LDS Temple, 771 W. Fremont Ave.
Sunnyvale
Description
A study session on a 30,831-square-foot temple with a steeple reaching 129 feet, plus a parcel map to split the lot. The public hearing with a decision comes later.
Impact summary
The steeple would be a visible landmark near single-family homes; the church says most vantage points are screened by trees, and the grounds stay open to the public.
