Taller, denser housing projects face pushback in Saanich s Royal Oak

In some cases, residents say, the proposed projects exceed the size and density allowed under existing rules. “What we’re seeing now is efforts by developers to really go to the max in terms of density and building heights that were never contemplated for these areas,” said Roger Graham, president of the Royal Oak Community Association. “It’s happening without public input except on a project-by- project basis. It’s death by a thousand cuts, in a sense, if these kinds of projects actually are going to ultimately be approved by Saanich.” Mayor Fred Haynes countered that none of the projects have received final approval and that council has a responsibility to consider all proposals and points of view.

Royal Oak 11-storey condo project headed to public hearing, despite opposition

Mike Geric Construction Ltd. wants to put up two buildings on the site, starting at 11 storeys and “terracing down” to a five-storey structure beside the existing apartments and townhouse developments, a city report says. The project would have a total of 242 condos including 43 that would be secured in perpetuity as “affordable” and sold at 15 per cent below the appraised value. Residents have voiced concern about the project’s proximity to the park as well as its density and height, which exceeds the four-storey limit in the ­official community plan There’s also a covenant on the 1.3-hectare property that restricts the site to 98 residential units.
