Council gave first, second, and third readings to Bylaw No. 2211 on May 19, 2026, rezoning 2609 Sooke Road, Langford, from R2 to C9 with a six-storey height limit and amenity contribution requirements. The motion carried without discussion, and no conditions are recorded.
The project has appeared on a Sustainable Development Advisory Committee agenda (file Z23-0012, April 13, 2026). Citified Victoria describes a five-storey residential development at this address (victoria.citified.ca), while a separate listing, "Belmont Residences West," references a five-storey condominium near Jacklin Avenue (victoria.citified.ca). The bylaw’s six-storey height limit leaves some flexibility; the as-of-right five-storey description in promotional materials suggests the developer intends to build to that scale, though a final building permit submission will confirm the actual height.
No applicant was identified in the council materials or meeting minutes. The readings advance the rezoning toward adoption at a future meeting; once adopted, a building permit application becomes the next dependency. No public hearing or adoption date has been scheduled as of this briefing.
A rezoning application at 2609 Sooke Road in Langford was presented to Council on May 19, 2026. The applicant sought to change the property's zoning designation. Council approved the application, with the motion Carried.
