• Lost opportunities for Mount View
• Over 1 Million dollars proceeds from sale of
  field used for park elsewhere
• The rationalization of schools favoured park
  expansion outside the neighbourhood, resulting in
  loss of another 1.2 acres.
• Uptown variances in excess of 24,000,000 were
  not applied to local area

Saanich 2008 Official Community Plan
4.2.6 existing public school sites for
non-institutional uses where 50 of the site is
set aside for publicly-accessible open space.
4.2.3.1 new multiple family residential
commercial, institutional and civic development
should focus in Major centres.
4.2.4. 2. Evaluate zoning applications for
multiple family developments on the basis of
neighbourhood context, site size, scale, density,
parking capacity and availability, underground
service capacity, adequacy of parkland and visual
and traffic impacts.
4.2.4. 4. Support institutional land uses that
fit with the character of residential
neighbourhoods.

1999 Carey Local Area Plan
Institutions can have significant negative ...
impacts on a neighbourhood, and these impacts
should be considered if new institutional uses
are proposed. Acceptability should be based on
the merits of a particular proposal with respect
to traffic, access, site design, scale, available
amenities and the impact on surrounding land uses.
Policy 4.2 Encourages design compatibility when
rezoning, subdivision and development permits in
the vicinity of heritage structures
Policy 14.2 requires that site design, building
scale, and landscaping for new institutional uses
respect the character and scale of the
surrounding neighbourhood.

• 7.5 storeys, even stepped back is out of scale
  with the neighbourhood of one and two storey
  homes.

• This building will create major shading of
  heritage homes across Carey.

• The density of this building ( FSR 2.8) raises
  the overall density of the proposal to higher
  than is usual in Saanich. even higher than the
  proposed complex at Tillicum mall.

• This building requires more that 250 parking
  space. Thats 250 more cars on an already
  congested roadway

• The building takes away needed park space from
  the community

The Planning Departments Report Notes

• The proposed office use would be inconsistent
  with the surrounding uses and would be better
  located within a Major Centre than a residential
  area and campus of care. From a site design
  point of view, it would be preferable if the
  market building was not required for this overall
  project.
• A larger park would be preferable, especially
  given the location close to the Uptown major
  centre.
