Site Selection
Many sites were considered in the Greater Victoria area before selecting the Lot 3A site in Langford. Other than the site’s size and topographic characteristics, we require a site to serve members who live in the Victoria area with convenient access to where they live. Our members currently must take a time-consuming and sometime unreliable journey to Vancouver to worship. The Lot 3A site provides excellent transportation connections to the rest of the region and is central to a majority of our Greater Victoria-based members, allowing for a relatively short and reliable journey to the Church.
Site Details
Context Plan
2750 Leigh Road, Langford, BC (Lot 3A)
- Located at the intersection of Leigh Road and Highway 1, the site overlooks Langford Lake and the City of Langford.
Development Area
- Gross Site Area: 19,000 SM / 4.70 AC
Zoning Analysis
- Existing Zoning: MUE-1
- Proposed Zoning: MUE-1
- Proposed Use: Place of Worship (Text Amendment to the Subject Property Zoning)
Rationale
- The existing zoning permits a variety of educational, cultural, and recreational uses considered complementary to the proposed inclusion of Place of Worship.
- The proposed use is anticipated to provide a community amenity to the neighbourhood, surrounding area, and municipality, creating a prominent religious facility in Langford.
Conceptual Site Plan
Traffic and Zoning Analysis
Traffic Impact
- Current zoning regulation (MUE-1) permit several high-traffic uses, including drive-throughs, restaurants, and schools. These activities would generate peak traffic volumes significantly higher than those generated by a Place of Worship.
- Given the proposed rezoning, no increases in traffic volumes or congestion are anticipated.
Occupant Load
- 100% capacity = 254 people
- 80% capacity = 203 people
The trip generation information summarized below is well within the planned levels for the zoning and traffic design.
| TIME | TOTAL | IN | OUT |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM Peak Hour | 9:00 AM | 70 | 52 |
| PM Peak Hour | 5:00 PM | 86 | 44 |
| Sat Peak Hour | 11:00 AM | 99 | 39 |
