A property owner requests a variance to split a 10.09-acre parcel in the unincorporated Sorrento area into two lots where the access easement is 10 feet wide at its narrowest instead of the required 50 feet. Fire Rescue said the easement does not meet fire code access standards and could not support it. It was on the Board of County Commissioners agenda on Aug 4 and Oct 6, 2026.

Outcome confirmed: After an Aug 4, 2026 hearing without a decision, the Lake County Board of County Commissioners approved the Escobedo Property variance (PZ2025-375, Final Development Order 2026-9) on October 6, 2026, conditioned on fire sprinklers in the home and keeping the road passable for emergency vehicles, per the Clerk's Board Action summary.
