Updates
October 21, 2024
Council approved several motions related to the Airport Zoning Regulation (AZR) currently in effect for the Willowbrook Community Plan area due to its proximity to the Langley Airport. The motions direct staff to seek an amendment and/or exemption for a portion of the Langley Airport Zoning Regulation (the “AZR”) within the Township of Langley, and to defer a new Willowbrook Community Plan until an aerodrome report is completed and submitted to Transport Canada for their consideration.
November 22, 2021
Township of Langley Council approved a scope and process for the Willowbrook community planning update. Goals and objectives for the Willowbrook community plan update include:
- A sustainable transit-oriented community that is more pedestrian and cycle-friendly, and can significantly influence travel patterns through more walking, cycling, and transit trips
- Defining a future built form and landscape character, place making elements, and sustainable community design that serves local needs and creates an attractive destination
- Identification of community amenities to support a future land use and development vision along with policy recommendations for securing community amenity contributions through a land value capture system
- Comprehensive public engagement that effectively communicates and involves property owners, local community stakeholders, external agencies, and the broader public in the planning process.
- Financial plan for the provision and maintenance of infrastructure services
