The portion earmarked for sale is already zoned for a residential subdivision that would allow eight five-acre lots. The proposal can bypass council and go directly to the municipality’s chief administrative officer for approval. It isn’t immediately clear when that might happen. In a letter to Boys & Girls Club Foundation president Rebecca Lang, Metchosin Mayor John Ranns said while subdivision of the property is permitted under the district’s land-use bylaw, council “feels strongly” that the property should remain as one parcel, protected by a covenant. Ranns encouraged the club to explore opportunities for partnerships with the Metchosin Foundation, which works to protect and sustain natural habitats, and initiate steps toward the preservation of the 40-acre parcel and a pond on the property.
