SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA

The subject property is approximately two acres in size and located on the northeast corner of
Gwendolynn Drive and Klahanie Drive. The site is predominately treed, with a large, cleared area in the
centre where the existing single-family home is located. The applicant has submitted an arborist report
with their application that will be discussed later in this report. The surrounding neighbourhood is made
up of predominately single-family homes on lots varying in size from larger acreages to smaller, 400 m2
sized lots. The Olympic View master planned community is located directly to the east and is zoned for a
wide variety of housing types inclusive of single-family homes, duplexes, townhouses, apartments, and
assisted living. They are also permitted a wide variety of services and commercial uses such as, but not
limited to, bakery, cultural facility, group daycares, business support services, restaurants, indoor and
outdoor recreation, and retail stores. Gwendolynn Drive will be extended into the Olympic View lands as
part of their development, which will connect through to Latoria Rd and Veterans Memorial Parkway via
their internal road network.

A new elementary school is under construction and will be located approximately 350 m away at the
corner of Latoria and Klahanie.  School District No 62 has been made aware of this application such that
they can consider the proposed increase in density in this area as part of their long-range facility planning.

Willing Park is located approximately 900 m away from the subject property and has a walking trail, open
grass field, and an enclosed off-leash area. The Olympic View development is intended to have a
neighbourhood scale playground and park approximately 300 m away from the subject property.

Council may wish to note that 898 and 914 Klahanie Drive, west of the site, is currently going through a
rezoning process to allow for 58 townhouses. The Public Hearing for the application occurred on April
17th, 2023, and Council gave 2nd and 3rd reading to the bylaw in the same meeting.
COUNCIL POLICY
OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN

The Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw No. 1200 designated the subject properties as Neighbourhood,
which is 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.

A Concept for Neighbourhood Areas
The Neighbourhood OCP designation has an overall density objective of 16 units per acre. The proposal
put forward by the applicant equates to approximately 9 units per acre, well within the objective. The
Neighbourhood area also calls for a diversity of housing types, which is achieved through this proposal
through the proposed inclusion of single-family homes with secondary suites, and townhouses.

SOUTH LANGFORD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN (SLNP)

The South Langford Neighbourhood Plan designates 798 Gwendolynn Drive as Large Lot Residential. This
designation calls for a maximum density of 4 units per acre. As noted above, the applicant’s proposal has
a density of 9 units per acre which does not meet the definition of Large Lot Residential within the South
Langford Neighbourhood Plan.

Council may wish to note that the South Langford Neighbourhood Plan precedes the City’s Official
Community Plan. At the time, the SLNP was retained within the design guidelines as a reference. Council
may wish to note that zoning is required to comply with the OCP, but is not required to comply with the
design guidelines (including the SLNP).

DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREAS
The subject property is located in the High Fire Hazard Area and will require a Wildfire Hazard Assessment
completed by a registered professional forester as part of the development permit application, should
this rezoning be approved. The property also contains small portions of both the Potential Habitat and
Biodiversity Area (pink) and Riparian Area (green), as shown below in Figure 2.

Figure 2 – Demonstration of Riparian Area (green) and Habitat and Biodiversity Area (pink)


In addition to the Wildfire Hazard Assessment, the applicant will also need to submit a report from a
registered professional biologist to address the Potential Habitat and Biodiversity and Riparian Areas as
part of their development permit application. Council may wish to note that the applicant’s proposed non-
disturbance area covers approximately half of the Habitat and Biodiversity Area. Council may also wish to
note that the City’s Riparian mapping accounts for all areas within 43 m of a watercourse which exceeds
the Provincial requirement of 30 m.

LOW CARBON CONCRETE
In accordance with Council’s Low Carbon Concrete Policy POL-0167-PLAN, Council may wish to require to
the applicant to utilize ready-mix concrete that meets or exceeds the weighted average Global Warming
Potential targets based on Concrete BC Baseline (average) mix data for the construction of the proposed
development.

