Title

Jeweled Palace Buddhist Temple at Dharma Realm

Description

The Proposed Temple Project would involve partial demolition of two buildings and total demolition of a courtyard and associated courtyard features and an “L” shaped structure; once demolition is complete, a new 3-story, approximately 90-foot-tall Temple Building and pedestrian bridge (“Sky Bridge”) would be constructed. The proposed Temple Building would be 99,414 sf and octagonal in shape. The ground floor of the building would include a kitchen and a dining area. The second level would serve as a lecture space and the third level would include a temple hall. The Sky Bridge would consist of a mix of steps and a paved bridge pathway that would ascend over two existing buildings to connect to the third story of the building. The total area of the Sky Bridge would be 19,620 sf for a total combined area of 119,034 sf. The Proposed Project would also include the construction of three new entrance/egress areas, including a gated archway along El Rancho Court that would serve as the main site access, as well as a pedestrian plaza and vehicular circulation and pedestrian connectivity improvements within the site. The Proposed Project includes two annual special events and seminars for up to 2,000 attendees that would be held on two weekends.
