EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2014 marked the final year of the three-year electoral mandate given to the Council elected in December 2011. The 2014 City of Langford Council consisted of:
Mayor Stewart Young
Councillor Denise Blackwell
Councillor Matt Sahlstrom
Councillor Lanny Seaton
Councillor Winnie Sifert
Councillor Lillian Szpak
Councillor Roger Wade The Standing Committee system adopted by Council just after the City incorporated has continued with the new Council. The Committees benefit from the significant continuity of citizen participation, resulting in the provision of advice to Council from the community. The contribution of volunteer citizens are an effective means of ensuring Langford residents are an important part of the decision-making process. Administration Department The Administration Department provides leadership to all employees, ensures directives are implemented in a timely cost-effective manner and that al legislative and regulatory requirements of the City are met. The department also provides clerical and staff support for the Administrator and Council. Land Development / Approving Officer Building Department Overall construction activity in Langford was very robust in 2014. All sectors were strong, and two large projects – Belmont Secondary School and the Westhills YMCA-YWCA Langford Aquatic Centre – boosted the overall level of economic activity to double the level of 2013. The Building Department continues to promote economic development, by providing streamlined Building Permit services, as well as public health and safety, through the application and enforcement of building codes and standards. Bylaw Enforcement (Community Safety and Municipal Enforcement) Our Officers continue to address a wide range of issues to make certain the public is well informed and respectful of others in the community. We also ensure risk for all residents is minimized and that our community remains as safe and enjoyable as it can be. We work closely with many agencies and through this provide the highest levels of service. Animal Control This is a vital service that for years has been provided under contract to Langford citizens through the Capital Regional District Animal Care Department. The CRD provide a high level of service and communicate regularly with the Community Safety and Municipal Enforcement Department here at the City of Langford. This includes regular statistical reporting and collaboration for certain files or activities.

Engineering Department The department continued to construct bikelanes, beautify the City with hanging baskets and Christmas lights, maintain the City’s roads, sidewalks and streetlighting, operate the trolley and facilitate land development. 2014 saw the start of construction of the Willing Park Stormwater Detention Pond which is a Flood Protection Program grant project. Asset management continued to be a key component of field work for Engineering staff. Fire Rescue Department The Fire Rescue Department is a composite fire department made up of 8 career and 53 volunteer members operating from three Stations within the City. The Fire Rescue Department functions include fire suppression, first response, auto extrication, water rescue, rope rescue and technical high angle rescue. The Department provides fire and life safety education, fire safety inspections and fire investigations. Station 1 is the location of the CRD Regional Fire Dispatch Centre, established in 2013. Parks and Recreation Department A number of playground upgrades were completed in 2014 including Veteran’s Memorial Park, Glen Lake Beach, and A. T. Gordon. The City and the ball club resurfaced 3 diamonds at Centennial Park and various other volunteer groups assisted in removing invasive species and replanting natural areas. Numerous events were held at City Centre Park including the America’s Rugby Championship.
A Public Open House was successfully held in May to allow input from residents on future projects. Planning Department The number of applications received by Langford in 2014 increased slightly from 140 in 2013 to 154 in 2014. The Planning Department continues to work towards a comprehensive revision of Zoning Bylaw No. 300, and completed an Age-Friendly Action plan that was funded by an $18,000 grant from the Union of BC Municipalities. Westshore Royal Canadian Mounted Police The City of Langford is policed under contract by the Westshore Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) whose main office building is located within the City of Langford. The RCMP also provide policing services to the remainder of the West Shore from their Langford detachment.

