the existing creek and north of Dublin Canyon Road, in an area that includes a well but is otherwise vacant. Beyond the improvements noted above, the majority of the site is undeveloped, with predominantly ruderal/non-native grasslands and mixed oak/bay woodland trees along the creek. 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 phases on a 4.3 -acre portion of the site. The church building would include a sanctuary/nave with seating for up to 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, a commercial kitchen, and a gymnasium. As part of the site improvements, the applicant is proposing to construct 121 parking spaces on the subject site. 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. Phases 1 and 2 are anticipated to take between 2-5 years to complete. The third phase (Phase 3) is to be completed in three subphases 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 the church's existing facility from its current location in Castro Valley 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 Pleasant Valley Church of Christ, and one parcel for the new Greek Orthodox Church). Figure 2 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 Dublin Canyon Road, just west of Laurel Creek Drive. The multi-purpose building will be setback approximately 25 feet from the property line along Dublin Canyon Road; however, the two-story portion of the building will be stepped back considerably further, at approximately 87 -feet from the property line. The multi-purpose building will also be setback 35 feet from the adjacent single-family property line to the west, separated by a driveway, and 15 -foot landscape buffer. The principal vehicle access for church patrons and guests will be provided by the main central driveway. The far western driveway will primarily be used as a service entry for garbage pick-up, deliveries, and emergency vehicle access. Page 4 of 12
