The District of Oak Bay is reviewing an Official Community Plan amendment and site‑specific rezoning for 2090 Cadboro Bay Road to enable a five‑storey, 16‑unit mixed‑use building with ground‑floor commercial space. The staff report to the Advisory Planning Commission lays out a comprehensive concept including demolition of an existing single‑family house, construction of a higher‑density strata apartment, and a hybrid daycare/coworking or similar commercial use on the main floor. No construction or prime contractor has been approved by Council yet; the file is still at the land use approvals stage and will require Council readings and a public hearing before any building or servicing tenders.The submission already includes detailed site, landscape, transportation, parking and TDM concepts, indicating a complex, infrastructure‑intensive project in a transit‑served corridor. This creates an early‑stage opportunity for architects, civil and transportation engineers, sustainability, parking/TDM, daycare/coworking operators, and construction firms to build relationships with the developer (Hazlett Homes and Andrew Mills) and the District as the design, permitting, and eventual procurement strategy are refined.

Key technical issues flagged include reduced on‑site parking (9 stalls vs bylaw 26), transportation demand management program, site circulation and safety, tree removals and replacement to achieve canopy targets, utilities and frontage upgrades, and integration of below‑market ownership units with Habitat for Humanity. The project will trigger Development Cost Charges and Amenity Cost Charges estimated at 201020 CAD at building permit stage.
