Title
Reduced Commercial Off-Street Parking Requirements for Downtown Aldergrove
Recommended Action
Whereas reduced commercial off-street parking requirements in
Fort Langley are 50% of the those elsewhere throughout the Township of Langley, as outlined within Zoning Bylaw 2500, Section107.1(2);
Whereas these reduced commercial off-street parking requirements have been one of the most instrumental, structural, positive bylaws responsible for the revitalization and increasing success of
Fort Langley’s commercial core area;
Whereas Aldergrove has immense potential to also experience similar private investment, revitalization and commercial success within its core area; and
Whereas the Aldergrove Core Area Plan (ACAP) policies 3.2.19, 3.2.23, 3.2.28 all clearly support and encourage the implementation of the same model for success based on reduced commercial parking requirements, clearly demonstrated and proven by the success within Fort Langley’s commercial core;
Therefore be it resolved that staff be directed to propose an appropriate process, potentially in coordination with an external consultant, to consider the reduction of commercial off-street parking and loading requirements within the Aldergrove Core Area Plan area by up to 75%.