Land Development / Approving Officer Department Overview
Land Development Administration Synopsis
Land Development became a department within City hall in 2014.
By creating Land Development as a department, the act of subdivision was removed from Engineering’s
jurisdiction and now speaks to the requirements of the development while Engineering speaks to the
services and bylaw requirements for servicing.
While the Approving Officer (AO) must meet the regulatory requirements of Development (such as the
Local Government Act, Strata Property Act etc.), the Approving Officer does have some discretion in
applying standards to developments. Those standards are largely obtained from the direction of Council
as written in various Bylaws and regulations (Zoning Bylaw, Subdivision and Development Services
Bylaw, Building Bylaw). The Land Development Department works closely with Planning, Engineering,
and Building in the review and application of their specific Bylaws and regulations in regards to
developing land.
Results from Past Year (2014)
Fees and Services
Land Development fees have remained fixed since 2010 (since the economic stimulus package) with one
exception – a one-time charge of $125.00 for reports requesting Council consideration for lots that do
not meet the minimum requirement of having 10% of its perimeter located along its frontage. All other
fees are payable on a per-lot basis, and are only paid to the City as a project moves forward, which is
based on client goals.
Approving Officer
There have been two instances which came forward in 2014 where the Approving Officer has required
works and services of a higher standard than the City’s Bylaw, and these are both in regards to utility
services.
BC Hydro – the right for a party to live “off the grid” is a right of the owner, however the
Approving Officer must consider a person’s ability to live “off the grid” and consider if that
ability is reasonable for each development case.
o In Langford, where humidity and moisture combine with temperature; a source of heat and
energy is necessary for all residential properties. This energy could come from rivers
(individual run-of-the-river power collection systems), wind or solar, however we do not
have rivers of significant flow, or wind of significant duration, nor solar of sufficient length to
enable the development to be serviced without a secondary supply; i.e. BC Hydro supplied
power. It is for this reason that the Approving Officer requires connection to BC Hydro
systems as a condition of development.
City of Langford Page 11 of 103 Annual Report, 2014
Telecommunication – in 2014, service objectives in regards to telecommunication were
removed from the City’s Development and Services bylaw. The removal of this clause implied
that the developer did not need to install any works and services to new homes in regards to
telecommunication.
o While cellular technology is everywhere, most residential properties receive internet (and
sometimes phone) through dedicated wires brought along the front of their property prior
to service to their home. Society is not yet at a place where everywhere is “wi-fi” nor can all
parties be required nor expected to have a cell phone. The result of not servicing the
roadway with telecommunication at the time that the roadway is being built results in utility
companies cutting/replacing newly installed asphalt once they get a request for service (and
the City being forced to approve such a damaging impact to a new roadway). This may also
result in road right-of-way deficiencies.
o Due to the service implications and cost to remove and repair a section of roadway, the
installation of telecommunication lines remains a condition of development, however it is
now the developers right to negotiate with either Telus or Shaw (or other service provider)
for the installation of services. This will be reviewed by the Approving Officer on an annual
basis.
Subdivision Application and Approval Synopsis
Subdivision activity for 2014 was city wide, with Bear Mountain (Ecoasis) re-commencing activity with
the registration of an 18-lot subdivision, continued development in Westhills and the Happy Valley Area
and new areas coming forward from the recent sales/purchase of several previously held Provincial
Capital Commission parcels located adjacent to the Trans Canada Highway. There were a number of in-
fill style developments throughout existing neighborhoods (north and south Langford).

