At their meeting on July 21st, Council received the draft vision and guiding principles for an updated Willoughby Community Plan including the consolidation of five neighbourhood plans in the western portion of Willoughby into one transit-oriented development corridor while maintaining the neighbourhood plans in the eastern portion of Willoughby for future Council consideration. As part of the current Official Community Plan (OCP) update, Council directed staff to: 

1. Examine the potential for townhouse development as an alternative to small-scale multi-unit housing in some low-density residential areas.
2. Consider the Provinces transit oriented definition with support for a wider range of potential housing options and lower minimum densities. 
3. Establish the southern boundary of the Willoughby Community Plan at 68 Avenue (west of 200 Street), making the plan area more consistent with 200 Street 2040 and considering the excluded area as part of the future Willowbrook Community Plan update.