COMMENTARY:
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

The applicant is seeking to rezone 798 Gwendolynn Drive to the R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential)
Zone to allow for the development of six single family homes, a townhouse strata containing 12 units, and
a common property non-disturbance area equal to 30% of the lot.

Figure 3 – Proposed Site Plan


The six single family homes are intentionally located at the front of the site along Gwendolynn Drive to
provide continuity with the Olympic View development abutting the property to the east.  This portion of
the Olympic View development along the extension of Gwendolynn will be subdivided into lots containing
single-family homes. The single-family lot sizes proposed as part of this application are all at least 400 m2,
in accordance with the R2 zone regulations, and are designed to contain 3 bedrooms and a secondary
suite for flexibility. If they are to include a secondary suite, a minimum of three parking spaces must be
provided on the property. The applicant’s current proposal demonstrates a double wide driveway and
doublewide garage which can accommodate four vehicles. These details would be confirmed in the
required form and character development permit and checked again at the time of building permit. The
single-family homes do not require any variances to the zone, and each provide ample backyard space
with depths in excess of 5.5 m.

The townhouse site is tucked behind the single-family lots and is accessed by a strata road located
between proposed single-family lots 5 and 6. The townhouse development is proposed as three blocks of
4 units each. Each unit is proposed with a single car garage and a driveway at least 5.5 m in length which
allows for two cars to be parked. In addition, the site includes three visitor parking spaces. Council may
wish to request that the applicant register a Section 219 Covenant securing that the garages of both the
townhouses and single-family homes are not used for storage in a manner that prohibits the parking of
vehicles. As the strata road is less than 90 meters, no two-point turnaround is required. The applicant has
submitted a fire truck movement drawing showing how the truck can maneuver through the site.

The units are designed with three bedrooms, making them a good housing option for families. The layout
of the townhouses allows for at least a 4 meters depth backyard space for each unit, which exceeds the
Design Guideline suggestion of a minimum 3 meters depth. To increase the livability of the units, the
applicant has included rooftop patios to each townhouse. Council may wish to note that secondary suites
are not permitted within townhouses.

As townhouses aren’t a permitted use on every R2 zoned lot, the applicant is requesting a text amendment
to the zone to allow for a maximum of 12 townhouses specifically on 798 Gwendolynn Drive. Currently
the R2 zone allows townhouses on five different properties throughout Langford. The townhouses would
be subject to the regulations of the R2 zone, inclusive of setback, height, and lot coverage. Within the
Density of Development section of the zone, the bylaw could limit the number of units to a maximum of
12.

The alternative to this would be split-zoning the property so the townhouse site is zoned RT1 (Residential
Townhouse 1). Council may wish to note that split-zoning the site would limit their ability to set a
maximum number of units. Given this, staff believe a text amendment to the R2 zone would be the best
approach.

While both the single family and townhouse portions of the development will be subject to the City’s Form
and Character Development Permit process and must comply with the applicable Design Guidelines, the
applicant intends to go a step further with their own design covenant. This is the same design covenant
applied to all lots within the Olympic View development. The general design theme is inspired by mid-
century modern designs in a contemporary style, and with a strong bond to the natural landscape. The
applicant has submitted renderings for both of their proposed housing types seen in Figures 4 and 5. The
design covenant also speaks to providing EV-charger ready infrastructure within garages and encourages
Step Code 4 and Passive House designs.

The applicant is proposing that 30% of the property be protected by a non-disturbance covenant
registered on strata common property within the townhouse site. The proposed non-disturbance area
flanks the north property line abutting 893 Klahanie and the western property line abutting Klahanie
Drive. This creates a privacy buffer to the neighbour to the north and retains the treed corridor look of
Klahanie Drive. The Parks Department has suggested that it be retained privately through the strata as it
would be best left as undisturbed greenspace versus active recreation parkland. By having the strata
retain it as part of their common property, they would be responsible for the associated maintenance
costs instead of the City. The City has found that greenspace protected through covenants held by strata
developments as common property has historically worked much better than protected greenspace on
individual private lots with single family homes. The collective ownership model lends itself to better
stewardship versus individual owners who may be more inclined to encroach into the non-disturbance
areas with garden sheds, trampolines, etc. Council may wish to secure that 30% of the property is fenced
and protected through a Section 219 Covenant.

