brought to the attention of the applicant that county Land Development Code
requires that commercial Projects be accessed from a road meeting the standards of
6.04.00. The applicant is seeking relief from bringing the existing easement that
currently serves the area. There are six parcels that currently take access from the
easement, including the Mission. The Mission is located approximately 1300 from the
start of the easement. The Mission chose the property for their new church due to
the rural and wooded nature of the area. The applicant has stated that the church is
designed to maintain the natural beauty of the site and preserve as much of the
natural vegetation as possible. Through the Variance process, the Mission has
agreed to increase the stabilized width of the easement to 20’ and to maintain the
new stabilized surface.
