COMMENTS
The applicant wishes to rezone the property from R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) to RS2
(Residential Small Lot 2) so that the two proposed lots will comply with the minimum lot size
requirement for subdivision. By changing the zoning of the property, the minimum lot size for
subdivision will be reduced from 550 m 2 (5,920 ft 2 ) to 300 m 2 (3,230 ft 2 ).
The subject property is part of a strata development, which may pose difficulties when the
second lot is created. The applicant is aware that issues relating to the subject property being
part of a strata development will have to be resolved before subdivision approval can be given
In May 2006, Council passed a resolution to place all applications for new developments north
ofthe Trans Canada Highway on hold. However, as the proposed density is the same as that
permitted in the current zoning and the new zoning will not allow for any additional units, this
rezoning will not lead to an increase in density Therefore, Council may wish to proceed with
consideration of this rezoning application despite their 2006 resolution
COMPLIANCE WITH OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN
The proposed rezoning will allow for infill to take place in an existing settled area without leading
to an increase in overall density. The density will remain low and the proposed subdivision most
likely will not change the residential character ofthe neighbourhood.
GREEN TRANSPORTATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Two bus routes run along Setchfield Avenue, providing connections to Western Speedway and
the Westshore shopping centre as well as other bus routes. A bus stop is located in front of the
school, approximately 650 metres (2,133 feet) from the site.
Sidewalks run along Ironwood Court and throughout Bear Mountain. Whisperwind Place does
not have sidewalks but these do exist on the corner of Shaw and Arngask Avenues and along
Setchfield Avenue to the bus stop and beyond
As the new dwelling was developed as a duplex, three parking spaces were required. With the
proposed zoning, the parking requirement is two spaces for each unit.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND PUBLIC SAFETY
As part ofthe development permit application, staff received reports addressing the fire safety
and environmental concerns for the subject property. The recommendations of these reports
formed part of the development permit, which was issued in October 2008, and the conditions of
the permit still apply.
BUILDING AND SITE DESIGN
The current use on the property is a duplex and the proposed use will be two small lots.
Therefore, Council may wish to ask that the applicant register a covenant on title which prohibits
secondary suites in either building
The distance between the two buildings is 6.02 metres (20 feet). In order to subdivide the
property, the applicant is seeking a variance from the rear yard setback requirement for both
dwellings from 6 metres (20 feet) to approximately 3 metres (10 feet). This variance application
(DVP-10-05) will go to the Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee and to Council
P12

Subject: Z-09-25 and DVP-10-05 for 962 Whisperwind Place & 990 Ironwood Court
22 March 2010
Page 4 of 9
for their resolution at the same time as the rezoning application. Issuance of the variance will be
scheduled for the next Council meeting after the bylaw to rezone the property is adopted
SUSTAINABLE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Council may wish to ask that the applicant submit a stormwater management plan and that this
plan be reviewed and approved by staff, prior to public hearing, in order to address the drainage
concerns. If the stormwater management plan recommends that measures be implemented to
mitigate any concerns identified, Council may wish to require that the applicant complete these
measures as part ofthe subdivision process This may be secured in a covenant, prior to bylaw
adoption.
GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
Both units are currently connected to the sewer system. The existing unit is connected to
municipal sewers through the strata and the new unit is serviced off of Ironwood Court.
As required by the Subdivision and Servicing Bylaw, the applicant will provide full frontage
improvements on Ironwood Court. Council may wish to secure the frontage improvements
through a covenant, to be registered prior to bylaw adoption
FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND DENSITY BONUSING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Council's Affordable Housing, Park and Amenity Contribution Policy states that new
developments should provide one in ten single family lots towards the Affordable Housing
program. As the proposal consists of only two lots, the policy will not apply to this rezoning
application.
OPEN SPACE CONTRIBUTIONS
Current Council policy requires that the applicant provide a minimum public open space
dedication to the City of 10% of total parcel land area, or 95.9 m 2 (1,032 ft 2 ) in total. Council,
however, may wish to accept a cash-in-lieu contribution of 10% of the assessed value of the
land after rezoning, payable at the time of subdivision Therefore, Council may wish to ask that
the applicant have an appraisal done, prior to First Reading, to determine the market value of
the land after rezoning and that the amount, equal to 10% of the total value of the property, be
dedicated toward the General Amenity Reserve Fund, at the time of subdivision, as cash in-lieu
of open space.
AMENITY CONTRIBUTIONS
The Affordable Housing, Park and Amenity Contribution Policy designates the subject property
as being in the North Langford Area. Accordingly, a contribution toward various Reserve Funds,
as shown in Table 4, totaling $7,300 per unit, is required.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Rezoning the subject property to permit higher densities of development may increase the
assessed value of the property, and this will increase municipal revenue As the applicant will
connect the property to municipal sewers, and as the applicant will contribute to frontage
improvements, the direct capital costs to the municipality, associated with this development, will
be negligible However, maintenance costs may offset most or all ofthe additional revenues.

respect to the property at 962 Whisperwind Place and 990 Ironwood Court
That Council:

iii) $600 per unit toward the ALR Acquisition Fund; and
iv) $500 per unit toward the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund;
b) That the applicant have an appraisal done, prior to first reading, to determine the

