Challenges
o Less Density & Few Transit Trips = Less Transit Options For Langley o Mixed-Use With Local Stores vs. Big Chain Stores – What Is Needed Now? o Commercial Stand-Alone = Unattractiveness On Our Biggest Gateway
o Enough Large Supermarkets in Area - Why Not Local Businesses
o Larger Commercial With Less Residential Is Not Higher Use of Precious Land
o Jericho Commercial Should Support Local Residents – Daily Needs - Walkable
o Neighbours Concerned With Excessive Outside Traffic With Large Commercial

Langley SolutionsFor Council Consideration
1. Limit Floor Commercial Space = Encourage Local Business/Local Products
2. Do Not Allow Commercial Ahead of Residential – Allow ONLY True Mixed Use
3. Jericho Commercial Should Support The Local Neighbourhood
4. Respect the 200th Street Transit Corridor Through Smart Land Use Planning
5. Do Not Allow a Langley Motordom Along 200th Street
