BF Welcome to the Open House
Brookswood/FernridgeCommunity Plan Open House 2
Background & Purpose
The Township of Langley is updating the
Community Plan for Brookswood/Fernridge.
This will provide a vision for the future of the
community informed by residents, property
owners, and key stakeholders in collaboration
with Township staff. Once complete, the new
plan will set out future land uses for the area,
as well as identify future infrastructure and
transportation initiatives. This plan will serve to
guide new growth to 2041.
The goal of this open house will be to:
• Provide a summary of community feedback
from the January open house
• Gather your feedback on the draft land use
plan presented
We Value Your Input
When you have finished looking at the boards,
please fill out a feedback questionnaire.
The materials from this open house along with
the feedback questionnaire will be available
online. We will be accepting feedback until April
30th 2013.
If you have any questions please ask a member
of staff.
The Process
The process to develop a new Community Plan
kicked off in October 2012 with a series of
three community workshops. In January 2013,
two open houses were held to further refine
community priorities. Feedback from these
workshops and open houses identified key
community characteristics that are important
to local residents and helped to lay out future
priorities and goals for the development of the
area.
This feedback has been used to create a draft
land use plan that is presented for feedback as
part of this open house.
Information gathered at this open house
will be used to develop a community plan
document including a prefered land use plan for
Brookswood/Fernridge. This will be presented
to Council in the fall for approval.

Brookswood/FernridgeCommunity Plan Open House 2
Background
A series of workshops were held in October
2012 to gather feedback from the community
regarding their vision for the future of
Brookswood/Fernridge. These workshops were
attended by over 500 residents who were asked
to submit group responses to general questions
about the community. This feedback led to the
development of a series of conceptual land
use options and guiding principles which were
presented to the community at open houses
held in January 2013.
At the January open houses, attendees were
asked to review conceptual land use options
and answer questions regarding specific land
use elements within the community. Topics
covered included Housing, Environment, Parks
and Open Space, Services, Employment and
Transportation. Over 550 questionnaires were
returned. Responses are illustrated in the
tables below.
Key Issue 1: Housing
‘Which housing option do you prefer?’
Respondents were fairly evenly split between
favouring subdivision into large lots (Option 1)
and supporting the diversification of housing
(Options 2 & 3).
Key Issue 2: Environment, Parks, and
Open Space
‘Which option for locating parks and open
spaces do you prefer? ’
Respondents were split relatively evenly
between all three options.
Option 1: Subdivision
Subdivision to create large
lots evenly distributed across
the neighbourhood with some
multi-acre parcels remaining
in the east.
Option 1:
Focal Points
Combine parks with
local facilities to create
neighbourhood focal points,
as shown in the 1987
Community Plan.
Option 2: Centre
Medium density housing
concentrated around
four main intersections,
decreasing in density to large
acreages in the east.
Option 2: Consolidated
Explore options to create
a large consolidated park
located within the community.
Option 3: Centres &
Corridors
Similar to Option Two, with
additional medium density
housing located along major
corridors.
Option 3: Linear
Connections
Focus on enhancing the
community trail system.

Brookswood/FernridgeCommunity Plan Open House 2
Key Issue 3: Services
‘Which option for locating services do you
prefer?’
Respondents were fairly evenly split between
Options 1 to focus future commercial growth
within existing centres (41%) and Option 3 to
focus new growth to create a new commercial
centre at 32 Avenue and 200 Street (40%).
Key Issue 4: Employment
‘Would you support the addition of light
industrial or other employment use in southwest
Brookswood/Fernridge to generate local
employment?’
The majority of respondents (67%) did not
support the addition of light industrial land in
the southwest area of Brookswood/Fernridge.
Key Issue 5: Transportation
‘Do you think the transportation plan addresses
the needs of the community?’
The majority of respondents (63%) support
the existing transportation plan, though many
recognise that needs may change if there are
significant changes to land use and population
distribution.
Option 1:
Enhance Existing
Focus future growth within the
existing commercial areas.
Option 2: Distributed
Add additional supply in
new locations distributed
throughout the community.
Option 3: New Centre
Focus new growth to create a
new commercial centre at 32
Ave and 200 Street.

