Legal Description: Lot A, Section 10, Township 8,


New Westminster District Plan 84272

Location: 19705 Fraser Highway

Area: 19.6 ha (48.2 ac)

Existing Zoning: Land Use Contract 74 (LUC 74)

Willowbrook Community Plan: Regional Commercial

Langley Town Centre Plan: Willowbrook - Mixed Use

BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
The subject site is designated Regional Commercial in the Willowbrook Community Plan and
Mixed Use in the Langley Town Centre Plan. The subject property is regulated by Land Use
Contract 74, which permits shopping centres. Additional policy documents guiding development
of the site include the Langley Town Centre Plan (1994), the Willowbrook Pedestrian and
Bicycle Study (1998), and the Willowbrook Transit Exchange and Conceptual Area Plan (2013).

The property is designated a mandatory development permit area in the Willowbrook


Community Plan providing Council the opportunity to review the form and character of the
proposed development. Issuance of a development permit is required prior to a building permit
being issued. The Willowbrook Community Plan Development Permit Area B Commercial and
Business/Office Park and Regional Commercial/Business/Office Park and Comprehensive
Development guidelines also refer to Sections 6.2 and 6.5 of the Langley Town Centre Plan.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The proposed development includes removal of 7,249 m2 (78,035 ft2) of existing retail space
(formerly occupied by Toys R Us and Sport Chek) from the existing Willowbrook Mall building
and construction of a 19,509 m2 (210,000 ft2) expansion in multiple buildings on the north side of
Willowbrook Mall over a new underground parkade. In accordance with Councils policy, a
rendering, site plan, and building elevations have been submitted detailing the proposed
developments form, character and siting. Proposed Development Permit No. 100861 is
included as Attachment A to this report.

Adjacent Uses:
North: Willowbrook Drive beyond which are commercial uses (Heritage Meats,
Go Bananas, TD Bank, Sandman Hotel) regulated by Land Use Contract 74;
East: Commercial uses (Royal Bank, Dollarama, Safeway) regulated by Land Use
Contract 76 or zoned Commercial Zone C-1, beyond which is 200 Street;

B.1 - Page 11
B.1
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION NO. 100861
(DIALOG DESIGN / 19705 FRASER HIGHWAY)
Page 12 . .

South: Willowbrook Mall, regulated by Land Use Contract 74, beyond which is
Fraser Highway; and
West: Willowbrook Drive, beyond which are commercial uses regulated by Land Use
Contract 74 contained in multi-tenant buildings.

Development Permit:
The 19,509 m2 (210,000 ft2) expansion is comprised of 15 buildings of varying sizes over a new
underground parkade. According to the proponent, the project is intended to modernize
the design of the mall to respond to the changing retail market.

As shown on the site plan, the buildings at the northern edge of the project are sited to front
Willowbrook Drive with restaurant uses facing the street or architectural detailing and
landscaping treatments to provide visual interest. Between 197 Street and 198 Street fronting
Willowbrook Drive, the development includes a plaza. The plaza provides space for patios for
buildings 2 and 3 as well as informal seating opportunities carved from mounded planted areas,
sculptural art pieces and a water feature. A central, glass covered pedestrian corridor connects
the plaza to the existing mall building with traffic controlled crossings of vehicle drive aisles.

South of the plaza is a one way drive aisle with angle parking and an access to the underground
parkade. The rear facades of buildings 5 and 6 are clad in a wave patterned slatted concrete
panel. A new retail street is proposed south of buildings 5 and 6 and north of buildings 7
through 10. The buildings are designed to face the street, which is designed to accommodate
two-way traffic movements, parallel parking and sidewalks.

South of buildings 7 through 10, a new pedestrian oriented shopping area is proposed.
Buildings 7 through 10 and 11 through 15 are designed to face the pedestrian area. The
pedestrian spaces are proposed to include seating, play equipment, landscaping and art.

The project proposes to alter the existing parking lots east and west of 197 Street and
198 Street to accommodate new driveway configurations and pedestrian connections as shown
on the site plan. As well, the project includes a new design for the western entrance to the mall.

The architect's design rationale (Attachment D) indicates that:

"The architectural expression is one of warmth, welcome, and place


identification. The west coast style with its dominant roof lines, large expanses of
glass, and natural materials fits comfortably into the Langley environment and
natural surroundings. Large canopies and overhangs protect from the rain offering
the visitor a comfortable environment to experience. The warmth of the wood and
strategically applied illumination creates a sense of comfort, intimacy and
animation.