COMMENTS
III. That no secondary suites are permitted in either dwelling,
2. Proceed with D VP-10-05 to vary the rear yard setback for both dwellings from 6 metres
(20 feet) to 3 metres (10 feet).
As per item b) of Council resolution, the applicant is required to contribute cash in lieu of open
space dedication, based on 10% of the assessed value of the land (per Council Policy). The
applicant has offered to contribute $20,000 toward the General Amenity Reserve Fund, which
represents approximately 8% ofthe assessed value for 2010. Council may wish to note that with
this rezoning proposal, the benefit for the applicant is that the property could be subdivided,
there will be no increase in the number of permitted dwelling units as the second dwelling is
already permitted under the current R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) zoning. Council may
wish to accept this contribution of $20,000, at the time of subdivision, in lieu of open space
dedication.
Staff have prepared Bylaw No. 1282 in accordance with Council's resolution of April 6, 2010. As
the applicant has fulfilled the condition that must precede first reading of this bylaw, Council may
now wish to give Bylaw No. 1282 first reading.
A public hearing, in accordance with requirements ofthe Local Government Act, will be required
if Council wishes to proceed further with Bylaw No. 1282.
OPTIONS
That Council:
1. Give first reading to Bylaw No. 1282 and that the applicant contribute $20,000 toward
the General Amenity Reserve Fund, at the time of subdivision;
2. Take no action at this time with respect to Bylaw No 1282;

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN
The Official Community Plan (OCP) (Bylaw No. 1200) designates the subject property as
"Neighbourhood", as 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; and
Transit stops are located where appropriate.
Objective 3.9 Permit sensitive infill development.
Policy 3.9.1 Encourage alternative housing types such as coach housing, row housing, live/work
units and townhouses that diversify the housing stock.
Policy 3.9.2 Permit small lot subdivision and clustered densification in established areas.
Policy 3.9.3 An overall density objective of 40 units per hectare (16 units per acre) for infill
development in Neighbourhood designated area will guide choices about density. Ensure
buildings are sited to complement the type, use and character of adjacent buildings and ensure
private outdoor spaces for adjacent properties are respected.

The subject property is located within an area designated as "Intensive Residential" within the
South Langford Neighbourhood Plan (Appendix "R" of Bylaw No 300), which is defined as the
following,
Intensive Residential - applies to areas where the availability of municipal
services allows for a variety of residential development that is more intensive
than Urban Residential, and that may include single family residential dwellings
without secondary suites, townhousing and attached housing. A maximum
density of one unit per 250 m 2 (2690 ft 2 ) is applicable.
The proposed development foresees a lower residential density of one unit per 829 m 2 (8,924 m
ft 2 ), which is significantly lower that than what is specified in the South Langford Neighbourhood
Plan design guidelines.
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREAS
The subject property has been included within the designated Interface Wildfire Hazard
Development Permit Area. A development permit to address the interface fire hazard will be
required prior to subdivision.
The subject property is not designated as an environmentally sensitive riparian development
permit area. However, because of its close proximity of the subject property to Firehall Creek
(which flows along northern boundary) this development proposal is subject to the provisions of
the Provincial Fish Protection Act.
COMMENTS
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
The applicant is proposing to subdivide (see plan attached) the property into three conventional
sized (+550 m2) lots that would be zoned R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) and six small
lots (± 300 m2) that would be zoned RS2 (Residential Small Lot 2) The small lots would be
situated along the northerly portion of the subject property, adjacent to lots fronting Ernhill Drive.
Two of the conventional R2 lots would front Walfred Road (the existing dwelling at 930 Wafred
Road would be retained on one of these lots) An extension of Ernhill Drive would separate the
R2 zoning from the RS2 lots.
The applicant is seeking a reduction in the front yard setback on the R2 lots from the required 6
m (20 ft) to 4.5 m (14.7 ft). This would situate the residential buildings on the R2 lots closer to
the Ernhill Drive extension, and not Walfred Road. Council may wish to consider granting this
variance for the residential portion of the dwelling only, thereby ensuring sufficient distance
between the road edge and the face of a garage door to allow for parking.
In order to extend Ernhill Drive to the subject property and ensure that road curves meet
engineering standards, the applicant is proposing that a small portion of Ernhill park be
dedicated as road (see site plan attached). Although this small piece of property will remain as

public land, it will be in the form of road, not as park. Council may wish to require that the
applicant compensate the City for this loss of park land.