LU DraftLand Use
Brookswood/FernridgeCommunity Plan Open House 2
Summary of the Land Use Plan
The Draft Land Use Plan supports the
community’s vision to remain a predominantly
single family neighbourhood. Multifamily
housing has been proposed around village
centres to accommodate moderate growth in
key areas and diversify housing options for the
community in the future. The village centres
are located near major road intersections to
support transit and to ensure that accessible
local services are available across the
community.
The Draft Land Use Plan incorporates
institutional, recreational and conservation
areas, including the proposed addition of new
schools and parks.
Population Summary
The population forecast for the area, based
on proposed Land Use Designations, is
approximately 42,000 people.
Land Use Designations
The Land Use Designations shown on the Draft
Land Use Plan are described below.
1. Single Family (2 Units per Acre)
This designation includes single family lots of ½
acre or larger. These lots occur in the area south
of 20 Avenue and in the Rees Lake and Sunrise
Lake areas. These areas account for 6% of
residential land use within the plan and contain
approximately 150 acres.
2. Single Family (4 Units per Acre)
This designation includes ¼ acre single family
lots, such as the existing lots north of 36th
Avenue and west of 208 Street. These areas
account for 30% of residential land use within
the plan and contain approximately 700 acres.
3. Single Family (6 Units per Acre)
This designation includes 7,000 square foot
single family lots at a density of 6 units per acre.
This will replace some of the larger acreages in
the south of the community allowing for gradual
subdivision of larger lots into additional single
family homes. These areas account for 47% of
residential land use within the plan and contain
approximately 1,220 acres.
4. Single Family (8 Units per Acre)
This designation includes 5,500 square foot
single family lots, at a density of 8 units per
acre. This designation is proposed for areas
within a 10 minute walk (800 m) of the proposed
village centres. These areas account for 7% of
residential land use within the plan and contain
approximately 200 acres.
This designation includes two existing
manufactured home parks (located on 198
St at 40 Ave, and on 200 St at 30 Ave). The
designation for these parks has not changed
from the 1987 Community Plan.

Land Use Designations
Land Use Designations are defined division
of land into areas of different current and
allowed future uses to align with a long term
community plan.
The Community Plan proposes Land Use
Designations to guide future growth in
Brookswood/Fernridge over the next
30 years. The Community Plan’s Land
Use Designations do not enable new
development to occur or existing land
uses to change. The Community Plan
simply establishes the guiding land use
framework which will be used to inform the
development of subsequent Neighbourhood
Plans. It is only once a Neighbourhood Plan
has been adopted that the underlying land
use can change to enable new development.
This will include:
• 37,500 people living in Single Family Homes
• 3,500 people living in Townhouses or
Apartments
• 1,000 people living in Manufactured Home
Parks
5. Manufactured Home Parks (8
Units per Acre)
This designation includes four existing
manufactured home parks all located south
of 26 Avenue. These parks provide affordable
housing for seniors in the community. These
areas account for 2.6% of residential land use
within the plan and contain approximately 60
acres.
6. Single Family (10 Units per Acre)
This designation includes 4,000 square foot
single family lots, at a density of 10 units
per acre. This land use is proposed for areas
which are located within close proximity of
village centres. These areas account for 4% of
residential land use within the plan and contain
approximately 120 acres.
7. Medium Density Housing
This designation includes low density row
housing at a density of approximately 14 units
per acre. These land uses are proposed near
village centres at 32 Avenue and 24 Avenue.
This will provide additional housing options
for young families and seniors. These areas
account for 1.2% of residential land use within
the plan and contain approximately 32 acres.
8. Low Rise Apartments
This designation includes 3-4 storey apartment
buildings. These areas are located near the
village centre at 32 Avenue. This form of housing
will accommodate moderate growth in key
areas and diversify housing options in the
future, such as adding seniors housing. These
areas account for 0.2% of residential land use
within the plan and contain approximately 5
acres.
9. Mixed Use Low Rise Apartments
This designation includes 3-4 storey apartment
buildings with residential above commercial.
This land use is proposed in village centres
and will provide additional housing options
for seniors. These areas account for 2% of
residential land use within the plan and contain
approximately 50 acres.
Institutional
This designation includes schools, churches,
recreation centres, libraries, seniors centres,
and sites for other civic uses. In addition to
the institutional sites designated on the Land
Use Plan it is anticipated there will be 6 to 7
new elementary schools, 3 new middle schools
and 1 new high school required to service the
community as the population grows. Locations
of new school sites will be determined by the
school board over time based on need and
land acquisition opportunities. Refer to Parks
and Schools Open House board for more
information.
Parks and Conservation Areas
This designation includes all parks and open
spaces, including community athletic parks,
passive parks, neighbourhood and community
parks. Conservation and buffer areas include
lands located within 30 meters of Class A (fish
bearing) streams and lands located within the
BC Hydro Transmission line Right Of Way which
will form part of the parks and trails network.
Development Permit Areas (DPAs)
The final plan will provide design guidelines
for Development Permit Areas. The Township
will require a detailed plan to be prepared
for development in these areas before it is
approved.
1. Mixed Use/Multi-Family Areas
This Permit area surrounds the Mixed Use
and Multi-Family land uses that are located
adjacent to, and comprise the village centres.
2. Agricultural Land Reserve Edge
This Development Permit Area runs along the
eastern edge of the Community Plan boundary,
where Brookswood/Fernridge abuts the
Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). This permit
area extends along the ALR boundary and a
vegetative buffer and building setback must be
provided along this edge.

