Thank you. Open. Okay. All right. Good evening, everyone. It's 5:30, and we're going to convene the special open council meeting. We're going to convene the special open council meeting for Tuesday, August 18th, as it's now 5:31. I'm going to call the meeting to order, acknowledging that we have online, Councillor Riddle in the room, Councillor Thomson, Councillor Newton, Councillor Paltiel, myself, Mayor Windsor. We begin by respectfully acknowledging that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Saanich people, which includes Sartlip and Saot First Nations. There are no amendments to the agenda as circulated. So I could have a motion to adopt the agenda, please, or approve the agenda. Moved. Seconded. Thank you. Any discussion? Seeing none. Any opposed? None are opposed. The motion carries. Item 4.1 is a staff report. It's an administrative amendment to the zoning bylaw, which I don't know if staff want to speak to that, but yeah, go ahead.

For 1903 Mount Newton Cross Road, council previously directed that residential attached be a permitted use and that the maximum height be reduced from six storeys to five storeys. These changes were inadvertently not carried forward into the final bylaw. The recommendation is to rescind the previous third reading and adoption and make the corrections corrections and th …

Good evening. Last week, Monday morning, I experienced a rather frightening experience. It was in a local coffee shop. There weren't many in it. There was myself, a friend of mine, and a mother, a few tables away with her son, and the son was busily eating ice cream.

Thank you. Now time for our regular council meeting, Monday, July 13th , 2026. I will call the meeting to order. Begin, of course, by respectfully acknowledging that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Husainich people, which includes the Sartlip and Seot First Nations. And last week we signed a memorandum of understanding with the Husainich Leadership Council, which will help guide the future of our relationship with the First Nations that are under the WLC. That is Sartlip and Seicum First Nation. Okay. If I could have a motion to approve this evening's agenda with an amendment by adding late correspondence to items 11 , 2 and 13, 1. Could I also move that and ask that the item 14.12 regarding the public hearing item be moved up on the agenda ? Well, certainly. Would you like to, we'll place it under item 10? We'll make it 10.1. Yeah, that makes sense under item 10. Yeah. 14.12 will become item 10.1 with this if there's a seconder . Thank you. Any further discussion on the matter? Seeing none. Any opposed? None. The motion carries. We move to adoption of the minutes of June 29, 2026, please . Moved. Seconded. Thank you. Any errors, omissions, or changes? Seeing none. I'll call the question. Any opposed to adoption of the minutes? Seeing none. Business arising from the minutes, I'll go to Councillor Riddle. Okay. Thank you very much. This is in relation to 15.1 last meeting, which was the draft development permit guidelines. So I just have a minor …

For reference we're part or we're in between Tanner and Keating Cross Road, the detour route for the overpass project.

Thank you. Any opposed? None? Carrying on, we've got the adoption of the minutes of the May 25th regular council meeting, any, thank you. Second, Councillor Peltiel, thank you. Any opposed? None? Carried? No business arising from the minutes. No rise in report this evening. We have public questions. For comment from the gallery where we permit up to two minutes to speak for a total of 20 minutes, I believe, in total. I see everyone racing to the podium so I will start with who's up there first. Thank you. Hi, good evening. My name is Kathleen Zimmerman. I live in Brentwood Bay. This is feedback. It's about the June 4th PAC meeting, Peninsula and Area Agricultural Commission. At that meeting, they were informed that Central Saanich will be withdrawing their administrative support from the committee by the end of June. And that the mayor has written a letter to the CRD asking them to take over the administration of the committee. In response to questions at the meeting, staff said that this was decided in January and it was decided at a closed council meeting. I found this sort of extraordinary for a number of reasons. First of all, Central Saanich only started administering the committee in January and their first meeting was in February under Central Saanich control. Yet they had already, Council had apparently decided to withdraw support even before the very first meeting that they administered. And secondly, I can't find any section of the community charter that applies to …
