From a high point of approximately 480 feet in elevation where the church building is located, the property drops steeply down towards the creek and flattens out along Dublin Canyon Road at approximately 420 feet in elevation. The 4.3 -acre portion of the site proposed to be developed with the new church, shown in Figure 2, is located south of the existing creek and north of Dublin Canyon Road. It currently contains a barn, corral, and a well. The majority of the site is undeveloped, with predominantly ruderal/non-native grasslands and mixed oak/bay woodland along the creek. The existing oak/bay woodland provides an abundance of foraging opportunities for a wide range of animal species. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant proposes to construct and operate a 9,792 -square -foot church and 24,971 - square -foot multi-purpose building in multiple stages on a 4.3 -acre portion of the site. The church building is proposed to include a sanctuary/nave with seating for 358 people as well as a vaulted choir loft. The multi-purpose building would be two -stories and include administration offices, religious education/study rooms, commercial kitchen, and gymnasium. The Project is proposed to be completed in phases. The first phase (Phase 1) will be to grade the site and prepare the site for construction (utilities, pads, landscaping, hardscaping). The second phase (Phase 2) will be the construction of the 9,792 -square -foot church. Phase 1 and 2 are anticipated to take between 2-5 years to complete. The third phase (Phase 3) is to construct the 24,971 -square -foot multi-purpose building. Phase 3 is anticipated to occur within 5-15 years with the complete relocation of their existing facility within 15 years. Site Plan and Access The applicant is proposing to subdivide the roughly 16 -acre parcel into two parcels (one parcel for the existing church and one parcel for the new Greek Orthodox Church. Figure 3 shows the proposed 4.3 -acre portion of the site. The proposed new church parcel will extend from the top of the southern bank of the creek, with the creek and remainder of the site remaining within the existing church parcel. The new church site will be approximately 4.3 -acres and will be accessed from two driveways off of Dublin Canyon Road, just west of Laurel Creek Drive. The multi-purpose building will be located closer to Dublin Canyon Road and will be setback approximately 25 feet from the property line along the road. The multi-purpose building will also be setback 35 feet from the adjacent single-family property to the west separated by driveway and 15 -foot landscape buffer. The main central driveway will be used for church patrons and guests while the far western driveway will primarily be used for garbage pick-up, delivery, and emergency services.
