Project envisions three residential apartment buildings and 22 stacked townhouses in three separated townhouse blocks.

The public will get the chance to weigh in on a multi-family housing project proposed for the Gordon Head neighbourhood after Saanich council broke with district staff and decided not to postpone it.

The residential buildings are expected to be three storeys and the common amenity building would be two. Lee noted staff had recommended not moving the project forward until a number of details were worked out. But Lee said removing the underground parking stalls is key to making the project affordable, adding the current cost of establishing underground parking is between $75,000 and $80,000 per stall, which could add more than $4.5 million to the cost of construction.
