Explanation by the Proponent:
Harrison Han, Parklane Ventures, 555 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, was in

attendance and introduced his colleagues and project team members. He
noted that the proposed town homes would be consistent with
neighbourhood development. He added there are three schools within
walking distance making the proposed development perfect for families. He
added that the proposed development would be split into two parcels: one
north and one on the south side of 56 Avenue. He continued that 50 Avenue
would be extended to the top of hill, meeting 222 Street and connecting with
49 Avenue, at full road width. He added that residents would have an
alternate route to use, providing a net benefit to congestion now faced at the
west end of 50 Avenue.
He continued that the intersection at 55 Avenue and 221 Street would

operate at 10% of its capacity. He noted that a full year recreation pass
would be offered as a contribution to the Township’s Parks and Recreation
program. He added that a meeting was held with strata members of two
nearby strata developments to address privacy and attractive interface
concerns. He noted that there would be 41 significant Douglas Fir, Western
Red Cedar and other smaller trees retained north and south of 50 Avenue, a
substantial green buffer, four child friendly amenity areas, common entry and
linked pedestrian through the site.
Mr. Han added that the proposed tree replacement plan exceeds by the
bylaw by 140 trees. He provided a description of the housing form and
character noting there would be three general multi family sites, featuring a
full 7.5 meter setback along shared property lines. Parking on site includes
two stalls inside, 15 spaces on certain roads, and 47 visitor stalls. He noted
that they are seeking a variance on the number of stalls and added that they
are not seeking to dedicating street parking for their use.
Norm Hall, Arbourist, was in attendance and commented that tree retention is
better achieved in multi-family developments. He continued that the western
one third portion of the site is currently clear of trees, with poplar trees along
Page 11 of 241

B. PUBLIC HEARING
Fraser Highway. He added that the southern one third of the site are mostly
western red cedars. He continued that there were only two viable stands of
trees based on existing condition of trees. He noted that there would be
sufficient good habitat for wildlife and suggested user larger sized trees or
more densified buffer areas.
Deana Grinnell, Parklane Homes, was in attendance and commented that

there would be a net benefit to traffic conditions with the completion of 50
Avenue and the proposed development. She noted that traffic impacts would
continue to be less than 10% of capacity. She added that strata councils
would have a role in managing parking; restrictive covenants restrict garages
for uses other than parking as well as parking out of stalls. She continued
that there would be opportunities to provide for pedestrian outlet at Fraser
Highway. She commented that a construction traffic management plan
would be in place; that the south parcel is envisioned at 18 units per acre in
the OCP, super mailboxes would be addressed in the landscape plan.

REPORT TO
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
PRESENTED: OCTOBER 5, 2009 - REGULAR MEETING REPORT: 09-121

FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION FILE: 11-02-0035
SUBJECT: PROVINCIAL AGRICULTURAL LAND COMMISSION
APPLICATION NO. 100180
(JUDITH AND LEON BROWN)
PROPOSAL:
Subdivision of a 1.83 ha (4.54 acre) parcel located at 7991 –
232 Street into four equally sized parcels of 0.45 ha (1.13
acres) each within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY:
That Council support the subject Agricultural Land Reserve
subdivision application for consideration by the Provincial
Agricultural Land Commission.
RATIONALE:
The property is in the ALR and presently zoned for the
proposed lot size. However, the Rural Plan indicates
that a more detailed plan should be prepared
establishing policies for future growth, subdivision
and agriculture in the Salmon River Uplands
area. The recommendation is consistent with
the existing zoning of the property and the
permitted minimum parcel size.

PROVINCIAL AGRICULTURAL LAND COMMISSION
Page 2 . . .
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Council advise the Provincial Agricultural Land Commission (PALC) that the Agricultural
Land Reserve subdivision application submitted by Judith and Leon Brown for property located
at 7991 – 232 Street is supported for consideration by the PALC.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant, pursuant to section 21(2) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act, has applied to
subdivide a 1.83 ha (4.54 acres) property located within the Salmon River Uplands area of the
Rural Plan into 4 (four) equally sized parcels of 0.45ha (1.13 acres) each. It is recommended
that Council support the application for consideration by the PALC. However, the Rural Plan,
adopted by Council in July 1993, indicates that a more detailed plan should be prepared
establishing policies for future growth, subdivision and agriculture in the Salmon River Uplands
area. As such, should the application be approved by the PALC, the subdivision may not be
finalized until such time as an assessment of minimum lot sizes in the Salmon River
Uplands/Hopington Aquifer areas has been completed and more particularly the water and
waste water issues associated with subdivisions have been addressed.
The Water Management Plan has now been submitted to the Province and an analysis of waste
water issues is currently under way. In light of the progress on the Township’s Water
Management Plan and the anticipated completion of a decentralized sewerage systems plan in
the coming months, a policy framework around the technical water and waste water issues
could potentially be finalized in 2010, subject to Council approval and availability of adequate
resources.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with information and a recommendation with
respect to an Agricultural Land Reserve subdivision application submitted under Section 21(2)
of the Agricultural Land Commission Act by Judith and Leon Brown.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
REFERENCE:
Owner: Judith and Leon Brown
Legal Description: Lot 11, District Lot 319, Group 2, New Westminster District
Plan 1658
Location: 7991- 232 Street
Area: 1.83 ha (4.54 acres)
Existing Zoning: Suburban Residential Zone SR-1
Minimum Parcel Size: 0.3716 ha ( 0.92 acres)
Rural Plan Designation: Salmon River Uplands
Hopington Aquifer: Not located within the Hopington Aquifer
E.S.A. Designation: E.S.A. # 031

Upland around Fort Langley Floodplain
(Rating # 3)
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
The subject property is located in the Agricultural Land Reserve (enacted in 1973) on property
designated Salmon River Uplands in the Rural Plan (adopted 1993) and currently zoned
Suburban Residential Zone SR-1 having a minimum lot size for subdivision of 3,716m2 (40,000
sq. ft.). The property is not located over the Hopington Aquifer.
On October 24, 2005, a similar subdivision application was submitted for the subject property.
At that time Council endorsed the application to the Provincial Agricultural Land Commission.
However in a letter dated April 11, 2006 the Provincial Agricultural Land Commission refused
the application indicating that the property had good agricultural capabilities that would be
severely restricted if the property was subdivided.
The applicants resubmitted the application in 2007. Council, on July 23, 2007, resolved not to
support the application. The staff report indicated that several subdivision applications have
been submitted in the Salmon River Uplands area and that the Rural Plan’s land use policies
did not provide guidance for the disposition of subdivision applications in the Salmon River
Uplands/Hopington Aquifer areas. A challenge exists as some properties, such as the subject
site, are currently zoned for minimum one acre parcel size whereas some others are not zoned
but located outside the ALR. While it would be appropriate to consider properties that are not
zoned or designated as part of a larger plan review, the disposition of zoned properties would
best be addressed through the resolution of technical issues.
Page 21 of 241
D.1
Page 8 . . .
DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS:
The applicants have applied under Section 21(2) of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) Act to
subdivide a 1.83 ha (4.54 acres) parcel into 4 equal sized parcels of 0.45 ha (1.13 acres) each.
The minimum lot size required for subdivision pursuant to the property’s existing SR-1 zoning is
0.3716 (0.92 acres).
The Rural Plan designates the subject property as “Salmon River Uplands” for the purposes of
maintaining lands for rural residential and agricultural uses. The Rural Plan (adopted in 1993)
further states that: “a more detailed plan will be prepared setting out the policies for future
growth, subdivision and agriculture in this area.” The Rural Plan’s land use policies did not
provide guidance for minimum lot sizes and subdivisions in the Salmon River Uplands area. A
challenge exists as some properties are zoned for a one acre lot sizes whereas others are
designated but not zoned. It is appropriate to consider properties designated but not zoned as
part of a larger plan review but difficult to delay consideration of properties zoned unless such
properties are in the process of being rezoned to a larger parcel size.
Description of Property:
The property is currently occupied by a single family home (double wide mobile) located on the
eastern end of the property having access to 232 Street. A single wide mobile home is located
on the western end of the property having access onto 80 Ave. The site is mostly flat and
cleared of vegetation with a few small stands of trees and shrubs along the south and westerly
edges. Two small yellow coded water courses are located on the property that will require
protection at the subdivision stage.
Adjacent Properties:
North: Five 0.3716 ha (0.92 acres) suburban residential properties (zoned SR-1). The four
eastern most lots are located within the Agricultural Land Reserve;
East: 232 Street, beyond which are rural properties (designated Agricultural/Countryside in the
Rural Plan, zoned RU-3), ranging in size from 3.23 ha (8.0 acres) to 12.24 ha (30.26);
South: Suburban Residential properties (zoned SR-1), located within the Agricultural Land
Reserve, ranging in size from 0.3716 ha (1.13 acres) to 1.82 ha (4.5 acres);
West: Suburban Residential properties (zoned SR-1), located within the Agricultural Land
Reserve, ranging in size from 0.3716 ha (1.13 acres) to 2.26 ha (5.60 acres).
AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE:
In accordance with Council’s policy, the application will be forwarded to the Agricultural Advisory
Committee (AAC) for information purposes.
Page 22 of 241
D.1
Page 9 . . .
Servicing:
Services exist to a rural standard except for community water which is available. If the
application were to be approved, the applicant would be required to provide septic systems and
community water services to the proposed new lots in compliance with servicing provisions of
the Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw. No additional access will be permitted onto
232 Street and no further road dedication will be required.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS:
The subject property is located in the Agricultural Land Reserve in an area designated by the
Rural Plan as the Salmon River Uplands; and is zoned Suburban Residential SR-1 with a
minimum parcel size of just under one acre. Currently there are no specific plans detailing
Council’s subdivision policy over the Salmon River Uplands area. In its previous resolution of
July 2007, Council stated that the proposed subdivision application of the subject property
would only be considered within the context of a comprehensive review of minimum parcel sizes
within the Salmon River Uplands/Hopington Aquifer area. It should be noted the property is
currently zoned for the density contemplated and therefore can be distinguished from other
properties designated but not zoned.

REPORT TO
MAYOR AND COUNCIL

FROM: FINANCE DIVISION FILE: 1970-04
SUBJECT: 2009 AMENDMENT TO THE PERMISSIVE EXEMPTION BYLAWS
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Council receive this report with recommendations regarding the 2009 Amendment to the
Permissive Tax Exemption Bylaws; and further
That Council give first, second and third reading to Permissive Tax Exemption Amending Bylaw
2009 No. 4775.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Township adopted three separate property tax exemption bylaws in 2004 for church and
private schools organizations; heritage properties; and charitable and not-for-profit
organizations. These bylaws must be maintained to ensure continuing compliance with the
statutory requirements of eligibility and also update the existing bylaws with additions as new
eligible organizations establish themselves in Township of Langley. Consequently, after a
review of this year’s tax exemptions applications, the following recommendations are being
brought forward for Council’s consideration.
Staff are recommending the removal, from Church and Private School Tax Exemption Bylaw
2004 No. 4348 of the following organization:
• Trustees of Jubilee Pastoral (Jubilee United Church)
Staff are recommending the addition, to Church and Private School Tax Exemption Bylaw
2004 No. 4348 of the following organization:
• Aldergrove Vineyard Christian Fellowship
Staff are recommending the addition, to Charitable and Not-For-Profit Exemptions Bylaw
2004, No. 4347 of the following organizations:
• Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation
• Fraser Health Authority
• The Land Conservancy – Nicomekl Community Organic Farm
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to update two of the Township’s permissive tax exemption bylaws,
Church and Private School Tax Exemption Bylaw 2004 No. 4348 and Charitable and Not-For-
Profit Exemption Bylaw 2004 No. 4347 as per recommendations above.

2009 AMENDMENT TO THE PERMISSIVE EXEMPTION BYLAWS
Page 2 . . .
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
In 2004 the Community Charter changed the procedure for permissive tax exemptions. The
Township adopted three bylaws for permissive tax exemption: Church and Private School Tax
Exemption Bylaw 2004 No. 4348, Charitable and Not-For-Profit Tax Exemption Bylaw 2004
No. 4347 and Heritage Tax Exemption Bylaw 2004 No. 4349. Each of these bylaws requires
that properties that no longer meet the statutory requirements for the tax exemption be removed
from the bylaw. Similarly, new organizations that meet the requirements may be added.
Certain properties that are granted a tax exemption by Council are required to be advertised in
the local newspaper.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Council’s policy regarding permissive exemptions is a combination of the permissive exemption
criteria and past practice. Starting with the 2009 Budget process, the Province now requires
municipalities to develop and disclose the objectives regarding the use of permissive
exemptions through a permissive exemption policy. It is the Province’s objective that the policy
for making decisions for the permissive exemption sections 224 and 225 promote consistency
and certainty to municipal, public and prospective applicants and allow for public to have input
during the process for budget adoption.
Church and Private School Tax Exemption – Removal

Staff recommends that Trustees of Jubilee Pastoral (Jubilee United Church) should be
removed from the Church and Private School Tax Exemption Bylaw 2004 No. 4348 as they no
longer meet the requirements for permissive exemption.
The Trustees of Jubilee Pastoral (Jubilee United Church) previously met all the requirements as
outlined in the Permissive Tax Exemption application as the Church was providing worship on
land which they owned and were hoping to develop. However, due to vandalism of the various
tents and equipment used to provide worship they found it necessary to sell the property and
therefore will no longer own the property.
Charitable and Not-For-Profit Organizations – Additions

Staff recommends that three new organizations be added to this bylaw. Langley Memorial
Hospital Foundation; Fraser Health Authority and The Land Conservancy will be added to the
Charitable and Not-For-Profit Tax Exemption Bylaw 2004 No. 4347.
Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation owns Lot 4 which is located near the Langley
Memorial Hospital and is currently being used as a staff parking lot for Langley Memorial
Hospital employees. The net revenue over expenses from the parking fees is used for the
purposes of providing essential equipment for the Langley Memorial Hospital. Prior to the 2008
property tax year, British Columbia Assessment provided a statutory property tax exemption for
Lot 4 under the Community Charter section 220. In June of 2007 British Columbia Assessment
removed Lot 4 from the statutory exemption list because the lot is not owned by Fraser Health
Authority and the lot needed to be “Designated” for future hospital purposes by the Minister of
Health.
Fraser Health Authority leases property, from Gateway Properties Limited, which is being
used to store all of the necessary daily supplies for Fraser Health Authority hospitals, including
prescription drugs. The site contains pandemic supplies and vaccines in the event of a
breakout, Red Cross supplies of material for our major hospitals, mobile triage emergency
Page 34 of 241

Page 3 . . .
equipment and so forth. The site also operates as an emergency operations centre in the event
of a major catastrophe.
The Land Conservancy (TLC) – Nicomekl Community Organic Farm is a non-profit,

charitable land trust with a mandate to protect farmland for local food production, conservation
of biodiversity, public education and demonstration of Community Farm Programs. TLC is
currently leasing this property, owned by Crown Provincial. TLC has 4 years left on the lease
from The Crown and has made application for lease replacement to be extended for 30 years.
Church and Private School Tax Exemption – Additions

Staff recommends that Aldergrove Vineyard Christian Fellowship be added to the Church and
Private School Tax Exemption Bylaw 2004 No. 4347 as they meet the requirements for
permissive exemptions.
Aldergrove Vineyard Christian Fellowship is providing worship and similarly related religious
and community activities such as free pancake breakfasts and monthly suppers. This church
has a seating capacity for approximately 150 people and approximately 40 people for the
various free meals to the community. This church was previously occupying property in the
former Elks Hall which was permissively exempt. This property is currently owned by 2903
Shangri-La Holdings Limited and is leased to Aldergrove Vineyard Church.
Applicable Policies:
Subject to the Community Charter Section 224, the Township of Langley provides an exemption
from property taxation annually to non-profit-organizations and community facilities serving the
Township and its residents. The criteria for permissive exemptions are described on the
application form as per Attachment “A” to this report. The criteria are as follows:
COMMUNITY FACILITY - INFORMATION AND CRITERIA

Community organizations which operate a "Community Facility", as defined by Council, may
apply for exemption from property tax (excluding utilities and other special charges/rates), on
property owned by the organization. Property tax exemption based on a percentage or all of the
current year's property taxes may be approved for the following year’s exemption.
A "Community Facility" is one that meets the following criteria as defined by Council:
(a) The facility must be operated by a non-profit Society serving primarily the Township of
Langley and its residents.
(b) At least 50% of the membership must be residents of the Township of Langley.
(c) The applicant must demonstrate that other avenues of income generation have been
pursued.
(d) The facility must be available to the general public by rental or admission fee.
(e) The rental or admission fees charged should cover only operating costs and should not
include a profit factor of which the purpose is to subsidize other activities of the society.
(f) Unless approved by Council as a specific exception, the organization operating the hall
should not serve alcoholic beverages as an ordinary activity of its facility.

