Title
South Campbell Heights
Recommended Action
Whereas the South Campbell Heights area, which borders on the Township of Langley, is bounded by 188 and 196 Street, between
12 and 20 Avenues in South Surrey, is designated as a Special Study Area in the Metro Vancouver (MV) Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) and the City of Surrey Official Community Plan (OCP);
Whereas recent studies have identified significant environmental resources within the area, including those specifically related to groundwater protection; and
Whereas, the City of Surrey, in response to substantive concerns from area residents and recommendations by the MV Board, has recently released a revised draft land-use plan for the South Campbell Heights area;
Therefore be it resolved that Langley Township Council write to the City of Surrey Council, Semiahmoo First Nations Council, and the
MV Board of Directors, indicating its concerns regarding the revised draft land-use plan for the South Campbell Heights area, and further, that the correspondence outline support for land-use alternatives that would better protect and enhance the significant environmental resources identified in a number of studies undertaken, including ground water resources and the requirement for enhanced aquifer protection.
