The 2011 election included the following non-binding referendum question on the Esquimalt Village Plan:
Are you in favour of the Township of Esquimalt adopting amendments to Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2646 and Zoning Bylaw No. 2050 that would facilitate development of Phase One of the Esquimalt Village Plan which would include a mix of residential, commercial and civic uses in two buildings, one of which may be up to 12 storeys in height, on the site of the old municipal hall and old public works yard?
Results: Yes (1,510), No (690)
A public hearing regarding the amending bylaws will be held early in 2012. The referendum result will be included in a report to Council at that time, together with any additional public input.