Page 4 . . .
BONA FIDE COMMUNITY HALL – CRITERIA AND INFORMATION

Organizations operating bona fide community halls (as defined by Council) may be considered
for exemption from property tax up to l00% of the current year's taxes. Bona fide community
halls are those halls that exist solely for the use of the residents within the community. They are
eligible for a 100% tax exemption because they fill a need in the community that would
otherwise be borne by the Township.
A "Bona Fide Hall" is one that meets the following criteria as defined by Council:
(a) The applicant must be a non-profit group or organization serving the Township of Langley
(b) The major users of the hall should be residents of the Township of Langley
(c) The applicant should demonstrate that other avenues of income generation have been
pursued
(d) Unless approved by Council as a specific exception, the organization operating the hall
should not serve alcoholic beverages as an ordinary activity of its facility.
Preference will be given to organizations, community facilities and bona fide halls whose
applications show a great deal of volunteer effort.
Legislation:
The Province considers the authority to grant permissive exemptions a policy tool available to
municipalities to promote or achieve specific goals.
Community Charter Section 224 states that a council may, by bylaw in accordance with this
section, exempt land or improvements, or both, from municipal portion of property taxes.
Subsection 2 provides a listing of what properties are eligible for permissive exemption.
Council is not obliged to grant all permissive exemptions that are eligible under the Section 224
of the Community Charter. Council has the option to decide which permissive exemptions they
will support based on various considerations such as budgetary constraints, alignment of
community values and so forth.
Financial Implications

FROM: CORPORATE ADMINISTRATION DIVISION FILE: 0540-20
SUBJECT: TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY COUNCIL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ESTABLISHMENT
BYLAW 2008 NO. 4700 AMENDMENT BYLAW 2009 NO. 4771
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Council give first, second and third reading to Township of Langley Council Advisory
Committee Establishment Bylaw 2008 No. 4700 Amendment Bylaw 2009 No. 4771 to address
various text and housekeeping amendments.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As a result of a recommendation from Council, an Advisory Committee Bylaw Review was
undertaken. Council adopted the Council Advisory Committee Establishment Bylaw 2008
No. 4700 (the Bylaw) on September 29, 2008, the intent of which was to standardize a number
of other bylaws that had originally established advisory bodies to Council. There are two
outstanding referral motions that Council has approved and these are also referenced in this
report along with recommendations as to their disposition.
In July 2009, Legislative Services requested input from stakeholders on any suggested changes
to the Bylaw. A number of suggestions were received and are outlined below, along with a
recommendation on whether the change should occur. These changes are shown in section
order found within the Bylaw.
PURPOSE:
The purpose is to revise Bylaw No. 4700 with the proposed amendments and to address
housekeeping matters.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
Council referred two motions to Administration for consideration at the time Bylaw No. 4700 was
being reviewed. Listed below are the referred motions and a proposal for dealing with each
one:

4.1.1. Council shall appoint a maximum number of fourteen (14) voting members per
Advisory Committee, which includes up to two (2) youths who are serving on the Youth
Advisory Committee. CARRIED”
This motion has been incorporated under Section 4.1.1. of the proposed Bylaw No. 4771.

Legal Description: Lot B Section 34 Township 8 NWD

Plan BCP35878
Location: 9102 – 196A Street
Area: 0.23 ha (0.58 acre)
Existing Zoning: General Industrial Zone M-2
Proposed Zoning: Comprehensive Development Zone CD-14
Official Community Plan: Designated Industrial Growth
E.S.A. Designation: E.S.A.# 009 – Walnut Grove Aquifer (Rating - #1)
BACKGROUND:
Chantelle Management Ltd. is the owner of a property located at 9102 – 196A Street in the
Northwest Langley Industrial area. The property (zoned General Industrial M-2) is developed
with an industrial building with ground floor warehouse space/associated small office area
(currently vacant) and second floor office space (occupied by Chantelle Management Ltd).
Chantelle Management Ltd. is a care home management company which owns six care
facilities in BC, Alberta and the U.S. The company’s corporate headquarters are located at the
Langley site, which provides leadership, oversight and administrative services (including
accounting, payroll, human resources, strategic planning, training and purchasing) to the six
care facilities.
The property’s M-2 zoning permits a range of general industrial uses, as well as “office uses
accessory to permitted industrial uses”. Office uses which are not related to a permitted
industrial use are not accommodated currently by the property’s existing zoning. Chantelle’s
office use is currently non-conforming, as it is not related to a permitted industrial use on the
same property.
Teck Construction LLP has applied (on behalf of Chantelle Management Ltd.) to rezone the
subject property to Comprehensive Development Zone CD-14 to permit the continued operation
of Chantelle’s office use in the existing industrial building.
The subject property is located in the Northwest Langley Industrial area, and is surrounded by
other developed industrial properties which are all zoned General Industrial Zone M-2. The
predominant uses in the area are warehousing/distribution and light industrial operations. There
are office uses in the area, but these have been developed as accessory to an industrial use on
the same premises.
Page 59 of 241
G.1
Page 7 . . .
The current use of the second floor of the building for office purposes (not related to a permitted
industrial use on the same site) does not comply with the property’s M-2 zoning. Rezoning of
the property to Comprehensive Development Zone CD-14 would allow the Chantelle office use
to continue operation.
The CD-14 zone was originally created in 1997 in conjunction with the initial rezoning and
subdivision of a light industrial/office park area (“Taylor Ventures”) located between 200 and 202
Streets, and between 92A and 96 Avenues. The CD-14 zone permits most of the lighter impact
service industrial uses allowed in the M-1A zone, along with offices and other uses traditionally
found in office parks. The intent of the CD-14 zone was to provide for low impact industrial uses
in combination with office park uses, to act as a transitional land use between the residential
areas to the east (east of 202 Street in Walnut Grove) and the established industrial areas to the
west 200 Street.
The rezoning of the subject property to CD-14 will legitimize an existing non-conforming office
use on a site specific basis. The existing building and uses will comply with the provisions of
the Zoning Bylaw, which require 6 parking spaces for the warehouse portion of the building and
15 spaces for the office uses. A total of 23 parking spaces currently exist on the site.
Environmental:
The Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas (E.S.A.) Study identifies the property as
forming part of the Walnut Grove Aquifer area. As the property is fully serviced, no adverse
environmental impacts are anticipated related to the proposed change in zoning.
Tree Protection/ Replacement:

As the property is already developed, there are no requirements related to the Tree Protection
Bylaw with respect to the rezoning application.
Servicing:
There are no servicing requirements for the rezoning application as the property is already fully
serviced.
Development Prerequisites:
There are no development prerequisites to be finalized prior to final reading of the rezoning
bylaw.
The proposed rezoning accommodates the continued operation of an existing office use on the
subject property. No negative impacts on the surrounding industrial area are anticipated from
the proposed rezoning, as the office use is compatible with the General Industrial M-2 zoning
surrounding the site.

Plan:
E.S.A. Designation: E.S.A.# 061 – Willoughby and Willowbrook Area

(Rating - #3)
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
The subject site is currently zoned Residential Zone SR-2 and is designated “Mixed Residential” in
the Willoughby Community Plan (adopted by Council in 1998) and the updated Yorkson
Neighbourhood Plan (adopted by Council in 2008).
In 2007, a Rezoning and Development Permit application was received to develop a 42 compact
lot single family subdivision on the site. After the public hearing and third reading the proponent
decided not to proceed due to economic reasons and the subject property currently remains
undeveloped. Royale Properties (Yorkson North) Ltd. has since purchased the subject site and is
now proceeding with a proposed 102 unit townhouse development.
Page 76 of 241
G.2
Page 10
Community Plan/Zoning Amendments:
Royale Properties (Yorkson North) Ltd. is proposing to construct a one hundred and two (102) unit
townhouse project at 20984-83 Avenue in Yorkson on 2.0ha (5.0 acres) at a gross density of 50.4
units per hectare (20.4 units per acre). In support of the development, the proponent has applied
to:
1. Amend the Willoughby Community Plan from “Mixed Residential” to “Multi Family” ;
2. Amend the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan from “Mixed Residential” (8-10 units per acre) to
“Townhouse” (15-25 units per acre);
3. Rezone the subject site from Residential Zone SR-2 to Comprehensive Development Zone
CD-77 permitting a gross density of 15-25 units per acre; and
4. Issuance of a Development Permit.
Staff are supportive of the amendments on the basis of:

1. The proposed townhouses are an appropriate land use adjacent to the future school/park
site. The proposed townhouse units are to be family oriented and generate elementary
school age children. The existing school site located next door is expected to be the first
new elementary school to be built in Yorkson. Adjacent to it will be a 5 acre neighbourhood
park site (already acquired).
2. The proposed townhouses are complimentary to adjacent land use designations, such as
the Phoenix townhouse and apartment site immediately to the west, and other designated
multi family land to the northwest.
3. The proposed townhouses are better reflective of current land values and housing
affordability. These family units are expected to be marketed starting at approximately
$300,000.
4. The overall number of units in Yorkson is not increased as a result of this townhouse
development. The increased number of units (from 42-102) compensates for units in other
Yorkson developments that did not maximize their density/units. Therefore, there is no net
increase in units.
5. As a result of point 4 above, no increased impact on servicing capacities is anticipated,
however, the proponent is required to verify off-site servicing capacities as a condition of
final reading.
6. The development enables completion of 209/209B Street from 81A Avenue to 83 Avenue in
an acceptable alignment at no cost to the Township. This road link is considered to be
essential to the road network for the Northeast Phase of Yorkson including the development
of adjacent lands, and has, to date, not been secured by either the Township or the
development community. The subject Royale proposal resolves this problem.
Surrounding land uses include:

North: 83 Avenue beyond which is a property zoned Suburban Residential Zone SR-2 designated
“Mixed Residential” in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan and existing single family
residential lots zoned Residential Compact Lot Zone R-CL;
South: 81A Avenue beyond which are properties zoned Suburban Residential Zone SR-2 and
designated “Mixed Residential” in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan;
East: 10 acres previously secured for a future elementary school and neighbourhood park; and
West: Properties zoned Suburban Residential SR-2 and designated for “Mixed Residential” and
‘Apartment” in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan.

School Sites:
The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan states that “the following general prerequisites must be satisfied
prior to the adoption of a rezoning bylaw in any phase:
a. the designated elementary school site indicated for that phase, whether it is located in that
phase or not, must be secured to the acceptance of the School District, subject to Sections
8.2.6 and 8.2.7…”
The proposed development falls within the Northeast Phase of Yorkson. The five acre elementary
school site for this phase was previously secured and is located immediately adjacent (east) of the
development site.
The Yorkson Neighbourhood currently falls within the catchment area of Willoughby Elementary
School (located on the southwest corner of 208 Street and 80 Avenue). In the short term,
elementary students from the proposed development are expected to attend this school until
sufficient numbers are generated to construct additional elementary schools in the Yorkson Plan
area. Tentatively, the school site adjacent to the subject site is scheduled to be the next
elementary school constructed in Yorkson.
Another secondary school site to serve the Willoughby neighbourhoods is yet to be pursued as
capacity exists at Mountain Secondary School. An expansion of Mountain Secondary has been
identified as a priority in the School District’s capital plan.
Parks and Recreation:

The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan states that “the following general prerequisites must be satisfied
prior to the adoption of a rezoning bylaw in any phase:
b. the designated neighbourhood park site indicated for that phase, whether it is located in
that phase or not, must be secured to the acceptance of the Township, subject to Sections
8.2.6 and 8.2.7…”
The proposed development falls within the Northeast Phase of Yorkson. The five acre elementary
school site for this phase is immediately adjacent (east) to the development site and was secured
through previous development.
In addition to the future school/park site, playing fields and playground equipment are available at
the Willoughby Elementary School (approximately 600 metres away) and the existing Willoughby
Neighbourhood Park (approximately 1 kilometre away). A child friendly amenity area will also be
provided on the subject townhouse site.
In addition, the proponent has volunteered to provide a one year family pass to Langley recreation
facilities to each townhouse purchaser.
Greenways/ Open Space:

As part of the project, the applicant will be required to dedicate and construct street greenways
(including a pathway and landscaping ) along 81A Avenue and 83 Avenue. Forming part of the
overall neighbourhood greenway network, the proponent in total will be dedicating approximately
551 m2 (0.14 acres) to the Township for this purpose. Prior to final reading the proponent must
secure dedication and construction of the street greenways to the acceptance of the Manager of
Parks Design and Development.
Page 78 of 241
G.2
Page 12
On February 16, 2009 Council adopted the Neighbourhood Park Land Policy whereby 5% of land
being developed is transferred to the Township, or provision of a cash-in-lieu payment to the
Township equal to 5% of the land being developed is secured. The applicant has proposed to
dedicate approximately 684m2 (3.47% of the developable land) along the east property line to be
added to the future neighbourhood park site. The shortfall (302m2 /1.53%) is proposed to be
secured by provision of a cash-in-lieu payment. The cash-in-lieu payment will be used by the
Township to acquire neighbourhood park elsewhere in Yorkson. Staff are supportive of this
proposal as it will increase the area of the future neighbourhood park site giving greater flexibility in
the park design. Prior to final reading the proponent must satisfy the Neighbourhood Park Land
Policy to the acceptance of the Manager of Parks Design and Development.
Child Friendly Amenity Area:

