The 26-unit townhouse project, which will replace a single-family home on Rainbow Road, is the third multi-family project approved in the last year
Despite concerns about the amount of development planned for the Swan Lake area, Saanich council has moved forward a 26-unit townhouse project that will replace a single-family home.
“And what this application represents is 26 family-suitable homes. We think this is an ideal location to create homes for them to live in.” Jonathan Mark, president of the Rainbow Hill townhomes strata council, told council that together, the projects represent a significant increase in congestion, and a safety risk.
Coun. Nathalie Chambers, who said she grew up in the area, said she appreciated Abstract Developments’ efforts to protect trees.