The scale of the buildings vary to create interest and provide a comfortable street
section. The north side of the high street is slightly higher than the south side to
mitigate the grade level changes on the north edge of the site but also take
advantage of the sun exposure.

The dominant glazing at the entrances and other important locations of the
expansion are treated with an organic frit pattern that provides design and aesthetic
appeal, but also screens the sun to mitigate heat gain inside the space. One glass
allows permeability, light penetration, visibility and the frit screens filter the sun.

B.1 - Page 12
B.1
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION NO. 100861
(DIALOG DESIGN / 19705 FRASER HIGHWAY)
Page 13 . .

The high quality, natural materials give a sense of welcome and warmth that
modernizes the centre and is indicative of Langley's emergence into a desirable
urban community."

The fifteen single storey buildings step with the existing grade on the site down from
Willowbrook Drive to where the southern proposed buildings join the existing mall. The height
of each individual building varies with canopies and architectural projections defining the
roofline. All buildings include canopies that project over the retail frontages to provide weather
protection. The proposed building heights comply with LUC 74s prescribed maximum height
requirement of 15.8 m (52 ft). The proposed floor space ratio of 0.4 complies with Land Use
Contract 74s prescribed maximum floor space ratio of 0.5.

Elevations (Attachment A Schedules O through T) have been provided detailing the form,
height and massing of the proposed buildings. Typical renderings have also been provided
indicating the materials and architectural style of the buildings (Attachment A Schedules A
through E). The buildings will feature three complementary palettes of artificial and natural wood
panels, concrete panels, charcoal brick, metal panels in accent and base colours, and clear,
spandrel and fritted glazing.

Loading and garbage enclosure areas are contained within the buildings. For buildings 1 and 4,
loading docks are proposed adjacent to Willowbrook Drive. These loading bays are screened
with full height walls clad in a variety of architectural materials and vine trellises.

The rooftop mechanical equipment is proposed to be located so that it is not visible from the
street as shown in Attachment A - Schedule N and to be screened by architecturally compatible
treatments as shown conceptually in Attachment A - Schedule M. Utility items on the ground
will be integrated with landscaping or screened with architecturally compatible treatments as
shown conceptually in Attachment A - Schedule M.

Proposed variances:
The applicant is requesting two (2) variances to Land Use Contract 74 related to parking and
building siting provisions.

Parking:
Land Use Contract 74 requires the provision of parking for shopping centre complexes as
follows: the higher of 5.0 stalls per 1,000 square feet of gross leaseable area (GLA), or that
ratio of spaces to GLA required by the Ministry of Transportation and Highways. The applicant
is requesting a variance to the Land Use Contract to allow a parking requirement of 4.25 stalls
per 1,000 square feet of gross leasable area for the full site.

582,038 ft2 2,910 spaces 2,474 spaces 2,631 spaces

Staff notes that the site design currently accommodates more parking spaces than indicated in
the proposed variance. The extra spaces provide flexibility for the applicant to respond to
changes in gross leaseable area due to modifications to common spaces as the buildings are
leased and/or to address unforeseen items that may arise during detailed design.

B.1 - Page 13

DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION NO. 100861
(DIALOG DESIGN / 19705 FRASER HIGHWAY)
Page 14 . .

The applicants rationale for the parking variance is included as Attachment C to this report and
indicates the following:

The parking ratio in the Land Use Contract dates back to 1994 and does not reflect
the current parking standards for larger regional shopping centres. In many other
jurisdictions ratios for shopping centres similar to Willowbrook are between 3.0 and
4.25 per 1000 SF of GLA. For example the City of Richmond requires a ratio of
4.0/100m2 of GLA (3.7/1000SF of GLA), QuadReals Hillside Centre (similar size
mall and transit service) in Victoria has a ratio of 3.0/1000SF of GLA and Highstreet
in Abbotsford has a ratio of 4/1000SF of GLA.

The TIA submitted by Bunt & Associates, dated August 11, 2017, supports our proposed
variance and estimates that the proposed ratio will be sufficient for the property with the
exception of a 4 hour period on pre Christmas peak Saturdays. This peak pre Christmas
period demand is not unique or unusual and can be mitigated by a variety of parking
management strategies. During the peak Christmas period the shopping centre has and
will continue to offer management strategies such as limiting / restricting employee
parking, on site personnel to direct and control key intersections and valet parking to
increase parking capacity.

