3767 Happy Valley Road

Tanner Rees Evans and Ashley Annette Evans are seeking Development Variance Permit 26-01 at 3767 Happy Valley Road, Metchosin, to reduce the front yard setback from 7.5 m to 3.2 m for a 2-unit residential addition (enclosed breezeway and secondary suite above the garage), fully within the existing building footprint. Council voted unanimously to approve on May 4, 2026, relying on site visits confirming no footprint expansion, a geotechnical flood report, and a qualified environmental professional’s assessment (Craig Barlo) that the work would not impair Bilston Creek, located within a streamside protection area. No public opposition was voiced. The approval clears the path for a building permit application; with technical reports already reviewed, issuance is expected within the District’s standard processing timeline.

A rezoning application for 3767 Happy Valley Road in Metchosin, submitted by Tanner Rees Evans and Ashley Annette Evans, was considered on May 4, 2026. The applicant proposes to rezone the property to permit a small-scale multi-unit residential development. No meeting outcome has been announced.
