  • Status of the Golden Paintbrush in British Columbia
    Status of the Golden Paintbrush in British Columbia by Michael Ryan and George W. Douglas Wildlife Bulletin No. B-91 March 1999 British Columbia, Canada’s most westerly province, has a bounty of biological diversity. British Columbia’s snowclad peaks, rain-drenched forests, arid grasslands, all sizes of rivers, lakes, and wetlands, and a long and rugged coast provide habitats for more species of living organisms than are found anywhere else in Canada. However, this very diversity means that there is much to be discovered about these organisms — their distribution, abundance, habitat requirements, and interrelationships with their environment. Increasing our knowledge of this biodiversity will help us with the complex task of sustainably managing our land and waters. In 1992, the Provincial Government initiated a co-operative biodiversity research program with funding from the Corporate Resource Inventory Initia- tive, the British Columbia Ministries of Forests (Research Branch), Environment, Lands, and Parks (Wildlife and Habitat Protection Branches), and Tourism and Culture (Royal B.C. Museum); and the Forest Resource Develop- ment Agreement (FRDA II). In 1996, funding from Forest Renewal BC (FRBC) was received for a biodiversity research extension proposal. One goal of the original research program, and more recently the FRBC extension project, is to extend information to scientists, resource managers, and the public through biodiversity publications. These publications are intended to increase awareness and understanding of biodiversity, promote the concepts and importance of conserving biodiversity, and communicate provincial government initiatives related to biodiversity. We hope that they will be used as tools for the conservation of British Columbia’s rich, living legacy.

SUMMARY The applicant, Pacific Centre Family Services Association (PCFSA), is preparing to subdivide 324 Goldstream Avenue in order to support the development of an affordable housing complex with 104 units by the Greater Victoria Housing Society (GVHS). Accordingly, an application for a zoning text amendment for the property located at 324 Goldstream Avenue has been requested to delete the requirement for Community Amenity Contributions (CACs), include Attached Housing to the list of permitted uses, remove the commercial requirement, and minor administrative changes. Further to this, GVHS is seeking relaxations to the front yard setback, to the side yard setback, and to delete the requirement for sloped roofs. GVHS is also requesting financial support from the City of Colwood with regard to affordable housing; the request for financial support beyond what is available within the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund may be challenging given Colwood's existing tax base.