In support of this variance, the proposed development incorporates several elements to


support alternative modes of transportation including:
Integration of a significant on site Transit exchange in the south west parking area.
Pedestrian connections are incorporated in the design to provide strong linkage from
the exchange to the shopping centre. The design for the transit exchange has been
reviewed by TransLink and integrates with the future Rapid Transit Station to be
located in this general area.
Integration of the on site TransLink community shuttle bus with the pedestrian realm of
the outdoor retail expansion.
Provision of dedicated bicycle lanes on the property that connect to the existing
Township of Langley bicycle lanes on 197th.
Enhanced bicycle parking facilities including indoor secure storage for shopping centre
employees and staff.
Enhanced pedestrian realm along Willowbrook Drive and throughout the Shopping
Centre to provide safe comfortable connections from the adjacent communities.
The mall administration is also reviewing the advantages of offering preferred parking
for carpooling.

Building Siting:
Land Use Contract 74 requires that any building which forms part of the shopping centre
complex must be constructed a minimum of 12 metres (40 feet) from any dedicated municipal
street. To achieve the objectives of the Willowbrook Community Plan around creating an active
street frontage on Willowbrook Drive, the applicant proposes the following siting requiring
variances to Land Use Contract 74:

a. 7.6 m (24.9 ft) from Willowbrook Drive to the northwest corner of building 1
b. 2.8 m (9.3 ft) from Willowbrook Drive to the north side of building 2
c. 2.0 m (6.5 ft) from Willowbrook Drive to the north side of building 3
d. 7.8 m (25.2 ft) from Willowbrook Drive to the north side of building 4

B.1 - Page 14
B.1
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION NO. 100861
(DIALOG DESIGN / 19705 FRASER HIGHWAY)
Page 15 . .

The buildings on either side of the plaza (buildings 2 and 3) are designed to face Willowbrook
Drive with active street frontages, clear glazing and entrance doors. The buildings at the
eastern and western extents of the proposed development (buildings 1 and 4) achieve the siting
objectives of the Willowbrook Community Plan and provide visual interest through a
combination of architectural treatments including spandrel glazing, variation in finish materials,
and landscaping.

The applicants rationale for the requested siting variance is included as Attachment C to this
report and indicates the following:

We understand that it is the direction of Council through existing policy that


Willowbrook Drive transform into a more vibrant street with pedestrian oriented retail
and potential residential above. This direction requires a relaxation of the existing
40 setback outlined in the Land Use Contract to allow the buildings to be located
closer to the property line.

The proposed expansion balances the desire to locate and animate buildings along
Willowbrook Drive and the need to create a variety of retail and pedestrian
experiences to complement and support the existing enclosed shopping centre.
Buildings that are unable to have entrances or windows, due to tenant constraints
and/or grading, are located a minimum of 24.9 (7.6M) from the property. This allows
for enhanced landscaping in addition to the articulated building faades. Buildings
that are designed with glazing and have the potential for entrances along
Willowbrook Drive are located in close proximity to the property line to reinforce the
connectivity to the street and new public realm.

In addition we propose to enhance to pedestrian and visual experience along


Willowbrook. In consultation with administration, on the Public realm we
incorporated a new 3M sidewalk that is separated from Willowbrook drive by a
2M boulevard. We will reinforce the new public trees by providing addition
landscape buffer on private property with matching trees. This new walk, flanked by
double row of trees greatly enhances the pedestrian experience around the property
and improves the linkages into the surrounding communities.

Signage:
Fascia signage is proposed at various locations on the exterior of the buildings. The proposed
signage is illustrated in Attachment A Schedules A through E of the Development Permit as
well as the building elevations (Attachment A - Schedules O through T), and is required to
comply with the Townships Sign Bylaw. Existing freestanding signage is proposed to be
retained as shown on the site plan (Attachment A Schedule G).

Access and Parking:


Currently, there are four driveway accesses to the site from Willowbrook Drive (across from
Superstore (1), at 197 Street (3), at 198 Street (2) and on the west side of the site (4)). The
existing access from 200 Street in the east via adjacent properties is unchanged. The existing
indirect connection through the site from east to west is maintained via the creation of a new
shopping street with parallel parking (6).

The access across from Superstore (1) will provide access only to the proposed underground
parkade and will be modified to restrict left turn movements from the Willowbrook Mall site to
Willowbrook Drive. A restrictive covenant limiting access is included as a condition of the
Development Permit.

