When these 20 new families have guests? Where do they park during Christmas, birthdays or other regular yearly celebrations or events? • 6. We understand there are options to buy properties laying between this proposed development (2772 Vantilburg) and the lot #528 on the corner of Goldstream and Vantilburg. These lots may include #2790, 2756, 2782, 2780 and 2776. Can this be confirmed? • 7. What is the intended use for these additional lots, parking, or more developments under CC1 or CC2, which we adamantly oppose. • 8. Will these 20 townhouses be available to purchase or are they to be rentals or for low- income housing ? • 9. You say that the developers MAY pay a per unit fee for future school site acquisition as we all know the present school (Savory Elementary) is full. We can’t imagine how that “fee” is going to come anywhere near the funds needed to locate a site, purchase it, develop it and build another school all done in time for the children that come with this proposed development. 10. assuming a new school can be built within a reasonable time frame, and at no additional cost to the present owners of the properties on Vantilburg Crescent and Penelope Place, how are the children going to get there and back, by bus? Has anyone tried to turn a bus around in our dead-end street, or in the other dead end at the other entrance to Savory School? Is the plan to have these children stand out on Goldstream to catch their bus and/or cross Goldstream coming or going to school? • 11. Recently, we have seen an influx of young families buying here to raise their children in a clean, quiet, residential community.

Our members have been very vocal in submitting our individual concerns about the redevelopment proposal of the twenty townhouses on Van Tilburg Crescent. You have previously received those concerns via both e-mails and by hand delivery. Over the last couple of days we have canvassed all of our neighbours door by door and asked them if they wanted to sign this petition submitted within. The overwhelming majority were willing to sign and anxious to have their voices heard. We, as the owners of residents of both Van Tilburg Crescent and Penelope Place do NOT want this development to proceed as designed. Secondly and maybe more important we do Not want these two streets to be reclassified as City Centre.

