^ Somehow I feel even this bit of outdoor parking could be gotten rid of, with a row of townhouses over underground parking. Or a row of townhouses tight to the property line, then a sidewalk, with parking under/behind.
I realize that's the highway but I don't see how the setting back helps those units much more that sitting 30 feet closer to the highway.

Starlight Developments Breaks Ground on New Purpose-Built Rental Homes in Central Saanich
December 15, 2022, Central Saanich, BC – Today, Starlight Developments broke ground on a new community of 235 purpose-built rental homes in Central Saanich, providing local residents with much-needed additional housing options. Bella Vista at 2515 Hackett Crescent on the Marigold Lands will add to the growing community alongside the popular Lochside Trail bike path.
“We are proud to be starting construction on this exciting new rental community and are humbled to be able to play a role in the growth and expansion of Central Saanich,” said Josh Kaufman, Vice President and Head of Development and Construction, Starlight Developments. “At Starlight, we are committed to the development of first-class, complete communities that provide the best in amenities and services to those who will call Bella Vista home. We have been aided in this goal by the hard-working staff at city council and within the municipal government at every step of the way and are thankful for their continued support."
The new homes will be spread across two six-storey buildings with amenities including electric vehicle (EV) and e-bike chargers, common roof-top decks, a gym, lounge, and courtyard. All units are pet-friendly, and the project includes an on-site dog run.
The project includes eight affordable homes, and a unique transportation strategy. While there will be parking spaces for rent, Starlight will offer bus tickets to tenants without a vehicle and up to $5,000 in Modo Car share memberships.
Bella Vista will fulfill 42 per cent of the District of Central Saanich’s identified rental housing need. The former Marigold Nursery was on site for 53 years before the property was rezoned in 2017 to provide for both market and rental homes as well as retail spaces.
The new project is located next to the Marigold Café.

Perhaps that's just a holding space for future development. A row of commercial services could go in there, or townhomes even.
Shovels hit dirt for the construction of 235 purpose-built rental homes to be spread across a pair of six-storey buildings at 2515 Hackett Cres. The buildings will offer electric vehicle and e-bike charging stations, common roof-top decks, a gym, lounge, and courtyard.
