The Woods

Located at the corner of Latoria and Wishart Roads, The Woods is a three-phase development that comprises approximately 120 detached lots, 3 duplex lots, provision for up to 103 townhomes, a school and a park site. (Please see the Woods phasing plan below for lot numbers and locations.)

An Overview of "The Woods"

Lot sizes in The Woods are standard (520 - 799 sq.m.)or large (800 - 1199 sq m). At the centre of The Woods is a 2.2 ha site zoned to accommodate an elementary school. Although the School District advised the City of Colwood in 2005 that this site would not be required for a school, discussions are continuing in light of changing enrolment numbers and capacity in adjacent schools. Thoughts about alternate uses for this site such as single-family homes or open space, are not being pursued at this time.

A 1.3 ha park has been developed as a part of Phase 1A-2. On the eastern boundary of the housing is another 3.9 ha park which forms part of the perimeter pathway. This park with it's perimeter pathway affords fine views of the Olympic Mountains.

The western edge of The Woods along Wishart has a "no cut" buffer which is 10 metres in width. This protects the trees along the edge as well as provides a visual buffer.
