Coming Fast and Furious Official Community Plan Open Houses

Official Community Plan Open House dates.

From our Friends in South Oak Bay…Thanks Cyndra for keeping this front and centre.

Below are times and locations of the FOUR Open House dates to review and update Our Official Community Plan and address  how Oak Bay will go ahead with 3761 new homes to be built.

Thursday May 22, Oak Bay Recreation Centre (sports view lounge) - 4.00 to 8.00

Saturday May 24, Monterey Recreation Centre - 9.00 to 1.00

Thursday May 29 UVIC (Sngequ Building, Conference Room A and B located off parking lot #5 off Sinclair Road) - 4.00 to 8.00

The following scenarios was taken from the April 22/25 minutes of the Committee of The Whole:  https://oakbay.civicweb.net/document/145454/

  A) Transit oriented growth

– This scenario envisions higher density development that is focused on the existing main bus routes and the future anticipated high frequency transit corridor along Foul Bay and Henderson Roads and along Oak Bay Avenue. 

B) Distributed growth 

– This scenario proposes low to medium density development including small scale multi-unit housing (SSMUH) and ground oriented townhomes distributed throughout most of the community. Higher density development is similarly dispersed between the Oak Bay Village and the smaller neighbourhood centres. 

C) Concentrated Village growth – this scenario presents a focus on higher density development that is focused around the Oak Bay and Cadboro Bay Villages, existing secondary village areas, and near other important community amenities.   

This will determine the future of Oak Bay for all of us. There have been many changes gone unnoticed until it is too late, this is our chance to have input.