Our original letter was written on December 6, 2021. It was a verdict from that town council meeting that the in accordance to the meeting minutes of 20211213- PZAH-Meeting, Section 5.4 At this point in time the applicant has not consulted with us, they hired a 3rd party consultant by the name of Grayland Consulting Ltd. The letter that was sent by this company is date January 10, 2022. The attached letter enclosed outlines the following items: Zoning, School Capacities, Traffic and Pedestrian Safety, Drainage, Parking, Protective Services, Sanitary Sewers, Notification Period, and Environmental Issues. These were all items brought to the attention of the Planning Committee on December 13, 2021. However, the letter does not answer any of the concerns that we, as homeowners, and a community have. Zoning-” The neighbourhood has indicated that they would be more comfortable with an RT1 or RT2 Townhouse designation as opposed to the City Centre 2 (CC2) zone which might allow a broader range of land uses and densities.” This paragraph is speaking for us as a community, we DO NOT want nor feel comfortable with this zoning application. This consultant goes on to say “Currently, under the existing R2 zone 6 single family homes, 3 storeys high with suites could be constructed without public input.” This statement is bully like at best and does not do anyone good to tell the tax paying citizens of Langford that in a “Like it or lump it” statement its how it will be. If the developer and the consultant are attempting to get the community on board and feeling any contentment with this, they have just shattered it in the first paragraph. Page 77 of 168 ### Page 78 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 78 Schools Capacities- “Langford works closely with SD62 to determine future needs of the community and are referred with each land use application. In addition, developers are charged a per unit fee for future school site acquisition, which is paid directly to the School District.” While this is a nice statement, it does not answer the questions we presented originally. Where are these children who move into these proposed townhomes to go to school when our elementary school currently is over capacity, with no future changes in the catchment area in September 2022 when the new school in West Hills opens? The catchment for Savory Elementary School has had 3 major density changes in the City of Langford S6 Goldstream East. The first one was the removal of 13 income assistant townhomes on Goldstream Avenue, that was replaced by the first building with 92 condos, and then a second building that is larger and est. 120 units. That brings a total of over 150 units of income assistance (predominantly families) with children now enrolled with Savory Elementary School. The second one is the recent approval of 3 single dwelling homes on the E&N Railway Path on Granderson Road. This will be a 6-story condo building that will home another approx. 92 units at least. These children will also go into Savory Elementary School. And now this proposed zoning change will also flood into this school. Savory Elementary is currently the last school in the district to receive any funding. They lost their computer lab a few years back to the number of students it must accommodate now. There is only 1 ramp in and out of the school for wheelchairs, and no elevator. How will it accommodate any children that will need to access this for lessors, or teachers who are qualified but may be discriminated against due to a disability that the school cannot accommodate? The average size class at this school is approx. 26-28 students to 1 teacher. The brand-new music program is in a portable in an extra field that is now a parking lot, due to student admissions for drop off and pick ups. The new elementary school that will open in West Hills does not effect/change any of the catchment for Savory Elementary School. So, there will be no relief of students in September 2022 for this school. Grayland Consulting Ltd. Responded with the following when asked about the same issues: Page 78 of 168 ### Page 79 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 79 I personally called Savory Elementary and School District 62. They did not have any answers or ability to inform for accommodation to the proposed zoning application. Traffic and Pedestrian Safety- “The Director of Engineering makes the determination if a traffic impact study is required” On December 13, 2021 it was requested by 3 residents that a traffic and pedestrian safety study was conducted. The Engineer of the meeting was not aware at that time, and this is when the planning committee requested the developer come back to the neighbourhood. We were one of those residence and would still like this conducted. Grayland continues, “The existing traffic plans and models for the City anticipate growth in accordance with the Official Community Plan. While Vantilburg has a connection to Savory School, the low traffic volumes for this local road do not indicate the need for sidewalks at this time. That said, the developer is required to construct sidewalks in the road frontage for connection to future sidewalks when the time comes.” I am wondering where the investigation has been for “low traffic volumes” when it comes to the school pick up, drop-off and springtime soccer, and baseball clubs that meet up at the school. On any given school day or event our street is lined with cars all around the cul-de-sac and up and around the corner. It is near impossible for residents to navigate as it is. How will children safely play, walk, or navigate our streets with an extra 20 townhomes (2-4 children per home) on top of this. Drainage- Will we the residence get any notice, results/findings, and opportunity to talk with regards to the Storm Water Management Plan? Parking – “No variances have been requested.” What are the variances and how do we the citizens request information and further support in this? This is one of our main concerns. Why is the consultant referring to it, but not attempting to help us? Is this not part of the job as a consultant between developer and community? Protective Services- We also requested if the police department gets support as there has been an increase in theft and vandalism over the years. Currently the city planning for distance between streetlights hardly illuminates our street safely at night. And we have a light missing at the end of our street. Would this not all fall under the support and assistance of the police and crime issues? Sanitary Sewers- In the meeting on December 13, 2021, it was asked at what additional cost will it be to hook up to the sewer? Who will be the estimate of the cost, will it be inflated as we are paying the developers cost fees to pay the contractor? Grayland consulting said the following: “Sanitary sewers will be extended from Goldstream Avenue to the subject property. Residents will have opportunities to connect to this sewer line. Please let us know if you are interested in connecting now, or in the future. We would be happy to help you navigate that process. If your property is not along the proposed sewer alignment, we may be able to help with the process too.” We also asked in the meeting a breakdown and explanation as to why we are paying inflated property taxes for a sewer plan that was a 5-year forecast almost 15 years ago. Will this not go into bringing the sewer all the way down both streets at the City/Developer cost as we have already been paying into this expense budget of the city? Notification Period – Thank you for more notice this time. Page 79 of 168 ### Page 80 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 80 Environmental Issues – “There are no known environmentally sensitive areas on the property.” Does this include BC protected spices such as Great Honed Owls, Ravens, Crows and Seagulls that live, teach, and grow on this property? Can you please provide a study that was done to conclude with this information? With respects to due process, this zoning application from the start has not been handle well, tactful or in mindfulness of the residents of Vantilburg/Penelope. There has been no attempt in resolution, or communication. The consultant has used aggressive tactics and it would appear avoidance on all due diligence. The developer never once came to talk with us. And when the neighbours got together it was determined that the developer only spoke with one neighbour. During our first City Meeting the developer carried on saying how the neighbours had discussed that a townhouse plan was preferred over a 6-story building. And well as much as that may sound like the case, we were not consulted at all. And as one neighbour pointed out. When given 2 ultimatums, neither of which desirable, of course human nature is to pick the least detrimental of the two options. This developer is not from the island, as he stated in another meeting, he moved here because of opportunity and affordability. And while no matter where you go in Canada someone at some point moved there, sometimes holding onto the way a town is build currently is the best way to hold onto its history. When we strip it all away and change it, we lose the past that got us here to where we are today. So, at this point in time, in my opinion (because this is why we are all here is the opinions of the community) the city should consider turning its attention to other catchment areas and streets that have already had some density changes to unify a look of that street. Instead of the attempts of piecemeals all the different streets and make it look scraggily and scruffy like an ally cat. Below is our original letter for reference to the original concerns brought to the table and have still not been answered. December 6, 2021 Dear City of Langford Council, I am writing to express my concerns to the development Z21-0040, the proposed rezoning at 2772 Vantilburg Cres. Rezoning from the current R2 to CC2 right in the center of an area that is primarily only R2 will have considerable collateral effects on our neighbourhood. Traffic and safety of pedestrians are major areas of concern. Traffic jams west of Vantilburg is already at an all time high in the Langford City Centre. A multi-family dwelling townhouse will make the traffic on this residential street worse. While the traffic may be greater on average, the local neighborhood traffic will disproportionately surge during morning and afternoon school hours, causing traffic issues during critical times for the existing Vantilburg/Penelope neighborhoods. The traffic surge during morning rush hours will also negatively impact safety for children, since students walk to school in the mornings, to Savory Elementary at the end of the street. In general, the area traffic is continuing to increase, and heavy traffic is already common at times from Goldstream past Vantilburg Cres and beyond during peak traffic times. With the proposed townhouse complex there will not be enough room for extra vehicles within the proposed site and they will certainly spill out onto Vantilburg and Penelope causing safety concerns with how any emergency vehicles, especially firetrucks will be able to navigate an overcrowded narrow street. Schools in the area are already reported at overcapacity, and the council should not approve multi-family dwellings that creates or exacerbates a situation that will cause school concurrency to fail for this Page 80 of 168 ### Page 81 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 81 proposal and/or other approved plans. The SD 62 is scheduled to open another elementary school in September 2022. This will have no impact on the current Savory Elementary Catchment (see attachment enclosed.). This school is already at a max capacity. The concern as residents is that when the new development happened across the street from Happy Valley Elementary that school was already at capacity and children who should be able to walk across the street to the school were unable to attend. Savory Elementary is currently the last school in the district for funding and has no foreseeable funding for expansion, accommodation to classroom sizes, and learning tools to enhance the child’s educational experience. This new multi-home zoning change will put an already stressed school over the edge and (the residents who pay the taxes) will fall behind. The city just approved another 6 story condo building in which the children who reside here will attend Savory Elementary when complete, providing there is room. Wildlife has been observed in the area, and any development will destroy their habitat. Any planned development of the property should consider the continuing impact to local wildlife habitat. We currently have a family of ravens, and horned owl who has resided in this subject property of 2772 for at least the past 12 years. These birds of prey are important on our eco system. Also there will be an impact with the displacement of the ground water that runs through and under this property. Displacing this water will for sure damage three of the surrounding properties. There are only shallow ditches and not a storm system to manage rain and water run off. Property values are likely to go down in the area if multi-family apartments or condominiums are built. Multi family dwellings are inconsistent with the neighborhoods in this area. With a greater density we can be certain of an increase in crime in our quiet neighborhood. The fact that our local RCMP are already reaching their limits with manpower and our local volunteer fire department cannot meet with the provincial guidelines for minimal requirements is definitely a major issue. It is quite obvious that our infrastructure is very far behind the overwhelming rate of development in the Westshore area. We received notice of this hearing on Monday the 6th of December. The postage mark on the letter from the city of Langford is marked 30th of November. A very unacceptable and extremely short notice to reply and consider this proposed rezoning. I stress the lack of notice and preparation we had on our side to discuss this matter that is very concerning to us. I strongly urge you to consider the collateral effects the proposed rezoning, and from recent meetings and discussions with my neighbors, I know my opinions are shared by many. Thank you for your continued service and support of our communities. Best regards, James Kilpatrick and Amalia Eaton 2731 Vantilburg Cres.

I attended their open house on Feb 25th 2023. I was very impressed to see the design layout and function of these units. The development offers 4 bedroom townhouse units that are proposed to be 2000 square feet. This is a home I could see myself staying in for a long time and not having to move.