B.1 - Page 15
B.1
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION NO. 100861
(DIALOG DESIGN / 19705 FRASER HIGHWAY)
Page 16 . .

The 197 Street (3) and 198 Street (2) accesses are proposed to be modified to include
sidewalks and landscaping on both sides of the drive aisles in a space approximately 6m from
curb to building. The 197 Street (3) driveway is also proposed to be modified to include bike
lanes connecting to the existing bike lanes on 197 Street north of Willowbrook Drive.

A new, full movement access to the site is proposed to be added on the west side of the site (5).
This access will provide access to the underground parking, and include bike lanes, sidewalks
and landscaping. A signal will be added at the intersection of the access with Willowbrook
Drive. An existing driveway on the west side of Willowbrook Drive will be modified to align with
the new, signalized intersection.

The existing access on the west side of the site (4) is proposed to be modified to restrict the
movements to right in right out only. The access modification has been designed in consultation
with TransLink to provide for ongoing bus movements. Modification of this access will include
median works on Willowbrook Drive.

Page 17 . .

The parking lots will be reconfigured as shown in Attachment A - Schedules G through L to


accommodate the revised accesses to the site, improved pedestrian and bicycle movements
and landscaping.

The applicant proposes significant improvements to the pedestrian connectivity across the site
by adding sidewalks through the existing parking areas north of the existing mall, on both sides
of the driveway entrances, and through the shopping area as shown in Schedule A
Attachment H.

The subject development application, including access and parking, has been reviewed and
granted preliminary approval by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI). Final
concurrence from MOTI is a condition of the building permit.

Tree Protection/Replacement:
122 significant trees were identified on that portion of the overall site affected by the
development proposal, primarily in the parking lots. Thirteen (13) trees are proposed to
be retained. In accordance with the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw
(Schedule I - Tree Protection), 606 replacement trees are required to be either planted onsite
or otherwise in accordance with the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw
(Schedule I Tree Protection). The applicant is proposing to plant 375 trees on the subject
site and 44 street trees. Final tree retention, protection, and replacement plans are subject to
the final acceptance of the Township at time of building permit.

Landscaping:
The on-site landscape plan proposes tree, low shrub, grass and groundcover plantings adjacent
to buildings and throughout the parking area. Vine covered trellises/green screens are
proposed on the west elevation of building 1 and north elevation of building 4 to provide visual
interest to the walls created to screen the loading areas. The Willowbrook Mall frontage of the
site is proposed to be redeveloped with a 2m front boulevard including street trees, a 3m wide
concrete sidewalk and plantings in the back boulevard and adjacent to the buildings. The
applicant proposes a plaza in between buildings 2 and 3 (197 and 198 Streets) which provides
space for social gathering and patios. Final acceptance of the landscape plans is a condition of
the Development Permit.

Servicing:
Full urban services front the subject site. As a condition of building permit, the applicant will be
required to enter into a Servicing Agreement with the Township to secure off-site improvements,
including driveway accesses and intersection and boulevard improvements on Willowbrook
Drive, and service connections to the satisfaction of the Township. Prior to work commencing on
the site, site-specific servicing and stormwater management plans (including detention /
infiltration) must be submitted in accordance with the Townships Subdivision and Development
Servicing Bylaw to the acceptance of the Township. In addition, an erosion and sediment
control plan is required in accordance with the Erosion and Sediment Control Bylaw to the
acceptance of the Township.

Transit:
Community shuttle route C64 is available through the Willowbrook Mall site. This bus service
will be maintained during construction and as part of the improvements to the site. Bus routes
are also available on Fraser Highway (501, 502, 503), Willowbrook Drive (501) and 64 Avenue

Page 18 . .

(395, 364, C70). TransLink is currently working on plans to extend rapid transit service to
Langley via Fraser Highway with a station planned at the southern end of the Willowbrook Mall
site. The construction proposed on the north side of the mall by the subject development does
not affect the future development of the rapid transit station on the south side of the mall.

Exterior Lighting:
Council adopted an Exterior Lighting Impact Policy in 2004 intended to address concerns
regarding off-site lighting impacts from commercial and industrial development located within
150 metres from residential and rural properties. The subject site is located approximately
100 metres from residential properties to the north and is therefore subject to the conditions of
the policy. Provision of an exterior lighting impact plan is required as a condition of the building
permit.

