Connection of the recreational amenity lot to Trudie and Millstream Creek allows for a social gathering hub in the community. Reduce vehicle dependency by providing active transportation linkages (pedestrian and cycling connectivity) between homes, parkland and workspaces. [Image 1: Master-plan visual relating to placemaking, community amenities, and active transportation.] - Create a complete community with a balanced mix of business park employment space, residential homes, and recreational space. - Increase the supply of family-focused housing that enables a variety of people to live, work, and play in Langford. - Use landscape design to ensure a sensitive transition between Commercial, Residential, and Recreation uses. - Financial contribution and construction of upgraded Millstream roadway condition by adding new round-a-bout, bike lane, sidewalk, bus stop, and landscaped boulevard. ### Site Map and Proposal Source pages: 1–9 ## Site Map and Proposal Business Park - BP9 R2 Rezoning Area BP9 Amendment Sept. 6, 2022 [Image 2: Site map showing the Business Park - BP9, R2, Rezoning Area, and BP9 Amendment.] - Langford Heights is an 82-acre property that was rezoned in 2021. The rezoning allowed for diverse Business Park uses, an 8-acre recreational amenity parcel dedicated to the City of Langford, and an R2 residential subdivision of approximately 60 lots, referred to in this presentation as Madrona Ridge. - Completion of the R2 single family homes was a key component of the 2021 Rezoning and the project’s ability to deliver financial contributions, amenity lands and planned employment space, in alignment with the City of Langford’s economic goals. - With site servicing complete and many homes already occupied with young families, there is an opportunity to convert a small piece of unusable industrial-zoned land to residential use allowing for two additional R2 single family lots in the Madrona Ridge community. ### Location Context Source pages: 1–9 ## Location Context MILLSTREAM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TRUDIE BUS ROUTE 52 Colwood Exch / Bear Mountain THETIS LAKE REGIONAL PARK BUS ROUTE 57 Thetis Heights / Langford Exch MADRONA RIDGE [Image 3: Location map showing Millstream Elementary School, Thetis Lake Regional Park, Madrona Ridge, and nearby bus routes.] - The original zoning and traffic plan allowed for a total of 60-lots. This rezoning proposes a total of 56 lots. - The new bike lane, roundabout and sidewalks are complete on Millstream Road. - An emergency vehicle access road connecting the south cul-de-sac on Madrona Ridge with the city-owned recreational amenity parcel provides pedestrian connectivity from Madrona Ridge and Thetis Heights. - Multiple bus routes within walking distance such as Route 52 along Millstream Road and Route 57 along Treanor provide excellent connectivity to the Langford Exchange. ### BP9 / R2 Zoning Adjustment Source pages: 1–9 ## BP9 / R2 Zoning Adjustment APPROVED R2 ZONING AREA PROPOSED ZONING ADJUSTMENT [Image 4: Zoning map showing the approved R2 zoning area and proposed zoning adjustment.] - The rezoning seeks to adjust the BP9 and R2 zoning lines at the southern end of the Madrona Ridge subdivision to permit an additional 2 lots. - The subject land is not compatible with the existing BP-9 zoning. Rezoning the lands to R2, consistent with the surrounding single-family lots, will bring zoning continuity and allow the overall subdivision to be completed in a cohesive manner. ### Consistent with Approved Rezoning Intention Source pages: 1–9 ## Consistent with Approved Rezoning Intention - The final residential lot count being proposed is fifty-six (56) and is within the sixty (60) lots approved in the 2021 rezoning. - No change to traffic loads compared to the original, sixty (60) lot approval. - 32 boulevard trees have been planted along the new road. - Pedestrian and cycling connectivity to future adjacent employment opportunities in the business park and convenient access to the recreational lot. ### Family-focused Housing Source pages: 1–9 ## Family-focused Housing [Image 5: Visual associated with the family-focused housing discussion and figure 17.] - This proposal assists to alleviate the housing crisis by contributing to dwindling supply of new “family sized housing” as detailed in figure 17. Langford residents have noted a preference for new single family homes because new homes are easier to maintain, per the Langford Housing Needs Assessment published in 2020. - Ground-oriented detached homes and duplexes provide for yard space for families to access their immediate outdoor environment. - Single-family homes create opportunities for basement suites, supporting multigenerational living and providing mortgage-helper income that can improve overall affordability. ### Thank You Source pages: 1–9 ## Thank You On behalf of our team, Thank You.
