As mentioned in previous updates, on December 9th, Council gave second reading to the proposed updates to the draft Lougheed Transit Corridor Area Plan and Development Permit Area Guidelines. These updates support transit-oriented development near the future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations for the Langley-Haney Place BRT Line. These BRT station areas are envisioned as mixed-use employment hubs where residents will have access to new shopping and services near transit. Council also directed staff to accept and process new development applications and pre-application meetings within the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area.  

Land Use Policies:  

The land use policies of the Area will guide land use decision-making in this neighbourhood and support the City’s broader goals for growth management, housing, economic development, environmental protection, and climate resilience as expressed through the Official Community Plan. These policies outline general expectations for new development applications and certain requirements that may apply. Examples of general land use policies include: 

3-1 When considering applications for rezoning, an increased density of residential and commercial uses will generally be supported on lots near Lougheed Highway to increase the amount of housing, employment, shopping, and services within walking distance to Bus Rapid Transit stations.  

3-2 In addition to the uses referenced in Policy 3-1, other forms of non-residential development will generally be supported on lots near Lougheed Highway to create a complete community near transit, including new assembly, civic, light industrial, and institutional uses.  

Updated Development Permit Area Guidelines: 

The Lougheed Transit Corridor Development Permit Area Guidelines include detailed design criteria that must be met as part of a new development application in the area. The Guidelines work in tandem with the policies in the Area Plan and apply specifically to the following land use designations: 

• Ground-Oriented Residential  
• Lougheed Apartment
• Lougheed Mixed-Use
• Lougheed Transit Core
• Commercial

January 21, 2025

At their Council Workshop on January 21st, Council directed staff to proceed with public engagement on the updated concept Lougheed Transit Corridor Area Plan to gather feedback from the community and report back to Council. The report presented includes an updated concept plan for the Lougheed Transit Corridor following TransLink’s recent announcement on January 16, 2025 regarding the planned location of future BRT stations on Lougheed Highway at 203 Street, 207 Street, Laity Street, and 216 Street. Staff’s proposed changes to the LTCAP include expanded area plan boundaries, new land use designations and key destinations along the corridor, updated land use and housing data, and new design concepts for the greenway.  

Area Plan Boundaries:  

The LTCAP study area extends beyond the Lougheed Corridor, recognizing the opportunity for redevelopment in the area and to build a transit-oriented and well-connected neighbourhood. The updated LTCAP concept plan includes an expanded plan area boundary south of Lougheed Highway and north of Dewdney Trunk Road. The expanded boundary increases the total size of the LTCAP area from 2.1 to 3.5 km2. 

Land Use Designations:  

The updated concept plan for LTCAP includes new land use designations that support transit-oriented development and affordable housing near the proposed BRT stations. It offers flexibility for new residential, commercial, and mixed-use development, and implements the provincial legislation for Small Scale Multi-Unit Housing.
