.Project architect Eric Barker said the West Shore needs more housing where seniors can “age in place,” and be close to shopping, amenities and transit. Staggering the building with different heights is a better fit to the neighourhood, he said, and stressed there would be aggressive tall tree planting around the property
I guess he will need some 100' trees in order to hide the building.
“We need higher buildings downtown,” agreed committee member Steve Harvey. “The building is a positive thing, although I wouldn’t want it beside (my house).”
A 'NIMBY' on the 'committee'.........
Committee chair Coun. Lillian Szpak told the audience the proposal fits within Langford’s official community plan, and that the city has no set height restrictions.
That's quite the 'plan' you have there. No plan at all.
Trying to convince a skeptical audience, Barker said the layout and landscaping would hide much of the building from nearby homes. A shadow-modeling animation demonstrated the closest building to the north would receive a fair amount of shadow in the winter.
I'm sorry, color me stupid, but how can landscaping hide a 100' building?
I'm finished my spiel, whatever, Langford is desperate for money. This will pass. Screw the neighbours. This is PROGRESS!

No problems. With some clever landscaping, this 14 storey knob will fit right in.

I hate how development hearings in Victoria always focus on how they will make it so you won't see a building. They should instead focus on making it a nice 14 storey building. Sounds like a big improvement for Langford.
AMEN - Aside from Finlayson Reach up on BM and the half completed Highlander, I believe this would mark the first true tower on the West Shore to be built.

Well if your house is next door and your living room window is 6 feet agl, a 20 foot tree would obscure your view of the building quite nicely.

With the announced closure of Oak Bay Lodge Seniors and Tillicum Lodge We need this type of contruction. I only wish that there would be more construction of continuous multi level care such as at Selkirk.A proposal for a 14-storey, 131-unit, seniors congregate care building has surfaced for 2771 Jacklin Rd. in Langford.

Here's a link to the developer's website. It's interesting to note that one of the owners sells Hot Tubs for a living as well. I wonder if they have to sell thier $2.99 Million house first to help finance this project in langford.

At tonight’s Langford Council Meeting, citing strong community opposition to the original 14 storey proposal, the developer’s time and money, and city hall staff’s time and effort, Lillian Szpak (representing the Planning, Zoning, and Affordable Housing Committee) recommended that the developer come back with a new proposal of 6-8 storeys.
