Plan Surrey 2013: Official Community Plan

BYLAW NO. 18020 | OCTOBER 20, 2014

City Centre serves as a hub for rapid transit and fre- quent bus service and is the focus of significant high density residential and commercial development intended to accommodate 75,000 people by 2041. Extensive civic develop- ment has also taken place including a new Stadium, Senior’s Centre, RCMP E Division Office, Hospital Outpatient Care Facility and Emergency Room expan- sion. Additionally, city- wide cultural events are held in City Centre such as Surrey’s Winterfest and the ever-popular Fusion Festi- val.

CITY CENTRE

Guildford Town Centre is characterized by overall low-density commercial development, a few stand- alone high density com- mercial developments and older, walk-up style apart- ment buildings. Higher density residential and commercial development is expected to increase given its proximity to the Trans Canada Highway (Highway #1).
