1899 Cochrane Street

SEBA Construction Ltd. (Aidan McCulloch) is seeking a rezoning to RM-7 and a development permit with variances at 1899 Cochrane Street, Saanich, for an eight-unit townhouse project. Council is being asked to approve both, with final approval withheld pending a covenant for community amenity contributions and retention of a mature pine tree. Public correspondence raised concerns about tree removal, scale and density, parking shortages, and the health impacts on the pine tree. The Saanich Advisory Design Panel recommended approval of the design as presented (saanich.ca). If council approves the rezoning and DP on May 25, the covenant conditions must be satisfied before final adoption, with construction likely to follow later in 2026.

A rezoning application at 1899 Cochrane Street in Saanich, BC from SEBA Construction Ltd. (Aidan McCulloch) will be considered on May 25, 2026. The proposal requests a change to permit townhouse development. No outcome is available.
