The property encompasses an 11,220-square-foot lot zoned RC (Residential Cluster), with a proposed Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.09, exceeding the current zoning allowance of 0.7. The development concept, known as “Keating Heights,” envisions six thoughtfully designed townhouse units. Each home will feature a ground-floor flex space suitable for an office, guest room, or additional bedroom, three bedrooms on the upper level, and an enclosed two-car garage. The layout emphasizes walkability and a pedestrian-friendly environment, creating a welcoming residential setting.
Located near the Keating Cross Road commercial hub, Keating Elementary School, Saanichton Village, Lochside Regional Trail, and Panorama Recreation Centre, the site offers convenient access to essential amenities and recreational opportunities.
The project delivers meaningful community benefits, including support for “missing middle” housing, enhanced neighborhood vibrancy, and a $135,000 contribution toward infrastructure improvements such as sidewalks and driveway relocation.
