Frequently Asked Questions

The proposal is for a 4/5-storey market rental housing project, with 78 units (studio to 3 bedroom) and one floor of underground parking. It will incorporate a new TELUS utility building, replacing the outdated structure currently on the site. The current building has reached its end of life and is inefficient and requires significant enhancements to suit modern telecommunications infrastructure.

This proposal will provide:

  • 78 market rental homes (studio to 3-beds); more than 50% of homes are family-oriented
  • 54 parking spaces, including a designed MODO Car Share space
  • 84 bike parking spaces, including 73 standard resident spaces, 4 resident cargo bike spaces and 7 visitor spaces
  • More than 30 new trees planted on-site
  • Public realm improvements, including the preservation and enhancement of a public pathway for the Gordon Head neighbourhood.

LPI Management Ltd. is the real estate development arm of the Ledcor Group. For nearly 30 years, LPI has delivered distinctive apartment, condominium, mixed‑use, and resort projects across North America, combining the agility of a boutique developer with the experience and stability of the broader Ledcor organization.

The building is a market rental building with 78 rental units.

Rental rates will be based on the current market rates at the time of rental. We do not know what rental rates will be charged until the building is completed, several years from now.

The site is imagined as a series of smaller parcels that are sympathetic to the cadence of adjacent lots. The building is broken down into a collection of smaller elements that are interspaced with generous pockets of greenspace in between.

No bylaw protected trees will be removed on the site. All of the major trees around the perimeter of the site will be preserved as part of the proposal, and no bylaw-protected trees will be removed.

The hedges on the south side of the site will also be preserved. As part of the revised proposal design, the building has been relocated 0.6m to the north, and will have excavation supervised by an arborist with an irrigation/care program implemented. Hedges will require canopy pruning to facilitate construction.

The new plan proposes planting more than 30 new trees, including Garry oak, Japanese and Vine maple, and Dogwood species. Based on the reference standard for canopy calculations (Oak Bay’s methodology) the projected canopy coverage for this project, once trees reach maturity, is 59% of the total lot.

The majority of this building is essentially a 4-storey residential building awith underground parking walls partially exposed. The section of the building in the middle, facing Feltham, reaches 5-storeys because the main building’s pedestrian and parkade entrances are located there. Additional height is also considered where the site has a slope, and this site has a full 3m height difference from the east to western edges.

The application for this proposal was originally submitted in 2022; the current work is deemed an “update” to that application, and as such, Official Community Plan (OCP) policies from the 2022 OCP apply. While the Official Community Plan sets heights starting at 3 stories, the OCP permits taller buildings, up to 5 storeys, provided certain criteria are met to “earn” that density and height. This project has directly addressed those criteria, including:

  • Tree preservation: Retention of major and bylaw-protected trees.
  • Open space: The project design creates open space across the site in multiple areas.
  • Public/community amenities: The project will provide a new pathway connecting Feltham to Fairhurst. This path will include public art, a seating area and a community mini-library. 
  • Rental housing: The building is 100% rental housing and will have a housing agreement guaranteeing units remain rental for 50 years.
  • Design excellence: The building is designed to minimize impact on neighbours through its multiple massing elements and associated open space, keeping the building below 5 storeys along the edges, and providing an attractive landscape design.

The projected trips generated by the 78 units in the building will be 30-36 trips/peak hour (7:30-9am and 3:30-5:30pm), or approximately one new vehicle every 2 minutes during those busy hours. It will be much less during the rest of the day. This level of new vehicle traffic on a collector road such as Feltham is not anticipated to have a significant impact on traffic operations. The trips are expected to be primarily coming and going east/west on Feltham.

As part of the proposal, 54 onsite parking spaces will be provided, including a designed MODO Car Share space. The District of Saanich’s new parking bylaw does not require a minimum level of parking for rental buildings; it has a maximum of 1.5 stalls/unit. Based on 49 residential parking spaces, this proposal has a parking ratio of 0.63/unit – a ratio common throughout Greater Victoria for rental buildings. 

The project is a rental building and the site is located on a transit line and within a convenient walking/cycling/transit distance of many amenities, shopping and employment centres, and is going to be providing a shared-car and other TDM measures, this level of parking is considered adequate. 

Provision of an on-site MODO Car with memberships included with the rental of all units provides residents with a viable alternative to vehicle ownership.

Two Transportation Demand Measure (TDM) packages have been provided to reduce automobile ownership and use, including an on-site shared-car and unbundling the parking from units.

  • Car Share Program: The car share program will include a shared MODO car for the building, with parking along the Feltham frontage, and a MODO car share membership for every unit.
  • Unbundling Parking From Units: By unbundling the parking from units, meaning parking spaces are rented separately from the units, people without a car do not need to rent one, and others can rent as many stalls as they need.

The two most frequent and easily accessible bus routes near the site are route 27 and route 28, which are located within a 1-minute walk and operate every 15 minutes during peak hours.

There are water, sanitary and stormwater mains in Feltham with sufficient size and capacity to support this building in alignment with the District’s requirements. New infrastructure will be installed where necessary, including a new catch basin, connections and others. The detailed design of the infrastructure will be undertaken after the rezoning is completed.

The amenities proposed for residents of the building include a fitness room, an amenity lounge, outdoor greenspaces, and a small rooftop patio.

The building will provide several benefits to the neighbourhood, including:

  • New frontage and public realm improvements to upgrade Feltham, including sidewalk, boulevard and elevated bike lanes.
  • A new pedestrian pathway will be added around the site to connect Feltham to Fairhurst; the pathway will include a seating area and a community mini-library.
  • Artistic elements are proposed in and along the building/surface of the public pathway.
  • Significant tree retention.
  • The existing TELUS utility building will become a much smaller, sleeker and upgraded building. It will later be integrated into the overall residential building and will be less noticeable than it is currently.

There are several reasons for locating the new public pathway on the east side of the site, including:

  • Privacy for Tenants: Placing the pathway on the east side avoids running it directly in front of the two dwelling units, which would impact tenant privacy.
  • BC Hydro Statutory Right of Way: There is a BC Hydro SRW along the property, which restricts construction in that corridor and makes the west side less suitable for pathway placement.
  • Tree Retention and Landscape Preservation: This routing minimizes impact on protected landscape features, including trees with critical root zones and driplines.
  • Property Line Setbacks and Access: TELUS Central Office setback requirements and property line constraints favour the east-side routing for maintaining required clearances.
  • Shortest Route: This routing provides the most direct connection between Feltham Road and Fairhurst Avenue.

LPI has received approval to replace the aging TELUS utility building on the site with a modern, underground telecommunications utility room in advance of the construction of the rest of the building.  

This replacement is being completed independent of the residential housing application proposal. If the development proposal is approved, the new communications utility building will form a part of the future development of the site.

The project application was originally submitted in 2022, and the current updated design was resubmitted to the District of Saanich in Q2 of 2025. Ledcor has been actively working with Saanich Planning Staff on the review of this updated plan.
The next steps are expected to include:

  • Community engagement – winter 2025/26
  • Final review and comment by staff and the Advisory Design Panel (ADP) – winter and early spring 2025/26
  • Presentation to Council – spring 2026.