I oppose the construction of a 20-unit Townhome on my residential block as well as the planned development for 528 and 532 Goldstream for the following reasons: - Community Impact: Vantilburg Crescent is one of the last established, family, pet and nature- friendly streets in Langford. It is one of the last remaining scenic, family-oriented, original streets with a community, neighbourhood feel, established trees and shrubs, and amendable to dogs, cats, birds (including owls and woodpeckers), deer, raccoons and more. It has a longstanding, established culture and history. A 3-storey, 20-unit townhome butting to the street is inappropriate for this quiet, breathable community, its winding road, and the authentic, neighbourhood feel of this street and neighbourhood. The high-density, uniform, unimaginative (ie ugly), cheap, cookie-cutter townhouse development with its close-to-the-street proximity, towering over the other houses, is a stark and negative disparity, not in keeping with the look and feel of this community. Question: Could I get City Hall’s response to those of us that are faced with losing this strong, established neighbourhood, which is becoming rare in Langford, and our losing the peace and natural environment we have created here? I would like to hear City Hall’s comments on the losses residents are facing, not just with the Vantilburg and Goldstream developments, but with any Langford resident faced with their neighbourhoods being razed and turned into citified, often cheap, urban sprawl. - Property Values of Residents: The townhouse development will negatively affect property values of neighbouring houses. Real estate agents are contacting us like vultures, all with differing opinions on what we are in for emotionally and the financial loss impact to our properties. The stress is high. The neigbourhood property owners are paying the personal and financial stress and cost for the developments for the financial benefit of the developers. Question: How does City Hall plan to compensate the residents for their financial losses due to these developments? - Noise/Mental Health: The severe noise impact to tax-paying neighbours over possibly two- years or more of construction will be intolerable to the well being and mental health of residents and other users of this street. I have spoken to other Langford residents in the midst of construction who report severe disruption to their daily lives, and impact on their mental health, with constant cacophony of construction. Others report that you cannot get away from it. It can be heard from inside the home, it is impossible to be in your yard, and that the noise is unending including on weekends. This is not a simple building of one house on a residential street. More and more people work from home including myself, and will find it impossible to Page 85 of 168 ### Page 86 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 86 P a g e | 2 work with this noise. Question: How is City Hall going to mitigate and provide tax-paying residents relief from this noise? - Dust and Debris: The size of this construction will cause never-ending dust and debris, in addition to noise. Question: What measures will City Hall take to ensure that our homes are not impacted by construction debris and dust? - Increase to Traffic and Construction Traffic: No further increase of traffic on this small street can be borne. Both entering and exiting Vantilburg to and from Goldstream is a harrowing experience despite the addition of a left-turn lane in recent years: o Vantilburg Crescent feeds traffic to and from both Vantilburg Crescent and Penelope Crescent who funnel together at the entrance to Goldstream. Both streets already share the one entrance and exit from Goldstream to our residences. It can be stressful to exit Vantilburg onto Goldstream with cars lined up behind on Vantilbury also waiting to exit. The long lines of congestion along Goldstream slows the ability to make that turn either left or right onto Goldstream. o The traffic along Goldstream has increased; often making the left-hand turn off Goldstream onto Vantilburg a long wait and precarious with drivers needing to take risks to break on through that traffic. o Anything larger than a car cannot turn around the end part of Vantilburg Crescent without backing up as part of the turn. Question: How is the City going to manage the increased traffic, whether from construction traffic and later from new residents, entering and exiting Vantilburg Crescent with it already a difficult street to drive, and ensure that residents can also exit and enter the street and their homes without undue delay caused by construction trucks? - School Zone: Vantilburg is a short street leading to a dead end where there is a foot path to Savoury Elementary School. Children and their parents use Vantilburg Crescent to walk their kids to and from school. There are no sidewalks (I prefer no sidewalks), and it is a relatively narrow roadway with a winding, country feel. There will be never-ending construction traffic with cement trucks and other trucks using this small and narrow street. Question: How is the City planning for the safety of children, families and pets walking to and from school (and the school grounds after hours and weekends) along this street with no sidewalks and with major construction in a winding, narrow school zone? - School Drop-Off: Parents also use Vantilburg to drive their children to and from school both morning and afternoons, dropping their kids off and picking them up at the small footpath that leads from Vantilburg’s crescent area to Savoury School. There is increased traffic at these times, with parents parking along the end of the Crescent for drop off and pick-ups. It is an unmonitored 30km-an-hour school zone. Question: Has the City considered in its planning the additional traffic to the street caused by parents using this as a school drop-off, pick-up area? - Unstable Ground: There have been issues with sink holes on the street. Question: Has there been a survey of the ground stability to ensure none of our houses are going to have impact to our foundations given the ground upheaval with construction and large construction trucks? - Smoking: I understand Townhouse and Apartment developments may not allow smoking on the premises, resulting in residents coming out onto the street to smoke. Question: How does Page 86 of 168 ### Page 87 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 87 P a g e | 3 the City plan on preventing smokers from using our street as smoking areas for apartment and townhouse residents who are not allowed to smoke indoors or on the property, where the residents would then be subject to the wafting of cigarette smoke or people walking our street to smoke? - Abundance of Inventory: The residents are paying the price for what is being called a “lack of inventory”. Meanwhile, there is new residential construction throughout Langford. Question: Can you give details on the “lack of inventory” for single-families given the myriad of construction going on around Langford? I oppose these developments as a direct hit against a well-defined, peaceful and natural, community neighbourhood that reflects a unique, long-standing history. The proposed developments obliterate neighbourhood and community for urban sprawl, and are about cramming in every inch for cookie- cutter cheap builds to line the pockets of developers, all at the expense of residents. These relentless developments run the high cost of forever obliterating functional, breathable environments to create urban sprawl. This loss can never be regained. These developments continue to wipe out neighbourhood identities of Langford where we were known as a relatively quieter, family-oriented community. These projects do nothing more than continue to white-wash Langford’s character into a flavorless fast-food like, urban superficiality with no appeal, no different than Surrey. The developments dehumanize neighbourhoods by removing breathable space, precious trees and shut out nature, pets, wildlife, only to become what will very likely be future tenements. City Council has a responsibility to the health and well being of residents, the land, and the community. Your continued obliteration of established, nature-friendly, peaceful, community living space in Langford is a short-sighted, negative, and destructive move and it cannot be undone.