Environment:
The Townships Sustainability Charter includes environmental objectives to protect and enhance
rivers, streams, wildlife habitats and environmentally sensitive areas in the Township. These
environmental objectives are supported by policy and guidance outlined in the Townships
Environmentally Sensitive Areas Study, Wildlife Habitat Conservation Strategy, Schedule 3 of
the Township OCP, Erosion and Sediment Control Bylaw, and Subdivision and Development
Servicing Bylaw (Schedule I Tree Protection) which promote sound environmental
management practices and outline Township environmental performance expectations. The
provision of stormwater management and sediment control measures and compliance with the
Townships Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw (Schedule I Tree Protection)
satisfies the objectives of the Sustainability Charter. There are no watercourses on the subject
site.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS:
The proposed development complies with the sites Land Use Contract 74 provisions and the
Willowbrook Community Plan Development Permit Area B provisions with the exception of the
requested siting and parking variances.

With regards to siting, the proposed siting achieves the objectives of the Willowbrook
Community Plan of enhancing the streetscape on Willowbrook Drive through the placement of
street facing buildings. This objective is also supported by the public realm improvements
proposed, including installation of a 3m wide sidewalk separated from traffic by a boulevard
planted with street trees.

With regards to parking, the applicants rationale indicates that the proposed parking is sufficient
for the proposed development except during the pre-Christmas peak period. The applicant has
proposed transportation demand measures to address this anticipated shortfall. The proposal
also includes onsite pedestrian realm and cycling facility improvements to encourage alternative
access to the mall site. In addition, the applicant has ensured that the current design allows for
the continued operation of existing TransLink bus routes through the site and does not limit the
future development opportunities related to anticipated future rapid transit at the southern extent
of the site.

6.2 WILLOWBROOK CORE

The overall objective of the urban design guidelines for the Willowbrook Core area is to create a more
"urban" pattern of development. This will mean a gradual restructuring of the shopping centre
surrounded by surface parking to a new set of streets bordered by infill development.

1. Introduce a finer pattern of streets into the existing area, breaking up the large parking lots into
development sites for future building infill.

2. As the density of development increases, parking should increasingly be in structure, not in


surface lots.

3. Encourage infill development to create street frontages with surface or structured parking
behind, not in front of, the new buildings.

4. Ensure that the ground floor of new development includes retail or other public-oriented use
facing the street frontages.

5. Encourage multifamily residential development, particularly 'in the north section of


Willowbrook, in mixed-use or exclusively residential buildings.

6. Any new development on 200th Street should be built closer to the fronting property line, with
a landscaped setback of five metres and with parking behind the development.

B.1 - Page 60
B.1
LANGLEY TOWN CENTRE PLAN Page 35

7. Develop a civic square, centrally located and approximately one-half acre in size, as a focus for
pedestrian activity in the Willowbrook Core. Commercial space around the square should be
occupied by uses that will animate the area, such as retail and restaurant. This square could be
achieved as part of the next major commercial development in Willowbrook.

8. Encourage a mix of building types and heights but also establish some unifying urban design
and architectural elements, such as building lines, continuous retail frontage, pedestrian - cover,
building materials, and landscaping treatment.

9. Implement coordinated public streetscape improvements such as paving, lighting, tree planting
and furnishings throughout the Willowbrook area.

LANGLEY TOWN CENTRE PLAN Page 38

6.5 MUFFORD INDUSTRIAL AREA AND WILLOWBROOK BUSINESS PARK/OFFICE


AREA

This sub-area is seen as a mix of office and good quality light industrial users in a business park setting.

1. Encourage street-fronting buildings in this area with ground floor glazing facing the street to
provide visual interest. Parking and loading should mainly be in the rear, but it is acknowledged
that businesses will want some parking in front.

2. Where parking needs to be in front, require a five metre landscaping buffer strip between the
property line and the parking.

3. Establish a streetscape strategy with uniform lamp standards and one or more preferred tree types,
to be planted along property lines by site developers and owners.

4. The ready-mix concrete plant at 20574 Mufford Crescent (Lot 63 and 65, Plan 2466) is
acknowledged as an existing heavy industrial use with potential for redevelopment and upgrading
in the future as a continuing heavy industrial use.

Re: Willowbrook Shopping Centre Expansion


Our File: 03384C02

Dear Ms. Hanson:

Further to our recent meeting, we reviewed the two variances requested in our application
and offer the following clarifications and rationale.