Section 111.6 of the Township’s Zoning Bylaw requires provision of one or more “Child Friendly
Amenity Areas” for townhouse developments, on the basis of 8m2 per residential unit resulting in a
total of 816m2 (8,783ft2) required. In accordance with these provisions, the applicant is proposing
to locate the child friendly amenity area in the centre of the site. Prior to final reading, the child
friendly amenity area requirements must be secured to the acceptance of the Manager of Parks
Design and Development.
Tree Protection/Replacement:
An Integrated Site Design Concept (ISDC) was provided by the applicant’s consultants (Froggers
Creek Tree Consultants, Jonathan Losee Ltd. (landscape architect), Hunter Laird Engineering Ltd.
and Integra Architects Ltd.). The submitted information indicates that 23 significant trees exist on
the site with 3 proposed to be retained. In accordance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw,
a total of 141 replacement trees are required to be planted on-site. This calculation excludes street
trees and greenway plantings and gives credit for the three retained trees. Final tree retention,
protection, and replacement plans are subject to final acceptance of the Manager of Parks Design
and Development.
Landscaping:
The on-site landscape plan proposes extensive plantings of flowering shrub and groundcovers
throughout the townhouse site, including trees and planting along the internal private strata road,
81A Avenue and 83 Avenue, adjacent to each townhouse unit and in yard areas. Street frontages
will feature landscaping in planting areas adjacent to the buildings. Wood privacy fencing is
proposed between the rear yards of the units and a low rail fence and pedestrian gates along
81A Avenue, 83 Avenue and 209B Street. A children’s play area (with play equipment and
seating) will be installed near the centre of the site. Street trees and boulevard treatment will be
installed along 81 A Avenue, 83 Avenue and 209B Street in accordance with Township policy. The
proposed landscape plan is attached as Schedule K of the Development Permit. Prior to final
reading the landscape plans must be completed to the acceptance of Manager of Parks Design
and Development.
Servicing:
Servicing of the Yorkson Neighbourhood was reviewed by the Engineering Division as part of the
Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan review. Prior to final reading the proponent is required to secure full
municipal services and enter into a servicing agreement in accordance with the Township’s
Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw. In the Northeast Phase of Yorkson an innovative
stormwater management plan is required which includes both on-site and off-site infiltration
facilities in accordance with the Yorkson Creek Water Resources Plan which must be adhered to.
Road widenings of approximately 1.0 metre along 83 Avenue, 11.0 metres along 81A Avenue and
22 metres for 209B Street in accordance with the Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw are
Page 79 of 241
G.2
Page 13
also required to be secured prior to final reading. A Sediment and Erosion Control plan is also
required in accordance with the Sediment and Erosion Control Bylaw. No increased impact on
servicing capacities is anticipated, however, the proponent is required to verify off-site servicing
capacities as a condition of final reading.
Environmental:
The Northeast Phase of Yorkson has several undeveloped properties containing drainage and
road side ditches. Envirowest Consultants Ltd. was engaged to assess the existing watercourses
and ditches and prepare a comprehensive environmental protection/compensation plan to the
acceptance of DFO. This plan was recently approved by DFO. No watercourses or ditches were
identified on the subject site.
The Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas (E.S.A.) Study identifies the lands as forming part
of the Willoughby and Willowbrook Area. As part of the required Servicing Agreement, the
applicant will be required to provide full urban services. A stormwater management plan and
sediment control measures will also be required as a prerequisite to the rezoning bylaw in
accordance with the Township’s Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw and the Township’s
Erosion and Sediment Control Bylaw.
The provision of these and compliance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw satisfy the
management guidelines identified in the Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas Study.
Transit:
Transit has not yet been extended into the Yorkson Neighbourhood. The nearest bus service is
currently provided at approximately 202A Street and 80 Avenue. The road layout of the overall
Yorkson development, however, has been designed to accommodate the provision of future transit
routes in accordance with Translink’s operating policy/procedures, which Council each year is
given an opportunity for input. It is anticipated that transit service will shortly be available on
208 Street one block to the west.
Parking:
A total of 253 parking spaces are proposed on the site plan. They consist of 204 indoor spaces, 27
driveway spaces and 22 visitor spaces. The proposed parking arrangement complies with the
Township’s Zoning Bylaw provisions. The applicant will be required to register a restrictive
covenant prohibiting parking on the internal roadways in the project (other than clearly identified
parking spaces) and prohibit garages from being developed for purposes other than the parking of
vehicles.
Flex and Universal Housing:

In accordance with Section 4.2.1(9) of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan a minimum of 5% of the
units in any residential development are required to provide flex or universal housing. The
proponent has designed specific adaptive housing unit types (type 2-B and type 5-B) to
accommodate the flex/universal housing requirements. These adaptive unit types have been
specifically incorporated into Development Permit No. 100580. Subject to a detailed dimensional
review at the Building Permit stage, the Yorkson Plan requirement has been adhered to.
Page 80 of 241
G.2
Page 14
Development Permit:
As the site is designated as a mandatory Development Permit area, the applicant has also applied
for a Development Permit. In accordance with Council’s policy, supporting materials have been
submitted detailing the proposed development’s form, character and siting. Development Permit
guidelines relevant to the site are contained in the Willoughby Community Plan (see Attachment
A). Proposed Development Permit No. 100580 is attached to this report (see Attachment B).
The proposed development will consist of 102 townhouses situated in clusters of four to six units.
A combination of eight (8) wider units (side by side double garages) and ninety four (94) narrower
units (tandem parking garages) is proposed. The development will consist of ninety four (94) 2
bedroom units and eight (8) 3 bedroom units ranging in size from 139m2 (1,500ft2) to 201m2
(2,164ft2). The units will have garages on the ground floor, living areas on the second floor and
bedrooms on the upper floor. Five (5) of the units (or 5% of the units) have been designed to
comply with the Township’s Flex/Universal Housing (Adaptable) requirements.
Building design incorporates mainly three (3) storey massing. Units fronting 81A Avenue,
83 Avenue and 209B Street have been designed to be ground oriented with entrances facing the
street, with pedestrian connection (via private sidewalk and stairs) to the municipal greenway. The
proposed streetscape treatment will therefore be pedestrian friendly, providing views from the
street and sidewalks into the development.
The buildings feature articulated walls with a variety of window bays and architectural detailing
including steeply pitched roofs incorporating gable ends. Exterior finishing will feature a
combination of materials in neutral and earth tone colours, including stone, wood
trims/fascias/brackets, vinyl, wall shingles, board and batten siding and architectural asphalt roof
shingles.
The proposed building height (3 storeys), site coverage (35%) and building siting comply with the
CD-77 zoning provisions.
The architects’ design rationale states:
“The buildings are traditional in character, respectful of the rural history of Langley. Sloping roofs,
cupola style roof elements are reminders of the simple utilitarian structures of the Fraser Valley.
The simple massing is articulated with a variety of windows and bay windows. Entrance porches at
the ground level welcome both residents and visitors and provide a street presence to complement
the neighbourhood. A mix of board and batten and horizontal siding is accented by shingled wall
and column elements. Warm earth tones are used throughout.
Through the ISDC process, extensive landscaping has been provided and significant trees have
been retained at the northwest corner of the site. In addition to the child friendly play areas, private
outdoor space available to each unit is to be well landscaped in order to ensure that this
development is a positive contribution to the environment.
While not formally being part of the green rating systems such as LEED and Built Green, our client
intends to follow a significant number of green strategies which contribute to neighbourhood
sustainability and a better environment. The townhome building form will provide a diversity of
housing units for the neighbourhood, giving an option for young families or families looking to
downsize. The townhome form is a density which helps to support a good transit system. The
proximity of the site adjacent to the future elementary school and park will encourage pedestrian
Page 81 of 241
G.2
Page 15
activity and reduce vehicle trips. Creating adaptable housing units based on Langley’s Universal
Housing requirements will give residents an option for persons with disabilities as well as senior’s
who want to remain in their neighbourhood.
Energy efficient lighting such as compact fluorescents or LEDS, energy star appliances including
fridges, washer/dryers, and dishwashers, and electric rather than gas fireplaces will be used to
conserve electricity. High efficiency water fixtures such as dual flush toilets and low flow faucet
aerators in shower heads and kitchen and bathroom faucets will be used to conserve water. All
insulation is to be low or zero formaldehyde. All interior paints are to be low VOC. Drought tolerant
plants and efficient irrigation technology will be implemented to minimize exterior water use.

supplemental Rezoning and Development Permit Application fees.
The one hundred and two (102) unit townhouse proposal requires the Willoughby Community Plan,
Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan and Zoning Bylaw to be amended. Staff are supportive of these
amendments on the basis of:
1. The proposed townhouses are an appropriate land use adjacent to the future school/park
site. The proposed townhouse units are to be family oriented and generate elementary
school age children. The existing school site located next door is expected to be the first
new elementary school to be built in Yorkson. Adjacent to it will be a 5 acre neighbourhood
park site (already acquired).

2. The proposed townhouses are complimentary to adjacent land use designations, such as
the Phoenix townhouse and apartment site immediately to the west, and other designated
multi family land to the northwest.
3. The proposed townhouses are better reflective of current land values and housing
affordability. These family units are expected to be marketed starting at approximately
$300,000.
4. The overall number of units in Yorkson is not increased as a result of this townhouse

6. The development enables completion of 209/209B Street from 81A Avenue to 83 Avenue in
an acceptable alignment at no cost to the Township. This road link is considered to be
essential to the road network for the Northeast Phase of Yorkson including the development
of adjacent lands, and has, to date, not been secured by either the Township or the
development community. The subject Royale proposal resolves this problem.
Staff recommend that Bylaw’s 4756 and 4757 be given two readings (subject to 11 development
prerequisites) and that staff be authorized to schedule the Public Hearing in conjunction with the
Development Permit Hearing.

Excerpt from Willoughby Community Plan Bylaw 1998 No. 3800
4.1.2.3 MULTI FAMILY (I.E. APARTMENT, TOWNHOUSE, ROWHOUSE,

DUPLEX, TRIPLEX AND FOURPLEX) DEVELOPMENT
General
The following guidelines apply to all multi-family development.
Site Design
o While providing individual design character, buildings shall be designed to integrate and
complement adjacent developments with respect to siting, setbacks, design, exterior finish,
landscaping and parking areas. Facade and roofline articulation with porches and other projecting
elements is required. Blank or undifferentiated facades shall be avoided.
o Buildings shall be sited and designed to maximize sun penetration to adjacent roads, sidewalks and
properties.
o Buildings sited on corners shall address both street edges, shall express a visually stimulating
‘landmark’ architecture, and be massed to define the intersection.
o On sloping sites, buildings should be massed to create a terraced form of development and provide
view opportunities for a majority of housing units.
o Site planning and landscaping for residential development should take into account established
principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) – including opportunities
for neighbourhood surveillance of pathways, landscaped areas and roadways and provision of
defensible space that is clearly separated by fences, landscaping or paving, readily visible by
residents and adequately lit.

fence shall be constructed to municipal standard. If an adequately landscaped buffer (native plant
species are encouraged) of at least 2 metres in width is provided on the greenway side of the fence to
the acceptance of the Township, other fence types may be used provided they are visually permeable
above 122 cm (48 inches) and do not exceed 180cm (6 feet) in total height.
o If security fencing is required for storage areas, black coated chain link fencing screened with
hedging material may be used.
o A 5 metre wide landscaping area and a fence shall be provided on multi family properties along

landscaping is required within parking areas at the following frequency:
• One tree per six parking stalls to be located in a minimum of 10 cubic meters of growing
medium (structural soil, deep root soil cells, or planting beds) so that the tree will be
sustained into maturity. Two adjoining rows of parking stalls (front to front) will require a
minimum of one tree per bank of 12 parking stalls spaced no more than 18 meters between
trees. A minimum grid placement of 18 meters on center should be attained for trees placed
in parking areas. In addition to the foregoing, the end of each single row of parking stalls
will require a tree and 2 metre wide landscaped area between the end parking stall and the
adjacent drive aisle.
• Trees within parking areas should be of a type and height (at least 8 feet) so that the
clearance to the underside of the tree extends above the height of standard types of vehicles
that do not require clearance lights. Deciduous shade trees should be a minimum of 6cm
calliper with a 1.8 meter clear stem at time of planting. Tree stems must be protected on all
sides with a minimum of 1 meter of clearance to the front face of an adjacent barrier curb or
other protection from vehicle overhangs.

Access to either underground or structured parking should be from a lane if possible.
o Parking shall be provided in enclosed and secured garages attached to individual units or in a secure
underground parkade.
o Tandem parking on all end units is not permitted.
o Surface parking should be provided for in a number of smaller areas rather than one large lot, and
shall be located primarily in the interior of the site or otherwise screened from view. Surface parking
shall integrate landscaping and other design elements to reduce the massing of parking areas.
Vehicular entrances shall be landscaped, not gated, to create a subtle boundary between the semi-
private and public areas.
o Private driveway access over greenways should be consolidated and minimized to ensure maximum
safety of the users of the greenway. Private driveways accessing arterial roads may be restricted.
o Wheelchair access shall be provided throughout the development.
4.1.2.4 TOWNHOUSES/ROWHOUSE
These guidelines are in addition to section 4.1.2.3 and apply to all townhouse developments.
Site Design
o Ground-oriented developments shall be designed with continuity in the design with respect to the
exterior finishing materials and architectural detailing. Individual or paired units shall be
significantly visually differentiated from other adjoining units (i.e. staggering in plan or elevation,
varying rooflines [no flat roofs permitted unless a green roof is provided], variation in exterior
materials, variation in paint treatments, and architectural detailing).
o Developments which include multiple buildings on the same site shall include significant variation in
the exterior design, façade, roofline articulation, material and colour of buildings.
o Units shall be oriented towards public roads, street greenways and greenlinks/commons where
applicable.
o Scale building height and massing in proportion to open spaces.
Landscaping
o Where there are multiple buildings on a site, buildings should be located to enclose courtyards and
other landscaped spaces.