Housing
One of the key directions provided by the
Community Plan will be the manner in which
new residents are accommodated within
Brookswood/Fernridge. The Draft Land Use
Plan provides for a future population of
approximately 42,000 residents in Brookswood/
Fernridge over the next three decades.
As new residents are added to the community,
density increases and the community will
undergo some changes. New housing provides
opportunities for younger people to enter the
housing market, young families to move into
larger homes and older residents to downsize to
units that are easier to maintain. As population
increases, so too does the ability of the
community to support services, such as retail,
health, and transit, that were identified in the
workshops as desirable by local residents.
The Draft Land Use Plan proposes a number
of future housing categories for Brookswood/
Fernridge. These follow the overall land use
designations for the Township of Langley
while introducing new land use classifications
where required to reflect the specific needs of
community.
Pocket Neighbourhoods
Pocket neighbourhoods are a grouping of
smaller residences, often around a courtyard or
common garden, designed to promote a close
knit sense of community and neighbourliness
with an increased level of contact.
Considerations involved in planning and zoning
pocket neighbourhoods include reducing or
segregating parking and roadways, the use of
shared communal areas that promote social
activities, and homes with smaller square
footage built in close proximity to one another.
Currently, the Township does not have pocket
neighbourhoods. However, the Council would
like to explore options for this type of housing
model in Brookswood/Fernridge in the Single
Family land use designations in the future.
What we heard from you...
“We need choices so people can age in place
and young families can have a start.”
• Single family lots preferred
• Variety of single family lot sizes is
appealing
• Maximize preservation of green space by
maintain larger lots on the eastern edge
of community
• Maintain the existing character while
allowing for some development
• More housing options are needed in the
community
• New housing options should be centrally
located
• Variety of housing will bring ‘new life’ to
the community
• Growth should be concentrated along
corridors to increase access to services
and transit

