Key updates included expanding the removal of minimum parking ratios for residential and commercial uses in the City Centre (while maintaining accessible and loading requirements), updating multi-family residential parking ratios in other areas, reducing visitor parking ratios, and modernizing bicycle parking, accessible parking, loading requirements, and cash-in-lieu provisions. New transportation demand management measures were also introduced. ### Commentary Source pages: 1–4 ## Commentary ### 2140 Caribou Drive The City of Langford proposes to amend the zoning regulations for 2140 Caribou Drive to permit the following uses; recreation facility, indoor and recreation facility, outdoor. The property was dedicated to the City as a condition of rezoning, as outlined in Section 6.69C.03(2)(a)(i) of Zoning Bylaw No. 300. As the intended use of the property is recreational, the proposed amendment would proactively align the zoning regulations with the City's planned use of the site. ### Zoning Bylaw No. 300 Following the adoption of Bylaw No. 2272, Staff have noticed minor clarifications that need to be addressed. Changes include: - Removing the requirement to have electric vehicle charging capabilities within a single-family homes, duplexes, and townhouses. This requirement has been cumbersome for both staff and Developers to work with, as most of these types of homes don’t typically require an electrical engineer, and have garages that will have electrical outlets as a standard feature that can be used for this purpose; - Clarifying how the long-term and oversized bike parking standards apply to single-family homes, duplexes, and townhomes; and - Clarifying terminology, parking standards for home occupations, visitor parking signage, and landscaping requirements in surface parking areas. In addition, Bylaw No. 2303 includes an update to the two-family dwelling definition to remove reference to “detached duplexes” and a new section to authorize Bylaw Enforcement and/or the Director of Planning the ability to issue an order to comply with requirements of Zoning Bylaw No. 300. This section did not exist in the bylaw previously and made it challenging for the City to issue orders to individuals who did not comply with Zoning Bylaw No. 300. ### Financial Implications Source pages: 1–4 ## Financial Implications There are no known financial implications at this time. ### Legal Implications Source pages: 1–4 ## Legal Implications The Public Hearing is waived in accordance with the Local Government Act and the City’s Public Notification Procedures Bylaw. ### Options Source pages: 1–4 ## Options ### Option 1 THAT Council give “Langford Zoning Bylaw No. 300, Amendment No. 769 (Omnibus No. 69 Text Amendments, including 2140 Caribou Drive, Landscaping, EV Charging, and Parking), Bylaw No. 2303, 2026", 1st, 2nd and 3rd reading. ### OR Option 2 THAT Council take no action with respect to “Langford Zoning Bylaw No. 300, Amendment No. 769 (Omnibus No. 69 Text Amendments, Including 2140 Caribou Drive, Landscaping, EV Charging, and Parking), Bylaw No. 2303, 2026". ### Submitted By Source pages: 1–4 ## Submitted By Matt Notley, Planner II, Community Planning and Development ### Concurrence Source pages: 1–4 ## Concurrence - Melisa Miles, Manager of Legislative Services - Donna Petrie, Senior Manager of Communications & Economic Development - Yari Nielsen, Director of Parks, Recreation and Facilities - Leah Stohmann, RPP, MCIP, Director of Community Planning and Development - Katelyn Balzer, P.Eng., Director of Engineering and Public Works - Michael Dillabaugh, CPA, CA, Director of Finance - Marie Watmough, Director of Legislative & Protective Services - Braden Hutchins, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer - Darren Kiedyk, Chief Administrative Officer **Attachments:** Bylaw No. 2303