Legal Description: Lot 44 Section 14 Township 8 New West District

Plan 34189
PID: 006-962-793
Location: 7185 – 202B Street
Total Site Area: 0.40 ha (1 acre)
Area to be Rezoned: 0.30 ha (0.75 acre)
Proposed Zoning: Residential Compact Lot Zone R-CL
Willoughby Community Plan: Residential Bonus Density 2
Southwest Gordon Estate Residential Bonus Density 2

Neighbourhood Plan: (base density of 15 units per gross ha / 6 units
per gross acre; density bonus to a maximum 37
units per gross ha / 15 units per gross acre)

(Rating - #3)
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
The subject site is designated “Residential Bonus Density 2” in the Willoughby Community Plan
and the Southwest Gordon Estate Neighbourhood Plan. The “Residential Bonus Density 2”
designation allows a base density of 15 units per gross ha (6 units per gross acre) with a density
bonus provision up to a maximum 37 units per gross ha (15 units per gross acre). The subject
site is also designated a Development Permit Area to encourage the development of an
attractive and safe residential area and to reduce conflict with adjacent land uses.
In 2004, Council approved the acquisition of the subject site to facilitate the re-alignment of 202A / 202B
Street at 72 Avenue with proceeds from disposal of any surplus lands being returned to the original
funding account.
Page 111 of 241

G.3
Page 7 . . .
The Corporation of the Township of Langley has applied to rezone approximately 0.30 ha (0.75
acre) of land located at 7185 – 202B Street from Suburban Residential Zone SR-2 to
Residential Compact Lot Zone R-CL. The proposed rezoning will accommodate a three (3) lot
single family subdivision. A Development Permit for the site is also proposed to secure an
exterior design control agreement for the single family lots at the time of subdivision.
Adjacent Uses:
North: 72 Avenue, beyond which is Fire Hall 4 zoned Civic Institutional Zone P-1 and a
0.30 ha (0.75 acre) property recently rezoned to Residential Compact Lot Zone
R-CL to facilitate a four (4) lot single family subdivision;
South: A single family subdivision zoned Residential Compact Lot Zone R-CL;
East: 202B Street, beyond which are 0.40 ha (1 acre) properties zoned Suburban
Residential Zone SR-2 located outside the Southwest Gordon Neighbourhood
Plan area; and
West: A single family subdivision zoned Residential Compact Lot Zone R-CL.
Rezoning:
The subject site is currently zoned Suburban Residential Zone SR-2. It is proposed to rezone
approximately 0.30 ha (0.75 acre) of the site (the area west of the realigned 202B Street) to
Residential Compact Lot Zone R-CL (minimum lot size 220 m2 / 2,368 ft2). The proposed
rezoning will accommodate a three (3) lot single family subdivision, at a proposed density of 10
units per ha (4 units per acre) in compliance with the Willoughby Community Plan and the
Southwest Gordon Estate Neighbourhood Plan.
The remaining approximate 0.10 ha (0.25 acre) of the site will retain its current Suburban
Residential Zone SR-2 zoning.
Subdivision:
A preliminary subdivision layout has been submitted in support of the rezoning application. It
proposes the creation of three (3) rear loaded compact single family lots (with access from a
rear lane).
The subdivision plan also includes dedication of the realigned portion of 202B Street.
Dedication of this area will result in the creation of a remnant lot to the east of the new
dedication (between the new and the existing 202B Street dedications). This remnant lot and
the existing 202B Street dedication can be incorporated into the future development of the lots
to the east of the subject site. This will require closure of the existing 202B Street dedication
which is not part of the current application. The undeveloped lots to the east are located in the
Central Gordon Estate Neighbourhood for which a new neighbourhood plan is currently being
prepared. To ensure that the remnant lot is not developed in the interim, a no-building
restrictive covenant will be required at the subdivision approval stage.
Page 112 of 241

G.3
Page 8 . . .
Subdivision details will be addressed at the time of subdivision in accordance with the
Township’s Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw and Policy.
Development Permit:
The Southwest Gordon Estate Plan area is designated as a mandatory Development Permit
area in the Willoughby Community Plan. Applicable is “Development Permit Area ‘B’ –
Residential” which establishes objectives and guidelines for the form, character and siting of
development. The primary objective of the development permit area designation is to
encourage the development of attractive and safe residential areas and reduce conflict with
adjacent land uses. The Development Permit guidelines are attached to this report as
Attachment A.
For single family residential lots, the Development Permit guidelines are implemented by a
requirement that the applicant enter into an exterior design control agreement at the time of
subdivision. The exterior design control agreement typically addresses the form, character and
siting of individual single family homes constructed in a development.
Servicing:
Prior to final reading, it will be necessary to complete the required works and services and to
extend services to the proposed lots in accordance with the Township’s Subdivision and
Development Control Bylaw. Road dedications including the realigned portion of 202B Street,
widening of 72 Avenue, and dedication of a 6.0 metre wide lane are also required prior to final
reading.
The provision of a Lot Grading Plan and an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will be required
at the time of subdivision.
Greenways:
In compliance with the Southwest Gordon Estate Neighbourhood Plan, it will be required to
dedicate and construct a 4.5 metre wide greenway along 72 Avenue. Fencing and landscaping
improvements along 72 Avenue and 202B Street will be required to match the fencing and
landscaping treatment of the existing single family subdivision to the south and west. Details of
the greenway design, fencing and landscaping need to be finalized to the acceptance of the
Manager of Parks Design and Development prior to final reading.
Tree Protection:
In compliance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw, a tree summary schedule has been
completed, indicating that there are no significant trees located on the subject site. As a result,
it will be required to plant nineteen (19) replacement trees. Six (6) street trees have already
been planted along the site’s road frontage as part of the realignment of 202B Street. Final tree
replacement plans are subject to the acceptance of the Manager of Parks Design and
Development prior to final reading.
Page 113 of 241

G.3
Page 9 . . .
Environmental Considerations:
The Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas (E.S.A.) Study identifies the lands as forming
part of the Willoughby and Willowbrook area. No watercourses exist on the subject site. A site-
specific stormwater management plan and an erosion and sediment control plan will be required
at the time of subdivision. These items, along with the provision of full urban services and
compliance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw, satisfy the management guidelines
identified in the Township’s E.S.A. Study.
Transit:
Translink currently operates regular bus routes along 200 Street (approximately 450 metres
west from the subject site). The road layout for the Southwest Gordon Estate Neighbourhood
has been designed to accommodate future transit routes in accordance with Translink’s
operating policy / procedures, which Council is given the opportunity to review each year.
Schools:
The subject site is located within the catchment area for R.C. Garnett Elementary School
(approximately 250 metres south of the site). Secondary school students will attend Mountain
Secondary. Another secondary school site to serve the Willoughby neighbourhoods is yet to be
pursued as capacity exists at Mountain Secondary School and an expansion to Mountain
Secondary is in the School District’s capital plan.
Parks:
The nearest neighbourhood park is R.C. Garnett Park located approximately 250 metres south
of the subject site.
Prior to final reading of the rezoning bylaw, the following items must be completed:
1. Completion of the required road, utility, landscaping and greenway upgrades and
extensions in accordance with the Township’s Subdivision and Development Control
Bylaw;
2. Provision of road and greenway dedications including 202B Street, widening of 72
Avenue and extension of the rear lane in accordance with the Township’s Subdivision
and Development Control Bylaw;
3. Compliance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw including provision of a final tree
management plan incorporating tree replacement and protection details;
4. Compliance with the Erosion and Sediment Control Bylaw including provision of an
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan; and
5. Registration of a no-building restrictive covenant over the remnant lot at the time of
subdivision;
Page 114 of 241

G.3
Page 10 . . .
Staff recommend approval of the rezoning application as the proposed development complies
with the provisions of the “Residential Bonus Density 2” designation of the Willoughby
Community Plan and the Southwest Gordon Estate Neighbourhood Plan. Final approval of
Rezoning Bylaw No. 4769 is subject to completion of five (5) development prerequisites.
A Development Permit for the site is also proposed to secure an exterior design control
agreement for the single family lots at the time of subdivision. Staff recommend issuance of
Development Permit No. 100590 (at the time of final reading) subject to one (1) condition.
Subdivision details will be addressed at the subdivision stage pursuant to the Township’s
Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw and Policy.

BACKGROUND:
Desert Properties Inc. has acquired the three subject properties which are adjacent to a
property to the north (8700 – 200 Street) where the company is currently constructing a three
storey office building. The subject properties are designated for Service Commercial purposes
in the Carvolth Business Park Neighbourhood Plan. This designation permits a broad range of
business/office park and retail, service and tourist commercial uses, but excludes retail uses
over 450 m2 (4,884 ft2). The Neighbourhood Plan also designates a buffer/greenway along 201
Street and a trail along 86 Avenue.
The subject properties are currently vacant. One of the properties (Lot A) was rezoned to
Carvolth Commercial Zone C-17 by its former owner (to permit future commercial development),
while the other two properties are zoned Suburban Residential SR-2. Surrounding land uses
include:
• a property to the north (also owned by Desert Properties Inc) zoned CD-47, on which a
three storey office building is currently under construction;
• 201 Street to the east (dedicated but not constructed), beyond which is a vacant
property under application to be rezoned to Comprehensive Development Zone CD-46
to permit future business/office park uses;
• 86 Avenue to the south (built to a rural standard), beyond which are suburban residential
properties (currently zoned SR-2, but designated Service Commercial in the Carvolth
Plan; and
• commercial uses (Starbucks and Shell gas bar/car wash) fronting onto 200 Street
(zoned C-2D).
Proposed Zoning (Bylaw 4746):

The application proposes to rezone the subject properties to Comprehensive Development
Zone CD-47 to enable development of a four storey and a six storey business park building with
underground and surface parking. The CD-47 zone allows for a broad range of service
commercial and business park uses. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Service
Commercial designation of the properties in the Carvolth Business Park Neighbourhood Plan.
The CD-47 zone currently limits the height of buildings and structures to 15 metres (49.2 ft.),
except for hotels and conference/convention facilities (which are limited to a maximum height of
30 metres / 98.4 ft.). When the CD-47 zone was originally drafted (as part of the rezoning of the
200 Street interchange project lands), the greater height allowance for hotels and
conference/convention facilities was viewed as a means of encouraging such uses to develop at
this “gateway” location. The proposed 4 and 6 storey buildings (with heights of 17.5 metres/
57.5 ft. and 25.5 metres / 83.5 ft.) exceed the maximum height permitted in the CD-47 zone.
Staff note that there is no restriction on building heights in the Carvolth Plan. Section 4.1.1.5 of
the plan states “Development must also be consistent with the 200 Street interchange site being
a “gateway” entrance to the community.” Permitting higher buildings on the subject site is
consistent with this objective. Rezoning Bylaw No. 4746 includes a change to the height
provisions of the CD-47 zone to accommodate buildings up to a maximum height of 30 metres
(98.4 ft.).

Development Permit:
As the subject area is designated as a mandatory Development Permit area, the applicant has
also applied for a Development Permit. In accordance with Council’s policy, supporting
materials have been submitted detailing the proposed development’s form, character and siting.
Development Permit guidelines relevant to the site are contained in the Willoughby Community
Plan (see Attachment A). Proposed Development Permit No. 100583 is attached to this report
(see Attachment B).
The design rationale submitted by the applicant’s architect states:
“This application is for the development of phase 2 of Langley Business Centre to

construct two new four and six storey office / commercial buildings with on grade
and underground parking.
The site is located near the 200 Street interchange, a major entrance or gateway
to Langley (Carvolth Plan area). The proposed development is an addition of +
167,370 square feet mixed use office / retail to Langley Business Centre and
comprises of multi-tenant offices and limited commercial spaces to sere the
travelling public.
The overall design emphasizes cohesiveness in the site planning and clear
articulation of the building form to create a functional and visually appealing
development.
The proposed development, therefore, sets out to meet the following planning
and design criteria:
• Context: respect, reflect and complement the existing building on site by

using similar characteristics and materials: painted concrete, brick
veneer, metal panels…
• Compliance with applicable zoning regulations and statutory
encumbrances
• Maximizing green and well landscaped areas
• Attractive, appropriate commercial building aesthetic and sensitive
response to scale and environment
• Variations in massing, changes in height and horizontal planes along with
landscaping create breaks in the façade. The use of glass, recessed
windows, sunscreen, brick veneer will contribute to visually appealing
streetscapes. Steel and glass canopies at each unit entry emphasize the
entrances and reinforce the visual identity for future tenants and provide
weather protection.”
A total of 595 parking spaces are proposed to be provided, consisting of 283 underground and
312 surface spaces. The Township’s Zoning Bylaw requires a total of 580 spaces to be
provided. An additional 146 surface spaces exist on the adjacent Phase 1 (Building A) site.
The proposed development complies with the site’s proposed CD-47 zoning in terms of use,
siting, site coverage, and parking.
Page 132 of 241

G.4
Page 12 . . .
Signage:
Fascia signage (individual channel letters mounted onto aluminum bars and metal mesh,
secured to building soffit and canopy steel) is proposed on the first floor level on all facades of
both buildings. The proposed fascia signage (as detailed in Schedules “I” and “J” of Attachment
B) complies with the Township’s Sign Bylaw.
As part of the approvals granted in Development Permit No. 100519 for the first phase (Building
A) of the project on the adjacent site to the west / north, two freestanding signs were approved.
These included one sign in the landscaping area between Building A and 200 Street, and a
second sign in the landscape area to the north of the 201 Street vehicle access. As part of the
current Development Permit application for the second phase (Buildings B and C), the applicant
has requested a variance to the Township’s Sign Bylaw to allow the previously approved sign
adjacent to 200 Street to be greater in area than the Sign Bylaw permits. The proposed
freestanding sign (as detailed in Schedule “L” of Attachment B) will have a total sign area of
26.25 m2 / 282.5 ft2 ), compared to the 20 m2 / 215.3 ft2 maximum sign area permitted by the
Bylaw. The applicant feels that the larger sign area is required “in order to provide adequate
and visible identification to the number of tenants that require signage on this busy 200 Street
location” and that “reducing the space allotted to the individual tenants would impede the
public’s ability to identify their logos”. Staff note that the proposed 200 Street sign complies with
the maximum height and width of 7.5 m / 24.6 ft. permitted by the Bylaw (proposed height 6 m /
19.83 ft. and width of 4.7 m / 15.5 ft.). The Bylaw allows for one freestanding sign on each
street frontage of a lot. In this case, the applicant is not proposing any freestanding sign on the
88 Avenue street frontage. The applicant is proposing a freestanding sign on 201 Street (per
the previous Development Permit approval) which complies with the Sign Bylaw, and is
requesting approval of a variance to permit the larger sign adjacent to 200 Street. Given the
scale of the overall development, staff support approval of the variance to the Sign Bylaw and
have incorporated it into the Development Permit. The only sign which would be larger than the
Sign Bylaw provisions is the one adjacent to 200 Street. Any other freestanding signs will be
required to comply with the maximum dimension / area provisions in the Sign Bylaw.
Although the applicant has not indicated any proposed freestanding signage on the 201 Street
or 86 Avenue frontages of the proposed lots which will contain Buildings B and C, the Sign
Bylaw accommodates additional freestanding signage at these locations. A condition has been
included in the Development Permit requiring coordination of the design of all freestanding signs
and compliance with the Township’s Sign Bylaw.
Greenways/Landscaping:
As part of the development the applicant will be required to develop a greenway (including a
pathway and landscaping) parallel to 86 Avenue across the entire frontage of the site. Details of
the open space improvements will need to be addressed to the acceptance of the Manager of
Parks Design and Development prior to final reading of the rezoning bylaw. The greenway will
be located within the road dedication (in a widening area being transferred to the Township).
Construction of the greenway will be secured as part of the Servicing Agreement prior to
consideration of final reading of the rezoning bylaw.
Page 133 of 241