The proposed development conforms to the OCP's requirements regarding the form of
development, as single-family housing is included within the permitted types of development.
The residential density ofthe proposed subdivision would be approximately 12 units per hectare
(4.9 units per acre), which is substantially lower than the "overall density objective of 40 units
per hectare (16 units per acre)", as specified for infill in residential areas in the OCP. However,
the site characteristics of the subject property including its steep topography and close proximity
to riparian habitat areas associated with Fire Hall Creek reduce its development potential.
GREEN TRANSPORTATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE
The subject property is well situated to allow its future residents to take advantage of public
transit services. The subject property is served by BC Transit bus lines routed nearby on Sooke
Road.
In addition to BC Transit, access to the Galloping Goose Trail is within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the
subject property
SMART GROWTH PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development would take advantage of existing infrastructure including sanitary
sewer connections, road and other utility servicing that is already installed in the surrounding
residential area. Therefore, the proposed residential dwellings would require relatively less new
infrastructure to implement than other developments located in less built-up areas of the
community. The central location of the subject property also adds to its suitability for infill
development, as it will provide its future residents with easy access to public transit.
TRAFFIC AND PARKING
The applicant is proposing to extend Ernhill Drive through the adjacent property to the west (936
Walfred Road) to service the proposed eight new lots This road would then continue on to
serve lands to the east of the subject property. Given the future development potential of the
http://sharepoint/sites/ZoningOCP/Z-08-15/Shared Documents/PZ Report - 930 Walfred Aug 23 cfocx
P37

Subject: Z-08-15 -930 Walfred Road
August 23 rd . 2010
Page 5 of 10
lands to the east, the applicant is not intending to construct a cul-de-sac bulb on the subject
property. It is possible that the extension of Ernhill Drive would result in a cul-de-sac on the
neighbouring property. In the meantime, Council may wish to secure an adequate 2-point turn
around on the subject property. Council may therefore wish to require that the applicant agree,
by covenant, to provide a 2-point turn around on the subject property to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer prior to subdivision approval
Each dwelling in the R2 (One- and Two-Family) Residential zone is required to have 2 parking
spaces, as well as additional parking for secondary suites or home occupations (if these are to
be included in the dwelling). The applicant should be able to meet this requirement, and has not
indicated that he will either seek or require a parking variance, however Council may wish to
see a simple driveway and parking plan prior to Public Hearing which proves that off-street
parking can be provided in accordance with the zoning bylaw requirements
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The proposed development would not result in enough new lots being created to trigger
Council's policy with respect to the construction of a house for Langford's Affordable Housing
program Council policy indicates that an application of this size should contribute cash, as an
amenity for increased density on a per unit basis, to Langford's Affordable Housing Fund.
DRAINAGE AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Council may wish to note that an existing drainage course runs through the subject property,
taking water from Triangle Mountain to Firehall Creek (which feeds into Bilston Creek). It is this
drainage course which forms the basis for the Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area
(SPEA) that is discussed in the next section The applicant will be required, at the time of
subdivision, to provide either a storm sewer to accommodate drainage through the site, or
demonstrate how existing and future drainage flows can be accommodated within the existing
open channel system, including provision of accesses or areas for maintenance purposes and
install storm sewer through Ernhill Park.
STREAMSIDE PROTECTION AND ENHANCEMENT AREA (SPEA)
The applicant has submitted an environmental assessment report compiled by Susan Blundell
R.P.Bio. of ENKON Environmental Services which recommends a number of strategies to
protect the designated Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA).
Council may wish to note that each ofthe proposed six small lots (those lots situated on the
northern portion ofthe subject property) is impacted in some way by the SPEA for Firehall
Creek. Five of the building envelopes for these small lots will encroach into the SPEA to some
degree. This encroachment varies from 6.7m2 to 42.7 m7 in area on each ofthe five lots, and
allowing for a two metre setback behind these small lot homes includes a further of
encroachment of 105 m2 in the SPEA. The total encroachment into the SPEA is estimated to
be approximately 192 m2
The biologist's report suggests that encroachments into the SPEA are permissible, provided that
there is compensating habitat (SPEA) created. Council may wish to require that the applicant
implement the recommendations ofthe biologist's report, with respect to streamside protection
and enhancement, prior to subdivision. Given that this is not an environmental area that is

PARK, OPEN SPACE AND AMENITY CONTRIBUTIONS
The Affordable Housing, Park and Amenity Contribution Policy designates the subject property
within the South Langford Area. Accordingly, a contribution toward various Reserve Funds, as
shown in Table 6, totaling $7,300 per unit, is required.
The applicant is proposing to dedicate 570 m2 of land as an extension of Ernhill Park Council
may wish to receive this as a lot. This represents 9.8% ofthe subject property. Council may
wish to require that the applicant make a cash contribution to compensate for the park that is to
be converted into road way and the 0.2% required to meet Council policy (10%). Compensation
of $15,000 to 20,000 would be commensurate with the value of 0.2% ofthe land + the small
area of Ernhill Park to be dedicated as park.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Rezoning the subject property to permit higher densities of development may increase the
assessed value of the property, and this will increase municipal revenue. As the applicant will
connect the property to municipal sewers, and as the applicant will contribute to frontage
improvements, the direct capital costs to the municipality, associated with this development, will
be negligible However, maintenance costs may offset most or all ofthe additional revenues.

