Draft - Official Community Plan - Surrey 2050

Part B – Growth Strategy

OBJECTIVE

1.1 Grow Complete Communities

While differing in character and built environment, all complete communities have the following common features:

The growth strategy envisions all eight communities growing and maturing as complete communities. A complete community consists of residential neighbourhoods supported by non residential lands, and a core growth area. Complete communities reduce automobile reliance and greenhouse gas emissions by increasing accessibility. They promote a stronger sense of belonging and reduce isolation. They also enable residents from a range of lifestyles, ages, and incomes to live comfortably and conveniently in the same neighbourhood.

Housing Diversity: a mix of housing options, including types, sizes, and tenures (see D1 Housing). Transportation Options: a variety of transportation options including walking, cycling, and transit (see D2 Transportation). Employment Opportunities and Commercial Convenience: access to jobs, shops, and services (see D3 Economy). Community Amenities: a range of facilities and spaces, such as schools, parkland , recreation centres, and libraries (see D4 Community Infrastructure). Natural Areas: places that enable biodiversity and connection to nature (see D7 Natural Assets, Biodiversity, & Nature-Based Infrastructure)
