Oak Bay is seeking public feedback on a plan to allow additional types of housing, including detached suites, duplexes, townhouses and heritage conversions.
District staff are in the final stages of the engagement process before bringing the results to council to help inform a decision by the incoming council following the municipal elections on Oct. 15. Kevin Murdoch, mayor of Oak Bay, says the municipality is looking at a number of ways to achieve diversity in housing.
“One option, for sure, is that we can do it through zoning, through guidelines as to what zoning is approved based on meeting certain criteria,” Murdoch told CHEK News. “It might be a pre-zoning for certain types of housing, we don’t know exactly yet. But we know that the end goal there is to make it easier for people to build those kinds of housing forms.”