BUILDING SETBACK VARIANCE:

The setbacks from the property line along Willowbrook drive are as follows:

Building 1

15.2m (49.8 Ft) on the West along Willowbrook Drive


7.6m (24.9 Ft) on the North West Corner
15.2m (55.4 Ft) on the North along Willowbrook Drive

Building 2

2.8m (9.2 Ft) on the North along Willowbrook Drive

Building 3

2.0m (6.5 Ft) on the North along Willowbrook Drive

Building 4

7.7m (25.2 Ft) on the North along Willowbrook Drive

The Land Use Contract requires a setback of 40, therefore a variance is required for the
above buildings with the exception of the north and west face of Building 1.

B.1 - Page 63
B.1
Ms. Teresa Hanson
Township of Langley
Our File: 03384C02
November 29, 2017
Page 2

Our rationale for the setback variance is as follows:

We understand that is the direction of Council through existing policy that Willowbrook Drive
transform into a more vibrant street with pedestrian oriented retail and potential residential
above. This direction requires a relaxation of the existing 40 setback outlined in the Land
Use Contract to allow the buildings to be located closer to the property line.

The proposed expansion balances the desire to locate and animate buildings along
Willowbrook Drive and the need to create a variety of retail and pedestrian experiences to
compliment and support the existing enclosed shopping centre. Buildings that are unable to
have entrances or windows, due to tenant constraints and/or grading, are located a
minimum of 24.9 (7.6M) from the property. This allows for enhanced landscaping in
addition to the articulated building faades. Buildings that are designed with glazing and
have the potential for entrances along Willowbrook Drive are located in close proximity to
the property line to reinforce the connectivity to the street and new public realm.

In addition we propose to enhance to pedestrian and visual experience along Willowbrook.


The existing 1.5M sidewalk located along the edge of Willowbrook Drive. In consultation
with administration, on the Public realm we incorporated a new 3M sidewalk that is
separated from Willowbrook drive by a 2M boulevard. We will reinforce the new public tress
by providing addition landscape buffer on private property with matching trees. This new
walk, flanked by double row of trees greatly enhances the pedestrian experience around the
property and improves the linkages into the surrounding communities.

PARKING VARIANCE:

As per our application and supporting TIA submitted by Bunt & Associates on August 11,
2017, we are looking for a parking variance from the 5.0 cars per 1,000 SF Gross Leasable
Area (GLA) in the Land Use Contract to a ratio of 4.25 cars per 1,000 SF of Gross Leasable
Area.

The following table summarizes the parking statistics related to the portion of the property
under the jurisdiction of the Township of Langley and the existing Land Use Contract 74.

Gross Leasable Parking under LUC Parking under proposed Parking Provided1
Area at 5 / 1000 SF variance of 4.25 /1000 SF
582,038 SF 2,910 Stalls 2,474 Stalls 2,631 Stalls

1 The drawings currently indicate more parking than the requested variance parking to
allow for any loss of stalls due to unforeseen items that may arise during the detail
drawings or change in GLA due to modifications in common area or exiting as the
buildings are leased.

B.1 - Page 64
B.1
Ms. Teresa Hanson
Township of Langley
Our File: 03384C02
November 29, 2017
Page 3

Our Rationale for the variance is as follows.

The parking ratio in the Land Use Contract dates back to 1994 and does not reflect the
current parking standards for larger regional shopping centres. In many other jurisdictions
ratios for shopping centres similar to Willowbrook are between 3.0 and 4.25 per 1000 SF of
GLA. For example the City of Richmond requires a ratio of 4.0/100m2 of GLA (3.7/1000SF
of GLA), QuadReals Hillside Centre (similar size mall and transit service) in Victoria has a
ratio of 3.0/1000SF of GLA and Highstreet in Abbotsford has a ratio of 4/1000SF of GLA.

The TIA submitted by Bunt & Associates, dated August 11, 2017, supports our proposed
variance and estimates that the proposed ratio will be sufficient for the property with the
exception of a 4 hour period on pre Christmas peak Saturdays. This peak pre Christmas
period demand is not unique or unusual and can be mitigated a variety parking
management strategies. During the peak Christmas period the shopping centre has and will
continue to offer management strategies such as limiting / restricting employee parking, on
site personnel to direct and control key intersections and valet parking to increase parking
capacity.