G.4
Page 13 . . .
In order to attain a consistent width of landscaping area along the road frontages of the site, the
applicant will be required to register a covenant on title requiring provision of a 5 metre wide
landscaping area adjacent to the 201 Street and 86 Avenue site frontages. This width of
landscaping is greater than the 2 metre width required by Sections 111 and 947.9 of the
Township’s Zoning Bylaw, but is the same as was required on the CD-47 zoned property to the
north (also owned by Desert Properties). The proposed landscaping plan incorporates the
required 5 metre wide landscaping area along 201 Street and 86 Avenue, with intensive
plantings of deciduous and coniferous trees, with flowering shrubs and groundcovers beneath.
Additional plantings will be provided in islands within and around the perimeter of the surface
parking lot (as required by the Township’s Zoning Bylaw). Garbage facilities will be located
within screened enclosures. Landscape details are depicted on Schedule K.
Environmental:
forming part of the Willoughby and Willowbrook area. There are no watercourses on the site.
The applicant will be required to provide erosion and sediment control measures in accordance
with the Erosion and Sediment Control Bylaw, to the acceptance of the General Manager of
Engineering. As part of the required Servicing Agreement, the applicant will be required to
provide full urban services as well as a stormwater management plan. The provision of these
items and compliance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw satisfy the management
guidelines identified in the Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas Study.
Tree Protection:
A tree survey and evaluation report was provided by the applicant’s consultants. The submitted
information indicates that 12 significant trees existed on the site, prior to it being cleared in
conjunction with previous activity on the adjacent lands to the west. Information provided by the
applicant’s landscape consultants indicates that in accordance with the Township’s Tree
Protection Bylaw a total of 106 replacement trees are required to be planted. The landscape
plan proposes planting of 110 replacement trees within the landscape areas. Street trees will
also be planted adjacent to 86 Avenue and 201 Street (in compliance with the Township’s
Boulevard Treatment and Street Tree policy). Final tree retention, protection, and replacement
plans in accordance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw are subject to final acceptance
by the Manager of Parks Design and Development. This requirement has been included in the
list of development prerequisites to be completed prior to final reading of the rezoning bylaw.
Servicing:
The development site will be required to provide full municipal services in accordance with the
Township’s Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw. Prior to final reading, the proponent
will be required to enter into a Servicing Agreement to secure provision of utilities (storm sewer
and water service), and road improvements to 201 Street and 86 Avenue adjacent to the site.
Road dedications (5.6 metres along 86 Avenue, corner truncation at 86 Avenue / 201 Street
intersection, 3.5 metres along 201 Street) will also be provided prior to consideration of final
reading of the rezoning bylaw. Access to and from the site will be provided from 86 Avenue (via
an existing driveway shared with the Shell site to the west), and 201 Street (via an existing
driveway in the northeast corner of the site, and by a proposed driveway in the east/central part
of the site). Restrictive covenants will be registered limiting the 86 Avenue and northern 201
Street driveways to right in/out turning movements, and prohibiting parking on 86 Avenue and
201 Street. These requirements have been incorporated into the list of development
prerequisites.
Page 134 of 241

Page 14 . . .
As the site is within 800 metres of the intersection of a local road with a controlled access
highway (i.e. Highway No. 1), the approval of the rezoning bylaw by the Ministry of
Transportation will be required prior to consideration of final reading.
Transit:
Bus service is currently provided along 200 Street by three routes: 501 (Langley Centre/Surrey
Central Station), 590 (Langley South/Surrey Central Station) and 595 (Haney Place/Langley
Centre).
Prior to final reading of the rezoning bylaw, the following items must be finalized:
and utility upgrades and extensions including a storm water management plan in
accordance with the Township’s Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw and
greenway construction to the acceptance of the Manager of Parks Design and
Development
2. Provision of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan in accordance with the Erosion and
3. Provision of road dedication (5.6 metres on 86 Avenue, 3.5 metres on 201 Street and a
corner truncation at the 86 Avenue / 201 Street intersection) in accordance with
Schedule P-1 of the Township’s Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw (Policy
Section) as amended to reflect this requirement to the acceptance of the General
4. Compliance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw, including provision of a final tree
protection plan incorporating tree retention, replacement and protection details, to the
5. Completion of landscaping plans (including greenway construction and design
requirements) to the acceptance of the Manager of Parks Design and Development;
6. Register a restrictive covenant limiting access to the site from the northerly driveway on
201 Street and from 86 Avenue to right in/out turning movements and prohibiting off-
street parking on 86 Avenue and 201 Street abutting the site, to the acceptance of the
General Manager of Engineering;
7. Register a restrictive covenant requiring provision of a 5.0 metre wide landscaping area
adjacent to the 201 Street and 86 Avenue site frontages;
development (including design and operation of the parkade, elevators, pedestrian
connections and lighting) by a qualified CPTED professional (in consultation with the
Langley RCMP), to the acceptance of the Director of Community Development, including
incorporation of the CPTED recommendations into the final development plans;
9. Approval of Rezoning Bylaw No. 4746 by the Ministry of Transportation; and
10. Payment of supplemental Rezoning Application fee and Site Servicing Review fee.
The proposed rezoning complies with the site’s designation for “Service Commercial” purposes
in the Carvolth Business Park Neighbourhood Plan. Development of a greenway along the 86
Avenue frontage of the site is consistent with the Greenway designation of this area in the
Neighbourhood Plan.

EXCERPT FROM WILLOUGHBY COMMUNITY PLAN:
4586 4.3.3 Development Permit Area “G” – Business/Office Park

04/02/0
Lands identified as “Development Permit Area “G” – Business/Office Park” on Map 4,

Development Permit Areas, are hereby designated as development permit areas under Section
919.1(1)(f) of the Local Government Act to establish objectives and provide guidelines for the
form and character of development.
The objective of this development permit area is to ensure attractive business park and
commercial development along major roads and to reduce conflict with adjacent uses.
Unless the owner of land first obtains a development permit, land within this development permit
area shall not be subdivided, and construction of, addition to or alteration of development must
not be started.
Development permit guidelines are as follows:
General
o These guidelines apply to all Business Office Park designated areas.
Site Design
o Consolidated site developments are encouraged to reduce street accesses. The
number, location and design of vehicular access and egress points shall be regulated in
order to avoid hazards to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Coordination of access and
interconnection of parking areas and driveways between adjacent properties will be
encouraged as access from major roads will be limited to right turns only. Acquisition of
sufficient property to allow access from roads other than major roads shall be
encouraged.
o Adequate off-street parking, loading and service areas shall be required in the
commercial areas. Parking and loading should be located in the rear of buildings. Where
parking needs to be in front, a minimum of 2 metre landscaping buffer strip between the
property line and the parking shall be provided. Additional landscaping shall be provided
within parking lots, especially where residential views extend or will extend over the
parking area. Site layouts should provide for truck loading areas located away from
adjacent residential areas.
o Wheelchair access shall be provided throughout the development.
Landscaping
o Landscaping shall be required to enhance the appearance of the development and to
screen parking, loading areas and garbage containers from abutting residential
development and adjacent roads. All areas not covered by buildings, structures, roads
and parking areas shall be landscaped. Landscaping shall be provided in the parking
areas to enhance the appearance of the development. A landscaping plan shall be
submitted as part of a development permit application.
o In order to reduce the urban heat island effect, green walls are preferred for all south
facing exterior walls as an additional landscape feature. Where building design prevents
Page 137 of 241
G.4
Page 17 . . .
the south facing wall acting as a ‘green wall’ an equivalent green wall should be provided
elsewhere on the building.
o Green roofs are encouraged for all or a portion of the roof. Corporate logos could be
used as advertisement while meeting the green roof component.
o A 2 metre wide landscaping area shall be provided adjacent to 200 Street and 86
Avenue east of 200 Street as a boulevard between the curb and the sidewalk to create
an attractive streetscape. In addition, a 3.5 metre corridor, including a 2.5 metre shared
use (pedestrian and bicycle) concrete sidewalk, shall be provided. Each proponent will
have to show how this can be accommodated. Additional right-of-way may be required.
On the north side of 86 Avenue across from future residential development a 5 metre
landscaping area and a 3.5 metre corridor shall be provided.
Parking Lot Landscaping

o In addition to trees and landscaping around the perimeter of surface parking areas,
shade trees and landscaping is required within parking areas at the following frequency:
• One tree per six parking stalls to be located in a minimum of 10 cubic meters of
growing medium (structural soil, deep root soil cells, or planting beds) so that the
tree will be sustained into maturity. Two adjoining rows of parking stalls (front to
front) will require a minimum of one tree per bank of 12 parking stalls spaced no
more than 18 meters between trees. A minimum grid placement of 18 meters on
center should be attained for trees placed in parking areas. In addition to the
foregoing, the end of each single row of parking stalls will require a tree and 2
metre wide landscaped area between the end parking stall and the adjacent drive
aisle.
• Trees within parking areas should be of a type and height (at least 8 feet) so that
the clearance to the underside of the tree extends above the height of standard
types of vehicles that do not require clearance lights. Deciduous shade trees
should be a minimum of 6cm calliper with a 1.8 meter clear stem at time of
planting. Tree stems must be protected on all sides with a minimum of 1 meter
of clearance to the front face of an adjacent barrier curb or other protection from
vehicle overhangs.
• Shrubs and groundcovers should be planted around the base of all trees
Signage
o Signs should be designed so that they are compatible with buildings on the site. Sign
design should also be coordinated and compatible with signage on adjacent properties
to establish a unified and attractive commercial area. Freestanding signs are not
permitted along the Trans Canada Highway.
Exterior Lighting
o Site lighting should be oriented away from adjacent properties and projected downward
or towards on site buildings.

AMENDMENT (QC HOLDINGS) BYLAW 2009 NO. 4767
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Bylaw No. 4767 amends the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan to allow large format retail uses in
the Town Market Mixed use designation and to allow the development of a limited number of
residential units in the Town Market Area without first securing an Elementary School /
Neighbourhood Park site for the Southwest Phase, in order to facilitate the construction of a
multi-phase, mixed use, residential, retail, and office project.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The development of the Willoughby Town Centre is considered to be one of the most critical
elements in ensuring the success of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan. QC Holdings’ application
will facilitate construction of Phase One of a multi-phase plan to develop its 8.07 ha (19.93
acres) Town Centre site. To accommodate the proposed development Bylaw No. 4767 amends
the Yorkson Neighbourhood plan by reconsidering a number of its policies. Bylaw No. 4768
proposes to rezone the site to Comprehensive Development Zone CD-78. Staff are supportive
of QC Holdings development proposal and recommend that the two Bylaws be given first and
second reading subject to the completion of thirteen (13) development prerequisites prior to final
reading. Although preliminary plans have been submitted, detailed Development Permit
drawings will be addressed later in the process, at which time Council will have the opportunity
to evaluate the form, character and siting of the individual elements of the project.
PURPOSE:
This report is to advise and make recommendations with respect to QC Holdings’ rezoning/
neighbourhood plan amendment application in Yorkson.

BACKGROUND:
The subject site is the first development proposal in the Southwest Phase of the Yorkson
Neighbourhood Plan. The subject site is currently zoned Suburban Residential Zone SR-2
(8094m2 / 2 acre minimum lot size) and is designated ‘Willoughby Town Centre’ in the
Willoughby Community Plan and ‘Town Market Commercial’ and ‘Town Market Mixed Use’ in
the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan.

(QC HOLDINGS)

Adopted in 1998, the Willoughby Community Plan describes the Town Centre, in part as follows:
“The centrally located Town Centre is intended for a wide variety of more
intensive land uses, accommodating a diverse range of functions including retail,
and major community facilities. Within the Town Centre it is envisaged that
higher density housing will also be accommodated. The Town Centre offers an
opportunity to integrate the functions of living, working and playing in a compact,
readily accessible area. It is intended that major commercial uses and higher
density residential uses will have convenient access to 208 Street and to
80 Avenue.”
This application encompasses a significant portion of the Willoughby Town Centre area, an area
that is instrumental in achieving the Township’s vision of a core district that will “anchor”
development in Willoughby and encourage healthier neighbourhoods, reduce reliance on
automobiles and generally enhance the quality of life for area residents. The Yorkson
Neighbourhood Plan, amended in 2008, further describes the vision for this town centre as
follows:
“The Willoughby Town Centre consists of Town Market Commercial and Town
Market Mixed Use (i.e., integrated residential and commercial) designed to be a
walkable environment. It is focused at the intersection of 208 Street and
80 Avenue, the neighbourhood’s two primary roads providing access within and
through it. It is here that neighbourhood residents will find a wide range of retail,
business and entertainment activities. The Town Centre is further divided into a
core and periphery. The intent of the core and periphery distinction is to create a
vibrant ‘village’ core with controlled uses and heights while providing significant
supportive uses and residential densities on the periphery. Both designations
provide for mixed use developments, but only the mixed use land-use
designation allows for mixed uses in separate buildings. The Town Market Mixed
Use area is located adjacent the Town Market Commercial area and extends the
commercial core while providing opportunities for additional office space or
higher density residential development than in the core.”
In staff’s opinion the land uses contemplated by the QC Holdings application comply with the
land use policies of both the Willoughby Community Plan and the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan.
The proponent has applied to develop 8.07 ha (19.93 acres) of land located at 20622 and
20682 – 80 Avenue, 20667 – 78 Avenue and 7851 and 7879 – 208 Street, to facilitate the initial
development in the Willoughby Town Centre. Two Bylaws are proposed. The first is Yorkson
Neighbourhood Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 4767 proposing minor adjustments to the Town
Centre Land Use Policies, as well as other process/timing amendments intended to “kick start”
development of the Town Centre. The second is Rezoning Bylaw No. 4768, amending the
zoning of the subject properties to Comprehensive Development Zone (CD-78) to accommodate
a mixed use development consisting of retail, office, and apartment uses. This report is only
intended to address issues of land use and density, as the form, character and siting of the
individual elements of the project will be addressed through subsequent Development Permit
applications, which staff will present to Council once detailed design work has been completed.

