The last few months have seen an increasing number of development proposals and applications being submitted to Saanich for our local area. At present, there are 29 active proposals on file with Saanich Planning, either within the boundaries of our Community Association or in an adjacent CA’s area. Our CA process for handling development applications includes opportunities for developers to present their plans to the neighbouring community at a meeting that the CA co-hosts so questions and concerns can be raised and addressed. Saanich’s process also includes the opportunity for the relevant Community Association to submit a letter to Planning about the application but residents are also encouraged to write directly to Planning and Council, cc’ing the QCHCA so we can incorporate your thoughts into our responses.
