Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple Project

Bella Terra Residential Community and Temple Project

The proposed Project involves demolition of three existing residential structures and associated improvements to accommodate the construction of 12 single-family homes and a 3,500-SF religious temple on an approximate 2.5-acre site within the City associated with Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 100-261-18, -19, and -20. The Project will develop APNs 100-261-19 and 100-261-20 into 12 single-family, 2-story residences ranging from 1,576 SF to 2,538 SF in size. Each residence/lot will include a two-car garage and a driveway with space to accommodate two additional vehicles. Additionally, the Project will develop APN 100-261-18 into a 3,500-SF 2-story religious temple, which will include 19 parking stalls and share a private driveway with the residential area. The temple will consist of a main hall, upper level private altar with no public access, and a covered walkway. The Project overall would provide 55,566 SF of open space including a community garden, which represents approximately 69 percent of the total net buildable site area. The Project is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) required to permit construction and operation of a religious facility within the Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53) zoning district and a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to modify the SD-53 to allow religious facilities with a CUP and adopt parking standards for temple use that are consistent with those outlined in SD-53. Additionally, the Project requests a Tentative Tract Map (TTM) to subdivide the site into 13 developable lots and one common area lot to accommodate the proposed residential development.
