Document Description
The project would be constructed in two phases. Phase I would include construction of a 23,000 square-foot, 1,500 seat church with a 50-foot high central dome, an outdoor gathering area to the west of the church and a large circular drop-off zone adjacent to the sanctuary with potential future access from Otay Mesa Road. In addition, there would be a linear drop-off zone to the west of the Phase II school location on the west end of the project site. Parking for 532 vehicles is proposed along the south and west boundaries of the site. Phase II would include a 48,000 square-foot education center consisting of a single-story parish hall/gymnasium with a 42-foot high dome, an outdoor amphitheater located on the east side of the parish hall, and a two-story preschool/elementary school with a 49-foot dome. The proposal project also includes an 8,000 square-foot, one-story administrative office building for the church and the school. Outdoor facilities include a soccer playing field on the north side of the site, an outdoor kindergarten play area, outdoor lunch area and a basketball court on the north side of the school building. The project would require a Community Plan Amendment to reclassify future Street "A" and a portion of Otay Mesa Road, and may require a change in the current land use designation in the Otay Mesa Community Plan from Town Center (TC) to Commercial Center (CC).
