Langley adds MFI overlay, removes private/shared open space distinction and sets 50% permeable surface threshold
Summary
Council accepted the Planning Advisory Board’s recommendation to add a Multi‑Family Infill (MFI) overlay to the zoning map, removed the private/shared open space distinction, amended usable open space requirements, and set a 50% permeable surface threshold.
The council accepted the Planning Advisory Board recommendation to add a Multi‑Family Infill (MFI) overlay to the zoning map and agreed to multiple related edits to open space standards. Council removed the distinction between private and shared open space to provide flexibility for projects and agreed to amend the usable open space requirement as presented by staff.
Council also replaced a general permeable‑surface statement with a clear threshold: at least 50% of open space should be permeable surface. The council directed staff to incorporate these changes into draft code language and to return with implementation guidance and potential effects on permitting.