Dear City Council,    Please accept this as our formal objection against the rezoning of 2772 Vantilburg Crescent.    We have several concerns including but not limited to: damage to surrounding areas with the water table on  2772, the already at capacity neighbourhood school, increase in traffic leading to a bigger strain to community  resources including emergency responders, the inconsiderate short notice of this development, and the CC2  rezone proposal.    There is an extremely high water table located on the property of 2772 that accumulates rain and ground  water from the surrounding areas at higher elevation. This water then runs through multiple properties  including ours directly across the road on Vantilburg Crescent. We have already experienced flooding to our  home due to the inadequate system that is in place. The multiple surrounding properties have pumps already  operating around the clock to move water further along and away from our homes. There would be severe  and catastrophic impact to multiple properties including ours, if this issue is not addressed properly. If not  dealt with appropriately there will be damages to multiple homes and in turn lead to an increase in insurance  claims and therefore increase taxes.     We have contacted SD62 regarding the already at capacity small school located at the end of our culdesac. The new  school being built in the area will not solve this issue as the surrounding Savory school catchment is not affected by this  addition. Adding more children to this residential area makes no sense considering the school is already at capacity and  has no way of expanding due to the coven on the land.     This entire subdivision of Vantilburg Crescent and Penelope Place has a coven in place and should be limited  to single family dwellings.     The city is proposing to rezone 2772 Vantilburg cres. From R2 to CC2 zoning. We strongly disagree with this decision.  They are proposing to develop townhomes on the property which would only require an RT zone not a CC2. We  especially don't want to see the CC2 zoning go through as this is a beautiful family oriented quiet street that does not  want any commercial buildings on this residential street. We absolutely do not want to have the approval go through  for the CC2 zoning.     We are opposed to the increased traffic and increased density of people which then leads to more crime and creates  parking issues for the surrounding homes. This increased density also leads to a strain on the already stretched thin  emergency responders. There is already a shortage in this community and they are not able to provide the level of  service that is required.     If this rezoning does go through for the proposed townhomes, we would like to see ample parking provided on the  property of 2772 so the surrounding area is not over crowded by vehicles lining the streets. We would like to see a  height restriction in place to fit in with the surrounding homes. No taller than the tallest house already on the street.     Page 91 of 168 ### Page 92 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 92 2 Thank you for your time and consideration with this objection.     Kind regards,    Kory and Amanda Haanen  2771 Vantilburg Crescent                  Get Outlook for Android  Page 92 of 168 ### Page 93 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 93 1 Trina Cruikshank From: kory amanda haanen Sent: February 21, 2022 1:04 PM To: Langford Planning General Mailbox Subject: Begging City Council to Decline the Proposed development of 2772 Vantilburg Cres.

I am writing to you today to again oppose the proposal for the rezoning and construction of a 20- townhouse complex at 2772 Vantilburg. Since the last council meeting there has been no communication or consultation with the neighborhood that this proposal would have a significant impact on. The developers have merely summarized our points from the last council meeting and sent that out as a letter. There has been no consultation with the homeowners of Vantilburg and Penelope as directed by your council following the last meeting when this proposal was rejected. They have not heeded your direction. My concerns as voiced at the last meeting and in writing are: • the substantial increase in traffic that would be the direct result of a 20 complex townhome on a street that has no sidewalks; is a thoroughfare for people from both sides of the train tracks to access Goldstream and Atkins; as an access point for Savory Elementary families to drop off their children; for children walking to school; for people walking their dogs to access the Atkins portion of the trail; the increase of potentially 44 more cars plus visitors is unmanageable on a street already having difficulty exiting onto Goldstream. Getting onto and off of Vantilburg to Goldstream is already difficult during morning and evening rush hour and at random times throughout the day with just the 35 households in the neighborhood (Vantilburg and Penelope) let alone the addition of 20 more homes and upwards of 30+ more vehicles. • We all purchased our homes that each hold a convenant for similar reasons; the close proximity to amenities yet the rural feel of our neighborhood; the appeal of a cul-de-sac where everyone knows each other, greets each other, and looks out for each other. Our children all know the neighbors and in a time of crisis could safely go and knock on anyone’s door for assistance. • The desire to continue to expand the City of Langford to be the fastest growing city in Canada has multiple locations in which to do that, the middle of a small block of single family homes to build a multiple resident building is not the right location. There are many locations throughout Langford with ample parking access and easy egress onto main thoroughfares and close proximity to the new schools that will be completed by the time a new townhouse comlex is built. Putting a townhouse complex for families practically next door to an elementary school that cannot accept those students makes no sense – Savory has been at capacity for several years now. • The trees, habitat and ecosystems in this neighborhood has been part of the reason I purchased in this neighborhood. The property at 2772 Vantilburg contains many trees that will change forever the landscape of this neighborhood. I personally see at least 7 of the trees on this Page 96 of 168 ### Page 97 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 97 property from my home on Penelope Place. I do not want to see all of these trees get cut down. Owls, squirrels, multiple species of birds and other animals are part of our neighborhood because of the multiple trees and ecosystem available. • There are still MANY unanswered questions from neighbors about this property and there has been no consultation in which to ask or discuss with the developers. While growth is inevitable in a community and welcomed so that we can continue to have neighborhoods with diverse neighbors from different countries, backgrounds, and family make up there are obvious places for this growth for multi-family dwellings to happen – it is NOT in the middle of small street with one way in/out for two streets – it is NOT the property to move more families into one piece of property than there are houses on the street – it is NOT the property that will cut down over 15 mature trees that have been growing for over 30 years – it is NOT the location that will create traffic congestion in the middle of a block with no sidewalks. There are multiple pieces of property throughout the Langford region in which to build a 20-unit townhouse complex – 2772 Vantilburg is NOT it. Respectfully submitted, Kristi Falconer Kristi Falconer 2777 Penelope Place Page 97 of 168 ### Page 98 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 98 February 22, 2023 Dear Mayor Goodmanson and City Councillors: I am writing to express my support for the development proposed at 2772 Vantilburg Crescent. The development would fit well with the neighbourhood offering a modern but tasteful design that would pay respect to the location by surrounding itself with the already existing and beautiful douglas fir trees along with other remaining and added greenspace. Situated in a great location for children that would attend Savory Elementary School, a five minute walk away. This development will also allow families to live in a housing complex that is suited to their needs and size rather than dwellings built for singles or couples. has proved that they build appropriate, uniquely designed properties with architectural features that would complement and enhance this older neighbourhood. Perhaps, if approved, the City of Langford could add a driver controlled light at the intersection of Vantilburg and Goldstream Avenue, thereby minimizing the wait at this corner that will be present with the impending 6 story development that will be developed at that location this year.