The Fleet Diving Unit (Pacific) [FDU(P)] is requesting Council's permission to host a portion of
the first annual "FDU (P) Christmas Hamper Turkey Run" within the City of Langford to raise
money for the WestShore Christmas Hamper Fund in order to provide families in need with a
turkey for their Christmas dinner.
Commentary
The first annual "FDU (P) Christmas Hamper Turkey Run" is set to take place on December 5,
2010. This will be an all-day event, which will start in Colwood at 9:00am, travel a total of 41
kilometers through Colwood and Langford and finish at approximately 3:00pm in Colwood (see
attached map).
There will be approximately 50 FDU(P) members escorted by Military Police/ RCMP vehicles
situated in the front and back end of those personnel running on the road(s). Other vehicles
participating on route will include the unit's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) truck, and a
large Canadian Forces bus. An application for a Bylaw 33 permit has been made.
Financial Implications
The FDU(P) is asking that Council waive the $35.00 permit fee and damage deposit. As this is
a Military event, the insurance is covered federally.
Legal Implications
With the adoption of the Traffic Bylaw on December 3, 1996, Council has jurisdiction over this
matter.

Your Worship,

On behalf of the men and women of Fleet Diving Unit Pacific (FDUP), I wish to make a
proposal that I consider will benefit the Langford community - my divers wish to take an
active role in raising funds for the WestShore Christmas Hamper Fund so that each
hamper may be filled with a turkey.
Most ofthe clearance divers employed at FDUP reside in Langford and are active
participants in community fundraising events such as the Easter Seal's 24 Hour Relay
and the delivery of Christmas Hampers in support ofthe aforementioned charitable
organization. That being said, we tend to rely on our superb athleticism and subscribe to
charitable events that are physically demanding or unique. Not only do we attract
significant attention, but it garners both the support and donations from impressed
onlookers. This year, my team would like to forefront the "FDUP Christmas Hamper
Turkey Run" throughout key areas/the streets of Langford, 5 December 2010 to evoke
Christmas Shopper interest and more importantly, to encourage donations. No doubt, this
is a huge challenge that requires further collaboration with all community stakeholders to
attain Council/your approval. To have this plan come to fruition, Lieutenant (N) Walter
Dubeau, the officer-in-charge ofthe event would like a moment of your Council's or key
staff member's time to divulge the unit's intent to attain the requisite approval to
progress. He may be contacted at 250-363-4975 or 250-363-4773.
We are very excited about this endeavour and more importantly, proud to be active
residents of Langford who wish to make Christmas merrier for our less fortunate
neighbours. We look forward to further discussion.
Yours truly,
Robert (Bob) Klein

Once again, November has been proclaimed as Adoption Awareness Month in British Columbia.
In your community and across the province, there are children who need adoptive families. This
month provides an opportunity for our respective governments to highlight the need for every
child to have a stable, permanent, loving and nurturing home - and acknowledge the many
families in the province that have been created through adoption.
Nearly 1,200 children in government care are currently available for adoption. Some of these
children are part ofa sibling group, some have special needs and some are teens. All of these
children deserve to have a family to belong to - someone to help them with their homework, to
attend their sports games, and to celebrate their successes, their birthdays and their milestones.
Even as adults we continue to look to our families for assistance and encouragement. Families
formed through adoption are no different. The bond of a permanent family supports and enriches
all family members, now and in the future.
During November, the Ministry of Children and Family Development works to enhance adoption
awareness and heighten recruitment efforts to find families for children in our continuing care.
Potential adoptive parents are ordinary people residing in neighbourhoods in every community.
They come from diverse backgrounds and they have a wide range of life experiences. They all
share the capacity and commitment to love a child. Single people, married couples and
alternative families can all become adoptive parents to a child in need of a loving home.
Throughout the province, there are a variety of community events and awareness displays to
promote the need for more parents and to celebrate our many adoptive families. For more
information, please contact the Adoptive Families Association of British Columbia
representative in your area; a contact list is enclosed. There are also five licensed adoption
agencies in British Columbia who contribute to both adoption awareness and the placement of
children. A contact list of these agencies is also enclosed.

FACTSHEET
November 2010 Ministry of Children and Family Development
ADOPTION AWARENESS MONTH
The Government of British Columbia has proclaimed November as Adoption Awareness Month.
The Ministry of Children and Family Development is taking this month-long opportunity to raise
awareness about children-in-care who are waiting for an adoptive home, and to recognize adoption
as a valued way to build a family.
KEY FACTS
• Children in the permanent care of B.C.'s Ministry of Children and Family Development may be
placed for adoption through the ministry. Permanent care occurs when the courts have
determined that the child cannot return to the care of their birth parents(s) and a Continuing
Custody Order has been granted.
• For children in continuing custody the ministry makes plans for permanency. These plans can
include:
> Adoption (including foster caregiver adoption: long-term caregivers are encouraged to
adopt).
> Transfer of custody: this transfers custody of a child to someone with a significant tie to
the child.
> Ensuring a child has life long connections with significant adults in their lives if adoption
or other permanency options are not in the child's best interest.
• An average of 300 children find permanent families through adoption each year. Last year, 291
children- and youth-in-care ofthe ministry found permanent homes. Still, there are close to
1,200 children with adoption as their plan of care who are waiting for a permanent family.
• Many ofthe children available for adoption are school-age. They may be siblings who need to
stay together. Some may have special placement needs due to difficult early childhood
experiences, prenatal exposure to alcohol or drugs, learning delays, or other developmental
challenges.
» Potential adoptive parents come from diverse backgrounds and have a range of life experiences.
Anyone who is interested in providing a loving, nurturing home is encouraged to apply to adopt.
The ministry strives to place children with families that preserve a child's ethnic and cultural
heritage. As culture is essential to a child's positive identity formation and preservation,
adoptive parents who reflect British Columbia's cultural diversity and adoptive parents who are
willing to maintain life-long connections with the child's cultural community are needed.
The number of Aboriginal children placed with Aboriginal families remains steady between
40 and 50 percent over the last five years - an increase from the 27 percent it was in 2000/01.
P66

