Rezoning Application 982-988 Bray Ave., Page 3, Item II
Dear Sustainable Development Committee,
I would like some clarification on the design considerations for accessibility and universal design.
Does this mean that the developer is not required to incorporate any accessibility designs but simply
consider them? I feel that movement towards Sustainable Development has not really changed all
that much from what was experienced in the past and permits continue to be passed in the same
expedited way as before. It would be a great moment for the City of Langford and a feather in the
cap to the developer to make this bold move forward to be inclusive without having to wait for the
Provincial Government say that one has to.
I do not have email addresses for the residents who are on this Committee and I’d like for them to see this message prior to the meeting.
I am learning all the time and appreciate your patience.
Sincerely,
P. Hamilton
Langford