Hello,    My name is Mark Mares, and I own/reside at 2790 Vantilburg Crescent with  .     As home owners at this address for over twenty one years, this letter is intended to express our concerns with the  proposed changes in zoning to 2772 Vantilburg Crescent. It is our understanding that the developers are seeking to tear  down the home on this property and build a townhouse complex in its place.     The current zoning in our neighbourhood is R2, and the proposed development is seeking a CC2 zoning. We are very  much opposed to the pursuit of this much higher than necessary level zoning of CC2 in the middle of our currently quiet  and rural neighbourhood. The allowance of CC2 zoning would create an unrestricted avenue to expand upon the current  townhouse proposal, and bring unwelcome additional traffic and disruption to our family‐oriented dead‐end street. This  proposal warrants a maximum zoning target of RT, intended for townhouses only.     The addition of high‐density housing at this location will place a strain on our community’s amenities, including an  already maximum capacity Savory Elementary school at the end of the street. Our city’s fire department is already  failing to meet requirements for our population density.     It is also my understanding that this proposed townhouse complex does not have a plan in place for adequate parking  for their residents, which will result in extra vehicles being forced to park on the street.   This street has a high volume of pedestrian traffic, especially younger children before, during and after school hours.  Additional vehicle traffic will compromise pedestrian safety, especially if they have to navigate to the center of the  street to get around even more parked cars while avoiding moving vehicles.     I urge the Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee to please take note of our points and concerns, both as  individual home owners and as an entire neighbourhood community.   These are very valid concerns, and we appreciate your consideration of this matter as a whole.     Thank you.   Mark   Mares   Page 102 of 168 ### Page 103 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 103 28 March 2022 Mary Hutson 36-1308 Rutland Rd N Kelowna, British Columbia V1X4Z3 I am a former resident of Langford, living at 2770 Penelope Pl . I recently received a copy of a petition arguing for the preservation of the neighbourhood and to reject a building application for redevelopment on Vantilburg. I wanted to argue FOR the development. This is an older neighbourhood with plenty of room to redevelop. I think a mixed townhouse and apartment development with a focus on families would be wonderful. I would recommend establishing a better crossing of Goldstream at Vantilburg so those using the bus will have a safer way to cross to the bc transit bus stop. Upgrading the sidewalks on both side of Goldstream here would be important for viability. Resurfacing of both Vantilburg and Penelope streets would really help. And making an easy infrastructure path to Savory Elementary would be key! I am no longer a member of the community, but as a former resident who has lived in the effected area, I am positive that once the changes were made the NIMBY voices would quiet and it would be an excellent addition to the neighbourhood.

Many residents have told me they did not receive the notice of the Committee meeting until one or two days prior to the cut-off date for submissions. We are an active and social community here and would want more time to confer and discuss to adequately voice our feelings about this proposal. I understand that the Official Community Plan allows for increased development in our area within reason, but I am concerned that development without proper planning could lead to • parking issues on both streets – higher density developments that do not make room for enough parking on site will inevitably overflow onto Vantilburg and Penelope. • Traffic delays – higher density may lead to an increase in cue length at Goldstream Avenue • General safety – higher density leading to more traffic and parking on our streets would make for more chances of accidents. This is a popular walking route for school children in our area on their way to Savory School, as well as it being a popular walking route for families. Above all we residents like the way these streets are currently zoned, and there is a character of neigbourhood that has grown from that zoning. We understand development along the corridor of Goldstream Avenue is inevitable, but please consider leaving our streets zoned for one-and-two family residential. Thank you for reading this and listening to our concerns.

Several points to note: 1.) late notification. I do not know what the requirements are for notifying immediate neighbors, but we did not receive notice until Friday Dec 3 and we had to have our response in by Tuesday Dec 7 at noon. This is inadequate to allow us to even begin to understand what is being proposed, let alone being able to put together a response. Such little notice feels like trying to put zoning changes through with as little opposition as possible. I hope that is not the case. 2.) zoning CC2 (City Centre 2) I am unable to find what this zoning refers to on Langford website, but can see CC1, CC3 and CC5. If these are any indication of what CC2 could mean, then this is not the right zoning for this neighborhood. The letter received Dec 3 states the proposal is for "the development of a townhouse complex". If this is accurate, then have the zoning reflect "RT" for residential townhouse or similar. if we allow CC2 zoning, there is no guarantee that the property, in the middle of single family houses, will be be developed as stated. We strongly oppose the high density permitted under the CC zoning. We will be joining the zoom meeting on Dec 13.

This a dead end road with a wonderful community on this street. I know a few good friends who live in this neighborhood in a some of the houses and whom visit often to play. I do no think adding a huge development is beneficial to the current residents on these streets, as it will become very congested and street parking is already extremely limited. It is also a drop off location for children going to Savory Elementary, and again will increase congestion and be an unsafe road for children coming and going to school, especially those on foot in this community. I highly disagree with the development proposed to put in multiple townhouse units, which will increase traffic, decrease safety, become a parking hazard to visitors of this community and overall has been quite upsetting to this community. Thank you for considering the needs of this community and those who live and visit there.

I believe that neither of the developments as proposed is the right fit for this neighbourhood, Vantilburg/Penelope being a quiet set of streets with frequent pedestrian access. At the moment there are less than 40 houses within the two streets combined. Many of the young families in the area, including those surrounding the Vantilburg/Penelope neighbourhood, use Vantilburg for access to Savory Elementary School, and young children frequently walk unsupervised to the school grounds because the street is safe due to a lower volume of traffic. The street also offers access to Atkins Avenue and the recently extended E&N trail for cyclists, walkers, joggers and dog owners. The street is able to function in this way because of the lower density, which allows for less traffic. The two proposed developments would mean the addition of 100+ vehicles of new residents, and that is just if the average homeowner is a single vehicle family, something that would be unlikely for many. The addition of this traffic will mean that a vital access point to the above amenities will be threatened by a dangerous increase in traffic volume. Additionally, Vantilburg/Penelope is one of the older neighbourhoods in Langford and is home to some of the most beautiful large trees, as well as classic style, two-story houses, well maintained lots, and close-knit, neighbourly relationships. Of particular note is the Pagoda style house currently on 528 Goldstream Ave., which would be destroyed or removed if this development is approved. Unique houses, which breathe additional culture into a relatively homogenous city, provide important visual landmarks and help diversify our architecture, not only as a street but also as a city. The factors listed above, are an important feature of the neighbourhood and are a primary reason why it is a desirable location to live. The developments proposed inherently threaten the nature and character of the neighbourhood. Each development proposal also includes the significant removal of historic trees, an increase in population which endangers the close-knit community feel, an increase in traffic which will bring about both a noise increase and a safety barrier for families with small children (who can currently play in the street), and an aesthetic that is incoherent with the current feel of the community, while removing vital pieces of culture from it. A third concern is that the infrastructure currently in place is already overburdened and cannot support the proposed increase in density. Already at peak traffic times or during holiday seasons, the street becomes crowded, and access to Goldstream Ave. is congested. Thus, the additional vehicles that would come with the proposed developments would make what is already a difficult point of access entirely untenable. Furthermore, the two proposed developments, which have completely maximized their land potential, would mean that most visitors likely would park on Vantilburg and Penelope, not only cutting into spaces for the guests of existing residents, but also constricting small roads even further. There are no Page 107 of 168 ### Page 108 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 108 sidewalks, and so all roadways must be shared spaces, thus making it even more dangerous for pedestrians and further reducing the ability for important community building functions such as children playing together in the street. I understand and support the need for some development in our city, and a desire to replace aging structures with new ones. However, I also implore you to consider the existing culture of the neighbourhood and approve only those applications which can preserve what is there. The large lot at 2772 could be subdivided into smaller lots with two story single-family dwellings on them. This would continue to preserve the nature of the street, add higher density that could be supported by the existing infrastructure of the neighbourhood, while not threatening to destroy the character and community that already exists. Additionally, the two lots (532/528 Goldstream) could house two-story town homes, with access via Goldstream Ave. rather than Vantilburg Cresent. There are many two-story town houses in the area, including at 540 Goldstream and 2775 Granger. This type of development would help to increase density to a manageable level without increasing traffic to Vantilburg and without fundamentally threatening the nature and character of the community. As, a deeply concerned citizen I ask that you take the above important factors into consideration as you deliberate on the future of these two developments. I would invite you to come and walk the streets and see for yourself why it is worth preserving the culture and character of the neighbourhood, and why it will be a net loss to the city of Langford, not to mention residents in the Vantilburg/Penelope area, if it should be irreversibly destroyed by the wrong type of development.

