Council is being asked to direct staff to develop zoning and fee bylaw amendments to permit short-term rentals for up to 60 nights per property per year. Staff would draft the amendments for council consideration and adoption, with a short-term rental licensing program anticipated for January 2027. No correspondence, decision context, or media references are available at this stage.

An Official Community Plan amendment application will be reviewed for an undisclosed property address in Saanich, BC. The applicant is seeking approval to modify the land use designation. The application will be considered at a public meeting on April 27, 2026, with no outcome yet available.
