Draft - Official Community Plan - Surrey 2050

Part B – Growth Strategy

B1 City Structure

Surrey is made up of eight distinct communities: Whalley, Guildford, Fleetwood. Newton, Cloverdale, Clayton, Grandview and Semiahmoo. Together, these eight communities provide the organizing framework for the city. These communities contain residential neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods are supported by non-residential lands, such as industrial and employment lands, natural areas, and agricultural lands. This is where residents work and recreate, and how, supply chains for food and other goods are sustained. Additionally, every community contains a core growth area ( City Centre or a Town Centre ). This is where housing, services, amenities, and public facilities are concentrated. Growth areas are connected to one another and the region by transit.

Goal:

Accommodate population growth, intensify employment lands, and protect natural areas.

Objectives:

1.1

Grow Complete Communities

1.2

Grow Near Transit

1.3

Intensify Employment Lands

1.4

Protect Natural Areas, Parkland, & Agriculture Lands

The City Structure Map (see Figure B1) illustrates how these elements and the objectives of the growth strategy come together, city-wide.