While 30% of the property is slated to be protected through a non-disturbance covenant, removal of
mature trees will still be required for the development to proceed. The applicant has submitted an arborist
report, which is attached to this report for reference, assessing all trees on and off site that may be
impacted in order to determine their potential for retention. The arborist assessed 211 trees and found
that 133 would need to be removed, 63 could be retained, and 15 are considered “TBD” depending on
the extent of the required site preparation and blasting. The arborist notes that 44 of the trees to be
removed are located within the City’s road right-of-way along Gwendolynn and Klahanie. Council may
wish to note that these trees will be impacted regardless of the applicant’s proposal at 798 Gwendolynn,
as Council has previously required frontage improvements through the rezoning of the Olympic View lands
in 2022. To improve pedestrian connection and safety, these works call for a sidewalk or minimum 3 m
multi-use paved trail, boulevard, and streetlights along Gwendolynn and a multi-use gravel road edge trail
behind a split rail fence along Klahanie, all of which will require tree removal.

The arborist has suggested that tree protection measures be implemented and that all excavation within
the critical root zones of the trees to be retained or with “TBD” status should be done under the
supervision of the arborist. Council may wish to secure this through a Section 219 Covenant.

MULTI-MODAL NETWORK

As noted, the frontage improvements have already been required through the rezoning of the Olympic
View lands in 2022. These works include a sidewalk or minimum 3 m multi-use paved trail, boulevard, and
streetlights along Gwendolynn and a multi-use gravel road edge trail behind a split rail fence along
Klahanie. Although these are already secured through a previous rezoning, Council may wish to secure
them again in a covenant to ensure whichever site develops first completes the required works.

Also as noted, as the Olympic View lands develop, Gwendolynn Dr will be extended and a connection to
Latoria Rd and Veterans Memorial Parkway will be created via their internal road.

While no dedicated bike lanes are existing or planned in front of the site, bikes are permitted on the multi-
use trails which will provide access to the new school at Latoria and Klahanie.

As per the site plan, driveway access to the single-family homes will occur off Gwendolynn Drive, as will
the access to the strata townhouse development. The Director of Engineering has noted that no Traffic
Impact Assessment is required, and the property falls outside of the 800 m highway buffer that requires
Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure approval.

BC Transit bus stops are located near the development site, and provide service to 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. It’s anticipated that as the population in this
neighbourhood grows, transit service will improve.

INFRASTRUCTURE

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
The applicant will be required to provide a stormwater management plan to the satisfaction of the
Director of Engineering prior to the issuance of a building permit or subdivision approval, whichever is
first. As part of their application, the applicant has submitted a stormwater technical memo outlining how
they plan to adequately manage stormwater on-site. This memo has been reviewed and approved by the
Director of Engineering.

SEWER
There is currently no sewer main along the frontage of the property. Prior to subdivision approval or
building permit, whichever is first, the sewer main must be extended and any sewer extensions or
modifications within the municipal road allowance will be constructed by West Shore Environmental
Services at the applicant’s expense.

NEIGHBOURHOOD IMPACT

POTENTIAL NUISANCES
As has been past practice in this neighbourhood, 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 close proximity 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.

CONSTRUCTION PARKING AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
Council may wish to require a Construction Parking and Traffic 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.

NEIGHBOURHOOD CONSULTATION
The applicant notified direct neighbours of their proposal and has posted additional information on the
OV Living website.

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 responsible 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.

COUNCIL’S AMENITY CONTRIBUTION POLICY

The amenity contributions that apply as per Council’s current Affordable Housing and Amenity
Contribution Policy are summarized in Table 4 below, based the current plans and total density of 6 single
family homes and 12 townhouses.