Surrounding Land Uses:

North: 80 Avenue, beyond which are suburban residential lots (zoned SR-2, but
designated ‘Mixed Use’ and ‘Apartment’ in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan and
the subject of a current rezoning and OCP amendment (208 Developments)
proposing apartment and townhouse uses);
Northeast: Willoughby Elementary school, (zoned P-1, but designated Town Centre
Commercial in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan);
East: 208 Street, beyond which are suburban residential lots (zoned Suburban
Residential Zone SR-2 and designated for ‘Apartment’ in the Yorkson
Neighbourhood Plan);
South: 78 Avenue, beyond which is a suburban residential lot (zoned SR-2, but
designated ‘Apartment’ in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan);
West: suburban residential lots (zoned SR-2, but designated ‘Mixed Residential’ and
‘Townhouse’ in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan).
Development Permit:
All of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan area is designated as a mandatory Development Permit
area in the Willoughby Community Plan. Applicable is “Development Permit Area ‘J’ – Town
Market Commercial” and “Development Permit Area ‘K’ – Town Market Mixed Use.” Subsequent
to rezoning (or further along in the rezoning process) the proponent intends to submit a detailed
Development Permit application to Council. The Development Permit will address the details of
the form and character of the Town Centre development including siting, mass, height, access,
parking, landscape, tree protection/replacement, child friendly amenity areas, building materials,
colours and other site development items. The Development Permit will be reviewed by Council
and is required to be issued prior to the issuance of any building permits for the site. In support
of the rezoning the proponent has submitted a number of preliminary plans.
Land Use:
The QC Holdings’ Development Proposal complies with the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan’s land
use policies for the Town Centre lands, permitting a mix of institutional, commercial, residential
and retail uses. Proposed Bylaw No. 4768 establishes a new Comprehensive Development
Zone for the Willoughby Town Centre consistent with these policies.
Primary land uses proposed for Phase One of the QC Holdings development include seven
mixed commercial / residential buildings consisting of retail units at grade with three stories of
residential apartments above, two larger format retail anchors (grocery store and pharmacy), a
two story office building, a restaurant and a number of smaller retail units. In total, Phase One is
proposed to have approximately 10,219 m2 (110, 000 ft2) of commercial floor space and 192
residential units over a gross site area of 4.98 ha (12.31 acres).
Phase Two of the project is envisioned to consist of higher density residential uses, including
towers up to 12 storeys in height, (subject to design and engineering requirements outlined in
the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan,) with a combination of street fronting townhouse and
commercial podiums. Phase Two will have approximately 750 residential units and a yet to be
determined amount of commercial space. Staff supports the land uses proposed as they comply
with the land use policies outlined in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan for the Town Centre
area.

Sub-zone Requirements:
The zoning and density being proposed by QC Holdings complies with the Yorkson
Neighbourhood Plan land use designations and policies. Rezoning Bylaw No. 4768 implements
these policies by creating a new Comprehensive Development Zone (CD-78) and nine (9) sub-
zones for the Willoughby Town Centre, a summary of which follows:

Neighbourhood Plan Amendment:

As noted, the subject site is currently designated ‘Town Market Commercial’ and ‘Town Market
Mixed Use’ in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan. To facilitate the proposed development the
following amendments have been requested:
A) Locating major retail anchors (i.e. major grocery store and pharmacy) south of the
High Street, as opposed to the current requirement for these uses to be located
north of the High Street.
Staff do not object to this change and support amending the locational criteria to only
require that major anchors be located adjacent to the High Street. This adjustment
remains consistent with the plan’s intent calling for the more intense commercial
uses to be located along the High Street.
B) Exempting the Town Centre’s phase one development from the need to secure a
new Elementary School/ Neighbourhood Park site in the Southwest Phase prior to
development.
Section 8.2.7 of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan already excludes commercial

development from these development prerequisites. The proponent initially intended
to develop the High Street with strictly commercial uses and defer all residential
development to later stages. However, discussions between the applicant and staff
led to the conclusion that to create an effective pedestrian centre with strong urban
design and a true sense of place, it is vital to include a residential component along
the High Street in conjunction with commercial development.
In order to facilitate the preferred mixed use High Street design, staff suggest that
Section 8.2.7 of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan be amended to exempt Phase
One mixed-use development along the High Street from the Elementary School /
Neighbourhood Park development prerequisite. All future residential development in
the Town Centre, and elsewhere in the Southwest Phase of Yorkson, will still be
required to satisfy this requirement prior to development. In the interim any children
generated by the subject development will still be able to attend the existing
Willoughby Elementary School. Due to the nature of this anticipated residential
development (i.e. apartment units above commercial) the number of children
generated is expected to be very low.
Staff Support the proposed neighbourhood plan amendments as they serve to improve the
viability of the Town Centre development and remain consistent with the overall goals and
objectives of the Willoughby Community Plan and Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan.
Greenways:
As part of the project, the applicant is required to develop a pedestrian friendly street interface
along the 80 Avenue and 208 Street frontages, as identified in the Yorkson Neighbourhood
Plan. These pedestrian facilities will connect to adjacent street greenways and form part of the
overall Yorkson Neighbourhood greenway network. These sections of street frontage are
designed to be the equivalent of a street greenway; however, they will be provided in a modified
form in recognition of the more dynamic, urban nature of the Town Centre. They will include
Page 173 of 241

G.5
(QC HOLDINGS)
Page 13 . . .
widened sidewalks, weather protection in the form of awnings and galleries, expanded hard
surfaces, street trees in decorative grates, and street furniture such as benches and trash cans.
Details of the open space improvements (i.e. required hard and soft landscaping, street furniture
etc.) will need to be finalized to the acceptance of the Manager of Parks Design and
Development prior to final reading of the Rezoning Bylaw.
The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan also identifies areas where greenlinks are required.
Greenlinks are privately owned and maintained greenways that are not adjacent to public roads,
yet are intended for public use. One greenlink is required on site to provide public pedestrian
connection from 78 Avenue to the High Street at the heart of the Town Centre.
As a condition of final reading the proponent will be required to secure the greenlink and street
fronting pedestrian facilities by means of a public access right-of-way, and secure construction
as part of a Servicing Agreement. Prior to final reading the proponent must also comply with
provisions of the Yorkson Greenway Amenity Zoning Policy.

The applicant has submitted a tree survey indicating that 231 significant trees currently exist on
site. The applicant has indicated that very few of these trees will be retained. The Township’s
Tree Protection Bylaw, however, requires that approximately 600 replacement trees be planted,
plus street trees. As the ultimate site plan has yet to be determined, the number of retained and
replacement trees may be subject to change. Ultimate tree protection and replacement details
are subject to the final acceptance of the Manager of Parks Design and Development prior to
final reading.
Transit:
Transit has yet to be extended into the Yorkson Neighbourhood. The road layout of the overall
Yorkson development, however, has been designed to accommodate the provision of future
transit routes in accordance with Translink’s operating policies and procedures. Each year
Translink provides Council with the opportunity to input/comment on transit routes in the
Township. It is believed that 208 Street will initially become a transit route with the Willoughby
Town Centre as a primary destination.
Servicing:
Servicing of the Yorkson Neighbourhood was reviewed by the Engineering Division as part of
the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan review. Prior to final reading the proponent is required to
secure full municipal services and enter into a Servicing Agreement in accordance with the
Township’s Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw. The Servicing Agreement will include
all municipal off-site road and utility upgrades/extensions and a stormwater management plan.
A Sediment and Erosion Control plan will also be required in accordance with the Sediment and
Erosion Control Bylaw.
The applicant is proposing to stage the development in two (2) phases; the first phase will be
centred along High Street and will consist of the anchor retail tenants and a number of mixed
use buildings (up to 4 storeys), the second phase will be around the edges of the site and will
consist of mid-rise residential and some minor commercial uses, (up to 12 storeys). A restrictive
covenant will be required to be registered, prior to final reading, restricting development of each
phase until a Servicing Agreement is finalized for that phase. This will enable detailed servicing
requirements to be dealt with on a phase by phase basis.

Prior to final reading the proponent is also required to provide a stormwater management plan
for the Southwest Phase as delineated on Map 4 of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan. The
location of the proposed detention pond is to be adjacent to the headwater of Yorkson Creek.
Securing a suitable site for the detention pond is required prior to final reading of the Rezoning
Bylaw. The proponent is required to design and secure the community stormwater detention
pond to service the Southwest Phase, to the acceptance of the Township. The proponent may
also choose to enter into a Development Works Agreement (DWA) with the Township (similar to
a latecomer’s agreement) dealing with the recovery of some front-ended servicing costs. In this
case, a DWA is anticipated for the stormwater detention pond serving all of the Southwest
Phase. Completion of the DWA, if required, must occur prior to final reading of the Rezoning
Bylaw.
Although a traffic study was conducted as part of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan update
process, a site specific traffic impact study must be finalized by the proponent for the subject
development. It will primarily examine the internal vehicle circulation, the impact of the
development on the existing and future municipal road network, and make recommendations for
interim and ultimate road designs. Ultimately the site will be designed in accordance with the
recommendations of the report, in consultation with the Township’s Traffic Engineering
Department, to the acceptance of the General Manager of Engineering. This has been included
as a development prerequisite.
Road dedication, widenings and necessary traffic improvements (including approximate

dedications of 24.3 metres for the High Street, 16 metres for 206A Street, 10.2 metres for
208 Street, 9.7 and metres for 80 Avenue, in accordance with the Township’s Subdivision and
Development Control Bylaw No. 3650 and the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan) must be secured
prior to final reading to the acceptance of the General Manager of Engineering.
The development will also require the completion of a Road Closure Bylaw for the un-
constructed portion of 79 Avenue south of the existing Willoughby Elementary School and for
the un-constructed portion of 78 Avenue south of Lot 2, Plan 82374
Advance Street Plan:

In accordance with the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan, the initial development in each phase
must provide an overall layout plan addressing roads, pedestrian links, greenways,
watercourses, environmental compensation areas, land use and housing types. The layout is to
ensure that each phase can develop in an overall comprehensive manner and is to function as
an evolving guide to development. Such a plan has been prepared by the proponent and has
been tentatively accepted by Township staff. As per the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan, prior to
final reading the proponent must finalize details of the layout plan to the acceptance of the
Director of Community Development.
Town Centre Concept Plan:

In accordance with the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan, initial development in the Town Centre
area must provide a comprehensive development plan for the Town Centre area to the
acceptance of the General Manager of Community Development, that addresses the following:
“…land use, pedestrian and traffic circulation, massing and location of

buildings, location of ‘landmark’ buildings, architectural continuity,
streetscape design, parking and the location and use of the heritage school
house and appropriate landscaping around the building.”
Page 175 of 241

G.5
(QC HOLDINGS)
Page 15 . . .
The conceptual site plan submitted (See page 8) forms the basis of this comprehensive
development plan. It should be noted that this plan will provide general details of development
for adjacent properties and establish fixed points of access for vehicular and pedestrian
movements, however, specific siting and uses will be determined on an application by
application basis as the Town Centre builds out over time.
School Sites:
The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan states that “The following general prerequisites must be
satisfied prior to the adoption of a rezoning bylaw in any phase:
a. the designated elementary school site indicated for that phase, whether it is located in that
phase or not, must be secured to the acceptance of the School District, subject to Sections
8.2.6 and 8.2.7;…”
As noted previously the applicant requests that this requirement be eased for the first phase of
development.
The Yorkson Neighbourhood currently falls within the catchment area of Willoughby Elementary
School (located adjacent to the site on the southwest corner of 208 Street and 80 Avenue). In
the short term, elementary students from the proposed development are expected to attend
Willoughby Elementary School (which has some capacity available). Yorkson students will
attend it until sufficient numbers are generated to construct additional elementary schools in the
Yorkson Plan area. The School District has indicated that the first Yorkson school to be
constructed will be an elementary school on a site already acquired by the School District on
83 Avenue, east of 208 Street. Nevertheless, given the housing form proposed in phase one, it
is not expected that many elementary students will be generated.
The proposed development falls within the Southwest Phase of the Yorkson Plan. The ultimate
location for the five acre elementary school site for this phase is envisioned to be south and
west of the subject site, closer to the centre of the catchment area. If Council agrees to the
Yorkson Plan amendment contemplated in this report, prior to the development of subsequent
residential units (beyond Phase One) the elementary school site will need to be secured to the
acceptance of the School District and Township.
Another secondary school site to serve the Willoughby neighbourhoods is yet to be pursued as
capacity exists at Mountain Secondary School. An expansion of Mountain Secondary has been
identified as a priority in the School District’s capital plan. Yorkson secondary school students
will be expected to attend Mountain Secondary.

The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan states that “The following general prerequisites must be
satisfied prior to the adoption of a rezoning bylaw in any phase:…
b. the designated neighbourhood park site indicated for that phase, whether it is located in
that phase or not, must be secured to the acceptance of the Township, subject to Sections
8.2.6 and 8.2.7;…”
As noted previously, the applicant requests that this requirement be eased for the first phase of
development.
Page 176 of 241

G.5
(QC HOLDINGS)
Page 16 . . .
The proposed development falls within the Southwest Phase of the Yorkson Plan. If Council
agrees to the Yorkson Plan amendment contemplated in this report, prior to the development of
subsequent residential units (beyond Phase One) the neighbourhood park site school site will
be secured to the acceptance of the Township.
Staff are supportive of this request as, in addition to the playing fields and playground
equipment located immediately adjacent to the development site at the Willoughby Elementary
School, the existing Willoughby neighbourhood park (located at 84 Avenue and 206 Street) is
approximately 750 metres from the development site. The future Yorkson Community Park site
is planned to be located immediately north of the development site, across 80 Avenue. Prior to
final reading the proponent is also required to comply with the Township’s 5% Neighbourhood
Parkland Acquisition Policy. Although few children are expected to be generated in Phase One
of the development (due to the proposed housing form), the development will include the
requisite child friendly amenity areas, the details of which will be determined in the future
Development Permit.
Flex and Universal Housing:

In accordance with Section 4.2.1(9) of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan a minimum of 5% of
the units in any residential development shall provide either flex or universal housing prior to
final reading of the rezoning bylaw. The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan defines flex and
universal housing as follows.
Flex Housing:” is an innovative approach to home design, renovation and construction

that emphasizes accessibility and is engineered to adapt at minimal cost to the
changing needs of occupants over their lifetime. The principles of accessibility,
adaptability and affordability are applicable to the design and construction of single
family dwellings, duplexes, multi-units, townhouses and even apartments, allowing
residents to convert space as their needs change. The concept includes:
• The use of health materials including structural elements, flooring choices,
heating systems and finishes that provide improved indoor air quality and
ventilation have been incorporated into the house;
• The us of energy efficient Power Smart appliances and lighting, plus a high
efficiency forced-air heating system; and
• Wheelchair accessibility through widened hallways and doorways, lowered
countertops and placement of light and electrical switches within easy reach.
The house is designed so that it can accommodate a future elevator.”
Universal Housing:
“Universal design are those home design features that make a home safe and
comfortable for everyone, young or old, whether they have a disability or not. It’s
making a home for all ages. Examples include cabinets with pull-out and kitchen
counters at several heights to accommodate different tasks and postures”.
The proponent has agreed to provide a minimum of 5% of the units as adaptive housing in
accordance with Township policy. This will be secured by Restrictive Covenant and detailed in
the future DP.

