Last Monday, Langely City Council gave first and second reading for two bylaws to accommodate a 5-storey, 56-unit apartment development at 20179, 20189, & 20199 53A Avenue. Because the proposed development is not consistent with the current Official Community Plan, but will be under the proposed new Official Community Plan, Langely City staff recommended updating the current Official Community Plan along with the normal rezoning process for this proposed project.

Council has enabled staff to schedule a public hearing on this project by giving first and second reading to the bylaws.
After the public hearing, I will post more about this project, but you can view the architectural drawings, landscape drawings, and Advisory Design Plan recommendations from the City’s website.
Council also gave third reading to a bylaw that would enable the construction of a 5-storey, 62-unit apartment at the corner of 56th Avenue and 201A Street. This proposed development is on the site of a former fire-damaged apartment building. The third reading of a bylaw occurs after a public hearing.

Langley City’s Advisory Design Plan made two recommendations about this proposed development:
- That the size of the balconies increase
- That the uncovered balconies have rain protection
The development proponent stated that they would be increasing the usable area or size of balconies throughout the project. The proponent also added a two-foot-deep overhang at a minimum over the previously unprotected balconies.