Park land is also allocated according to density
as per the following:
• Neighbourhood Park - 2 acres per 1,000
people
• Community Park - 2 acres per 1,000 people
• Municipal Park - 4 acres per 1,000 people
As Brookswood/Fernridge grows, additional
park space will be required. The distribution
of park space will be dependent on allocation
in currently served areas, land acquisition,
co-location with future schools sites, and
optimizing naturalized locations where
possible. The proposed land uses will increase
the current population to approximately 42,000
residents, triggering an additional 200 acres
of park space. Some of this additional open
space will be provided in conjunction with the
provision of new schools.
The Brookswood/Fernridge community has
a strong interest in preserving the natural
environment and based on feedback from the
workshops and Open House 1, would like to see
the environment, park and open space systems
enhanced and expanded.
Acquisition of Park Land
There are three levels of parks identified in the
Township: Municipal Parks, Community Parks
and Neighbourhood Parks.
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan sets out
the standards for park land distribution and
acquisition throughout the Township. There are
three mechanisms for acquiring park land:
• Development Cost Charges (DCCs)
• Neighbourhood Park Land Acquisition Policy
(provides parks at 5% of the land base of a
neighbourhood plan area)
• Greenway Amenity Fee
What we heard from you...
“Keep lots of greenspace not only for people
but as habitat for wildlife.”
• Keep the natural feeling of Brookswood/
Fernridge
• Provide accessible neighbourhood parks
and flexible ‘mini-places’ located close to
home
• Addition of a fenced dog park
• Preservation of trees, wildlife, and fish-
bearing habitats
• Provide a linked trail network for walking,
cycling, and equestrian recreation
• Connect trail system to broader parks
like Latimer Park (Surrey) and Campbell
Valley
• Provide greenways
Schools
The Township of Langley will work with School
District #35 to provide additional schools as
the population increases. School sites and
locations will be verified by the school district
as development occurs and land acquisition
permits. The Brookswood/Fernridge Draft
Land Use Plan projects a population of 42,000
over the next thirty years. Currently, the
Township of Langley’s Official Community Plan
projects Brookswood/Fernridge will require
6-7 elementary, 3 middle, and 1 high school, in
addition to existing schools in the area.
As a standard practise, School District #35 and
the Township of Langley will work together to
incorporate the addition of new park space with
the development of school sites.
It is not yet known what the park requirements
will be for the newly adopted middle school
format. This planning process hopes to
articulate those park designations in
collaboration with the School District #35 and
the Township’s Recreation, Culture and Parks
Division by the plan’s expected adoption. We
have indicated potential park lands next to
contextual middle school locations on the map
in anticipation.
Anderson Creek Stormwater Plan
An Integrated Stormwater Management Plan
is underway for the Anderson Creek watershed
to ensure that the river system, aquifer and
riparian areas are not negatively affected by
development. The outcomes of this plan will
be integrated into the Brookswood/Fernridge
Community Plan.
Stormwater Detention
Prior to each phase opening up for development
the required community stormwater detention
site to serve that phase must be secured,
either by the Township or the development
proponents, and must be located to serve the
entire storm catchment area.

03 Services & Employment
Brookswood/FernridgeCommunity Plan Open House 2
Provision of local services is important as it
supports a decrease in traffic congestion and
reduces travel distances required to access
amenities, supporting walking and cycling as
viable modes of transport. Commercial uses
provide employment opportunities and financial
support for services (as commercial land uses
pay higher property taxes than residential uses),
and contribute to a more balanced, complete
community in general.
Existing centres currently provide
approximately 250,000 sq. ft. of retail and
commercial floor space. A future population in
Brookswood/Fernridge of approximately 42,000
residents could support an additional 300,000
sq. ft. for a total of 550,000 sq. ft. of retail and
commercial floor space. This is a significant
new supply – more than double the existing
inventory.
Brookswood/Fernridge is currently supported
by three local retail and service areas. The
What we heard from you...
“More service means less driving and possibility
of walking”
• Majority of residents do not support the
addition of light industrial land due to
potential impacts on the natural character of
the area and traffic
• Industrial areas in South Surrey Campbell
Heights area provides adequete light
industrial and employment lands
• Maintain and enhance existing commercial
areas
• Support for new commercial development at
key locations like 200 Street and 32 Avenue
• Preference for smaller accessible commercial
development (no ‘big box’)
• New jobs created in commercial
developments
largest and most successful is located at 40
Avenue and 200 Street. There are two smaller
centres, at 40 Avenue and 208 Street and at 24
Avenue and 200 Street.
To meet the additional demand the Draft Land
Use Plan seeks to enhance existing commercial
growth along the 200 Street corridor, while
adding an additional commercial centre at 32
Avenue.
This form of development would favour
walkability and street orientation. It would
support a range of new business types and
sizes offering both convenience and destination
opportunities. Commercial development will be
controlled though the use of design guidelines
to provide the highest level of community
aesthetic.
Based on average retail spending patterns, each
new resident will spend an estimated $1,500 -
$2,500 per year within the local community on
retail and personal services supporting the health
of existing retail areas and the diversification of
services within the local community. Based on the
Brookswood/Fernridge Draft Land Use Plan, the
additional population would spend $60 million per
year locally.
Character of Village Centres
The mixed use developments in the four village
centres have been designated as Development
Permit Areas in the Draft Land use Plan.
This means that the form and character of
development in these areas can be controlled
through design guidelines to ensure that
they develop into small-scale, pedestrian-
oriented ‘main-streets’ in keeping with the rural
character of the area.

