C. Saanich bylaw meeting set

Mar 23 2012

Central Saanich will discuss bylaw changes that would open up the Keating area to big box stores on April 16.

A public hearing was held this week on the changes that would allow stores larger than 54,000 square feet - the current size limit - and also allow them in the light industrial area of Keating Cross Road.

After a hearing, council can have no further public input. About 50 people attended the hearing and 19 spoke. Dozens more wrote or emailed council. All are to be taken into consideration.
