Council is considering a recommendation at its May 11, 2026 meeting to direct staff to explore removing regulatory limits on shipping containers used for non‑occupancy agricultural purposes on agricultural properties, while potentially imposing restrictions on containers for non‑agricultural use. The item is a policy direction, not a site‑specific application; no applicant, address, or project specifications are attached. No further detail — such as draft bylaw language, timeline, or staff analysis — accompanies the agenda item.

A rezoning application proposes to amend the Land Use Bylaw for an undisclosed property in Central Saanich, BC. The applicant is known to the District. The application will be considered by Council on May 11, 2026; no outcome has been released.
