SEBA Construction is seeking an OCP amendment (Bylaw No. 10264), rezoning (Bylaw No. 10265), and Development Permit DPR01058 at 3984 and 3986 Gordon Head Road, Saanich, for a 78-unit, six-storey apartment building. A public hearing was held May 12, 2026, and council is scheduled to vote on approval at its May 25 meeting.
Correspondence on the proposal totalled 26 letters, with 15 in support, 2 opposed, and 9 neutral. The themes included:
- Traffic and parking impacts
- Neighbourhood character and building height variances
- Proximity to transit and UVic
- Housing type and accessibility
The Times Colonist reported on the project’s progression, noting it will replace two single-family homes at the southwest corner of Gordon Head and Laval Avenue (Times Colonist). The Advisory Design Panel recommended approval of the design on March 6, 2025 (saanich.ca). REW lists the development as “The Serene” by SEBA Construction (rew.ca).
If council approves the application on May 25, the project would proceed to detailed design and a building permit submission.
A rezoning application for 3984 and 3986 Gordon Head Road in Saanich, submitted by SEBA Construction, will be considered at the May 25, 2026 meeting. The proposal seeks to rezone the properties to permit a new residential development. No decision has been announced.
