Township of Langley Plans
Aldergrove
The purpose of the Aldergrove Community Plan is to provide for long range orderly development in accordance with stated objectives; guide for day-to-day decision-making in the development process of the area; the basis for the preparation and adoption of the capital works program based on need; and the basis for the preparation and adoption of land use regulating bylaws and amendments to them.
Brookswood-Fernridge
The Brookswood-Fernridge Community Plan forms part of the Township of Langley Official Community Plan (OCP), which provides the long-term vision for sustainable growth and development in the Township as a whole. More detailed neighbourhood plans, which apply to portions of a Community Plan area, must be consistent with the policies delineated in the Community Plan.
Carvolth
The Carvolth Neighbourhood Plan represents a vision and implementation framework for creating a transit oriented, walkable and highly urban place at this important gateway to the Township of Langley. The new neighbourhood is envisioned to have a high quality of design and a balance of housing and jobs and be a regional showcase for sustainable neighbourhood design. It is projected to be home to approximately 5,000 residents and 12,800 jobs by build-out in 2041.
Central Gordon Estate
The Central Gordon Estate Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared to provide guidance and direction to future growth and development by establishing a decision making framework for land use, the natural environment, community facilities, engineering services and transportation. At its core, the Neighbourhood Plan seeks to create and maintain a high quality of life for current and future Central Gordon Estate residents. It is based on a strategy of a “completeness” and “livability”, fiscal responsibility, economic prosperity, and a healthy natural environment.
Jericho
The purpose of the Jericho Sub-Neighbourhood Plan (SNP) is to guide future growth and development within the Jericho neighbourhood located within a portion of Willoughby’s East and West Latimer in the Township of Langley (Township), see Map 1. The SNP will set out the policy and design framework for creation of a large-scale, innovative and comprehensively planned neighbourhood. It will be both adult-oriented (55+) with a health care focus as well as provide other housing and business opportunities. It will contain higher density mixed-use residential, commercial, institutional and related employment activities, complemented by public park / recreation and events facilities.
Latimer
In 2010, the Township of Langley authorized preparation of a neighbourhood plan for the Latimer Neighbourhood. As adopted by Council, the Latimer Neighbourhood Plan forms part of the broader Willoughby Community Plan. The Latimer Neighbourhood Plan provides a more detailed plan for an area within Willoughby, directing future growth and development in the neighbourhood. An accompanying engineering servicing plan identifies the location and capacity of existing and proposed future infrastructure, including transportation, water, sewer, and stormwater management facilities.
Murrayville
The Murrayville community is located on both sides of the Fraser Highway immediately east of the City of Langley. The plan area, shown on Map 1, is approximately 550 hectares (1,360 acres) in area and had an estimated population of 1,862 in 1986. The area consists predominantly of residential and agricultural uses with a number of institutional properties. Commercial and industrial uses are concentrated along and adjacent to the Fraser Highway. In recent years Murrayville has experienced slow growth due to the lack of a sanitary sewer system. The recent construction of the first phases of a sewer system is expected to result in higher growth rates in the future.
North East Gordon
The purpose of this plan is to guide future growth and development in the Northeast Gordon Estate neighbourhood in order to create a community that is livable, environmentally sustainable, fiscally responsible, and respectful of neighbouring land uses, heritage resources, and viewscapes. The Northeast Gordon Estate Plan (“the Plan”) provides a detailed decision making framework for future land use including guidelines for residential and commercial development, protection of the natural environment, provision of community facilities and municipal services including water, sewer, storm drainage and transportation. The plan was revised in 2012 based on a review of the 208 Street corridor as described in Section 1.1.1.
Routley
As stated in the Willoughby Plan, Willoughby is one of the few remaining areas of Langley Township designated for, and capable of, accommodating urban forms of development. While the Willoughby Plan provides general direction for future development, more detailed Neighbourhood Plans are required for the sub-areas of Willoughby. The Routley Neighbourhood Plan (NP) addresses land use, community facilities, infrastructure services and financing of services – for the sub-area bounded by 68th Avenue (south), 196 Street (west), 200 Street (east), and approximately 73A Avenue (north). The NP also provides a framework for building a new neighbourhood, based on a set of community values and development principles.
Smith
The Smith Neighbourhood Plan forms part of the broader Willoughby Community Plan. It provides a more detailed plan for an area within Willoughby, directing future growth and development in the neighbourhood. An accompanying Engineering Services Plan identifies the location and capacity of existing and proposed future infrastructure, including transportation, water, sewer, and stormwater management facilities.
South West Gordon
This document constitutes the Neighbourhood Plan for Southwest Gordon Estate. It guides development of the area in a way that complies with the objectives and policies of the Willoughby Community Plan. More specifically, the Neighbourhood Plan provides a detailed land use plan that reflects the natural characteristics of Southwest Gordon Estate, identifies community facilities requirements, defines infrastructure and servicing requirements, identifies development prerequisites and potential staging, and sets design guidelines for liveable and environmentally sensitive development. The Plan covers an area of 103 hectares (255 acres). It includes the southwestern part of the Gordon Estate Neighbourhood and a portion of the Willoughby Centre Neighbourhood, north of 72nd Avenue. It is bounded by the BC Gas pipeline right-of-way and a business park on the south, 200th Street on the west, and 202B Street, 68th Avenue, 206th Street, and the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) boundary on the north and east.
Walnut Grove
The Walnut Grove Community is a major growth area within the Township of Langley. Initiated in 1979, with the adoption of the Walnut Grove Community Plan, the development concept provides for a balanced self-contained community having a predominantly residential base, as well as commercial and institutional facilities suited to the area’s needs. The design population of Walnut Grove, including the urban residential area adjacent and north of 96 Avenue, is estimated to be approximately 22,000 when the area is fully developed.
Williams
The Williams Neighbourhood Plan sets out the vision, goals, and policies that will shape growth and development in Willams neighbourhood over the next 20 years and beyond. It provides an overall development framework for the neighbourhood and establishes policies related to land use, parks and open space, greenways and pedestrian connections, place making and identity, mobility and transportation, utilities, financial strategy and implementation.
Yorkson
The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared to provide guidance and direction to future growth and development by establishing a decision making framework for land use, the natural environment, community facilities, engineering services and transportation. At its core, the Neighbourhood Plan seeks to create and maintain a high quality of life for current and future Yorkson residents. It is based on a strategy of a “completeness” and “livability”, fiscal responsibility, economic prosperity, and a healthy natural environment.
