Council is considering a Notice of Motion to direct staff to prepare a draft Cell Tower Siting Policy, with referral to the next Council Strategic Planning Check-In scheduled for a future meeting. The motion would initiate a staff report and draft policy framework; adoption of a final policy would follow council review and public consultation. If adopted, a cell tower siting policy would establish criteria for location, height, setbacks, and public notification for wireless telecommunications infrastructure, affecting all future tower and small-cell applications within the municipality. No further details accompany the motion in the available materials.

A rezoning application for an undisclosed address in Saanich, BC, submitted by an applicant, will be considered at a meeting on May 4, 2026. The proposal seeks to change the land use designation for the property. No outcome has been reported.