• The ministry works with community partners (including the Adoptive Families Association of
BC) to increase the number of approved adoption homes for children-in-care. The Adoptive
Families Association is contracted to provide both pre- and post-adoptive support. They also
provide assistance with recruitment initiatives such as answering the 1-877-ADOPT-07
phone line.
POST-ADOPTION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
• The Post-Adoption Assistance Program supports families in meeting the unique needs of their
adopted families.
• In 2008/09, families received approximately $ 16.5 million in funding through the Post-Adoption
Assistance Program.
• In certain circumstances, maintenance funding is also available to help families in financial
need. Monthly maintenance rates are approximately $700 for a child under 12 and $800 for a
child over 12.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
• People interested in adopting are invited to speak to a social worker or attend an initial
information session in their area. If applicants are interested in pursuing the adoption process
they will receive more information regarding the needs of waiting children through Adoption
Education Program and through an in-depth home study process.
• To find out more about the adoption process and the needs of B.C.'s waiting children call
1 877 ADOPT 07 or visit www.mcf.gov.bc.ca/adoption.

Re: Te'mexw Treaty Advisory Committee
Office ofthe Mayor
At the Te'mexw Treaty Advisory Committee meeting of October 14, 2010, the Committee
adopted the following resolution:
That the Te'mexw Treaty Advisory Committee request that the City of Langford
invoice municipalities involved with the Treaty Advisory Committee the amount of
$1500.
The motion CARRIED.
The municipalities involved include Colwood, Esquimalt, Sooke, View Royal, Metchosin,
Saanich, Highlands and Langford.
Given the increased activity of the Treaty Negotiations this year, the TAC passed the
above resolution in recognition ofthe likelihood of increased costs as the negotiation
moves towards an Agreement in Principal this Fall or early next Spring and Final Treaty
Negotiations afterward.
Please add to next Council meeting agenda for funding approval.
If you require more information, I can be reached at 250 414-7101.

Subject: School Playground Fundraiser
Attention: City of Langford
I am the current PAC fundraiser at Savory Elementary school here in Langford As you may be aware we are an Inner
City School that relies heavily on fundraising and donations to enable our students the same opportunities as those
children in other communities. This year our PAC members are actively fundraising to purchase much needed playground
equipment to replace and or enhance our current dated equipment
I am interested to know if there is any opportunity to receive funding from the City of Langford to help us achieve our goal
We have so far raised approximately $6000.00 and require an additional $4000.00 to help us get started, this will allow us
to purchase one new piece of playground equipment, our plan is to give the children an option on 2-3 pieces of equipment
within our budget and then give them the final vote.
Any support or funding would be greatly appreciated by all parents and students at Savory Elementary School
If I have sent this message to the wrong department could you please pass it on to the correct division
Thank you in advance for your consideration,
Laurie Brydon

I am writing on behalf of the West Shore Rotary Club requesting your support for the 6 Annual
Christmas in City Centre Park event. Last year we moved the event to Langford's City Centre Park in
jSKfe
conjunction with the Annual Fire Truck Parade. Hundreds of people came to City Centre Park to see the
fire trucks and participate in all ofthe free family activities and entertainment. We are looking forward
to expanding the event this year and offering more activities for the kids.
The event is organized by the West Shore Rotary Club and West Shore Parks & Recreation with support
from the City of Langford and other local businesses and community groups.
As in the past, we are requesting sponsorship of up to $1500 to cover expenses for tents, heaters &
services such as Santa. We will provide you with copies of the receipts after the event.
Please notify me of your decision at your first opportunity - so that we may continue with plans for the
5 th Annual Christmas in City Centre Park.

Re: 2011 Operating Budget and Five Year Financial Plan (2011-2015) - Provisional
The Greater Victoria Public Library submits its Provisional 2011 Operating Budget and
Provisional Five Year Financial Plan for 2011 to 2015 for receipt by Council. As in previous
years, we will be seeking final approval in February.
The 2011 Operating Budget represents a 4.77% increase over 2010 and a total municipal
contribution increase of 6.4%. As in prior years, individual municipal contribution increases will
be based on assessment values and population statistics available in January and included in
the final budget submission.
Generally, the 2011 Operating Budget includes:
• Final pay equity increases on December 31, 2010, in accordance with the last collective
agreement (2007-2010);
• An operating surplus of $66,000 included in revenue, from the fiscal year ending December
31,2009;
• Sunday branch openings system-wide, including the Nellie McClung branch, for January to
April and October to December and at the Goudy branch year-round. The 2010 budget did
not include Sunday branch openings, except for the Central and Goudy branches. In
response to public demand, the GVPL Board approved the reinstatement of Sunday hours
not included in 2010 and the addition ofthe Nellie McClung branch Sunday hours;
• Facilities Plan projects identified in 2011 are for the lease of point of sale and self check
equipment ($87,348). These items reflect system-wide aspects of the Facilities Plan that
are the responsibility of GVPL to fund and that have been approved by the GVPL Board.
They will allow the library to start to move forward in the implementation of the Facilities
Plan, including building of the infrastructure required operationally to support the Plan.
Amounts for the Facilities Plan included in future years 2012-2015 are estimates of
additional GVPL costs, and do not represent a municipal commitment to funding the
municipal building components ofthe Facilities Plan;
• Various cost efficiencies, which contribute to the ability to reduce the municipal contribution
increase before Facilities Plan costs in 2011 from 6.1% on the previous 2010-2014 Five
Year Financial Plan to 5.7%.

