Oak Bay Lodge Planning
The Capital Regional Hospital District (CRHD) Board received a report with an update on planning for Oak Bay Lodge. On July 8, 2020, the CRD Board directed staff to explore the possibility of offering Oak Bay Lodge to BC Housing as COVID-19 temporary housing for people experiencing homelessness. The existing zoning on the site does not support the temporary use of the facility for this purpose and two covenants exist on the property stating that the land be used for public good and that the property must be used as a retirement home. As a result, BC Housing recommends finding other facilities that will meet its need and urgency to provide temporary housing within the region. The CRHD will continue its redevelopment process and public consultation as planned this fall in conjunction with the District of Oak Bay.

Solid Waste Management Plan – Traffic Impact Analysis
The CRD Board approved a recommendation that staff report back through the Environmental Services Committee on the additional consultation plan for the residents of Willis Point, Highlands and the Hartland Area. Staff were previously directed to undertake additional work to better understand the potential impacts of moving the commercial truck entrance at Hartland Landfill. A current season traffic impact study will be conducted as an update to the original report, and results will help inform the decision in conjunction with the updated Solid Waste Management Plan.
