May 6, 2011: CBRA Queenswood Rezoning - UVic Letter to Saanich Apr 19,2011

CBRA formed a committee in April to review UVic's March application for rezoning of the Queenswood property and to report back to Saanich. The application lacked responses to the concerns raised by the Board and our residents and President Rick Page continued to push for more community consultation. The University finally agreed and sent a letter to Saanich last week requesting more time for consultation. We should hear shortly from Saanich Planning whether the referral to CBRA is also postponed but it appears that UVic won't be proceeding until very late this year or next. See UVic Letter to Saanich.