The demand for public library services continues to increase as the pressures on the economy
continue. We therefore wish to extend our thanks to our ten municipal partners for your ongoing
collaboration and support of our services.
At this time, receipt of the enclosed provisional plan by Council is requested. Our new CEO,
Maureen Sawa, will be in touch in the coming month and will be looking for comments and
suggestions in terms of the future process to address any questions or provide additional
information in regards to the enclosed documents.

GREATER VICTORIA PUBLIC LIBRARY
Notes to the Five-Year Financial Plan (2011-2015)
1. The transfer from the operating reserve of $66,000 is the surplus realized in 2009.
2. The union settlement as negotiated by GVLRA and CUPE 410 resulted in final pay equity increases in 2011.
The 5-year plan assumes a general wage increase based on projected rate of inflation for planning purposes
and includes Sunday hours at 9 branches previously open, plus Sunday hours for the Nellie McClung District
Library beginning in 2011. The implementation of the District model requires an improvement to hours at this
location.
3. The target or budget guideline for core expenditure increases is one that does not exceed the rate of inflation
(estimated to be 2%) combined with the rate of increase in population of the member municipalities
(estimated at 2%). 2011 of this plan includes pay equity settlement increases resulting in higher core
increases for this year. 2012 of this plan is higher due to re-instatement of Sunday hours across the system
and a return to a cost of living increase to library materials as a core expense.
4. Strategic initiatives are in addition to core expenditures and include only new, incremental costs which haven't
already been approved. There are three initiatives included in this plan:
a. The Facilities Coordinator position is proposed to coordinate maintenance and improvement of all
branches and to oversee facilities contracts and services. GVPL has temporarily assigned a
unionized staff member to facilities-related duties as the library has grown to a level in which a
facilities position is necessary. This cost was previously included in 2009, but has been deferred
to 2012 due to other funding priorities.
b. The feasibility study is included in 2011 to assess GVPL's fundraising and development potential
with the goal of establishing alternative sources of funding. This strategic direction will be
dependent on articulating an organizational vision, as presented in the Facilities Plan (refer to
note 6).
c. Sunday hours at Nellie McClung District Library (refer to note 2).
5. Contributions showing for implementation of the Facilities Plan, approved by the Board on June 29, 2010,
reflect system-wide aspects of the Facilities Plan that are the responsibility of GVPL to fund. In 2011, those
costs include Point of Sale/Self-check equipment which are lease costs, rather than purchased costs as
identified in the Facilities Plan. These costs are rolled up into the capital lease payments in future years of
the Five-Year Plan. Radio Frequency Identification tags on library materials, Signage, Custom Shelving, etc.
are noted in future years. The inclusion of a Facilities Plan section in the Five-Year Plan does not represent a
municipal commitment to funding the municipal building components ofthe Plan.
6. The 2011 column represents the provisional operating budget submission for receipt by municipalities. The
municipal contribution increase is summarized as follows:
October 18,2010
Union contract settlement and reinstatement of auxiliary hours 2.66%
Reinstatement of Sunday hours 1.08%
Decrease in contingency reserve 0.28%
Increase to library materials and other cost of living increases 0.14%
Decrease in investment income and donations 1.19%
Strategic initiatives and Facilities Plan implementation 1.05%

Note: For the final budget, Municipal contributions will be calculated based on the formula outlined in the Library Operating
Agreement, which says:
"Each Municipality will pay a share of the operating cost of the Board each year equal to the sum of:
(a) fifty percent of the converted assessment value of prior year(s) for the Municipality; and
(b) fifty percent of the population of the prior year of the Municipality, based on the most recent population published
by BC Stats, Ministry of Labour and Citizens' Services
As the assessment values and the population data will be available only in February 2011, the Provisional Budget share is based
on the 2010 share percentages. The final allocation will be determined and included in the Final Operating Budget in February
2011.
The Rent Adjustment presented in this table is the same as 2010. The 2011 Rent Adjustment will be calculated and included in
the Final Operating Budget in February 2011. Consequently, the 2011 Net Contribution is an estimate only.

1. The union settlement, as negotiated by GVLRA and CUPE 410, resulted in a final pay equity increase in
2011; these amounts exceed the target or budget guideline that is the rate of inflation combined with the
rate of increase in population of member municipalities. Salaries and benefits include Sunday openings for
all branches.
2. Library materials budget increased marginally, but no inflationary increase provided.
3. Software costs increased to support new initiatives and improved efficiencies.