We are opposed to this rezoning application as it now stands for a number of reasons: 1. We find that being given such short notice for our neighbourhood to review and respond without adequate information provided and with such a tight response timeline, is unacceptable. 2. This is a quiet RESIDENTIAL neighbourhood with limited street traffic and schoolchildren accessing Savoury Elementary School throughout the year. Traffic on/off Vantilburg and Penelope Place onto Goldstream Avenue is already challenging as Goldstream Avenue is a major arterial highway. Increasing traffic in this limited area will have a negative effect on the neighbourhood. 3. While we understand the momentum to have greater density in the downtown core, this neighbourhood has already been impacted by the past developments along Goldstream and Langford in general. Most of the residents are long term home owners who have chosen to live in a quiet residential area to raise families. We believe more high density in this area will not be conducive to maintaining family oriented lifestyles in a safe, child friendly neighbourhood. 4. We are opposed to this application seeking a “CC2 (City Centre 2)” designation as the current neighbourhood is zoned R2 (Residential). We believe this to be unnecessary as the application proposes the “development of a townhouse complex”. The information forwarded to us at the last minute, does not specify how many townhouses are being considered or planned for in the development. 5. It is our understanding that if a limited townhouse development were approved, that the zoning could be “Residential Townhouse” (from “R2”) and “CC2” zoning would not be necessary. A limited development would be much more in keeping with the neighbourhood and “CC2” seems to be unnecessary and excessive. 6. Many of the neighbourhood residents have resided here for many years and have binding Covenants included in their Real Estate documents preventing certain uses of their property included as part of the original residential development of the area. 7. It is also our understanding and concern that Savoury Elementary School is at capacity and new future residents could have difficulty enrolling. 8. Family values seem to be under attack in our society and maintaining strong family oriented neighbourhoods is both desirable and important.

I believe the proposed development height (3 stories), rezoning, and size (20 townhouses) are not the right fit for this street.     The Vantilburg/Penelope neighbourhood is a quiet set of streets with frequent pedestrian access. At the moment there are less than 40 houses between the two streets combined.

The street is able to function in this way because of the lower density, which allows for less traffic. The two developments proposed include 20 town homes at 2772 and a 77 unit tower with access to parking via Vantilburg at 532/528 Goldstream. This will mean the addition of as many as 100+ extra vehicles and that is just if the average homeowner is a single vehicle family, something that would be uncommon for many. The addition of this traffic will mean that a vital access point to these amenities will be threatened by a dangerous increase in traffic volume.     Additionally, the neighbourhood is one of the older neighbourhoods in Langford and is home to some of the most beautiful large trees, as well as classic style two story houses, well-maintained lots, and close-knit neighbourly relationships. If the development of 2772 goes through in the terms presented to council there will be over 40 large mature trees cut down which have taken hundreds of years to grow. By replacing these trees with 50+ new ones it still doesn't take care of the fact that this forested area is the home to a plethora of wildlife like deer, owls, eagles, and so many other species that would be lost without this space. The factors listed above, are an important feature of the neighbourhood and are a primary reason it is a desirable location to live. The above mentioned development proposals, inherently threaten the nature and character of the neighbourhood.

Already at peak traffic times or during holiday seasons, the street becomes crowded and access to Goldstream Ave. is congested. Thus, the additional vehicles that would come with the proposed developments would make what is already a difficult point of access completely untenable. A traffic light on goldstream would only back goldstream up and cause traffic more traffic delays than area already present. Furthermore, the proposed development, which has completely maximized their land potential, would mean that most visitors would likely park alongside Vantilburg not only cutting into spaces for the guests of existing residents but also constricting a small road even further. There are no sidewalks (for good reason as the road is already too narrow and if sidewalks were installed they would cut into the space where ditches are currently which cannot be compromised due to the water table levels on the area) and so all roadways must be shared spaces. Thus making it even more dangerous for pedestrians and further reducing the ability for important community building functions such as kids playing together in the street.     I understand and support the need for development in our city, and a desire to replace aging structures with new ones, however, I also want to implore you to consider the existing culture of the neighbourhood and approve only those applications, which can preserve what is there.

Page 119 2 small, and neighbours know and trust each other. The addition of extra traffic and twice as many families in  such a short space will make these incredibly beautiful moments less and less possible.     I will be honest.. if the decision was up to us, we would not want more than a new single family house, or  perhaps a duplex or even two houses on 2772, however I understand that an investment has been made  there and that   wants to see a return. And so my hope is that the developer can come up with a  compromise that recognizes and seeks to preserve the character of the neighbourhood.     The consultant hired by    has notified us that the lots can be subdivided into 6 single family  dwellings and though this is still not desirable, if we have to choose the lesser of evils we would choose a new  lane with 6 new single family dwellings on that property vs 20 townhomes and I am guessing most of the  neighbours feel the same way. However, no one finds this proposal particularly attractive.     I hope you as our elected body will take this feedback into consideration as you look at this project and  protect the interests of the community in ensuring that any development on this land will continue to  preserve the fundamental character that makes this street such a valuable asset to the citizens of central  langford.     Sincerely,    Andrew   Haws  2755 Vantilburg Cres    Page 119 of 168 ### Page 120 Source pages: 73–168 ##

ADYISORY COUNSEL February 4, 1998 The Residents of Vantilburg Ci'escent Dear SirslMadams; The Alexanders' application for removal of the restrictive covenant over the portion of their lands was i^reard on February 3, 1998. Judge Owen Flood grantecj the Alexanders, application fcr the removal of the requested portions of the restrictive covenant in relation to the Alexanders' property. The Judge's reasoning was that with the addition of extra lancj to the Alexanders' property i-t comprised approximately 36,000 square feet. The portion of the lands which *.i* "or*red by the restrictive covenant were approximately 12,000 square feet. .The Alexanders' proposed plan of subdivision would create three lots out of the current lot. The three lots would each have roughly 12,000 square feet of area. The Alexanders have represented that on the two additianal lots to be created there would be single famiiy dwellings created. The Judge found that there would be no change in the charicter of the neighbourhood as a result of the addition of two single family dweilings and that the construction of access to those two lots at the rear of the Alexanders' property would not result in a removal of trees or significant change to the amenity and aesthetics of the neighbourhood' The order of the Judge may be subject to appeal. A decision will have to be made by yourselves as to whether you wish to proceed with an appeal. An appeal must be to**"n.ed within thirty days from the date of decisron. Further, consideration must be given to stay the applilation of the Judgment pending the hearing the appeal so that the Alexanders do'not proceed with the registration of the discharge of the restrict covenant over their ProPertY.

