The City of Langley Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2018 to help sustain Langley’s character as a vibrant coastal town. Land use is a key element of the plan, which calls for more than one type of housing within a neighborhood in order to better serve the needs of the community with a range of household sizes, lifestyles and economic mix.

As part of the proposed Coles Valley Neighborhood Plan, the developer has the financial obligation to provide a first draft for City review and consideration of possible rules to enable a mixed-use planned unit development, or PUD. This public workshop will give the community the opportunity to help shape these rules.

The developer hired a planning consultant, Placemakers, to assist in this process to facilitate the community workshop and write a first draft of the new development regulations. These rules will establish a clear process for development proposals like the Coles Valley Neighborhood. The draft rules will go through the public process for consideration by the Planning Advisory Board and the City Council. Should the City decide to adopt these new rules, all developers will have to file complete applications and receive approval to develop their property.