LEGAL IMPLICATIONS:
Should Council choose to proceed with consideration of this rezoning, a Public Hearing will be scheduled
in accordance with the requirements of the Local Government Act.

The amenity contributions specified in Table 4 above will be incorporated into a Bylaw and will be
payable at the time of building permit/subdivision approval along with the current Development Cost
Charges specified in the various DCC Bylaws.

Council’s other conditions of approval would be registered in a Section 219 Covenant in priority of all
other charges on title prior to consideration of Bylaw Adoption.

OPTIONS:
Option 1

INTRODUCTION
Talmack Urban Forestry Consultants Limited was engaged to complete a tree inventory (in spreadsheet
form) of tree resources located at the following proposed project:
Site:
798 Gwendolynn Drive
Municipality
City of Langford
Client Name:
OV Partners Inc
Dates of Site Visit:
Friday, March 3, 2023
Site Conditions:
1 Forested residential lot with existing single-family houses
proposed for demolition, site rezoning, and construction of multi-
unit residential building.
Weather During Site Visit: Overcast, Rainy
The purpose of this document is to provide a preliminary assessment of retention for inventoried tree
resources relative to the proposed project. Our understanding of the proposed project is informed by the site
concept plan (February 16, 2023)- prepared by BoForm Design & Build and the site survey (April 5, 2023)-
prepared by Underhill Geomatics Ltd.
2.
TREE INVENTORY METHODOLOGY
The data collected during the tree inventory includes tree species, size (d.b.h), canopy radius, existing
health and structural characteristics based on a visual examination, and general remarks and
recommendations. For discussion purposes, retention statuses were included in the inventory—these
should be considered for coordination only, as the plans we have reviewed are preliminary. A limited
visual (level 1) risk assessment was performed for each inventoried on-site tree.
3.
TREE INVENTORY DEFINITIONS
Tag: Tree identification number on a metal tag attached to tree with nail or wire, generally at eye level. Trees on
municipal or neighboring properties are not tagged.
OS: trees located off project site, expected to be within influencing distance of the proposed work zone
DBH: Diameter at breast height – diameter of trunk, measured in centimetres at 1.4m above ground level. For
trees on a slope, it is taken at the average point between the high and low side of the slope.
* Measured over ivy
~ Approximate due to inaccessibility or on neighbouring property
Dripline: Indicates the radius of the crown spread measured in metres to the dripline of the longest limbs.
Relative Tolerance Rating: Relative tolerance of the tree species to construction related impacts such as root
pruning, crown pruning, soil compaction, hydrology changes, grade changes, and other soil disturbance. This
rating does not consider individual tree characteristics, such as health and vigor. Three ratings are assigned
based on our knowledge and experience with the tree species: Poor (P), Moderate (M) or Good (G).
Critical Root Zone: A calculated radial measurement in metres from the trunk of the tree. It is the optimal size of
tree protection zone and is calculated by multiplying the DBH of the tree by 10, 12 or 15 depending on the tree’s

