Title

Tumbleweed Sanctuary Project

Description

The Project proposes to develop an approximately 13,915 SF ancillary parking lot with 41 parking spaces to accommodate future special event uses in a former church, and proposes to install 8,874 SF of native vegetation on the vacant northernmost parcel (APN 0588-016-01) of the Project site. In addition, the Project would restripe the existing parking lot, consisting of 14 existing parking spaces, to implement four new EV stalls for a total of 18 parking spaces (APN 0588-021-21). The existing one-story 3,729 SF former church would remain in place but would be converted to a special event center. With the change in use, church operations would no longer be allowed on the Project site. No construction or expansion of the existing structure is proposed. The existing desert vegetation and outdoor garden features located on the southern portion of the Project site would remain in place. Adjacent off-site roadway and sidewalk improvements along Pueblo Trail and Chula Vista, are also proposed as part of the Project. The Project requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow special event uses and for the development of the proposed parking lot for the proposed use; Site Plan and Design Review of the proposed Project; and a California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Take Permit for the removal/relocation of Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia).
