COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION LAND USE COMMITTEE (CALUC)
This committee supports and implements the City of Victoria’s community-based CALUC processes for the neighbourhoods of Fairfield and Gonzales, by providing a public venue for proponents to present formal zoning variance applications, and by working to solicit and understand community opinions about such applications. Community opinions are recorded and shared with decision making bodies within the City of Victoria and with our membership. CALUC’s goal is to facilitate such proponent-community interactions in an unbiased and well-run manner so that all Fairfield Gonzales community opinions are welcomed and shared. Contact the chair.