Relative Tolerance Rating. This methodology is based on the methodology used by Nelda Matheny and James R.
Clark in their book “Trees and Development:
A Technical Guide to Preservation of Trees During Land Development.”
•
15 x DBH = Poor Tolerance of Construction
•
12 x DBH = Moderate
•
10 x DBH = Good
To calculate the critical root zone, the DBH of multiple stems is considered the sum of 100% of the diameter of the
3 largest stems. It should be noted that these measures are solely mathematical calculations that do not consider
factors such as restricted root growth, limited soil volumes, age, crown spread, health, or structure (such as a
lean).
TBD: “To Be Determined.” The retention status of the tree will be determined by the project arborist during the
supervised excavation of the proposed infrastructure within the CRZ of said tree. It is possible that the excavation
will cause damage to root tissue beyond tolerable levels to the point where the structure and health become
compromised, and the tree must be removed.
Health Condition:
•
Poor - significant signs of visible stress and/or decline that threaten the long-term survival of the
specimen
•
Fair - signs of stress
•
Good - no visible signs of significant stress and/or only minor aesthetic issues
Structural Condition:
•
Poor - Structural defects that have been in place for an extended period of time to the point that
mitigation measures are limited
•
Fair - Structural concerns that are possible to mitigate through pruning
•
Good - No visible or only minor structural flaws that require no to very little pruning
Suitability ratings are described as follows:
Rating: Suitable.
●
A tree with no visible or minor health or structural defects, is tolerant to changes to the growing
environment and is a possible candidate for retention provided that the critical root zone can be
adequately protected.
Rating: Conditional.
●
A tree with good health but is a species with a poor tolerance to changes to its growing environment or
has a structural defect(s) that would require that certain measures be implemented, in order to consider it
suitable for retention (i.e., retain with other codominant tree(s), structural pruning, mulching,
supplementary watering, etc.)
Rating: Unsuitable.
●
A tree with poor health, a major structural defect (that cannot be mitigated using ANSI A300 standards),
or a species with a poor tolerance to construction impacts, and unlikely to survive long term (in the
context of the proposed land use changes).
Retention Status:
•
Remove - Not possible to retain given proposed construction plans
•
Retain - It is possible to retain this tree in the long-term given the proposed plans and
information available. This is assuming our recommended mitigation measures are followed
•
Retain * - See report for more information regarding potential impacts

4.2.
RETENTION AND REMOVAL OF MUNICIPAL TREES
There are 55 municipal trees located along the Gwendolynn Dr. and Klahanie Dr. frontages around the
subject site. 11 of the inventoried municipal trees may be possible for retention provided the tree protection
methods outlined in this document are followed. The remaining 44 municipal trees are necessary for removal
to accommodate the proposed project.
*Note: It is our understanding based on information provided by the client that there are infrastructure
upgrades proposed along the Gwendolynn Drive and Klahanie Drive frontages of the subject site relating to
a project on an adjacent property. This is likely to require removal of municipal trees in advance of the 798

Gwendolynn project and affect the retention status of some municipal trees identified for retention herein.
We have not reviewed these frontage upgrade plans as it is our understanding that they are not within the
scope of the application at 798 Gwendolynn Drive.
4.3.
RETENTION AND REMOVAL OF PRIVATE OFF-SITE TREES
There are 14 off-site trees inventoried that are located within influencing distance of the proposed project. 12
off-site may be possible for retention provided the tree protection methods outlined are followed. The
remaining 2 off-site trees have their retention to be determined based on extend of blasting required to build
proposed development. Owners of off-site trees must be notified and consent to their trees’ potential removal
prior to work commencing.
•
“To be determined”: Retention status of 1350 and 1351 will be determined by the project arborist
pending provision of blasting zone area information required for proposed project. Blasting, excavation or
fill placement within the root zone of these trees could cause damage to root tissue beyond tolerable
levels to the point where their structure and health become compromised, and the tree must be removed.
Project arborists should be made aware of blasting details as this information becomes available and
prior to work commencing on site.

