Permit (UP73-82) for the existing church use. The proposed project would add 10,381
square feet of new floor area to the existing church building. The new addition would
create a Youth Center Building and also enclose the existing patio area to create a new
indoor lobby/entrance. Interior renovations are also proposed and well as revised