Council
Subject: Bylaw No. 1303 - Application to Rezone 1018 Fashoda Place from AG1
(Agriculture 1) to RS3 (Residential Small Lot 3) to Allow for the
Development of one Small Lot
At the Regular Meeting of Council on September 7, 2010, Council passed the following
resolution with respect to the property at 1018 Fashoda Place:
That Council:
1. Direct staff to prepare a bylaw to amend the zoning of the subject property from
AG1 (Agriculture 1) to RS3 (Residential Small Lot 3) in order to accommodate the
development of the property as shown on the plan presented by the applicant,
subject to the following terms and conditions:
a) That as a bonus for increased density on the subject property, the applicant agrees
to provide the following contributions at the time of subdivision:
i) $4,800 per unit toward the General Amenity Reserve Fund;
ii) $2,500 per unit toward the City Park Reserve Fund;
iii) $1,500 per unit toward the ALR Acquisition Fund;
iv) $500 per unit toward the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund; and
v) $4.19 per m 2 of site area toward the South Langford Stormwater Reserve Fund;
b) That the applicant have an appraisal done, prior to First Reading, to determine the
market value ofthe land after rezoning and that the amount, equal to 10% ofthe total
value of the property, be dedicated toward the General Amenity Reserve Fund, as
cash in-lieu of open space;
c) That the applicant provide elevation drawings, prior to Public Hearing, showing the
elevations of the proposed dwelling;
d) That the applicant submit a stormwater management plan and that this plan be
reviewed and approved by staff, prior to Public Hearing, to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer;
e) That the applicant provide, prior to Bylaw Adoption, a Section 219 covenant,
registered in priority over all other charges on title, that agrees to the following:
1) That the property will be developed according to the recommendations
outlined in the stormwater management plan, as noted in item d) above,
and to the satisfaction ofthe City Engineer;
2) That no secondary suites are permitted in the proposed new dwelling;
3) That the proposed dwelling will be substantially similar to the drawings
shown at Public Hearing;
P91

Subject: Z-10-03 -1018 Fashoda Place

COMMENTS
4) That the property be developed according to the recommendations of the
Buffering Plan dated May 31, 2010 by C & F Land Resource Consultants
Ltd. and that appropriate security is provided, to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer, to ensure that recommended landscaping and screening
are provided;
5) That no building or structure may be erected in the area to the north of
the proposed lot 'A', between the rear of this lot and the north property
line of the remainder lot, until that time a plan for further subdivision has
been approved by the City Planner;
6) That a 6 metre wide no-build area is created along that portion of the
property which borders lands within the Agricultural Land Reserve and
that a 1.8 metre high solid board fence be erected along this border;
7) That a development permit for environmental protection and Form &
Character will be required, prior to subdivision, at that time the property is
further developed; and
8) That legal noise nuisance from the South Vancouver Island Rangers and
nuisances from agricultural uses in the area be acknowledged;
f) That Council vary the number of required parking spaces, for the proposed singlefamily
dwelling only, to 2 spaces; and
g) That Council waive the requirement for a development permit for this subdivision
only.
Staff have prepared Bylaw No. 1303 in accordance with Council's resolution of September 7,
2010.
As per Council's policy, the contributions toward the various Reserve Funds, including the South
Langford Stormwater Reserve Fund, will now all go toward the General Amenity Reserve Fund,
in order to provide Council with greater flexibility in expending contributions.
As per item b), the applicant has submitted an appraisal for the subject property. Based on the
appraisal, the amount the applicant will contribute, at the time of subdivision, to the General
Amenity Reserve Fund, is $22,800. This contribution will be secured through Bylaw No. 1303.
The applicant has indicated that the owner of the subject property may want to address Council
with respect to the fees that are required to be paid at the time of subdivision. As the owner only
wishes to subdivide one lot at this time, he feels that the cash-in-lieu of Open Space Dedication
and contributions toward the South Langford Storm Drainage Fund should be based on the one
lot, not the entire property. However, Council may wish to note that these fees are based on the
rezoning, or benefit of an increase in permitted density, not subdivision of the property and that
the entire property is being rezoned at this time.
As the applicant has fulfilled the requirements for First Reading, Council may now wish to give
Bylaw No. 1303 first reading.
A public hearing, in accordance with requirements of the Local Government Act, will be required
if Council wishes to proceed further with Bylaw No. 1303.

