Romney Road

On behalf of Terry Johal Developments Ltd, we are pleased to introduce this Development Permit Application to construct two three-plexes on two single-family lots under the City of Victoria’s Missing Middle Housing Initiative (“MMHI”). Thoughtful consideration has been made to maximize tree retention, provide quality design that fits the existing neighborhood, and offer diverse housing options for new residents.

Several mature garry oaks are currently located within existing covenant areas on each lot, and we have supplemented these trees with additional indigenous plantings throughout. We also propose to fully landscape both boulevards with native shrubs, grasses, and wildflowers to provide an improved landscape buffer and enhance the natural garry oak ecosystem.

Nestled within a predominantly residential neighborhood, we aim to provide quality form and finish while appreciating the existing single-family homes and nearby infill housing. The homes have been deliberately oriented side by side for a traditional townhome feel, with street-facing entrances to enhance street vitality and the pedestrian experience.

Permeable paving, along with a vibrant mix of deciduous and evergreen plantings, will maintain a naturalized yet elegant front yard. Meanwhile, the rear yards will offer a naturalized, communal open space for children and families, promoting community interaction and outdoor enjoyment.
