Shelbourne Corridor Action Plan Survey

Saanich is preparing to develop a detailed "action plan" to address planning in the Shelbourne corridor area. The plan will focus on Shelbourne St. and adjoining areas (about 500 m on each side), from Hillside Mall to Feltham Village. This discussion paper prepared by Peter Spurr of the MTCA outlines some preliminary discussions with Saanich planning and identifies some topics for consideration.

This backgrounder prepared by the MTCA provides a consolidation of information available through various official sources about population, land use, and traffic in the Shelbourne Corridor.

Saanich is considering changes to its bylaws to permit secondary suites in Saanich, south of McKenzie Ave. The District is requesting input from residents via telephone and online surverys and open houses. This discussion paper prepared by Peter Spurr of the MTCA outlines some issues on this topic of interest to residents of the Mount Tolmie area.

The District of Saanich has recently completed a review and modifications to its Offical Community Plan. Although the Shelbourne Local Area Plan has not yet been addressed, the OCP identifies a "major centre" (University Centre, Shelbourne@McKenzie) and a "neighbourhood centre" (Cedar Hill Centre, Shelbourne@Cedar Hill Cross) within the MTCA boundaries.

This map, compiled by Peter Spurr of the MTCA from Saanich and MTCA information, shows the MTCA boundaries.
