2002 / 2004 Romney Road | Missing Middle

On behalf of Terry Johal Developments Ltd, we are pleased to introduce this Development Permit Application to construct 2 three-plexes on 2 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 neighbourhood 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 neighbourhood, we are looking to provide quality form and finish with an appreciation of existing single-family homes and infill housing nearby. Homes have been deliberately oriented side by side for a traditional townhome feel with street-facing entrances to enhance street vitality and pedestrian experience. Permeable paving with a vibrant mix of deciduous and evergreen plantings maintains a naturalized yet elegant front yard while the rear yards offer a naturalized, communal open space for children and families.
