Community Association Land Use Committee

The CALUC is a volunteer committee that researches community opinion on land use in our neighbourhood. The CALUC helps our neighbours engage in community planning by providing opportunities and processes to collect and forward residents’ comments to City Council. The CALUC reviews a variety of development applications & proposals for rezoning in the Fairfield and Gonzales areas, and hears and records public input on these matters.  The CALUC has no decision-making authority over proposed developments, and all decisions are made by the city.  Residents may also provide input by writing to City Council, attending Council meetings, as well as talking to City councillors.  Community Meeting General Info.

Upcoming  Meetings

 

May 29th @ 7pm in person at 1330 Fairfield Rd

Topic:

In-person Community Discussion regarding 1075 Pendergast / 320 Cook Street; application to amend the term of the ‘temporary use permit’ from three years to the life of the existing building. This is a follow-up discussion with community members to discuss the potential use of the 2nd floor office space to best benefit the community. 
 
In-person Preliminary Meeting for 395 St Charles; the application is to rezone a 920 m2 corner lot at the corner of St Charles and Chandler St , currently zoned R-1G , to a comprehensive zone to allow for three approximately 300m2 lots and the development of three approx 200m2 SFD houses with secondary suites in the lowest level.

 

In-person Preliminary Meeting for 1114 Rockland Ave; the application is to rezone a proposed 22-unit condo building to rental housing; in lieu of 2 units guaranteed for below market condo prices, the application would provide 2 units at below market rents. 
 
For all applications, once the proposed plans and a project summary have been received by the City, they will be posted on the https://tender.victoria.ca/webapps/ourcity/prospero/search.aspxDevelopment Tracker and an online comment form is available to share comments. So please keep checking the Development Tracker on these and all applications for updates. 
 

Past Meetings

We are happy to receive emails on any proposal, at any time, at planandzone@fairfieldcommunity.ca and we will include all such emails with our report to the City on the Community Meeting.
