Surrey council approves Semiahmoo Town Centre plan
New plan sets height limits of 28-storeys near 152 Street and 16 Avenue.
Surrey council has endorsed a plan that sets building height limits of up to 28-storeys in the Semiahmoo Shopping Centre area.
Council gave the nod to the Semiahmoo Town Centre plan at Monday evening’s regular council meeting. The plan allows for a mix of 20- to 28-storey buildings on the Semiahmoo Shopping Centre and Save-On-Foods properties, which is considered to be the heart of the plan. The plan allows for a corridor of six-storey buildings along 152 Street from 18 Avenue to 23 Avenue. Height limits become gradually lower east and west of the 152 Street corridor.
During council discussion, Coun. Brenda Locke noted that she hasn’t heard a lot of positive feedback from the neighbourhood – “not that I would expect that we would get a ton.”
