Overview

Aberdeen / Townline is two community areas in the west of the City of Abbotsford, named separately in the Official Community Plan. Aberdeen is about 43 square kilometres, running from the US border to about 49.09 N, and about 97% of it is Agricultural Land Reserve. Townline is about 6 square kilometres around the Highway 1 exit, and only about 2% of it is in the reserve.

Townline is where the urban housing is. Highstreet Village and Exit 83 (Mt Lehman Road) are inside it, and so are Rick Hansen Secondary and Eugene Reimer Middle. Aberdeen is farmland and acreage. A reserve parcel follows the Agricultural Land Commission Act: subdividing needs the Commission's approval, and many non-farm uses need an application. The Abbotsford Official Community Plan governs land use in both.

For schools, both communities are in School District 34 (Abbotsford). Aberdeen is 65% in Aberdeen Elementary's catchment and 34% in Ross Elementary's, with Eugene Reimer Middle and Rick Hansen Secondary covering essentially all of it. Townline is 42% Blue Jay, 21% Harry Sayers, 20% Mt. Lehman and 14% Dave Kandal, and 97% Eugene Reimer and Rick Hansen. Shares are land area, not households.

The Abbotsford International Airport is outside both communities. From the airport site the nearest Aberdeen boundary is 1.4 kilometres away and the nearest Townline boundary 2.7 kilometres.

SkyTrain does not run in Abbotsford. Bill 44 applies to the City as a provincial rule. Confirm the zone, the reserve status and servicing for any lot.