General Design Guidelines for Sooke Road Commercial
Revitalization Development Permit Area
JUSTIFICATION
The City of Langford has designated all of Sooke Road Commercial Revitalization Area, as
shown shaded in Map 20 of Bylaw 1200 (Langford's OCP), as a Development Permit Area
pursuant to provisions in the Local Government Act. The justification for this designation is to
provide a design framework for the consistent development and redevelopment of Sooke Road
Commercial Revitalization Area, by establishing specific Design Guidelines. Design Guidelines
provide guidance and direction for the conceptual design of structures, site amenities,
landscaping and streetscaping. Guidelines provide a design context for site planning, building
design and landscape plans. They provide a design context for all new development and set a
design standard and image appropriate for the area. These Design Guidelines are intended to
provide flexibility to allow for individual diversity but at the same time provide a comprehensive
framework to promote a unique and identifiable character for Sooke Road Commercial
Revitalization Area.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this Development Permit Area designation is to ensure that all new
development in the Sooke Road Commercial Revitalization Area is consistent with the City's
long-term vision for Sooke Road. High quality planning and design are essential for Sooke
Road Commercial Revitalization Area in order to create a compact and complete community
that is pedestrian-friendly and offers a mix of uses such as retail, office, residential and
entertainment.
These Design Guidelines encourage consideration of wholeness (that is, an individual
development's impact on others around it) and aesthetic attributes while being architecturally
and technically sound. They encourage solutions that are complete and specific to Sooke Road
Commercial Revitalization Area, as well as specific sites.
In particular, these Design Guidelines:
• Identify a preferred vision and development concept for the Sooke Road Commercial
Revitalization Area;
• Stimulate the development of a visually appealing and identifiable place;
• Ensure harmony or compatible design elements within a particular development and
between different development areas; and
• Provide clear direction for site design, building character and orientation, signage, site
landscaping and open space.
Applicants should provide a checklist or statement indicating how their proposal complies with
these guidelines. Where some element of the design does not comply with a guideline, a
justification stating the divergence and the reasons should be made. Council may diverge from
the guidelines where a convincing or persuasive rationale that preserves the intent of the
guidelines is supplied.
P101

S1. GENERAL GUIDELINES
Objectives
Bylaw No. 1307
Page 4 of 22
• To encourage mixed use commercial and multi-family residential development that
creates a vibrant, active and inclusive place to live, work and play.
• To create a streetscape similar to that which exists on Goldstream Avenue, complete
with paver sidewalks, boulevard plantings, medians and underground wiring.
• To encourage development that reflects the rural/agrarian history of South Langford in
generally and in particular Happy Valley and Luxton, through the use of architectural
details, colours and materials.
• To seek opportunities to create pedestrian focussed greenway and view corridors.
1.1. Site Characteristic
Intent
To promote high quality site planning which is sensitive to off-site and on-site features such as
existing land use and views.
Guidelines
a) Prior to site design, a site analysis should be undertaken to identify significant on-site and
off-site opportunities and constraints that might inform design.
b) Each development should examine and identify its relationship to pedestrian use, street
frontage and public spaces.
c) Each development site should be examined to determine its potential impact upon
surrounding area.
d) Site Planning and architectural design should also be responsive to built or natural systems
surrounding the site in a manner that enhances the overall image of the Sooke Road
Commercial Revitalization Area.
e) Views through to treed hillsides should be carefully incorporated into any new development.
1.2. Access, Circulation, and Parking
Intent
To ensure an effective and efficient pedestrian and vehicular circulation system, including
bicycles, which enhances the image of Langford and which reduces conflicts between the
pedestrian/ vehicular realm.
Guidelines
a) Sooke Road should be redesigned into a 'Main Street' with wide sidewalks, treed street
edge, pedestrian crossings, on-street parking and vehicle movement lane.
P102

Bylaw No. 1307
Page 5 of 22
b) Pedestrian access to retail and commercial buildings or uses should be continuous along
the fagade of the building, at the same grade as the sidewalk.
c) Modulation of building fagades at ground level should be used to enable various alternative
street activities, including browsing, outdoor cafes, street entertainment.
d) Buildings should be sited in a manner that provides safe and attractive pedestrian networks
that supplement the streetscape network.
e) Public access to retail and commercial uses on the ground floor should occur directly from
the sidewalk. Access to retail and commercial uses above ground floor should be provided
internally.
f) Corner buildings should be sited in a manner that will be conducive to natural pedestrian
movements at ground level.
g) Shared driveway access between adjacent buildings is encouraged.
h) Roads should be enhanced with the addition of landscape feature plantings to help define
the pedestrian edge.
i) On-street parking should be provided where appropriate, but such parking does not relieve
the development from off-street parking requirements.
j) Public parking and employee or service vehicle access and pedestrian access from

have a blank, uninterrupted length exceeding 9 metres without including design details such
as the following: change in plane, change in texture or masonry pattern, windows, a
landscape device such as a trellis with vines or an equivalent element that subdivides the
wall in human scale proportions.
b) Side or rear walls that face walkways may include false windows and door openings defined
by frames, sills and lintels, or similarly proportioned modulations of the wall, only when
actual doors and windows are not feasible because ofthe nature ofthe use ofthe building.

that is complimentary to the cladding of the building and adds interest to the look and
texture of the wall and building, or with a painted mural or other artwork approved by
Council, and that a sufficient setback be provided to enable some articulation of the wall,
when the wall is likely to be exposed to public view.
g) Long, uninterrupted street fagades should be avoided. Instead, use plan articulation for
doorways, retail windows, outdoor sitting spaces, etc. and use architectonic devices
(articulation of structural elements like columns) to segment longer fagades.
h) To reduce the bulk of larger buildings, a "softening" of corners in plan and elevation is