In support of this variance, the proposed development incorporates several elements to


support alternative modes of transportation including:

Integration of a significant on site Transit exchange in the south west parking area.
Pedestrian connections are incorporated in the design to provide strong linkage from
the exchange to the shopping centre. The design for the transit exchange has been
reviewed by TransLink and integrates with the future Rapid Transit Station to be
located in this general area.

Integration of the on site TransLink community shuttle bus with the pedestrian realm
of the outdoor retail expansion.

Provision of dedicated bicycle lanes on the property that connect to the existing
Township of Langley bicycle lanes on 197th.

Enhanced bicycle parking facilities including indoor secure storage for shopping
centre employees and staff.

Enhanced pedestrian realm along Willowbrook Drive and through out the Shopping
Centre to provide safe comfortable connections from the adjacent communities.

The mall administration is also reviewing the advantages of offering preferred


parking for carpooling.

EXIST ING SIT E C ONT E XT
Willowbrook Shopping Centre is located at the intersection of the Fraser Highway and the
Langley Bypass, which is also the junction point where 3 different municipalities meet.
The Willowbrook site exists primarily within the Township of Langley with the Southeast
2 quadrant of the site residing within the City of Langley. Across the Fraser Highway to the
Southwest is the City of Surrey.

The Langley area is largely a suburban community with the periphery areas maintaining
an agricultural function. Despite the existing low density context, there is a desire to
densify the area, connect the Willowbrook Shopping Centre site to the larger community
in a more meaningful way, and diversify the shopping experience at Willowbrook. We will
outline how we propose to accomplish this throughout this document.

Willowbrook Shopping Centre will be designed to fit within the surrounding


context. The architectural expression will embrace the West Coast style, with natural
materials that are indigenous to the area. Clean, simple lines and volumes will
ground the architecture in present day and multiple horizontal overhangs will provide
pedestrians with protection from the rain. The architectural style will be accentuated
by the outdoor gathering space and contemporary landscaping to bring an organic
feel to the development and leave visitors with refreshing outdoor impression.

QuadReal, the owners of the property, are committed to sustainability and reducing the impact
SU S TA I NABI L ITY of their properties and development. QuadReals goal at Willowbrook is to shadow LEED Gold
I NI T IA TI VES initiatives where ever possible and practical. The following are sustainability interventions proposed
for Willowbrook:
6 Transportation
Goal: Addressing Single Occupant Vehicle trips of Customers.

We will provide preferred parking for carpools, high efficiency vehicles, and charging stations for electric
vehicles. We are working with the Township and TransLink to accommodate on-site transit layover and
ultimately a skytrain station.

Physical Footprint of Development


Goal: Address the area of impermeability created by parking lot and large foot print
buildings.

We are proposing additional and integrated landscaping in the new development. The goal is to maximize
open space, encouraging community gatherings and walkability. As a per the Townships restriction on
use of potable water for irrigation, the proposed landscaping that will be drought tolerant and not require
permanent irrigation system. We are investigating the viability of harvesting rainwater for irrigation.

Energy
Goal: Reduce energy consumption of overall site development, and encourage tenants to reduce daily
operational consumption.

We plan to meet ASHRAE prescriptive envelope requirements. Early stage energy


modeling to optimize envelope and systems during design development is recommended. The following
energy efficiency measures will be considered and studied:

Reduce window-to-wall ratio (WWR)


Double glazed windows and storefront glazing, with thermally broken
frames
Minimum R20 roof insulation
Minimum R12 insulation for mass walls, and R13+R7.5 continuous

Solar shading of appropriate window areas to reduce cooling load. Goal: Limit water consumption
Efficient HVAC systems.
- High efficiency rooftop HVAC units with heat recovery in the Low flow plumbing fixtures will be utilized throughout the project.
ventilation sections Captured rainwater for irrigation will be investigated.
- Ground source heat pump system serving individual water to
air heat pumps in the retail units
Decrease lighting power density using LED lighting and automatic
controls
Sub-meter individual retail spaces and charge tenants for direct energy
usage.
Use non CFC and HCFC refrigerants in all HVAC and refrigeration systems.
Purchasing of green power as per LEED requirements.
Hire a third party to provide enhanced commissioning of building systems Further, the landowner has already implemented the following key initiatives

Waste Streams Property Management:


Goal: Address the various waste streams associated with Retail development. Consider Willowbrook is certified BOMA BESt Level 4 by the Building Owners and Managers
