Temple Isaiah Community Building Expansion

planned

Temple Isaiah has applied for permits to build a new 16,565-square-foot, two-story community building next to its existing campus at 945 Risa Road on Lafayette's west side. The project includes requests for a land use permit, Hillside Development Permit, grading permit, tree removal permit, and variances for building height and reduced parking. The building would exceed the height limit by reaching 47 feet, 5 inches, and involves removal of 20 protected trees and moving roughly 875 cubic yards of soil on the hillside site. The project is undergoing an unusual review process with early planning commission feedback before environmental studies are complete.