We know most of our surrounding neighbors retirees who have lived on the street for 40 years and now young families starting out. Our cul de sac of Penelope Place and Vantilburg Crescent is already very busy with families walking daily to and from Savory Elementary school. We have a golden retriever and a friendly tabby cat, and It is not safe to add additional infrastructures on Vantilburg Crescent as the street is already busy with cars parked on either side, there is no room for a 20 unit town home mid street, and a 6 foot high rise apartment building on the front entrance of the street. We have been saddened to see the destruction from our backyard of old growth douglas fir trees at the Chinese Pagoda site as well as that beautiful historic home that has been a proud monument in Langford for years. Its terrible to know that will no longer be able to walk safely too and from school with more construction and cars on the roads during the work day and weekends now too. There needs to be another traffic safety study done. The infrastructure of these builds is another matter where a structural engineer needs to address the water table and the need to keep the homes on the street safe from flooding. What about storm drains and run off during the rainy season where will that water go with the proposed addition of sidewalks on Vantilburg. In regards to the matter of sewer hook- up and fees that need to be paid, how will that work for those who may not be able to afford sewer hook -up? What about the birds that nest in the trees we have bald eagles and white horn owls and many other endangered birds what will happen when those trees are destroyed? I thought there was supposed to be a nature study done to reflect these concerns. New planted trees take years to grow. We voted this new council in to protect our neighborhood keep the communities interests at large, there is no protecting our home investments when the neighborhood we bought into is changing right beside us and we have no say in how these builds are taking place. I also am a resident that is worried about blasting and noise issues with two construction sites nearby what will the quality of life look like while we are in our homes. We have already had to put up with loud chain saws, frequently loud and large trucks blocking the entrance of Vantilburg Crescent and ongoing road work on Goldstream Avenue for the past year. As far as we are aware we bought into a single family convenant years ago, so how are these same properties zoned into higher density areas? We desperately ask for the council to please rethink these developments as our whole block in the area feels like we are not being heard. The new mayor and the new council all made promises to keep the interests of Langford residents as a first priority versus big money and large developments, we hope you are the change that we have been hoping for and that each one of you please come and take a walk down our two streets, and Page 141 of 168 ### Page 142 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 142 remember what it feels like to call a place home. We know that there needs to be more housing in Langford but the answer is not to destroy the last remaining neighborhoods that are what makes Langford still feel like community. When I was a child I always dreamt of raising our family in a neighborhood like ours where we are safe to walk to school and play freely, and we knew our neighbors. We pray our dream does not become a dream of the past and can continue to call our neighborhood one they feel safe to play in. Yours Sincerely, Jennifer Ridley Page 142 of 168 ### Page 143 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 143 1 Trina Cruikshank From: Jo-Anne Ford Sent: March 28, 2023 10:33 AM To: Langford Planning General Mailbox Subject: 2772 Vantilburg Crescent / Public hearing April 3rd 2023 Planning / development Langford  2772 Vantilburg crescent   Public hearing April 3rd 2023     in favour of the townhouse development at 2772 Vantilburg crescent.  Our concern is the water that collects at this property.   spoken to Mehdi from Khataw developments about this  and his engineers along with city engineers have plans to deal with the water. This is great for us and our neighbours.    There are many options in this development for families and young people to move into.  there is a school at the end of the road, access to trails where you can walk or bike to downtown Langford or further  afield if you choose. The sewer and sidewalks they plan to bring will be a great addition for the neighbourhood.    It’s is a great neighbourhood to live in and raise your family.    Regards   J Ford    2776 Vantilburg crescent.    Sent from my iPad  Page 143 of 168 ### Page 144 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 144 From: Michelle King To: Langford Planning General Mailbox Subject: 2772 Vantilburg Townhomes To whom it may concern at Langford Planning, This letter is in reference to the Public Hearing being held on April 3, 2023, at 7pm.  I am a resident of Penelope Place, a cul de sac attached to Vantilburg Crescent.  I am in favour of the development in my neighborhood at 2772 Vantilburg Crescent for the following reasons:   1.      The water problem on the site will be solved for all the surrounding neighbors that flood every fall, winter and spring. a.      At the open house in early March, the developer was in attendance and advised there are plans to address the flooding, diverting the water to the infrastructure coming with the sewer lines and taking the water out to Goldstream.  There were no documents or diagrams on the walls to support that, but this is what we were informed verbally.   2.      I am really looking forward to the sewer going by my home so we can hook up to it.   3.      The sidewalks will be an excellent addition to the neighborhood.  There are lots of kids waking to and from school and with the added traffic from the development, the sidewalks will be an added bit of safety.   It is not only a benefit to our neighborhood, it is a benefit to Langford as a whole.  Instead of property taxes for one home on this large lot, the city will receive property taxes from 20 homes; money the city can well use.   At least twice a week, I walk by a different development by the same developer on Selwyn.  It is clean, neat, tidy and attractive in the neighborhood. I’m sure this one will be the same when finished.

This strata is a ten lot bare land strata that has applied to make one point of connection to the recently installed sanitary sewer main on Sunheights Drive. During the permit review process, it was identified by staff that one of the properties, 816 Batting Place, is within the municipal boundary of Colwood. In order for this lot to connect to Langford’s municipal sewer system it requires approval from both Langford and Colwood Councils. This strata was formed in 1990, prior to the incorporation of Langford, and was jointly approved by the Ministry of Transportation and Highways and the City of Colwood. COMMENTARY: Langford staff have advised Colwood staff on this matter and will send a copy of the resolution to Colwood staff for any further action on their behalf. Staff have also consulted with our lawyer on this matter and have been advised that a formal intermunicipal sanitary sewer agreement for this one lot connection is not necessary. A resolution of consent from each municipal Council would permit the connection of 816 Batting Place, as outlined in Section 13 of the Community Charter, copied below for reference. Services outside municipality 13 (1) A municipality may provide a service in an area outside the municipality, but it must first obtain consent as follows: (a) if the area is in another municipality, the council must obtain the consent of the council of the other municipality; Page 153 of 168 ### Page 154 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 154 Intermunicipal Sanitary Sewer Service for 816 Batting Place 20230403 Council Report Page 2 of 3 (b) if the area is not in another municipality and is not treaty lands, the council must obtain the consent of the regional district board for the area. (2) In giving consent under subsection (1), the other local government may establish terms and conditions, including terms and conditions respecting (a)limits on the service to be provided in its area, and (b)the process for terminating provision of the service in its area. (3) If consent is given as referred to in subsection (1), the municipal powers, duties and functions provided under this or any other Act in relation to the service may be exercised in the area referred to in that subsection, subject to any applicable terms and conditions established under subsection (2).

LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: As noted above, staff have received legal advice on this matter and are proceeding accordingly. OPTIONS: Option 1 THAT Council direct staff to first obtain consent from the City of Colwood to provide sanitary sewer service to 816 Batting Place; AND THAT Council direct staff that after consent is received from the City of Colwood to permit 816 Batting Place to connect to the municipal sanitary sewer system, subject to the continual payment of all applicable annual fees owed to West Shore Environmental Services Ltd. OR Option 2 THAT Council direct staff not to take any action in regard to providing 816 Batting Place sanitary sewer service at this time.

COMMENTARY: Staff created an online survey and mailed invitations to approximately 150 households within 200m of the proposed park. A link to the online survey was also sent to the Savory and Crystal View Elementary Parents Education Advisory Councils. In addition, Parks staff held an in-person open house at 2575 Jeanine Drive on Saturday, March 11th from 11am to 1pm. The open house was advertised for two consecutive weeks through an advertisement in the Goldstream Gazette, via the City’s Instagram account, and on the City’s website (calendar of events). Approximately 50 residents attended and provided their feedback both verbally and through written comments. The online survey was open for approximately three weeks and 88 responses were received. Four hard copies of the survey were completed at the open house as well as thirteen additional comments on post-it notes. The overall feedback was extremely positive, and most respondents are in support of the creation of a functional park on the existing parkland. The following summaries the demographics and general make-up of those who responded, as well as results of feedback received. Note that these results should not be considered statistically significant, rather, the provide a snapshot of community input at a given point in time. 46% of the survey respondents were between the ages of 35 – 44 years, and 75% have children under 18 in their household. Of those that have children, the majority have a child between the ages of two Page 156 of 168 ### Page 157 Source pages: 73–168 ## Page 157 Jeanine Drive Park Community Engagement Results 20230403 Council Report Page 2 of 3 and five; there were also many that have a child between the ages of six and twelve and under the age of two. 67% of survey respondents live less than one kilometre from the proposed park location and 25% live between one and three kilometres away. 69% responded that they do not have any members of their household that would directly benefit from accessible playground infrastructure, however many still asked for the incorporation of accessibility features into the park design. When given the choice between (1) a large playground, (2) open space or (3) small playground and small open space, 64% said they would prefer a large playground that is suitable for all ages. When asked to identify their child’s favourite pieces of playground equipment, slides, swings and climbing features topped the list. Other desired park features were shade trees, benches, natural elements and picnic tables. Many also commented about the desire for a zipline and fencing for children’s safety. Residents envision using the future park as a safe space and neighbourhood hub to bring their children and grandchildren to play on the playground, walk the dog and as a meeting space to socialize. In summary, the City has received strong indication of support from the community engagement for the creation of this park. Based on this support, staff recommend that the Parks department proceed with park design encompassing the feedback obtained from the community engagement, recognizing the limitations of the proposed budget of $550,000 and site constraints. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The proposed budget for Jeanine Park is $550,000. Staff will prioritize the community playground equipment requests based on feedback, equipment costs, civil costs for land clearing and playground base preparation, surveying and landscaping. Due to long lead times for playground equipment, and parks desire to complete the park in 2023, by moving forward with the park design now, the City will be prepared to order playground equipment and issue an RFP for park construction should the project be approved by Council as part of the 2023 – 2027 Financial Plan. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no legal implications at this time.

It’s been an exciting time working with some incredibly talented trail builders, planners and managers, united in the vision to create what has become a world class bike park. I wanted to write to you to share a broader perspective on the importance of the park and how it has established the City of Langford as a provincial, if not global leader in MTB recreation. As the principal at Trail Holistics, I work with a number of communities throughout BC, from the Rockies to the Island. Working with municipal and provincial governments to plan bike parks and trails, I frequently refer to the good work accomplished at the JLBP as an inspirational example of what community vision can aspire to. Travelling the province affords me a broad perspective on what else is out there, and as a marker of comparison, I can say without a doubt, there is nothing that compares to what has been created at the “Jordie Park” (as it is affectionately known). When it comes to forward thinking, visionary endeavours, the City of Langford has created a one of a kind recreational asset, truly non-pareil in BC, if not the world. As the park enters a new phase after a year of public use, it is critical that the importance of maintenance and ongoing refinements is kept front and center, to ensure the park will continue to be the best it can be, while also ensuring the safety of users. As evidenced with the throngs of visitors on any given day, the Jordie Park is a well- loved community asset. But not just for the residents of Langford, I often chat with people from throughout the Island and the mainland, who’ve made the trek to Langford, specifically to visit the Jordie Park. Every visitor shares the same awe-inspiring review – they are completely blown away! Out of town visitors leave with the same question; “How do we get something like this in our community?” It can be said with conviction that the City of Langford is an influencer and a Provincial leader. As you deal with the complexities of managing a city, sometimes the bouquets can get lost in the din. I wanted to take the time to share a broader perspective so you understand how influential an effect you are having not just in your community, but in our province and beyond. The City of Langford has established itself as a leader in our province, particularly impressive when BC is considered as the MTB bike mecca of the world. As the park continues to evolve, please don’t lose perspective on the importance of the ongoing care required and where possible, the continued development of the park, to build upon the tremendous momentum that has been created to date. The park is a shining example of community spirit, and lest we forget, a fitting memorial to a very special, world renowned athlete and persona, Jordie Lunn, who, I’m sure, would be the proudest of all for what has been created in Langford.

Rescind first reading of Bylaw No. 2068; AND 2.

COMMENTARY: The Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 2068 was held on February 6, 2023. Following the close of the Public Hearing, Council passed 2nd and 3rd readings of the Bylaw. The information considered as part of the Public Hearing as well as the video recording of the Public Hearing can be found at the following link on the City’s website: Council Meeting - February 06, 2023 (escribemeetings.com). The Traffic Impact Assessment stated that the increased floor area would not necessitate any additional road improvements. Additionally, the applicant decided to register the final easement instead of the covenant that would require the easement to be registered prior to issuance of a building permit, which saves a second legal step in the future. Due to these factors, the covenant is no longer required. At the time of writing this report, the applicant’s lawyer provided their undertaking that they have received all necessary signatures for the easement, except for the City’s, and once they have received the signed easement back from the City, they will register the easement at the Land Titles and Survey Assessment Office. OPTIONS: Option 1 THAT Council adopt Bylaw No. 2068. OR Option 2 THAT Council reject the application associated with Bylaw No. 2068.