Objectives and Measures for Coming Year (2015)
Staff intends to propose the following changes to process and fees in 2015;
Fees Review: Langford vs other municipal charges in Greater Victoria
o Staff reviewed six municipalities in regards to Subdivision fees in 2013 in response to a
report called the “Greater Victoria Business Conditions Report”. We were found to be
reasonable, but suggest that this fee review occur every two years (minimum) or as directed
by Council. Staff intend to perform a review of fees for Subdivision (Langford vs. six
adjacent municipalities) in 2015 and will bring forward the results of this review for Council
consideration.
Fee review: for 10 lots or fewer
o Staff time on each subdivision application varies greatly, but it can be found that developing
few lots (10 or less) takes a greater resource of staff time in processing than a larger
subdivision application. This may be due to the in-fill nature of the type of subdivision and
that these types of developments are typically more difficult in nature due to existing
conditions, or alternately the higher demand on staff resources may be due to the
experience of the developer. Staff propose to perform a review of timing and fees for
developments of 10 new lots or fewer and bring that forward for Council consideration in
2015.
Revise timing of Payables
o At present the act of subdivision requires four different payments, each payable at different
points in time relative to the process as directed by the Developer. This has become
confusing and has the appearance of staff always requesting fees be paid. This shift in the
timing of payables is not proposed to increase fees, but merely relocate existing payables.
City of Langford Page 15 of 103 Annual Report, 2014
Presently there are four payments (1. Application for SoC, 2. Pre-design, 3. Pre-construction
and 4. Application for Final), and this is proposed to be reduced to 3 payments (1.
Application for SoC which will include the Pre-Design charges, 2. Pre-Construction and 3.
Application for Final)
Delegation Bylaw – Servicing Agreements
o Servicing Agreements are an agreement between the City and a Developer of land to
complete any works and services necessary for a development within a certain time frame
for a set value of funds. These agreements only occur when a developer has requested the
City enter into it because the developer has not completed the works necessary to complete
the development (whether that be a subdivision or building permit). The agreement and
receipt of funds enables the City to complete any works on behalf of the developer if that
party fails to do so. The funds allow for this completion of works to be paid for by the
developer, not the City.
The Local Government Act allows these types of agreements to be delegated from Council to staff. It
would be proposed to Council that they may consider delegating the agreement signatories from Mayor
and Clerk and corporate officer down to staff (such as the City Engineer and Chief Administrative Officer
and have those signatures witnessed by the Approving Officer).

Building Department
Department Overview Overall construction activity in Langford was very robust in 2014. All sectors were strong, and two large projects – Belmont Secondary School and the Westhills YMCA-YWCA Langford Aquatic Centre – boosted the overall level of economic activity to double the level of 2013. The Building Department continues to promote economic development, by providing streamlined Building Permit services, as well as public health and safety, through the application and enforcement of building codes and standards.

Objectives and Measures for the Coming Year (2015)
In 2015, the Building Department will continue to:
promote economic development through the expedited issuance of Building Permits;
promote public health and safety through the application and enforcement of building codes and standards; and
promote the understanding of building regulations by assisting and supporting the development community through the recent Code changes regarding energy efficiency.
Success will be measured by the degree to which we enable continued building activity in Langford while still holding paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public.

Bylaw Enforcement Department Overview Making better use of technology has increased our Officer efficiencies over the past year. In connection with a new file management system, the department’s patrol vehicles are now equipped with modems and radio connectivity to the file servers at City Hall. This means that when in the field, our Officers can open and update files, and access any and all information as if they were sitting at a desk right at City Hall. Incoming phone calls are forwarded directly to Officers while on the road and in many cases, complaints can be investigated within minutes of being received. Through 2014, our citizens have been pleasantly astonished to find a Bylaw Enforcement Officer responding and on their doorstep within minutes of making a complaint. The diligent work of our Officers coupled with this new efficiency has been one of the reasons we have been able to sidestep the need of taking on additional staff to keep up with the increase in complaints from our growing community.
Results from 2014 Summer Parks and Trail Patrols – Our department had another very rewarding summer, particularly with the bike patrols of City Parks, beaches and the expanding Trails network. The significance of this community safety presence to the public was frequently commented on as Park and Trail users thanked our Officers for being out with watchful eyes within these public spaces. Traffic/Parking Issues - Dealing with parking complaints has become a significant area of attention for our Officers. While a small number of the 1448 traffic files opened through the year (up from 1198 in 2013) can be attributed to Officer observed uninsured vehicles parked on City streets, the majority of these come directly from complaints received by the City from the public. A small number of files are as a result of our Officers proactively defending the new and existing bike lanes when vehicles are seen parked on those – our early efforts saw a remarkable reduction in bike lane violations toward the latter part of the summer. Our department recognizes the importance of the emerging cycling network to the community and our efforts continue to ensure these lanes remain an accessible and safe part of Langford’s infrastructure.
City of Langford Page 20 of 103 Annual Report, 2014
In 2014, the Bylaw Enforcement Department mounted a successful appeal of a lower level Court decision through the Supreme Court of BC. There was concern that the lower level decision would create “bad” case law for all local government bodies in Canada – as well as allow for a continued improper land use in our community that was clearly contrary to the Zoning Bylaw. The standard demands for enforcement of Langford’s Zoning, Building Regulation, Noise Abatement, Soils and other Bylaws continues to grow with the community and those demands are reflected within the comparison chart on the following page.
Objectives and Measures for Coming Year (2015)
Continue to provide the high levels of service expected by Council and our citizens.
Operate another successful Parks, beaches, trails and core area patrol function during
the summer months.
Maintain those strong interagency relationships which benefit the community.
Continue to take advantage of technological advances to uphold our superior
efficiencies.
Below: Our Officers oversee steps in a significant property cleanup project.