Page 17 . . .
Environment:
In accordance, with the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan the Town Centre development is required
to comply with the Township’s Streamside Protection Bylaw and obtain approval from the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans (Section 35 approval). These issues have been addressed
as a part of the Yorkson Neighbourhood plan review process in consultation with DFO and the
proponent’s consultants. Evolving from this process was the need to protect the headwaters of
Yorkson Creek and compensate for the piping of a number of roadside drainage ditches.
Township staff are close to resolution of these matters with DFO, within the context of an overall
environmental protection/compensation plan for the Southwest Phase. Final acceptance of this
plan by DFO is required prior to final reading.
The Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas (E.S.A.) Study identifies the lands as forming
part of the Willoughby and Willowbrook area. As part of the required Servicing Agreement, the
applicant will provide full urban services as well as a stormwater management plan and
sediment control measures as a prerequisite of the rezoning application.
Completion of these requirements and compliance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw
satisfy the management guidelines identified in the Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas
Study.

The development of the Willoughby Town Centre is considered the most crucial element of
ensuring the success of the Willoughby Community Plan and the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan.
QC Holdings’ Rezoning and Neighbourhood Plan amendment requests serve to facilitate the
implementation of these plans in a manner that is consistent with the overall goals and
objectives of the Plan. Adjustments to the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan’s implementation
policies are supported by staff and are considered a practical approach to ensuring the success
of the Willoughby Town Centre. Staff recommend that Rezoning Bylaw No. 4768 and
Neighbourhood Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 4767 be given first and second reading and that
the public hearing be scheduled. Final Reading of the Bylaws is subject to the thirteen (13)
development prerequisites outlined in this report. Development Permit(s) detailing the form,
character and siting of subsequent development will follow this rezoning request.

The five subject properties (3.37 ha / 8.33 acres total area) are located south of Fraser Highway
in the 21800 block of 50 Avenue in Murrayville. Of the three lots located on the north side of 50
Avenue, the westerly two lots are vacant and the easterly lot (21921 – 50 Avenue) contains an
existing residence. The remaining two properties on the south side of 50 Avenue are treed and
contain no buildings. All existing buildings will be removed to accommodate the proposed
development.
North: Fraser Highway beyond which is an existing single family neighbourhood and the
Langley Memorial Hospital grounds;
East: vacant property south of Fraser Highway (Township owned);
South: multiple family developments, including:
• the Trillium on the Ridge apartment building (3 storeys) and the Livingstone
townhouse / apartment development, both located on the north side of 49 Avenue
• the Cedar Crest townhouse development, located on the south side of
50 Avenue (south of the proposed northern townhouse site, and west of the
proposed southern townhouse site), and
West: 218A Street (west half only constructed), beyond which are single family homes and the
Langley Fundamental Elementary School.
Proposed Murrayville Community Plan Amendment (Bylaw 4760):

The Murrayville Community Plan (adopted in 1989) delineates the connection of 50 Avenue to
49 Avenue via 220 Street (through the proposed development site) as part of the overall
community road network. The applicant has applied to amend the Murrayville Community Plan
by redesignating the area north of the proposed road connection from “Single Family Two”
(maximum density of 15 units per ha/ 6 units per acre) to “Multi Family One” (maximum density
of 44 units per ha/ 18 units per acre). The lands to the south of 50 Avenue are already
designated “Multi Family One”. Bylaw 4760 also amends the Community Plan by including the
lands being re-designated to “Multi Family One” as part of “Development Permit Area A”
(Residential).
Based on the current Community Plan designations, the subject properties could be developed
with a maximum of 97 units, as noted below:
• north of 50 Avenue (“Single Family Two”) – 4.39 acres @ 6 units per acre = 26 units
• south of 50 Avenue (“Multi Family One”) – 3.94 acres @ 18 units per acre = 71 units
The Community Plan amendment application will re-designate the area north of 50 Avenue to
“Multi Family One”, which would permit 79 units to be developed, resulting in a maximum of 150
units on the entire land assembly. The applicant however is proposing to develop a total of 146
townhouse units, at a density of 43.3 units per ha (17.5 units per acre). An increase of 49 units
is thus proposed.

Existing multi family residential developments in the Murrayville area (south of Fraser Highway)
are illustrated in Attachment B. The density of development ranges from a low of 7.0 units per
acre to a high of 47.1 units per acre, with an overall average density of 16.0 units per acre).
The details of each development are shown in the following table:
Development Name Land area Number of Density

Eaglecrest (apartments) 2.45 88 35.92
Eaglecrest (townhouses) 3.22 40 12.42
Total 51.66 827 16.0
Staff support the proposed Community Plan amendment as the proposed development is
consistent with the Official Community Plan’s objective of providing a range of housing options
for the community, and is complementary to adjacent multi-family development. Staff note that
the Parklane proposal of 17.5 units per acre is consistent with existing multi family development
in the area.
A letter submitted by the applicant’s architect provides the following rationale in support of the
proposed Community Plan amendment:
“The land use proposed – townhouses – is consistent with the other developments in the
neighbourhood and yet adds some new housing forms to increase the overall variety in
Murrayville.
To the south and west of the site are an apartment building and a number of townhouses.
There are three schools nearby that are within walking distance, and townhouses are an
attractive home to parents with children. Local community amenities are within 2 to 3 blocks of
the site and will encourage walking and biking as part of smart urban development, including:
• the WC Blair Recreation Centre

• a public library
• Langley Hospital
• Retail stores and services; and
• the Fraser Highway greenway which crosses through the site and connects to the
Murrayville greenway system.
Page 196 of 241

G.6
Page 11 . . .
The Murrayville Community Plan’s own planning goals, which this application supports,
include:
• the development of a pleasant and efficient residential community with

complementary scaled commercial, recreational and employment facilities
• the development of an urban area with attractive residential qualities and good road
and utility services
The Murrayville Community Plan’s own planning objectives, which this application
supports, include:
• to facilitate development of the Murrayville area in compliance with overall

development concepts contained in the Langley Official Community Plan
• to encourage the development of the community primarily as a residential area with a
variety of housing types and densities suitable to a range of lifestyles
• to provide for several fully serviced higher density residential areas
• to ensure that subdivision patters and roads are adequately designed for more
intensive forms of development in the long term.”
Proposed Zoning (Bylaw 4761):

The application proposes to rezone the site from Suburban Residential Zone SR-1 to
Comprehensive Development Zone CD-33. The CD-33 zone was originally created to
accommodate another Parklane townhouse development (currently under construction at the
southwest corner of 96 Avenue and 204 Street) in Walnut Grove. It will also well serve the
proposed Murrayville site. The proposed zoning will permit townhouses with a maximum gross
density of 44 units per hectare (18 units per acre) to match the “Multi Family One” designation
being proposed for the site in the Murrayville Community Plan. The overall density of the
proposed development is 43.3 units per ha (17.5 units per acre).
Proposed Development:
The proposed development consists of 146 townhouse units to be built as two different
developments (to the north and south of 50 Avenue). The northern site will contain 75 units in
16 buildings (with 2 to 6 units in each), with access from an internal private strata roadway
connected to 50 Avenue. The southern site will contain 71 units in 12 buildings (with 2 to 8 units
in each), with access from a private strata roadway connected to 220 Street. A combination of
14 wider 4-bedroom units (side by side double garages) and 132 narrower 3-bedroom units
(tandem parking garages) is proposed. Individual units will range in size from 116 to 188 m2
(1,254 to 2,022 ft2) plus garage.
A “Design Rationale” submitted by Rositch Hemphill and Associates in support of the proposal
states:
“The placement of the open space and the buildings on the site have been carefully thought out.
Page 197 of 241

G.6
Page 12 . . .
The clusters of units are sited to permit tree retention and expansion of the Fraser Highway
greenway.
• Two significant tree retention areas that flow from one to the other and into the greenway
along Fraser Highway are incorporated. These trees are significant features as seen from
the valley floor looking east up the hill.
• The site planning includes the extension of the greenway from the east, along Fraser
Highway, to the west. The greenway is split between the Fraser Highway, to enhance the
green buffer and aesthetics viewed from both inside and outside of the sites, and the new
extension of 50 Avenue, with the greenway being incorporated into a widened sidewalk
boulevard along the north side of 50 Avenue.
The clusters of units are oriented to achieve “doors on the street”. The townhouses are
designed to provide front doors and yards facing onto the street along 50 Avenue wherever the
grade relationship allows.
The clusters of townhouses are scaled to respond to their surroundings.
• The townhouses on 218A Street, where there are single family houses to the west across
the cul-de-sac, are scaled down to two storeys and are single or double wide to provide a
modest massing facing the houses and more open and green space. The treatment of
these townhouse ends are planned to resemble single family front facades with no garage
access from 218A Street.
• The townhouses that abut the neighbouring townhouses and apartment building to the south
likewise have the narrow ends of the cluster facing the adjacent property to provide less of a
mass and more open and green space. This also provides the most privacy between
neighbours.
• The townhouses on the south and west sides of the southern site, and the west side of the
northern site at the northwestern corner have increased side and rear yard setbacks of 7.5m
to provide a greater extent of distance and landscape buffer against the adjacent
developments.
The townhouses are arranged to allow for the best use of private yards. The townhouses along
Fraser Highway are sited so the kitchens and back yards are oriented to the east and west,
capturing sun during the day, and not having them facing the traffic noise on Fraser Highway.
The site design provides significantly larger and greener treed open spaces than the multi family
developments to the south and west. A green buffer is provided along the south edge abutting
neighbouring residential apartments.
Parking:
A total of 354 parking spaces are proposed to be provided, consisting of 292 indoor spaces (28
in “side by side” garages, 264 in “tandem” garages), 47 surface spaces (not located in front of
garages) and 15 spaces on driveways in front of garages. The Township’s Zoning Bylaw
requires a total of 361 parking spaces to be provided, based on a requirement of 2.2 spaces for
units with “side by side” garages and 2.5 spaces for units with “tandem” garages. The applicant
is requesting a variance to the parking requirements to permit 7 fewer parking spaces to be
provided. Staff note that the 7 deficient parking spaces could be provided on site, however, the
result would be the loss of more mature coniferous trees. The following rationale has been
provided by the applicant’s architect:
Page 198 of 241

G.6
Page 13 . . .
“All units have two parking spaces within each unit (some side by side and some tandem) plus
full driveway parking. In addition there are visitor parking spaces on site that, together with the
on-street parking immediately adjacent to the sites provide far more than the parking
requirements for townhouses in the Township of Langley.
The parking does not meet the full requirements of the Zoning Bylaw. However, 98% of the
required parking is provided on site. There are 354 stalls provided, 361 are required; there are
however 50 street parking spaces immediately in front of the two sites. This means the 354
stalls on site works out to 2.2 on-site spaces per “side by side” unit and 2.45 spaces per
“tandem” unit.
The rationale for the proposed parking arrangement is:
1. The “doors on the street” aspect of urban design: The intent of doors on the street is not
merely visual. If the approach is to be fully supported, those front doors should be used
– by owners walking home and by visitors visiting the home. On-street parking for
visitors supports the active use of those doors on the street, adds to pedestrian activity
on adjacent sidewalks and enhances security.
2. Street parking: There will be almost no demand for the street parking other than for this
development as other uses are further away and more convenient parking is provided
closer to those uses.
3. Desire to maintain treed areas and green spaces: Parking for visitors has been carefully
distributed throughout the site to limit impact on tree retention and tot lot green spaces.
This trade off, leaving seven stalls to be located on the street, is deemed of value to the
residents and local community.”
In staff’s opinion, the requested variance in parking requirements (from 361 spaces to 354
spaces) is minor in scale and can be supported. The proposed development is located within
walking distance of many community facilities and retail stores. Additional parking spaces will
be available on 50 Avenue adjacent to the development to accommodate overflow and visitor
parking. The proposed design of 50 Avenue will include parking bays along sections of the road
to provide dedicated curb side parking spaces for public use.
Development Permit:
As the subject area is designated as a mandatory Development Permit area, the applicant has
also applied for a Development Permit. In accordance with Council’s policy, supporting
materials have been submitted detailing the proposed development’s form, character and siting.
Development Permit guidelines relevant to the site are contained in the Murrayville Community
Plan (see Attachment A). Proposed Development Permit No. 100577 is attached to this report
(see Attachment D).
Supporting materials provided by the project architect indicate the proposed building elevations
will feature heavy profile asphalt shingle roofs, with the building exterior clad in a variety of vinyl
siding (horizontal treatments), board and batten vinyl siding (vertical treatments), wood and vinyl
wall shingles, cultured stone (on elect areas), aluminum deck guardrails and handrails, wood
trim and brackets, widow planter boxes, and decorative window shutters. Several colour
schemes are proposed using muted tones with tan, grey or green shades to provide variety
throughout the development.
Page 199 of 241

G.6
Page 14 . . .
The proposed building height (2 to 3 storeys), site coverage (24%) and building siting comply
with the provisions of the CD-33 zone. The proposed development in staff’s opinion complies
with the Residential Development Permit guidelines for the area (see Attachment A) which will
apply to the site following adoption of the proposed Murrayville Community Plan amendment
(Bylaw 4719).
Cross sections illustrating the relationship between the proposed development and the adjacent
properties are provided in Attachment C.
Servicing:
The development site will be required to provide full municipal services including on-site
stormwater detention in accordance with the Township’s Subdivision and Development Control
Bylaw. As part of the development, the applicant will be required to complete construction of 50
Avenue to an urban standard through the site, and to complete 220 Street (to provide a
connection between 49 and 50 Avenues) along the east side of the development. These road
works are considered important elements of the local road network, and have been shown in the
Murrayville Community Plan since its adoption in 1989.
Full municipal services exist to the proposed development site. However, in addition to the on-
site stormwater detention, staff anticipate that the applicant will be required to upgrade
downstream storm sewers. Prior to final reading, the proponent will be required to enter into a
servicing agreement to secure provision of utilities (sanitary and storm sewer and water
service), and construction of 218A Street, 220 Street and 50 Avenue adjacent to the site. Road
widening dedication (to provide a 20 metre road width on 220 Street, and completion of the east
half of 218A Street) will also be provided prior to consideration of final reading of the rezoning
bylaw. Although the applicant’s engineering consultant has confirmed servicing capacities exist
to support the proposed development, the proponent will be required to upgrade downstream
sanitary and storm sewers and drainage works, and provide on-site detention.
Environmental:
forming part of the Murrayville Urban Area. There are no watercourses on the site. The
applicant will be required to provide erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with
the Erosion and Sediment Control Bylaw, to the acceptance of the General Manager of
Engineering. As part of the required Servicing Agreement, the applicant will be required to
provide full urban services as well as a stormwater management plan. The provision of these
items and compliance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw satisfy the management
guidelines identified in the Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas Study.
Greenways:
A connection will be made to the Fraser Highway greenway in the northeast corner of the site
(within the current dedication for 50 Avenue). Prior to consideration of final reading of the
rezoning bylaw, the applicant will be required to submit final plans for the proposed greenway
connection to the acceptance of the Manager of Parks Design and Development.
Page 200 of 241

G.6
Page 15 . . .
Landscaping:
The applicant proposes extensive landscaping throughout the site, as shown in Schedule V of
the Development Permit (see Attachment D). The proposed landscaping consists of a
combination of coniferous and deciduous trees, along with shrubs, groundcovers, and grassed
areas. Each unit will have a fenced landscaped yard area with a grade level patio for private
amenity space. Trees and shrubs will be installed adjacent to the various buildings and along
the internal strata roadways.
Street trees will be planted adjacent to 50 Avenue and 220 Street (in compliance with the
Township’s Boulevard Treatment and Street Tree policy).
Shared common landscaped areas will include a “village green” with play equipment and a
passive play area with pathways / seating (in the northern townhouse site) and several common
play areas (in the southern townhouse site).

