WAT KHMER KAMPUCHEA KROM TEMPLE PROJECT (SP20-024/ER20-147)

Description

The project applicant proposes to construct an approximately 13,902-square foot Wat Khmer Kampuchea Krom Buddhist Temple on the approximately 1.86-gross acre site. The applicant is proposing a rezoning of the project site from the R-1-5 Zoning District to the PQP Public/ Quasi-Public Zoning District to allow for the construction of a religious assembly use to serve the existing local Khmer Krom religious community, whose current temple functions out of a converted residence at a different site in San José. These operations would be discontinued and moved to the new location. The Public/Quasi-Public Zoning District allows church/religious assembly uses upon issuance of a special use permit. The proposed project would comprise of two buildings – a Temple Sanctuary building and a Community building. A surface parking lot with 67 parking spaces (including valet) would be located at the interior of the lot with an entry drive located along Ruby Avenue. The project would also provide new buffer landscaping on the perimeter of the site, including new street trees. A six-foot-tall masonry sound screen wall would be constructed at the property lines. The proposed project would also construct roadway improvements including a roundabout.
