Every year, Langley City Council updates its strategic priorities plan. This plan outlines the City's mission, values, and core focus areas over the next five years. It also includes specific actions that Council would like to take. This plan is meant to be a living document as priorities may change and the City completes specific actions.
There are five top priorities for 2026, which layer onto the current work the City is doing within the strategic priorities plan.
Redevelop 20411 Fraser Highway: Partner with a developer to create a new mixed-use building that will include market and non-market homes at the entrance to the Fraser Highway Oneway.
Create a Standards of Maintenance Bylaw: A standard of maintenance bylaw sets the safety and quality standards that residential and commercial landlord must achieve on their properties.
Tenant Relocation Plans Policy: Last summer, Langley City Council approved a new tenant relocation policy, which set tenant compensation, relocation support, and the ability to return to a building after a redevelopment at a discounted rate. Council would like to see further refinements to the policy.
Amenity Cost Charges (ACC) Bylaw: The provincial government introduced ACCs to replace voluntary Community Amenity Contributions from developers. Local governments can use ACCs to fund infrastructure, including municipal buildings such as fire halls and recreation centres, that are required due to growth.
Develop Long-term Staffing Plan: As our community is growing and needs change, to continue to meet the needs of residents, businesses, and Council, the City will hire external support to develop a staffing plan.
The plan also has additional new initiatives that the City may take action on over the next year if time and resources are available. The City will continue to action on existing priorities that are in progress, such as the Innovation District strategy in partnership with KPU.
