Council is receiving the draft Tillicum Burnside Plan, an area plan for the Tillicum-Burnside corridor, and directing staff to proceed with Phase 4 public engagement. A Saanich News letter (https://vicnews.com/2026/05/16/letter-saanich-needs-a-discussion-on-designated-corridors/) raised concerns about density and planning process, while a VibrantVictoria forum thread (https://vibrantvictoria.ca/forum/index.php?/topic/7647-tillicum-burnside-plan/) noted fears of unmet expectations and backlash. No development parcels, unit counts, or specific project proponents are identified; the plan remains a broad 20-year policy framework. Phase 4 engagement, including June webinars (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/happycitiesteam_do-you-live-in-saanich-join-us-for-a-series-activity-7337874876180926465-XphB), will feed into plan refinement, with council consideration of the final plan likely in late 2026.

A proposed Official Community Plan amendment for an undisclosed address in Saanich, BC, was submitted by an applicant. The application, scheduled for discussion at the April 27, 2026 municipal meeting, seeks to modify the community plan policies for the property. No decision or outcome has been reported for this application at this time.
