The project, proposed by Abstract Developments, envisions 25 townhouse units at the northwest corner of Rainbow Street and Sevenoaks Road, which neighbours say is too many
A townhouse development proposed for the Swan Lake neighbourhood will be back in the spotlight this week as Saanich reconvenes a public hearing to consider rezoning three residential lots for multi-family use.
The first public hearing Jan. 24 ran late into the night and several speakers were not heard. The hearing will continue at a special council meeting Tuesday starting at 7 p.m. Community spokesman Matthew Yerrell said in an interview that a survey of 103 area residents showed 95 per cent believe 12 to 15 units would be acceptable.
Yerrell said area residents feel Saanich has paid little attention to their concerns so far, arguing staff have looked for ways to accommodate the development through variances and ignoring guidelines.
