third reading to an amendment of the Official Community Plan and a rezoning application for the proposed 795-unit development. “Folks would rather see completion of the project because it has been sitting in a state of flux and not meeting demands set on it,” said Mayor Carol Hamilton. “With a new developer you come with a new feel and flavour
… There will be some concerns, but it completes an area of Colwood and allows for a little more diversity.” The current proposal by Seacliff Properties Ltd. requires changes to the neighbourhood plan. It calls for increases in the overall number of units, the addition of neighbourhood-scaled commercial and a single-family home component.
