July 25 Council Notes: Apartment and Mixed-Use Projects. 46 Avenue Storm Sewer.

On Monday, Langley City Council held its final meeting before the summer meeting break. The next Council meeting will be on September 19th. As a note, there are now only two Council meetings left before the general local government election on October 15th.

Over the coming day, I’ll post about what Council addressed at the Monday meeting. Today, I will be focusing on development and infrastructure matters.

Council gave third reading to a rezoning bylaw which will allow for a 5-storey, 93-unit rental apartment at the northwest corner of 53rd Avenue and 201A Street.

You can read more about this proposed project in a previous post.

Before Council considers giving final reading of a rezoning bylaw and issuing a development permit, City staff make sure that all engineering drawings for a project are validated to meet all pertinent province laws, Langley City bylaws, and regulations. The City also makes sure it has collected all required deposits, fees, and charges.

Council gave final reading to a 6-storey, 92-unit apartment project on the southeast corner of 55A Avenue and Brydon Crescent as well as a 6-storey, 144-unit apartment mixed-use building on the northwest corner of 201A Street and Fraser Highway. The mixed-use building will have 9,053 sq. ft. of ground-level retail space. Council also issued a development permit for each of these projects.
