78-162 — Methodist Church development in Montgomery, TX
The Church of Montgomery requested and received a variance to allow flexibility in implementing required visual buffers between the church site and adjacent residential properties, relocating the vegetative barrier outside a 30-foot drainage and utility easement where trees cannot be planted. The approved design maintains screening effectiveness through a combination of a six-foot fence, 15-foot mature trees, and six-foot shrubs. This variance accommodates site constraints while preserving the intended visual separation and canopy requirements.