There are 211 on-site trees with a DBH greater than or equal to 20cm, located on the proposed subject
property. There are 63 on-site trees located on the subject property that may be possible for retention
provided tree protection fencing be installed according to Appendix A and all blasting occur outside of
protected root zone. 133 on-site trees (greater than or equal to 20cm DBH) are necessary for removal to
accommodate the proposed project. 15 of the on-site trees have their retention status to be determined
based on extend of blasting zone required to build proposed development. Once blasting details are
available there may be some tree’s that need additional consideration for their retention suitability as edge
trees on the project side of the “green buffer” area.
5.
IMPACT MITIGATION
Tree Protection Barrier: The areas surrounding the trees to be retained should be isolated from the
construction activity by erecting protective barrier fencing (see Appendix A for municipal barrier
specifications). Where possible, this fencing should be erected at the perimeter of the critical root zone. The
barrier fencing to be erected must be a minimum of 4 feet in height, of solid frame construction that is
attached to wooden or metal posts. A solid board or rail must run between the posts at the top and the
bottom of the fencing. This solid frame can then be covered with flexible snow fencing. The fencing must be
erected prior to the start of any construction activity on site (i.e., demolition, excavation, construction), and
remain in place through completion of the project. Signs should be posted around the protection zone to
declare it off limits to all construction related activity. The project arborist must be consulted before this
fencing is removed or moved for any purpose.
Arborist Supervision: All excavation occurring within the critical root zones of trees to be retained or with
retention status “to be determined” should be completed under supervision by the project arborist. Any
severed or severely damaged roots must be pruned back to sound tissue to reduce wound surface area and
encourage rapid compartmentalization of the wound. In particular, the following activities should be
completed under the direction of the project arborist:
Arborist Role:  It is the responsibility of the client or their representative to contact the project arborist for
the purpose of:
•
Locating the barrier fencing
•
Reviewing the report with the project foreman or site supervisor
•
Locating work zones, where required
•
Supervising any excavation within the critical root zones of trees to be retained
•
Reviewing and advising of any pruning requirements for machine clearances
Review and site meeting:  Once additional project information is provided, it is important that the project
arborist meet with the principals involved in the project to review the information contained herein. It is also
important that the arborist meet with the site foreman or supervisor before any site clearing, tree removal,
tree pruning, demolition, or other construction activity occurs and to confirm the locations of the tree
protection barrier fencing.

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
This arboricultural preliminary field assessment was prepared by Talmack Urban Forestry Consultants Ltd. for the

than the Client without the prior written consent of Talmack Urban Forestry Consultants Ltd. Any unauthorized use
of this report, or any part hereof, by a third party, or any reliance on or decisions to be made based on it, are at
the sole risk of such third parties. Talmack Urban Forestry Consultants Ltd. accepts no responsibility for damages,
if any, suffered by any third party because of decisions made or actions based on this report, in whole or in part.
Arborists are professionals who examine trees and use their training, knowledge, and experience to recommend
techniques and procedures that will improve a tree’s health and structure or to mitigate associated risks. Trees are
living organisms whose health and structure change and are influenced by age, continued growth, climate,
weather conditions, and insect and disease pathogens. Indicators of structural weakness and disease are often
hidden within the tree structure or beneath the ground. The arborist’s review is limited to a visual examination of
tree health and structural condition, without excavation, probing, resistance drilling, increment coring, or aerial
examination. There are inherent limitations to this type of investigation, including, without limitation, that some tree
conditions will inadvertently go undetected. The arborist’s review followed the standard of care expected of
arborists undertaking similar work in British Columbia under similar conditions. No warranties, either express or
implied, are made as to the services provided and included in this report.
The findings and opinions expressed in this report are based on the conditions that were observed on the noted
date of the field review only. The Client recognizes that passage of time, natural occurrences, and direct or
indirect human intervention at or near the trees may substantially alter discovered conditions and that Talmack
Urban Forestry Consultants Ltd. cannot report on, or accurately predict, events that may change the condition of
trees after the described investigation was completed.
It is not possible for an Arborist to identify every flaw or condition that could result in failure, nor can he/she
guarantee that the tree will remain healthy and free of risk. The only way to eliminate tree risk entirely is to remove
the entire tree. All trees retained should be monitored on a regular basis. Remedial care and mitigation measures
recommended are based on the visible and detectable indicators present at the time of the examination and
cannot be guaranteed to alleviate all symptoms or to mitigate all risk posed.
Immediately following land clearing, grade changes or severe weather events, all trees retained should be
reviewed for any evidence of soil heaving, cracking, lifting or other indicators of root plate instability. If additional
information is discovered in the future during such events or other activities, Talmack Urban Forestry Consultants
Ltd. should be requested to re-evaluate the conclusions of this report and to provide amendments as required
prior to any reliance upon the information presented herein.
