Council is being asked to direct staff to proceed with public and focused-group engagement on draft Official Community Plan Development Permit Areas Design Guidelines, with a subsequent bylaw to amend the OCP. The expected timeline runs from April–June 2026 for engagement, then staff bringing forward a bylaw for first and second reading, a public hearing, and third reading and adoption. No project-specific or land inventory details accompany the council report in the available materials.

An Official Community Plan amendment application for an undisclosed address in Central Saanich has been submitted by an applicant. The application is scheduled for review at a public hearing on May 20, 2026. No decision or outcome has been reported at this time.
