How can these properties be developed, or even renovated, in the future when you have two conflicting building bylaws and two conflicting zoning bylaws in effect?
The black line is the Oak Bay - Victoria boundary. This is Gonzales Hill area - the end of Barkley Terrace is in Victoria 345 and 339 on Foul Bay Road are split |
301 Denison Road has hte house split it two at 330 Denison the house is in Victoria but all the access is from Oak Bay |
This Foul Bay Road just north of McNeill The panhandle lot at 934 Foul Bay, what bylaws govern it? |
969 and 975 Brighton Crescent has houses split in two. Which police has jurisdiction? Do the backyards and front yards have to conform to different tree bylaws? How about keeping chickens? |
The final area with split properties |
I highlight these properties because they simply show utterly inane our municipal boundaries are in Victoria.

Interesting! During the depression era, my mother used to live on Sylan Lane on Gonzales Hill. Now she wishes to buy a house in either Oak Bay or East Saanich. These valid issues about the Victoria-Oak Bay boundaries make one want to reconsider possible future problems in development and real estate. Thank you for bringing this to light. :-)
