What would make Central Saanich better now and in the future? No idea is too big or silly.

Our OCP review is just beginning and we need to hear from you! Help define what we care about as a community and how we want to grow and evolve.
This is the time to share your big ideas.

- Agriculture
- Economic development
- Environment and climate action

Why? These ideas will help us identify themes, values and priorities, which will ensure the OCP conversations to come are meaningful and focused on key topics.

Revise the zoning for the four acre lot at Wallace and Hovey to allow seniors housing.
The lot is already in the urban containment area and relatively close to amenities, and across the street from the Legion Retirement Centre on East Saanich.

Move city hall to Keating Business Park and develop the land for Seniors Housing and Affordable Housing
Moving city hall and police services to Keating Business Park would be a great first step to revitalizing Keating Business Park and the operations more in line with the activities in the Business Park. Meanwhile, the current city hall and surrounding land isn't contributing much to the vibrancy of Saanichton.

Promote Keating Industrial Park as a place that encourages Green Innovated Tech Companies.
Clean up Keating Industrial Park to make it look visually appealing. Allow the construction of small 2-3 story buildings that are architecturally interesting. Develop KIP to be a walkable, cycling, public transportation accessible community with new businesses and office space.

Partner with a reflective wear company to support active transport safety.
With streetlights and infrastructure expensive and limited for active transportation in the immediate future, Central Saanich could connect with companies or wholesale distributors to provide discounted (or free!) reflective wear for residents to improve safety at night when engaging in walking/biking. CS could partner with North Saanich/Sidney/Saanich to make the initiative more feasible.

Establish a program that will help match seniors who intend to down size with property owners who may want to construct infill housing.
With the likelihood that bylaws to allow infill housing will be approved, many seniors would be allowed to continue to live independently if there was a program established that could match seniors who will be down sizing with property owners considering construction of in-fill housing.