An Integrated Site Design Concept (ISDC) was provided by the applicant’s consultants. The
submitted information indicates that 206 significant trees exist on the site, 163 of which are
proposed to be removed. A total of 41 significant trees are proposed to be retained on-site,
primarily in two groupings (one adjacent to Fraser Highway in the northeast part of the
development and another on the south side of 50 Avenue). In accordance with the Township’s
Tree Protection Bylaw, 258 replacement trees will be planted on-site.
Final tree retention, protection, and replacement plans are subject to the final acceptance of the
Manager of Parks Design and Development. This requirement has been included in the list of
development prerequisites to be completed prior to final reading of the rezoning bylaw.
Transit:
Bus service is currently provided along Fraser Highway by the 502 (Surrey Central / Langley
Centre/ Aldergrove) route, and on 48 Avenue by the C60 (Langley Centre / Langley Hospital)
and C61 (Brookswood / Langley Centre) routes.
Schools:
Students from the development will be expected to attend James Hill Elementary School or
Langley Secondary School. Other options for students include Langley Fundamental
Elementary School (located three blocks to the west), or the independent schools in the
Murrayville area (Langley Montessori School, Credo Elementary, Credo High, and Langley
Christian Middle School). The School District was advised of Parklane’s proposal and has not
voiced any objection to it.
Child Friendly Amenity Area:

Section 111.5 of the Township’s Zoning Bylaw requires provision of one or more “Child Friendly
Amenity Areas” for townhouse developments on the basis of 8 m2 per residential unit. A total
area of 1,168 m2 (12,573 ft2) of Child Friendly Amenity Area is required based on the 146 units
being proposed. The applicant is proposing four play areas (satisfying this requirement) with
several play structures, seating areas, and creative/formal/informal play areas in the common
landscaped areas (two in each of the northern and southern sites) for use by residents of the
townhouse projects. Prior to final reading, the proponent will be required to submit final design
plans and secure the construction of the children’s play areas to the acceptance of the Manager
of Parks Design and Development.

The nearest Township facility is Denny Ross Memorial Park located approximately 3 to 4 blocks
away adjacent to the former Murrayville Elementary School at 219 Street and Old Yale Road.
The W.C. Blair Recreation Centre (aquatic and fitness facility) is located three blocks to the east
of the proposed development. The proponent has also volunteered to provide a one year family
pass to Langley recreation facilities to each townhouse purchaser.
Public Consultation:
The applicant has held informal meetings with adjacent strata developments over the past year,
and will hold additional open houses in late July / August of 2009 (in advance of the anticipated
public hearing).

9. Compliance with the Township’s 5% Neighbourhood Parkland Acquisition Policy;
10. Payment of supplemental Rezoning Application fee, Integrated Site Design Concept
(ISDC) Review fee, and Site Servicing Review fee.
The proposed development is located in an area currently designated for “Single Family Two”
and “Multi Family One” purposes in the Murrayville Community Plan. In staff’s opinion the
proposed townhouse development and redesignation of the northern portion of the site to “Multi
Family One” to permit a 146 unit townhouse development is compatible with surrounding land
use patterns and densities and is consistent with the Official Community Plan’s objective of
providing a range of housing options for the community.

The subject site is designated a mandatory Development Permit area to permit Council the
opportunity to review the form, character and siting of the proposed development. Staff
recommends that Bylaws No. 4760 and 4761 be given first and second reading, subject to ten
(10) development prerequisites being finalized (prior to final reading of Bylaw 4761), and that
Development Permit No. 100577 be issued (subject to four (4) conditions) subsequent to final
reading of Bylaw 4761.

3.4 Residential Development Permit Area
Multi Family and adjacent Institutional areas are designated as development permit areas under
Section 945(4)(e) of the Municipal Act to establish objectives and provide guidelines for the form
and character of development. These areas are shown as Development Permit Area A on Map
3.
The objective of the development permit area designation is to ensure safe and attractive
multiple family neighbourhoods and to reduce conflicts with adjacent uses. The development
permit guidelines for this area are:
(a) Development should be designed to integrate with and be compatible with adjacent
development with respect to siting of buildings, exterior finish and design. Pitched roofs
shall be encouraged.
(b) Buildings should be designed and sited so that sun penetration to roads and
adjacent properties is maximized.
(c) Landscaping shall be required to enhance the appearance of the development.

Careful consideration shall be given to retaining as many of the existing trees as
possible. Buildings and parking, loading and storage areas should be screened
from adjacent roads and single family residential development. Garbage
receptacles and other service areas should be screened. A landscaping plan
shall be submitted as part of a development permit application.
(d) Building materials, design and massing shall support the creation of an attractive
residential environment. The use of "untreated" concrete or "unfinished" metal or
aluminum as a final building finish shall not be permitted.
(e) Signs should be designed so that they are compatible with buildings.
(f) Walkways should be developed to ensure convenient access to and from

adjacent commercial and institutional uses. For security, walkways should be
lighted and allow overview from adjacent dwellings.
(g) Ravine and creek areas shall be treated under the provisions of Development
Permit Area F, Section 3.11.

REPORT TO
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
PRESENTED: JUNE 15, 2009 - REGULAR MEETING REPORT: 09-81

FROM: FINANCE DIVISION FILE: 1760-20
SUBJECT: 2009 CAPITAL WORKS LOAN AUTHORIZATION BYLAWS FOR SEWER,
TRANSPORTATION AND STORMWATER CAPITAL PROJECTS
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Council give first, second and third reading to the Sewer Capital Works Loan Authorization
Bylaw 2009 No. 4750 for the purpose of borrowing funds in the amount of $8.5 million for Sewer
Capital Works projects within the 2009 Sewer Capital Program repayable from the Sewer Utility
Funds; and further
That Council give first, second and third reading to the Stormwater Capital Works Loan
Authorization Bylaw 2009 No. 4752 for the purpose of borrowing funds in the amount of $1.8
million for Stormwater Capital Works projects within the 2009 Stormwater Capital Program
repayable from the Stormwater Utility Funds; and further
That Council give first, second and third reading to the Transportation Capital Works Loan
Authorization Bylaw 2009 No. 4751 for the purpose of borrowing funds in the amount of $8.7
million for Transportation Capital Works projects within the 2009 Transportation Capital Program
repayable from the Development Cost Charges Reserve.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Community Charter stipulates that borrowings for greater than five years must be obtained
from the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA) and require a loan authorization bylaw. Loan
authorization bylaws generally may only be adopted with the approval of the electors with some
exceptions. The Community Charter Regulation, Municipal Liabilities Regulations, provides an
exemption from elector approval if total annual debt servicing cost is less than 5% of the
municipal annual revenue calculated in accordance with this regulation. At this time the
Township meets this requirement and is therefore exempted from elector approval for the three
loan authorizations proposed in this report.
The need to borrow funds for the capital projects arise as a result of many factors such as rising
capital costs in recent years which depleted our other funding sources such as surpluses and
reserves; and budget restraints, as we implement full-time fire services, has decreased the
funding available for capital projects. The inability to raise DCC rates to match the rising costs of
construction in recent years has meant that we now need to borrow for some DCC projects with
repayments to be made from future DCC receipts.

2008 Capital Works Loan Authorization Bylaws Sewer, Transportation & Stormwater

The proposed loan authorization bylaws will raise funds towards the Sewer, Transportation and
Stormwater capital projects as follows:
• The Aldergrove Connector Sanitary Sewer project is critical for sanitary sewer service
delivery for East Langley.
• The 64 Avenue Rail Overpass at Highway 10 project is critical for addressing the safety
issue with the current road/rail interaction of the CP Rail main line with Mufford Crescent
within the close proximity of Highway 10.
• Stormwater capital projects include the upgrade of the existing stormwater infrastructure
to reduce flooding and replace failing infrastructure; and the Northwest Langley Dyke
upgrade.
The Township will be borrowing a total of $19 million repayable over 20 years for Sewer,
Transportation and Stormwater capital projects. At current rates of 5.81% the annual loan
payments of principal and interest would be as follows:
Service Fund Debt Amount Source of Debt Annual Principal &

repayments Interest Payment
Sewer $ 8,700,000 Utility Revenue $ 800,000
Transportation $ 8,500,000 DCC Reserve $ 782,000
Storm water $ 1,800,000 Utility Revenue $ 166,000
Total $ 19,000,000 $1,748,000
These projects do not create any general revenue funded debt.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to obtain Council’s approval for the Sewer Capital Works Loan
Authorization Bylaw 2009 No. 4750 ($8.5 million); Transportation Capital Works Loan
Authorization Bylaw 2009 No. 4751 ($8.7 million); and Stormwater Capital Works Loan
Authorization Bylaw No. 4752 ($1.8 million) for various capital works within the 2009 Capital
Program.

During the budget deliberations for the 2009 Budget, certain Sewer, Transportation and
Stormwater capital works were identified as being funded from external debt. The Community
Charter stipulates that borrowings for greater than five years must be obtained from the
Municipal Finance Authority (MFA) and require a loan authorization bylaw. The three loan
authorization bylaws being brought forward start the borrowing process as described further
under the Legislation section below.
The need to borrow funds for the capital projects arise as a result of many factors such as rising
capital costs in recent years which depleted our other funding sources such as surpluses and
reserves; and budget restraints, as we implement full-time fire services, has decreased the
funding available for capital projects. The inability to raise DCC rates to match the rising costs of
construction in recent years has meant that we now need to borrow for some DCC projects with
repayments to be made from future DCC receipts.
The Aldergrove Connector Sanitary Sewer project is critical for sanitary sewer service delivery
for East Langley. Sewage from the communities of Aldergrove and Gloucester Estates is
currently sent to the JAMES Water Treatment Plant in Abbotsford. The sanitary sewer
connection through Abbotsford has reached its capacity. As a result, there is a heightened risk
of sewage overflows occurring, which could impact Bertrand Creek. The new sewer will
connect to the sewage collection system in Murrayville and from there to the Metro Vancouver
sewer system. The Aldergrove Connector Sanitary Sewer will ensure reliable sewer service for
East Langley and greatly reduce the risk of sewage overflows in or around Bertrand Creek. The
project will also allow the communities of Aldergrove and Gloucester Estates to grow and
prosper over the longer term. A portion of this project is being funded through external grants.
The 64 Avenue Rail Overpass at Highway 10 project for addresses the safety issue with the
current road/rail interaction of the CP Rail main line with Mufford Crescent within the close
proximity of Highway 10. The existing crossing currently exceeds the typical standard that
warrants grade separation. With the increased traffic volumes projected for both vehicles and
rail, these issues will increase. The 64 Avenue Rail Overpass at Highway 10 project was
studied and examined as part of the Roberts Bank Rail corridor project. The construction of a
grade separated crossing was identified as a priority. The $8.5 million contribution from the
Township towards this project is a component of the overall $51 million project that is being
cost-shared amongst several project partners.
There is various Stormwater capital projects which need to be undertaken this year, a couple of
the projects are listed below.
• Approximately $1.06M is required to upgrade existing stormwater infrastructure to

reduce flooding and replace failing infrastructure. The designs are complete and
construction is scheduled for the 2009 in stream works window of August 1 to
September 15.
• The upgrade of the Northwest Langley Dyke is partially funded through grants from
senior government agencies. However, the Township must contribute 33% in order to
receive that funding. Construction for part of the Northwest Langley Dyke upgrade is
proposed for the fall and winter of 2009 to 2010.

Current Financial Policies support the utilization of external debt for funding significant capital
projects which benefit the community for a period greater than the loan repayment period. The
advantage of debt financing is that significant projects are not unreasonably delayed and those
future taxpayers, who will benefit from the capital projects, also contribute toward the funding for
the project.
Legislation:
The Community Charter stipulates that borrowings for greater than five years must be obtained
from the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA) and require a loan authorization bylaw. Loan
authorization bylaws generally may only be adopted with the approval of the electors with some
exceptions. The Community Charter Regulation, Municipal Liabilities Regulations, provides an
exemption from elector approval if total annual debt servicing cost is less than 5% of the
municipal annual revenue calculated in accordance with this regulation. At this time the
Township meets this requirement and is therefore exempted from elector approval for the three
loan authorizations proposed in this report.
The borrowing process as stipulated in the Community Charter and the Local Government Act
for these three bylaws is as follows:
• The Municipality gives first three readings to the loan authorization bylaws.
• The loan authorization bylaws are forwarded to the Inspector of Municipalities for
approval.
• Once approved by the Inspector, Council may then adopt the bylaws.
• The Municipality applies for the final Certificate of Approval for the Loan Authorization
Bylaws at least one month (30 days) after the bylaws are adopted by Council.
Financial Implications
The 2009 Capital Budget includes capital works to be funded from external debt. Projects
selected to be funded from external debt generally are significant projects which will benefit the
community for a period longer than the debt repayment period of 20 years. The debt service
costs for principal and interest are also included within the 2009 Operating Budget.
The Township will be borrowing a total of $19 million repayable over 20 years for Sewer,
Transportation and Stormwater capital projects. At current rates of 5.81% the annual loan
payments of principal and interest would be as follows:
Service Fund Debt Amount Source of Debt Annual Principal &

repayments Interest Payment
Sewer $ 8,700,000 Utility Revenue $ 800,000
Transportation $ 8,500,000 DCC Reserve $ 782,000
Storm water $ 1,800,000 Utility Revenue $ 166,000
Total $ 19,000,000 $1,748,000