Planning Department The Planning Department is responsible for the administration of current and long range planning for the City of Langford. Current planning addresses development and day-to-day land use issues, including zoning, development permits and development variance permit applications. Long range planning addresses changes to the City’s Official Community Plan and land use regulations. The Planning Department also assists the Parks Manager in park planning.
Results from Past Year (2014) Applications: The number of applications received by Langford increased from 140 in 2013 to 154 in 2014. Development Variance Permit applications saw a significant decrease in numbers, while Development Permit and Zoning applications increased. Some significant applications include:
Belmont School Rezoning: - construction of new retail floorspace and residential units on this property should commence in September 2015 and will likely add over 300,000 ft2 of commercial retail floorspace to Langford’s city centre.
District 1 Mixed Use Employment Centre: the City of Langford rezoned an unprecedented number of properties situated southwest of the Leigh Road Interchange for a new mixed use employment centre which may include a variety of business and technology uses, educational cultural and recreational uses, restaurant, retail and service commercial uses as well as a variety of multi-family residential uses.
YMCA: the City processed a Development Permit and omnibus zoning bylaw amendment in a timely manner to facilitate the commencement of the YMCA pool at Westhills;
Corporate Energy and Emissions Reduction: By signing BC’s Climate Action Charter, Langford has committed to become carbon neutral in its corporate operations by 2012, which involves measuring and reporting on the City’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions profile. In taking action to fulfill this requirement, Langford has signed onto the Province of British Columbia’s SmartTool, a web based carbon reporting tool which provides a standardized approach to calculating and reporting the City’s GHG emissions. In 2014, staff have been working with the Carbon Measurement and Reporting team at Shared Services BC to establish a corporate GHG emissions inventory. This inventory documents fuel types (electricity, natural gas, propane, etc.) and measures GHG emissions produced by buildings, vehicle fleets, and the City’s contracted services to operate vehicles, equipment and machinery for roads and traffic operations and maintenance, and water maintenance. The inventory is still being developed, however this tool will allow Langford to measure corporate GHG emissions in an efficient, cost effective and consistent manner. In addition, it will provide staff and Council with the information and data it needs to make fiscally responsible decisions with respect to reducing GHG emissions at the corporate level while benefiting the community at large. Zoning Bylaw Revision: The Planning Department continues to make changes to Zoning Bylaw No. 300. These changes have been presented in manageable, “bite-sized” pieces, which when complete will represent a comprehensive revision of this central land use regulation. Affordable Housing: To date, forty (40) single-family affordable housing units and eight (8) affordable apartment units have been built and sold within Langford’s Affordable Housing Program. While no new homes were added to the Program in 2014, two single-family homes were re-sold within the Program.
City of Langford Page 35 of 103 Annual Report, 2014
Age-friendly Community Planning & Project Grant: The city received an $18,000.00 grant from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities to develop an Age-friendly Action Plan in 2014. The public consultation process and drafting of the Plan were completed during the summer and fall of 2014, and the plan was adopted by Council in January, 2015.