St4 LANES REMAIN ON 200 STREET- New
road capacity on 208 Street will be
required to accommodate increased
traffic due to new increased densities at
commercial nodes on 200 Street.
WIDENING TO 4 LANES ON 200 STREET
SOUTH OF 32 AVENUE – 200 Street may
need to be widened to 4 lanes south
of 36 Avenue to accommodate higher
density development nodes.
POTENTIAL INTERSECTION UPGRADES
– Intersection upgrades are identified
in green on the map and will be
required to support increased traffic
flows, mitigate turning delays, and
increase safety
CONNECTIVITY ON 32 AVENUE into
Aldergrove will be evaluated as
part of overall plan
INCREASE CAPACITY ON 208
STREET – Upgrading 208 Street will
provide additional North – South
capacity and decrease congestion
on 200 Street
WIDEN TO 4 LANES–
40 Street will act as an
eastward connector into
Aldergrove and onto Fraser
Highway and may require
upgrades and increased
capacity to 4 lanes in the
future
CONNECTIVITY TO SURREY – Provide and
maintain roadway connectivity and road
class into Surrey

04 TransportationBrookswood/FernridgeCommunity Plan Open House 2
This is a preliminary road network appraisal
and will be refined as the Draft Land Use Plan
is confirmed. The roadway classifications and
potential upgrades were identified on a high-
level assessment of the planned land use for
Brookswood/Fernridge community. New traffic
forecasts will be developed and presented to
the community as part of this study prior to
endorsement by Council. The planning process
will also be exploring north-south connections
at 198 Street, 202 Street and 206 Street.
What we heard from you...
“At the moment it is lightly populated and we have little public transit. As the community grows so
should transit.”
• Existing transportation plan is sufficient
• Transit service improvements are desirable to improve connections to destinations like
Langley City, Willowbrook Mall, Skytrain stations, and local schools
• Pedestrian safety is a priority
• Traffic improvements will be required with population increases
• Improve biking facilities in the forms of cycling lanes, connections, and transit bike racks
• Improve pedestrian facilities especially provision of sidewalks
NS Next StepsBrookswood/FernridgeCommunity Plan Open House 2
See more information on the Community & Neighbourhood Planning Processes at: www.tol.ca/brooks-fernplan
What’s Next?
The open house boards and the feedback forms will
be available on the Township of Langley’s website.
Feedback will be received until April 30th, 2013.
A summary of the open house comments will be
posted to the project website in early May. The
project website is:
www.tol.ca/brooks-fernplan
Feedback from this open house will be used to
create a final Community Plan with a preferred
land use plan for Brookswood/Fernridge. The
final Community Plan will be presented to the
public at an open house prior to presentation at
Council for approval in Fall 2013.
Neighbourhood Planning Process
In the Fall of 2013, the Township and
its consultants will also kick-off the
Neighbourhood Planning process for the Griffith
Neighbourhood.
While the parameters, land uses and goals for
the Griffith Neighbourhood will be defined to
a large extent by this Community Plan process,
the Neighbourhood Plan will also include a
number of opportunities for residents to provide
their input into the future development of the
Griffith area.
This feedback will be collected through a design
workshop, several open houses and through the
participation of a Neighbourhood Team which will
provide input into the planning and policy and will
include representatives from the community, the
Township and its consultants.
Thank you for participating!
