Discovering the future vision of Langley City is the primary focus of an upcoming open house at City Hall. Here’s what you need to know:
Open House Details
Scheduled for Wednesday, March 6, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., the open house will convene on the second floor at 20399 Douglas Crescent. Residents are encouraged to attend and actively contribute to the discussion.
New Zoning Regulations
The discussion will revolve around introducing new zoning regulations to update the current bylaw, which has aged over 25 years. These changes aim to accommodate the city’s growth and the impending arrival of the SkyTrain.
Community Engagement
Furthermore, the open house follows four neighborhood meetings held in October 2023, alongside an online public survey in late November. Gathering input from these avenues will help shape the new zoning regulations.
Incorporating Feedback
Aligning with the City’s Official Community Plan (OCP), adopted in 2021, the new zoning regulations will establish specific requirements for building design and land use. These regulations will be based on the OCP’s direction and feedback from residents, business owners, and the development community.
Phases of Development
Moreover, the feedback received during the open house and other engagement activities will inform the initial phase of the process. This feedback will be instrumental in developing a draft zoning bylaw in the second phase. Finally, the proposed bylaw will undergo consideration and adoption by the council in the third phase.
Conclusion
The open house presents a unique opportunity for residents to shape the future of Langley City actively. By engaging in the discussion and providing feedback, community members can play a pivotal role in guiding the city’s development. Stay tuned for updates as the zoning regulations progress through the phases of development.
